antibiotics will be completely ineffective against this funguslike. the extremely contagious disease and its victims will be quarantined
until it's discovered that the bacteria can be destroyed through some
combination of electrical currents and extreme heat
In
around 2020 a severe pneumonialike illness will spread throughout the
globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all
known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will
be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived,
attack again later. years later, and then disappear completely.

It was around then that a Chinese scientist
To understand defected to the United States, carrying a skette record of
China's most important and dangerous new biological weapon in a
decade. They call the stuff Wuhan-400' because it was developed at
their RDNA labs outside of the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at
that research center.
"Wuhan-400
is a perfect weapon. It afflicts only human beings. No other living
creature can carry it. And like syphilis, Wuhan-400 can't survive
outside a living human body for longer than a minute, which means it
can't permanently contaminate objects or entire places the way
anthrax and other virulent microorganisms can. And when the host
expires, the Wuhan-400 within him perishes a short while later, as
soon as the temperature of the corpse drops below eighty-six degrees
Fahrenheit. Do you see the advantage of all this?”
Tina
was too busy with Danny to think about what Carl Dombey had said, but
Elliot knew what the scientist meant. "If I understand you, the
Chinese could use Wuhan-400 to wipe out a city or a country, and then
there wouldn't be any need for them to conduct tricky and expensive
decontamination before they moved in and took over the conquered
territory."
"Exactly,"
Dombey said. “And Wuhan-400 has other, equally important advantages
over most biological agents.
