293: Chapter 293 The US's COVID-19 data is far ahead! Trump: Why not try injecting disinfectant?

As the Azure Dragon Supplement was being administered in batches across China, major official media outlets began their follow-up promotional reports.

"The era of China where everyone is like a dragon is fast approaching!"

"..."

"Azure Dragon Supplement!"

"An advanced secret formula based on Da Qinglong Decoction and Xiao Qinglong Decoction!"

"The effect is to greatly stimulate physical potential, improve physical fitness, and enhance human immunity!"

"..."

"Yanhuang Project!"

"The nation's highest-level scientific research project!"

"The main research goal is to map the standard genome sequence of the Chinese people, combine it with special traditional chinese medicine secret formulas passed down since ancient times in China to conduct comparative research, and explore the development of special supplements exclusive to the Chinese people!"

"Azure Dragon Supplement and Azure Dragon Decoction are both results of the first phase of the project!"

"..."

"The founder, leader, and cornerstone of the Yanhuang Project is the Chief Designer of China Military Industry Equipment — Lin Mo!"

"Major research team members include: Professor Ai Chongfeng, Academician Tu Shuangyou, Professor Shi Gongyi... and other top Chinese biological scientists!"

"..."

"The Azure Dragon Supplement will be administered in batches!"

"Currently, the first priority groups for vaccination include patients with serious illnesses, medical personnel, military personnel..."

"It is expected that full coverage for all Chinese people will be achieved within two months!"

"..."

While official media reports were rampant, the grandfathers and grandmothers in the pandemic critical care center were officially released from their confidentiality agreements and returned home to begin their "normal" lives.

Consequently, many unbelievable videos were exposed on major social media platforms.

"An 88-year-old grandfather with cancer has completely recovered, carrying firewood down the mountain with the agility of a flying bird!"

"Two elderly village women got into a fight after bickering, the scene comparable to a martial arts drama!"

"..."

Looking at these latest reports and those outrageous videos circulating online, all netizens finally realized belatedly that the sky over China seemed to have changed again!

"Holy crap!!"

"A 70-year-old grandmother running 100 meters in 9.7 seconds??"

"An 80-year-old grandfather deadlifting 300 catties with a barbell???"

"How is this any different from Superman??"

"Chief Designer Lin, Professor Ai, how long has it been? How did you suddenly hold back such a big surprise for us again? I'm scared!"

"By the way, when will it be our turn!!"

"What??"

"The 18-25 age group is the ninth batch, which is the last batch, and we have to wait until at least the end of July??"

"Damn it!"

"Doesn't that mean our reputation as 'fragile college students' is well-deserved??"

...

Just as all of China was rejoicing over the Azure Dragon Supplement, countries across Blue Star were also undergoing earth-shaking changes under the ravages of the crazy laugh virus.

Japan. Tokyo. Many people were walking slowly on the streets like walking corpses. In the Shinkansen trains, although everyone was wearing masks, the occasional strange laughter and sudden full-body tremors made the whole scene appear particularly terrifying and bizarre.

No one wanted to do this, but because the work pressure in Tokyo was too high, for the sake of their families' livelihoods, employees were forced to go to work at their companies even if they knew they were infected with the crazy laughter disease.

District 1. Prime Minister's Office.

"Prime Minister Meima!"

"The crazy laugh virus has spread throughout Japan!"

"In the last week, there have been 32,652 new direct death cases and 54,221 related death cases!"

"The number of critical patients across the country has reached over 200,000!"

"The medical system is experiencing severe strain, and the medical security rationing mechanisms in various places have been completely broken!"

Minister of Health Harada said, sweating profusely and trembling.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

After hearing Harada's words, Prime Minister Meima rubbed his eyebrows.

He had long foreseen and accepted that Japan would be affected in this virus war. But what Prime Minister Meima never expected was, firstly, that the impact of the virus on China was far less than expected, and secondly, that Japan's losses far exceeded his expectations!

In just two short months, the number of death cases directly caused by the crazy laugh virus infection in Japan had actually exceeded 30,000!

Sometimes Prime Minister Meima couldn't help but wonder, is this virus attacking the Chinese or the Japanese? Did that laboratory in America get the gene bank wrong?

"Harada-kun, this is your duty."

After pondering for a long time, Prime Minister Meima said expressionlessly.

"I didn't ask you what to do, yet you are asking me instead?"

Harada bowed slightly, and upon hearing this, the sweat on his forehead began to bead up even faster. An RNA virus that attacks the central nervous system, similar only to prions in the past, with no vaccines or specific drugs at all—what else could be done? There was only one path: strengthen prevention and then leave it to fate!

Seeing that Harada did not speak, Prime Minister Meima waved his hand and said,

"If there is no way, go find a way. Do not dump the problem on me!"

"Hehe... get out!"

Harada stood there dumbfounded.

Seeing that Harada was still standing there like a pillar, Prime Minister Meima said, full of irritation,

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Harada looked up at Prime Minister Meima, his voice trembling.

"Prime Minister, you just laughed!"

Prime Minister Meima was stunned.

"What did you say?"

...

The next day, Prime Minister Meima fell ill and was sent to the hospital for treatment. To stabilize public sentiment, the Japanese officials did not make this matter public, but regardless, the objective fact that the Cabinet Office had lost its backbone caused the entire country of Japan to completely enter a state of chaos with no leader.

As a developed country in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan's performance was already considered good; the situation in other countries was even more serious than in Japan. For all countries mainly composed of yellow-skinned people, except for China, all economic activities had completely stalled due to this crazy laughter disease.

The performance of America and the Western Alliance countries was indeed slightly better, but not by much. The R2 variant that attacks white people only began to spread on Blue Star in early May, but the transmission rate was even more terrifying than the original strain. Countries in the Western Alliance such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France had already seen over 30,000 infections and more than 500 deaths in less than a month.

And America, as the leader of the Western Alliance, was leading by a mile, reporting terrifying data of 80,000 infections and over 3,000 deaths in a short period. In response, the Western Alliance media unified their rhetoric, trying to pin the blame for the crazy laughter disease on China, and even stigmatizing it as the "Jiangcheng Virus."

The public in various countries did accept this statement, but while furiously criticizing China, they were mostly scolding their own governments for their inaction. Faced with the surging pressure, Trump had no choice but to hold a press conference at the Black Palace in an attempt to appease the American public.

"This is China's conspiracy!"

"But the heroic American people will not be defeated by them!"

"Our American medical system is very advanced and can fully withstand this pandemic of the crazy laughter disease!"

Regarding pandemic prevention and control work, Trump, who entered politics as a businessman, could be said to know absolutely nothing and could only spout nonsense according to his own understanding.

"I have noticed recently!"

"Disinfectant seems to have a miraculous effect on the crazy laugh virus!"

"After spraying disinfectant, it can kill the crazy laugh virus within one minute. This is a great discovery, isn't it?!"

"So is there a possibility!"

"We could inject disinfectant into our bodies, or take disinfectant orally. Wouldn't that allow us to effectively prevent the crazy laughter disease?"

"I personally think this is very reasonable!"
