"Don't worry, I've got the academic side covered."

"Oh, I understand now."

Zhou Mo Sen had pretty much figured out what was going on.

The UCLA Medical Center had discovered that special patient.

It was the Mexican laborer who got infected with the flu.

Of course, the process sounds pretty straightforward now, but at the beginning, it was really chaotic.

Don't assume that big hospitals are always right, as Zhou Mo Sen had mentioned before.

The United States has a misdiagnosis rate of about 50%.

So, at the start, UCLA misdiagnosed this patient.

But, this wasn't much of a big issue.

Because the patient, for certain purposes, also concealed his condition.

Well, the purpose was actually quite simple, which was they were very afraid of being deported.

People who come over, before obtaining legal status, are generally most afraid of the issue of being deported.

So, there is a group of people who are quite adept at taking advantage of this to deceive them.

These people naturally come from the mysterious Great White Elephant in the East, the Ah-Sans.

Not only do Ah-Sans love to talk, but they also love phone scams.

Regardless of Ah-San's hobbies, because of this situation, UCLA had ample reasons even though they made a misdiagnosis.

We American doctors misdiagnose, and it's always the patient's fault!

This is definitely an unspoken rule in the American medical community; only a fool would truly admit they misdiagnosed.

But, this is an infectious disease.

Yes, you could simply call it a cold.

But it's not just any cold.

Yet in reality, it is indeed a cold.

Some people might get confused.

But this is exactly how it is.

Believe it or not, many ordinary people don't know a certain fact.

And that is: A cold is actually a terminal illness.

This isn't Zhou Mo Sen speaking nonsense; although he's a general surgery doctor, not in infectious diseases, he is absolutely confident in saying so.

Because it really is a terminal illness.

Talking about the common cold, it should start from the top.

That is when humanity first discovered this illness...

Many people are still unaware of a crucial question.

How exactly did World War I end?

When this question arises, there will undoubtedly be multiple answers.

Those who understand history will talk about it from a historical perspective.

Those who understand finance will speak from a financial angle.

They'd bring in things like the Rothschild Family and such.

But, the truth can also be discussed from a medical viewpoint.

The answer is very simple.

Because back then, a lot of people on this planet caught a cold.

The initial cold was discovered in a military camp in Texas.

But at that time, it was humanity's first encounter with this disease and they didn't really understand it.

So it wasn't taken seriously, even though the American soldiers suffering from it had severe symptoms at the time.

Yet they still sent these soldiers out.

It was right at the end of World War I.

But you have to understand one thing.

The definition of 'end' is one we gave it in hindsight.

At that time, no one thought the war was coming to a close.

And these American soldiers were sent to Europe, shouting for Lafayette (Lafayette, the true founding father of the United States, also the 'Old Buddha' of the later Lafayette department store, but the name of the department store came from the street, which was named after the French general.)

Shortly after these soldiers disembarked, a 'plague' swept across all of Europe!

No one had ever seen this disease before, and people couldn't understand why soldiers lost their combat effectiveness one by one, or even died just like that.

This kind of non-combat attrition made nearly all warring countries lose the desire to continue fighting.

So, simply put, they signed an armistice agreement.

In fact, if you truly understand history, if you really look into the details, you will surely understand.

This is the true historical fact that World War I ended because of this disease.

And this 'plague' was later named.

The Spanish Flu!

That's right, it must be called this name.

We Americans definitely won't take the blame for this!

Even if it has been clarified that the origin was a military camp in Texas.

But Spain, you carry that blame well!

Back then, considering that America was an ally, Spain couldn't shake it off.

Why did you have to be the first to break out with it!

If you had kept it to yourselves, it would have been someone else's problem.

Enough about passing the buck.

Let's take a look at the truth.

In reality, this whole thing should be talked about from the Age of Exploration.

Simply put, before humans discovered America, human society didn't have many diseases.

Like syphilis, and many others...

There are historical records of this.

And historians refer to these as... the Curse of the Indians upon the White Men!

The Indians had strong resistance to syphilis, to them it was nothing.

So how did those white people get it, and do such disgusting things, that's simply evidence.

And back to the issue of the common cold.

The only virus in human history to be eradicated.

It took the help of cattle to conquer it.

In fact, every year a large amount of funding is invested in research on the common cold.

But the results remain rather disheartening.

The main issue is that this thing keeps mutating.

Actually, the technology grasped by humanity is indeed very advanced.

We've even discovered many root causes.

Yet they still can't keep up with its mutations.

Sometimes, when you think about it carefully, it's indeed quite despairing.

However, there is still hope.

Because humanity continues to uphold civilization.

Of course, our research isn't without results.

Things like vaccines exist.

They do have effects.

But truly overcoming the cold virus, we still have a long way to go.

Zhou Mo Sen isn't particularly professional in these aspects, he only knows.

Fortunately, he has a lot of information about the future.

This might help him, or it might not.

Because this information about that guy...

What kind of person Fauci really is.

This is indeed a very difficult subject for Zhou Mo Sen.

Future information shows that this person... definitely isn't simple.

Zhou Mo Sen now has a task from Professor Hansen, and he feels that this task.

Might be tough, but could also be easy.

Anyway, he's the UCLA general surgery doctor sent out to collaborate with the Infectious Disease Department and Fauci.

So, the situation in the future...

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, why are you here?"

"I've been watching you, noticed you're quite absent-minded."

"Watching me the whole time? Thinking about rekindling an old flame?"

Zhou Mo Sen's words had a bit of a sting, as standing in front of him was the petite Sidney.

As an ex-girlfriend, hearing this kind of talk really is...

"What? Shouldn't I?"

Ah?

This unexpected answer left Zhou Mo Sen in an awkward position.
