Epidemiology to Science

Prologue: Doctor New Zealand

The thought of disease these days in advanced countries like Japan, England, Russia, America and many more is sadly not that big of a problem.Everyone in these countries have a self conscious that automatically reminds them that in our countries we have the drugs and equipment to stop most of the diseases that can threaten lives. The doctors and scientists are extremely smart. They also have this self conscious as bystanders.

I sometimes ask myself, do any of them think that all of this new technology may not work after a matter of years. Bacteria is always evolving and expanding. Getting stronger and deadlier. One day these "Bacteria Proof" barriers will be broken. The thoughts of the technology may not work in the future may sound unbelievable to some people. The unbelievable thing is that they are not thinking deeply about the facts.

Calling myself different is something that I do not want to think. I am no bystander, I just think about the facts. Nothing can be forever. If I would have to classify myself I would like to say I am only a Joker. The card that can never be used in a deck. More like the odd man out. People just walk by without giving a damn about the wise man. 2022, this year saw some advancements in disease prevention technology. A new lead in making a long awaited cure for cancer is on it's way to be tested. Africa's HIV infected rate has lowered by 37% in the last year. The Ebola virus has been controlled. Airliners have new air filters that can prevent more air borne bacteria from getting on airliners.

Last year's incident may have been the worst disease related disaster in the 2020's. An attack performed by an unnamed terrorist group from the Middle East did an attack in a Indian airport. A biochemical weapon was deployed on the airport security line. The weapon was invisible. An evacuation was initiated when twenty four civilians and three guards fell dead.

After the evacuation everyone in the airport was checked for any instances of the disease. In total 35 civilians and three security guards fell dead to the weapon. Two hundred were sick for weeks. The attack was one of the largest terrorist attacks by the group putting them on the CIA watchlist. The group leader has been caught and a hot pursuit has been going on for months.

The weapon had a variation of the Spanish Flu that was 75% less contagious than the actual Flu. Anyone who was a few yards away from the bomb would catch on to it. It will spread within minutes throughout the entire security line. If the people did no one instantly fall dead more people would have died. The sad part was the more than half of the deceased were under than twelve years old.

For months there was fear of more attacks in more populated areas. Everyone thought there will be another attack. I only shoved my hands into my pockets and kept on walking. I walked without thinking about another attack. I was thinking about how will the next episode of a show I was watching will be released. Wondering if Firefly will get a reboot, which is now really unlikely.

I sigh as I get on the blog website that I have been using ever since middle school. I really do not care about damn terrorists, what I care about is Biology, String Theory, Television shows, Anime, and when the next disease outbreak will happen. As I click to the new entries by the few people I follow I wonder if Doctor New Zealand has posted anything.

Doctor Campbell is his real name. He is a medical chief in a New Zealand hospital. He is currently posting blogs about some strange disease in his country that is not globally known. It has the systems of an everyday cold, sneezing, running nose, and tiredness. The strangest part about the disease is that the infected people see strange delusions.

The delusions contain various ways it could go out. Sometimes they see dead family members talking to them. Sometimes they think about someone they have seen die or get murdered in front of their eyes. And rarely they see future predictions. About 9,000 have contacted this disease in New Zealand. No leads or global attention in research to find out what this is. There are photos and various proof that this doctor has to show that the disease exists.
