The Method of Mind-Strengthening formulated by Stairmount to fight the Sierra Pathogen becomes the center of everyone's attention in an instant. After all, it's a real anti-mainstream method that has never been used against any kind of pathogens. The ways to overcome the pathogens are usually by wearing a mask, maintaining a certain distance from others, washing hands regularly, avoiding the crowds, not using eating utensils or clothes of the people infected by the pathogens, and so on. But this one, it is the first time for them to hear it. Actually, if it weren't Stairmount who said it, they would definitely reject it straight away. In fact, far more scientists are skeptical of him, but they are forced to listen anyway, because they can't think of any other more effective ways. And more. Stairmount is the creator of Sierra Pathogen. Can they understand the pathogen better than the creator himself?
"Sierra Pathogen uses blood samples, or anything related to DNA and RNA, to identify its victims, it makes all methods to anticipate pathogens that we know so far are mostly not applicable, let alone the method of quarantine. Although that method is useful for most of the pathogens, but in fact, it is the most wrong way to fight against Sierra Pathogen. The way how Sierra Pathogen works is to cause death by attacking the brain first and then across all nervous systems and hormonal systems - in this way, the gangrene * can be created rapidly in the whole body. We see, Sierra Pathogen is indeed related to the nerves for most. And thus, this is how The Method of Mind-Strengthening works. We have to strengthen the minds of all people, whether they are getting infected or not. The way is; To spread joy, peace, serenity, happiness, and other positive energies to all people. On the other hand, we must obscure the power of negative energy. Don't let people be afraid, confused, anxious, frustrated, or even depressed. Because those negative emotions make people vulnerable to being killed by Sierra Pathogen. For a certain period, people should not be tired of working. The government should give counseling to the people so they don't get bothered by any kind of problems, whether it comes to the problems of work, career, school, romance, and so on. The government should even allow them to relax and live more happily, so that their minds can become stronger in the fight against Sierra Pathogen until it diminishes entirely."
* ) Gangrene: Gangrene can develop when the supply of blood to an area of your body is interrupted. Without treatment, the affected tissue will start to die. When this happens, the area changes color from red to brown to purple or black, before shriveling up and falling away from the surrounding healthy tissue. (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gangrene/)

"This is the first time I've heard of such a way of fighting against pathogen..." Ms. Liquor whispers in disbelief.
"Many have reported that numerous people have never got the anti-pathogen injection when facing Fuxa Pathogen, and they even walk around in crowded places and often eat surrounded by many people without wearing mask, but they've never even been infected by Fuxa anyway. Meanwhile, those who follow health protocols obediently, get the injection of anti-pathogens and even the specific anti-pathogen, but still, they get infected by Fuxa. Not that I'm saying that health protocols or anti-pathogens are wrong and useless, all of them are useful and give us very good protection from being infected by pathogens - but only apply to ordinary pathogens. The Sierra Pathogen we are talking about is completely different from the other types. So, it seems that we have to find another method that is different from usual. And, any research focusing on the human brain and mind, especially related to the way of handling the Fuxa Pathogen without using anti-pathogen, in this case, it is necessary for us to study further - and even, to use it."
"Mr. Rivers, if that's the case, then we also have to prevent the news about the Sierra Pathogen from being exposed by the mass media? For fear of being blown up?" The Minister of Health asks.
Stairmount turns silent, thinking for a moment.
"I think, that's a bad idea," Finally he makes a conclusion. "After all, Jupiter knows that Sierra Pathogen has been spreading across Saturn, it is them who spread it anyway. You conceal the news, then Jupiter will uncover it - even crazier, they'll blow it up all over the Planet while humiliating you as the country that tends to keep important information hidden from the public."
Everyone growls furiously.
"In my opinion, don't keep it hidden. Just open it publicly. But we're not going to announce this news carelessly." Stairmount utters firmly. "We will announce, it is true that Sierra Pathogen has been spread across Saturn. However, we also have found a way to solve it, an exceedingly effective way. Because it originates from the most prominent pathogen expert on this Planet."
"And the expert is you, Mr. Rivers?" Mr. Pool asks. "You will reappear in the news channel, like you have done before in explaining about Ramscal Pathogen?"
