章 361: Prelude to France's Fight Against the Epidemic

Thirty minutes had passed since Peter Strauss, the Minister of Social Affairs and Health, left the Palace of Versailles. Napoleon remained in his office, immersed in research on the influenza virus. 

His eyes scanned through the user interface in front of him, searching for information that could help control the outbreak. Napoleon was determined to understand the disease and find a way to stop it. He occasionally paused to rub his chin, thinking deeply about the information he was reading. 

According to the articles, influenza is a viral infection that primarily attacks the respiratory system, and it is highly contagious. The virus originated from birds and other animals such as pigs, and over time, it has mutated and crossed over to infect humans. There are several different strains of the virus, and they can vary significantly, making it a complex and challenging enemy.
