190 Smallpox Crisis (M)
After laboratory tests, the Spanish sailor was carrying the smallpox virus, which has the highest lethal rate, and he himself had begun to have a rash all over his body and had suppurated on the third day after he was admitted to the hospital, and the appearance of ulceration all over his body was really terrifying. Immediately afterward, a number of people who had contact with the sailor also became ill, including two nurses and a doctor. There were only two or three of the sailors who were on the same boatload as the sailor, and apparently some of them had had smallpox and survived and developed antibodies.
Fortunately, because the Datang Republic has 200 years of advanced experience in fighting virulent infectious diseases and has a complete set of emergency plans, the whole country took measures at the first moment of the virus outbreak. All the places that the first patient had been exposed to were closed, and people who had been in contact with these places were also screened, and street workers wearing masks and gloves wrapped tightly in the streets and alleys carried canisters that were originally designed to spray pesticides and sprayed disinfectant everywhere.
For example, modern people have basically experienced infectious diseases such as SARS and avian flu, and at that time, the country's propaganda was relatively in place, and they basically knew a little about epidemic prevention. The modern and republican congregations, as well as the Indians and the new immigrants, were slightly worse, but after the outbreak of the epidemic, the pamphlets on how to maintain hygiene and prevent infection began to be distributed on a large scale, and the pamphlets were all illiterate, considering that some people might not be literate.
"There are more than 30 infected people." Bai Nam's new report is worried. Although his wife and children are fine, he is a state official, and such a terrible epidemic itself is something to worry about. Once the epidemic inevitably spreads, the devastation of the new country is terrifying.
Liu Tiandao: "Fortunately, the infected people have been isolated by us, we can be regarded as pinching the source of the spread of the virus, as long as we survive this period and our vaccinia vaccine is also done, we will have nothing to fear about smallpox in the future." ”
While the two were talking, an office clerk came in wearing a mask. Start spraying disinfectant everywhere. Now the office and other places where people are more concentrated, are disinfected every day, and even everyone has to measure their body temperature every day, once there are symptoms of fever and cold, regardless of whether it is smallpox or not, they must be isolated and observed.
Bai Nan finished his work for the day and prepared to drive downstairs and drive home. He is now not even allowed to go to the big Hollywood mansion, and the epidemic is mainly in the Long Beach and Los Angeles urban areas. So in order to avoid any potential chance for the virus to spread, even from Los Angeles to neighboring towns is not allowed. Maybe this kind of order is overkill, but now the first priority of the whole country is epidemic prevention, so it must be followed.
The pain is that Meora is back in Hollywood, after a doctor's examination, she is not infected with the virus, and she can't come to Los Angeles after the lockdown, so Bai Nan is still alone.
Bai Nan, who got off work, felt even more lonely. Usually when he came home, his beautiful wife would hold his daughter, and the little wife, oh no, it was Meola, who lived in their house, who had already cooked a table of meals. The family talked and laughed, teased the baby, and had dinner on the radio. Happiness knows no bounds.
But now, Bai Nan can't go back to his house, he can only go to the bachelor apartment he was originally assigned to. At present, the units are basically after the workers buy a house, they need to return the allocated housing to the unit, and the unit will issue a housing subsidy to the employees, and Bai Nam does not lack that subsidy money. Because sometimes I can't go back to Hollywood during my lunch break or something, I simply stay here in Los Angeles.
Feeling a little hungry, Bai Nan couldn't eat at home, so he could only go to the cafeteria. As a result, a sign was lit outside the door of the canteen: Due to the impression of the epidemic, the canteen obeyed the arrangement of the Municipal Special Epidemic Prevention Office, and the use of the canteen is now suspended. Remind all comrades to wash their hands before eating.
The canteen itself is free of charge, only a small number of better dishes, you need to buy them with a meal ticket, and you don't need to pay for a few dishes you eat normally. Bai Nan came to the foyer at the back of the cafeteria and found that the lunch box was placed on the table and stacked in a pile. There are quite a few people who come to eat, and the image today is very uniform, everyone is wearing masks, and some people are wearing gloves.
Queuing for dinner is a good habit that everyone has long developed, but now everyone deliberately keeps a lot of distance, at least three or four meters between them, originally in the canteen, in order to grab good dishes, sometimes it will be a little crowded. Now there is the same thing in every boxed lunch, one meat, one vegetarian and one pound of rice, and there is no point in grabbing it. And it's all going to be together, and it's quite dangerous.
Bai Nan also followed the scattered team and got dinner for a while. Driving to the apartment dormitory with food, it was only a few steps away, so it was very fast. The loudspeaker outside the apartment was playing the hygiene and epidemic prevention notice, there were such things everywhere in the past two days, and Bai Nan had no doubt that some people might be able to memorize it backwards.
Entering the apartment had become a slight hassle, as the doorman was dressed in a light blue hazmat suit, and only the janitor's hat on his head could identify him. Everyone who wants to enter the apartment building has to have their temperature checked before they are allowed in. Even if the doorman knew what Bai Nan's identity was, he would let him test it.
The first thing I did when I got home was not to eat, but to make a phone call, and when the phone came into the municipal hospital, I immediately asked Xu Xin: "Honey, how are you today, are you okay?" ”
"Well, it's all pretty good, it's just a little stuffy, the baby doesn't have toys to play, it's not honest when she's awake, but she sleeps after playing for a while, she just sleeps a lot. But is your work going well, I don't know what the situation is in the hospital, is it serious this time? ”
Bai Nandao: "It's basically under control, I didn't hear anyone suddenly fell ill today, but I didn't let this disease spread explosively, otherwise it would be really troublesome." ”
Xu Xin said: "That's good, I hope this matter can end soon." ”
Bai Nandao: "The development of cowpox is going well, and it shouldn't be long before we get a large number of vaccines, and then everyone can at least breathe a sigh of relief." In fact, although the original patient was covered with severe pus, he was treated with supportive care and antibiotics to prevent other bacterial infections, and he would not die. Other patients were also detected earlier, and as long as there is no fulminance, it should not be fatal. ”
It's just that Bai Nan's assertion is a little early. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
