In 2011, there was a movie in Hollywood. The cast was strong and the evaluation was not high. Most people felt that the film was too fragmented, and the director's multi-line narrative made the film lose its focus. During the Spring Festival of 2020, Chinese social networks began to flood the film with five-star praise. Some netizens commented: "I didn't understand what I liked in the film at first glance, but when I watched it again, it was already the person in the film." This is "Infectious Diseases". The opening of the film is the second day of the story, and then the whole film uses a red DAY X to guide the audience to pay attention to the progress of the event. At the end of the whole film, a very silent picture shows the beginning of the story. I think any Chinese who are trapped during the Spring Festival in 2020 can't help but feel fortunate when watching this movie. After all, we're just locked in our homes, a long way from the rapid deaths, food shortages, mass riots, burglaries and other social disorder in the film. A LOGO that often appears in the film is a clue of the director throughout the film: AIMM.
The deforestation by a multinational company eventually led to a global plague with a mortality rate of 25%, which may be God's punishment for mankind's overdraft of the earth over the years. Of course, human beings are great, and even God's transformation of nature is astounding. But for the earth, maybe humans are the virus, and the MEV-1 in the film is the antibody that the earth produces to deal with the human virus. The plague stopped when the earth's load was once again balanced. In 1918, just after the end of the second industrial revolution, a global H1N1 pandemic caused by the Spanish flu broke out, infecting 500 million people and killing 50 million to 100 million people. In my opinion, this is a spontaneous cleanup of the planet. WHO has been predicting when the next big outbreak like this might happen, maybe next year, maybe the year after, we don't know exactly when, but it will happen.
We only hear the ticking of the clock, but we never know what time it is
Day2
An American female guest, we now call her a super communicator, took a plane through Chicago and flew back to Minneapolis, the United States after eating, drinking and having fun in Hong Kong. On the same day, there were cases in Kowloon, Hong Kong, London, England, and Tokyo, Japan.
Day3
A reporter in San Francisco, USA, began to pay attention to the matter.
After the superspreader returned home, she and her son started showing symptoms.
Day4
The superspreader dies, her son dies.
Day5
According to WHO data, 2 deaths in Hong Kong, 10 suspected cases, 5 deaths in London, 3 deaths in Tokyo, and cases began to appear in Chicago, USA. There were deaths in Guangdong, and China began implementing SARS-era procedures, quarantining residential areas and checking for symptoms.
Day6
The CDC sent a researcher to Minneapolis to begin investigating the superspreader's death.
Husband of superspreader determined to be immune after being quarantined.
The virus samples were sent to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) level 4 laboratory. At this time, there are 87 cases in the United States and 15 deaths. Social networks began to speculate whether it was an army lab virus leak.
Day7
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security got involved. Three deaths in Chinese Macau casinos spark U.S. discussions about the possibility of biological warfare.
CDC researchers began screening close contacts of superspreaders in Minneapolis. The husband of the close contact was repeatedly questioned to assist in determining the source of the virus, and the close contact in Chicago was found. The genetic sequence of the virus was discovered in the CDC Tier 4 laboratory, and all research outside the Tier 4 laboratory was shut down.
Day8 The CDC in the United States began to answer reporters' questions. Five cities have announced cases, and the data is constantly increasing. There are currently 89,000 cases, and it is expected to increase to 278,000 cases. There is currently no vaccine or special medicine.
WHO began to send experts to Hong Kong to find the source of the virus.
Day12 The US CDC and WHO jointly announced that a level 3 laboratory in San Francisco had grown the native virus MEV-1, which began the first step in the development of a vaccine. At this time, the number of infected cases worldwide has exceeded 8 million.
The capital began to contact the Internet big V who has a huge influence in this epidemic, and jointly trade the stock market. The big V mentioned the therapeutic effect of forsythia many times in his blog.
Minneapolis began building a makeshift hospital in a gym to handle patients, and residents began to self-isolate. An investigation into the source of the virus in Hong Kong found the initial Japanese and British cases and super-spreaders were simultaneously present at a casino table in Macau. All three are related personnel of AIMM Group.
Day14
An investigator sent by the CDC to Minneapolis contracted the virus and was admitted to a local cabin hospital, unable to be transferred back to Atlanta, and the nurses union went on strike.
A congressman was infected in San Francisco, the two major airports in San Francisco were closed, the president was moved underground, the governor planned to set up roadblocks, suspend trade, and shut down public transportation, Congress began to work online, and the military began to block news.
WHO investigators sent to Hong Kong were kidnapped and sent to rural Hong Kong.

CDC officials privately notified families in Chicago to flee.
On Day 18, pharmacies began to restrict the sale of forsythia, the people began to riot, the world was full of smashing, smashing and looting, supermarkets were looted, no garbage was disposed of, roads were blocked, and everyone was trapped in place.
Investigators from the CDC died, and body bags were scarce. (By the way, the death of Kate Winslet's character made me feel that this film will be different from the usual Hollywood commercials)
People began to demonstrate, online big V and CDC officials confronted online, questioning the official's concealment and self-seeking behavior, and the CDC's credibility dropped to a low point.
Day21
The virus began to mutate and became more contagious, 1 in 12 people were infected, and the mortality rate was 25%-30%.
Global shutdown, shopping malls, gyms, office buildings, airports, empty.
Day26
The government started distributing food in parks every day, causing looting due to the limited quantities.
Various riots occurred in various places, large-scale absenteeism occurred in law enforcement departments, and burglary and murder occurred from time to time.
The death toll in the United States has reached 2.5 million, and martial law has been imposed in major urban areas across the country.
Day29
The vaccine was successfully developed in the CDC's fourth-level laboratory and put into human experiments. At this time, 26 million people worldwide have died from the virus.
Day131
The first batches of vaccines are being distributed, and everyone is trying to figure out how to get one. , The Internet big V who promoted forsythia was trapped by the Department of Homeland Security.

The United States begins a lottery to determine the first batch of vaccine recipients.
Day135

The end of the film is the beginning of the story
Day 1 A tree in Hong Kong was overturned by a bulldozer of AIMM company (remember the name of the company), and a bat was alerted. The bat flew to the pig cage with a fruit in its mouth. After the pig was eaten, the suckling pig was taken to a restaurant in Hong Kong. The chef of the restaurant stuffed the ingredients into the mouth of the suckling pig with his bare hands. After that, he was invited to meet the guests. The guests shook hands with the chef and took pictures.
Judging from the rhythm of this piece, it took 1 month for the virus to spread to humans until the first vaccine was developed.
From the first vaccine, to the launch of the vaccine to the first batch of audiences, it took half a year.
And for Earth, a vaccine may just be another balance.
