228. Minions of the Red Death
Jiang Han looked in the mirror and said to me worriedly: "Sanqing, we won't be like Haoyu." I was silent. At this time, I didn't know what to say. It's winter now, and there is an old tree outside, but the trunk is bare and there is no vitality.
I feel that Jiang Han and I are now like the old tree outside, but in spring, the old tree can still grow new buds, and we both don’t know if we can live until spring.
"It's okay, we have to believe in the doctor, and the doctor will definitely have a solution." I squeezed out a smile, and then comforted Jiang Han, "Sanqing, do you think Haoyu is out of danger now?" Jiang Han raised his head and looked at me.
"He is so serious, it shouldn't be so fast." I thought about it and said. Seeing me saying this, Jiang Han didn't say anything else. She lay on the bed again and began to look at the ceiling.
I also took out my cell phone and started to watch the news. To be honest, I didn’t have this habit before, but in order to know if this disease occurs in other places, I can only watch the news every day.
Today's news reported a new type of disease, because at the beginning, a scarlet rash will appear. When the rash occurs, the rash will break and blood will be sprayed out. If the rescue is not prompt, the patient will easily die in a short time, so experts have designated this disease as a red death disease.
This disease began to break out by Wu You. Hundreds of people were sent to the hospital for isolation due to this disease. More than a dozen people were killed by the disease because they did not receive timely rescue.
The terrible thing about the Red Death is that it is difficult to diagnose, and there is also an asymptomatic incubation period. Experts have not yet given a reply to the specific incubation period, but doctors have developed diagnostic reagents.
Through this diagnostic reagent, it can detect whether the scarlet virus is present in the blood. In general, people with the Red Death may have their body temperature rise and symptoms such as coughing may appear.
Now the superiors have decided whether to close Wu You. After reading this news, I called Wei Huaiqi: "Huiqi, have you read the news?" "What news, are you talking about the Red Death disease?" Wei Huaiqi suddenly said.
"That's right, Jiang Han and I may have had the Red Death disease. We are still under observation in the hospital. Moreover, Jiang Han has symptoms, so I probably can't escape. You guys try not to go out these days, no, maybe for several months." I said seriously.
"Okay, I'll talk to Uncle Gu later and tell him not to put people in Jiajia Building anymore." "Then let's do it, hang up first." After that, I hung up the phone.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Ke Wenhua walked in fully armedly. He took our temperature as usual, and then asked about our condition. When he learned that there was a red rash on Jiang Han's face, he couldn't help but frown.
"We have now confirmed that as long as this rash occurs, as short as a few hours or as long as a few days, acute symptoms will occur, respiratory failure, and the rash burst and blood will burst. We call this condition a sign of red death." Ke Wenhua suddenly said.
"Doctor Ke, how is Haoyu now?" Jiang Han raised his head and looked at Ke Wenhua. Ke Wenhua shook his head: "Miss Jiang, you must be mentally prepared. Jiang Haoyu has a serious infection in both lungs and may not last long."
"What, Haoyu is not good at all?" Jiang Han said with wide eyes. Ke Wenhua was silent, and then said to Jiang Han: "Miss Jiang, I think you should be worried about your situation first. I will ask someone to shoot you a lung film."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Han's face showed a sad look. What else Ke Wenhua wanted to say, but I stopped him: "Doctor Ke, have you found out the source of this virus?"
"Not yet, but the first group of people who got these diseases have all been to Wu You's West China Seafood Market, so the suspect that the source of the disease may have come from there and is now under investigation." Ke Wenhua said to me.
"Seafood market? This virus comes from seafood, it's unlikely." I asked in confusion, "That seafood market not only sells seafood, but I don't want to disclose the specific details. You will also follow Ms. Jiang to shoot a movie later. I will let the nurse take you there at that time." Ke Wenhua left after saying that.
The door of the ward was closed, and the room suddenly became silent. After just a few minutes, a low sob suddenly came from the ward. I didn't have to look at it and it was Jiang Han crying in a low voice.
Seeing Jiang Han like this, I felt a little distressed, but Zhu You was useless at all in the disease caused by this virus. At most, it would allow the sick people to live for a few more days, but what is the use of this?
After thinking about it, I walked off the hospital bed and came to Jiang Han's bed. Since we were both infected, I could not worry about it and hugged Jiang Han directly.
Although I can't treat the disease, I can still give Jiang Han a broad chest so that she can have someone to rely on when she is sad and despair. Jiang Han threw herself into my arms and finally couldn't help it and began to cry loudly.
This cry makes me feel a little sad and helpless. Everyone is equal in the face of disease, no matter whether it is poor or rich, or what your identity is, as long as you are in contact, you may be infected.
In the doctor's office not far from us, several doctors were quarreling about the Red Death disease. Now the source of the disease has not been found, and there is no precedent to follow no matter how to treat it, so they gave up.
"Absurd! How can we retreat at this time? As long as we put on this white dress for a day, we must stick to this position. If anyone raises this topic again, they will simply not be able to go to work in the future." Director Ke said sternly.
With Ke Wenhua's roar, the office suddenly became quiet. After a while, someone spoke: "Director, the number of patients is increasing, but what should we do if there are not enough beds?" A little doctor asked tremblingly.
"If the extra bed is really not possible, we will convert all the rooms that can be vacated in our office and the hospital into wards. We cannot let the patients see the disease. I will apply to the hospital to see if I can borrow the wards of other departments." Ke Wenhua made his decision.
After hearing Ke Wenhua's words, the young doctor frowned and asked, "Director, change the office to a ward, where will we work?" "In special times, patients are the main ones, and we can all work in the corridor. By the way, don't contact our family members recently, remember them all!" Ke Wenhua said seriously.
"You all have family members, so you call the family and say that you can't go home during this period. You must first report them to safety, and then tell them to go out as little as possible and take good care of themselves. I don't need to teach you the rest. If there is any problem, the meeting will be broken if there is no problem." Ke Wenhua said and glanced around.
No one said anything else. Ke Wenhua nodded and walked out of the office. As soon as Ke Wenhua left, the other doctors started to talk, but just after they talked for a few words, Ke Wenhua pushed the door and came back.
They came with Ke Wenhua and colleagues from the epidemic prevention department. They were all wearing thick protective clothing. "I'll introduce you to me. This is a colleague from the epidemic prevention department. I'll support us and cooperate well with others. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Ke Wenhua said and left.
The people from the epidemic prevention department came to support it? The doctors in the room couldn't help but be stunned, but they quickly reacted and took their colleagues from the epidemic prevention department to get familiar with the work here.
With the increase of patients, they are indeed too short of manpower. Now there are people from the epidemic prevention department coming to help, which is undoubtedly a timely help. Just when the people from the epidemic prevention department were familiar with the work, colleagues from other departments soon came to help.
For a time, the small infectious disease department ward was full of angels in white wearing protective clothing. Due to the special circumstances, the route of virus transmission was not completely determined, so everyone must be fully armed.
If a set of protective clothing is worn, it cannot be taken off easily. If the protective clothing is taken off, the protective clothing will be scrapped. The cost of each protective clothing is very high, so they can only try not to drink water to avoid having to take off the protective clothing because they have to go to the toilet.
After two consecutive days of work, all the medical staff were busy and constantly checking on newly admitted patients. In the ward, I could only browse the news bored every day.
It was originally a ward with two people, and there were two more beds stuffed, as well as two little girls who were about the same age as us.
Both of these girls have been diagnosed with the Red Death disease, but the situation is relatively mild for the time being. After chatting with them, I found out that they are also college students.
The taller girl is named Li Shuang, a student from the Finance Department of Taihua University, and the short-haired girl is named Pang Xuefei, a student from the English Department of Taihua University. The two of them are considered best friends.
As soon as they entered the ward, the two of them had a relatively good mentality. They might not realize the severity of the disease, so they both played with their mobile phones and didn't care much about it.
After a few days like this, the news about the Red Death disease was already overwhelming, but experts have already made suggestions.
Because this disease can be transmitted through the respiratory tract, experts recommend that the public go out less and wear masks when going out to avoid going to crowded places.
But the Chinese New Year is coming, and many people have to take the train home. I am afraid that the Red Death disease will be spread widely. Although the news reports are overwhelming, some elderly people still don’t care.
It was soon twenty-nine, and many people who came back from other places to celebrate the New Year happily returned to their hometowns, preparing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
And where these people cannot see, the Red Death disease is like a devil, snorting towards them step by step. With the ringing of the New Year bell, hundreds of people did not escape the Red Death magic claws.
