Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553: The Virus Rampages Across the World_1

Chapter 1553

This is the butterfly effect. The chain reactions caused by the rampant virus have now appeared one by one.

There are fewer and fewer countries in the world that are not affected by this.

Similar patients have appeared in other countries.

Some countries that are temporarily secure have closed their borders, allowing exit but banning entry with strict control.

The situation in Grearon is not much better either.

Although many people have been vaccinated with the vaccine from White Enterprises Pharmaceuticals, and the patients in Norville have taken a special medication.

But now, many local hospitals have also started seeing different numbers of similar patients.

Even though they are immediately treated and isolated after discovery, it still causes panic.

News stories report that during this special period, people won’t go out unless it’s necessary.

Especially after eight in the evening, the streets are quiet, and it’s rare to see anyone.

Everyone is afraid of becoming the next patient, and they are unwilling to risk their lives for a few dollars.

With people unable to work and live comfortably, the economy will inevitably stagnate. Nowadays, the news continuously reports on companies that can’t hold on and have subsequently closed down.

As companies close down, the number of unemployed people increases. When people have no money in their pockets, there is no way to stimulate consumption and drive the economy, causing a rapid decline in the overall environment.

The development of the Fosters and Carrington Enterprise has also been greatly affected as a result.

Many projects have been forced to halt temporarily.

Fortunately, both have large businesses and solid foundations, so these issues can’t shake their foundation. However, it’s unlikely that there will be any significant development in the short term.

In a smaller context, due to the situation, Chloe Collins’ life is fraught with limitations.

She is pregnant and always being watched by her family, not allowed to leave the house indiscriminately.

Like right now, it’s already ten in the morning, but she can only conduct video meetings at home.

The video meetings were unanimously approved by Carrington’s top brass. They are also afraid to die and don’t want to go out.

Fortunately, everything can be clarified in the video.

After the meeting, Evelyn Thompson handed over a plate of peeled grapes, saying, "You must be tired. Have some fruit."

Chloe Collins replied, "Mmm, I still have some paperwork to deal with, Mom, you don’t have to watch me."

"If I don’t watch you, you’ll surely go out, won’t you?" Evelyn Thompson said, her eyes kind, though slightly nagging.

"Chlo-Chlo, listen to your mother. The situation outside is very chaotic. If anything happens to you, what are we to do? Right?"

She is particularly worried about Chloe Collins’ health since she has experienced Robert Foster’s accident before. Thus, before any foreseeable danger arises, she won’t allow her child to get involved.

"By the way, the situation in Morisia is terrible. Even Cherry, who is still studying for her master’s, had no choice but to return home temporarily. You can see how bad things are."

"I don’t even want Alex or Cain to step out, but they’re men and have to work, so it’s inevitable. You’re pregnant, so you have to be incredibly careful, listen to your mother, okay?"

Chloe Collins smiled, "It’s alright. Don’t worry."

Having said that, Chloe Collins walked upstairs.

Evelyn Thompson sighed, still feeling profoundly worried.

In the study room, Chloe Collins continued the meeting.

This time, it was with Albert Green’s team.

In the video, Albert Green jokingly commented, "Look at you after having a child. Your complexion has become so much rosier and you’ve gained some weight - perfect. Being too thin isn’t good looking."

Chloe Collins stared at her face, looking left and then right, but didn’t notice any difference.
