Dr.Blanc turned and motioned for Lily to cforward.He tapped on his keyboard, and a few data lines appeared on the monitor.
Lily squinted her eyes and studied them.
"with your background in traditional herbs, we hope you can give a different insight and work with us to find a way to tackle this
virus," Dr.Blanc said.
"Can | have a look at the earlier research data?" Lily added after pondering.
"Especially those on the virus."
"We don't fully understand the virus," Dr.Blanc replied with a sigh.
"Since it hasn't spread domestically and we've kept it under control, we have minimal samples to study.We don't have a proper
reference value."
"Why?"
Lily frowned in confusion.

‘why would there be no reference value if they managed to get a hand on a virus sample, even if it wasn’t from the main
transmission chain?’ "The thing is, our recent research has found that the virus mutates and evolves very quickly, but because the
samples we took are from the end of a transmission chain, the virus is relatively weak and sensitive.
"We're worried that even if we found a way to fight against this virus variation, it won't work when we face a stronger variation."
After a pause, Dr.Blanc turned to look at her and continued, "This is why we hope to incorporate modern medicine and traditional
herbs. Traditional herbs don't look at the appearance or characteristics of a virus.
"Instead, it is more focused on the body's response and one's autoimmunity.I'm not well-versed in traditional herbs, so correctif
I'm wrong."
He smiled.
Lily nodded.
‘He's right"
Traditional herbs differed from pills made in a laboratory.
Doctors created modern medicine to work with different organs, such as the blood vessels, and how they interacted with a virus.
On the other hand, traditional herbs healed one’s body in a way the naked eye could not observe.
It took a lot of work to understand how traditional herbs worked.
In addition to that, the result of taking traditional herbs took time, and the preparation was challenging.
One must pay attention to how the herbs slowly simmered over low heat.
Patients who did not see an immediate recovery would think traditional herbs were bogus.
Of course, sscammers used traditional herbs to deceive people, which in turn, caused people to lose confidence in traditional
practices.
Over time, because modern medicine was convenient and showed immediate effects, traditional herbs cto be overlooked or
looked down upon.
"Do you have any infected patients under your watch?"
Lily turned to ask after reading through the data carefully.
Dr.Blanc fell silent as he seemed to be thinking.
A few seconds later, he raised his head and exclaimed, "Yes, we do!"

Standing off to the side, Dr.Morris seemed anxious as he stepped in to try and stop him.
"Dr.Blanc..."
However, Dr.Blanc waved him off and looked at Lily.
"I'll take you to the patient."
Lily followed him out of the office while Dr.Morris followed closely behind.
Although he seemed reluctant, Lily did not think much about it.
This plague was unusual.
The contagion and transmission mode of the virus was still unknown.
Since no one understood the virus well, there was no public news in the country.
With limited reports going around, no one knew much about it.
Of course, the fewer people knew about it, the better.
It was understandable that Dr.Morris had his scruples over this.
