The day after Sun Feng and his entourage returned to Huaxia smoothly, the Chinese authorities officially announced that the country had entered an emergency epidemic prevention and control moment.

Major news outlets began to disclose information about the epidemic layer by layer.

The expert group led by Zhou Taishan began to be stationed in Wuhan, where the outbreak was most severe.

......

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, there are still four days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chen Gong is checking the preparation of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the company's restaurant, which is already the last one, and he has now opened three restaurants and several chain fast food restaurants in Beijing, which is considered a successful career.

"Mr. Chen, this year, our Yuexing Chinese New Year's Eve dinner reservation has exceeded fifty tables, it should no longer be at the bottom." ”

Manager Duan, who is in charge of Yuexing Hotel, said with a smile that she has been following Chen Gong for ten years, and finally came to the position of manager from an ordinary waiter.

"Well, Xiao Duan, although it's not the bottom, but you still have to work hard, Taixing's side has already broken through eighty tables. ”

Chen Gong replied with a smile.

Manager Duan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will continue to work hard!"

Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, which is also the busiest and most profitable time for the hotel, Chen Gong certainly does not dare to relax, he has been busy these days, and if he wants to get ahead in Beijing, a fast-paced city, hard work is the most important.

After personally checking the preparation of the menu, Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction, and it was time for him to go home for dinner, his wife and children were still waiting, thinking of his family, he couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face.

Now he has a successful career and a happy family, not to mention that he is at the peak of his life, but he is also rising steadily.

The wind and rain are smooth, the country is safe, the family is well-off, and the body is healthy.

At this point in life, what more can a husband ask for?

Chen Gong, who was in a good mood, turned on the radio casually, wanting to listen to music to relieve boredom, after all, the traffic jam in Beijing can really make people's mentality collapse.

"It is reported that the two fever patients with a history of travel to Wuhan received by Beijing Daxing Medical Institution have been confirmed as cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia.

At present, Beijing has actively carried out the prevention and treatment of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, and the general public is requested to pay attention to hygiene and do a good job of personal prevention ......"

The magnetic bass on the radio was broadcast in an orderly manner, and Chen Gong's face was a little solemn after listening to the news.

"What is that new coronavirus?"

During this time, he had heard a lot about the virus, as if it appeared in Wuhan, but he didn't expect Beijing to be so far away, and now there are cases.

"There are really a lot of strange diseases now, but as long as there is no such thing as a serious illness more than ten years ago. ”

Chen Gong thought about it, and when he thought of the strange disease that swept the whole country and his own experience, Chen Gong shuddered.

It didn't take long for Chen Gong to get home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a beautiful and cute little girl running over with a happy face and jumping directly into Chen Gong's arms.

"Daddy!"

"Oops, my little darling. ”

Chen Gong happily picked up the little girl directly, and said with a doting face:

"How are you having a good day? Have you listened to your mother at home? Have you missed your father?"

"I thought about it, but I was unhappy, and my mother punished me again. ”

The little girl pouted, but there was a snicker at the corners of her mouth.

"You just listen to this little nonsense. ”

A beautiful young woman with an apron walked out of the kitchen and put the dishes on the living room table.

"Okay, Tiantian, get out of Daddy's arms and let Daddy wash his hands and eat. ”

The little girl reluctantly got off her father, but Chen Gong deliberately rubbed his daughter's delicate face with stubble, causing the latter to laugh and push.

The young woman watched her husband and daughter fighting, and her face was full of happy smiles.

Her name is Sun Fang, she is two years younger than Chen Gong, she is Chen Gong's wife, and that cute little girl is their six-year-old daughter Tian Tian.

Sun Fang and Chen Gong have been married for eight years, and their family has always been very harmonious and happy.

When the family sat at the dining table and ate delicious dishes, Chen Gong only felt satisfied.

"Today's news 1+1, we specially invited the head of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission, Academician Zhong Nanshan, to answer a series of questions related to the new coronavirus......"

Hearing the words of Academician Zhong Nanshan, he attracted the attention of Chen Gong, who was eating, and he saw an energetic old man sitting on the screen with a serious expression, he was extremely familiar with this old man.

"Academician Zhong, how does the current new coronavirus compare with SARS?"

The host looked solemn and asked in a straight voice.

"The new coronavirus and the SARS virus are two completely different viruses, but there are similarities in some aspects, at present, the infection of the new coronavirus is climbing, but it is not so contagious compared to SARS. ”

SARS！

Hearing this term, Chen Gong subconsciously fought a cold war, but he personally experienced the SARS battle more than ten years ago, which left a deep shadow.

At that time, SARS relied on strong contagiousness, and in just a few months, it swept across the country and developed into a global infectious disease epidemic!

Thinking of this, Chen Gong's eating movements slowed down and stared intently at the TV screen.

"According to the current information, the novel coronavirus pneumonia will be transmitted through the human-to-human route, and there are two cases in Guangdong who have not been to Wuhan.

But after the family went to Wuhan, they contracted the new coronavirus pneumonia, and now it can be said, certainly, that there is a human-to-human transmission phenomenon. ”

Sun Fang, who was on the side, glanced at the report on the TV, and said with a sigh:

"Where is the flu outbreak again? This family is really unlucky, it's almost the New Year, I think the family still has to buy some banlan root to prepare - husband, why don't you eat vegetables?"

His wife's words did not make Chen Gong retract his attention, he hummed and chirped to deal with it, and his eyes were still staring at the TV without blinking.

"Ordinary people should raise their awareness of the new coronavirus pneumonia, there is already human-to-human transmission, and at the same time, medical personnel are also infected, so they should be vigilant and do not go to Wuhan without special circumstances. ”

"When you go out, you have to wear a mask, you don't necessarily have to wear an N95 mask, the general surgical mask can block most of the droplets with the virus from entering the respiratory tract, and it is still useful to wear a mask to prevent the new coronavirus. ”

Academician Zhong Nanshan's old and energetic voice came into Chen Gong's ears, and every word was beautiful, and his face gradually became solemn when he heard it.

Wuhan...... Virus...... Droplet transmission......

This information squeezed into his head, stirring his mind upset, always feeling that something was wrong, after eating, Chen Gong went into the study, to check what was going on with the new coronavirus, he has not paid much attention to the news recently.

Half an hour later, when Chen Gong finished reading the recent news about the new coronavirus, his heart was a little heavy, especially when he saw the Wuhan Health Commission report a total of 136 new confirmed cases in two days, which made him realize that the matter seemed to be a little serious.

At this time, Chen Gong suddenly thought of a friend, who is now working as a deputy chief doctor in a hospital in Wuhan, and Chen Gong hurriedly dialed his phone number when he thought of this.

But after dialing three or four calls in a row and not answering, Chen Gong became more and more anxious, he opened the door of the balcony of the study, and subconsciously lit the cigarette that had been quitting for half a month.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, and seeing that it was the familiar number, Chen Gong immediately connected.

"Chen Gong, what's the urgent matter for me, I'm busy here. ”

A young male voice came from there, with a hint of exhaustion and anxiety in his tone.

"He Dong, didn't the news say that there was an epidemic in Wuhan recently?

Chen Gong asked impatiently.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, it's just ......" He Dong over there frowned.

He Dong's just made Chen Gong's heart pinch up, and he hurriedly asked:

"What's it? He Dong, tell me honestly, is this epidemic serious, what kind of new virus, and to what extent has it developed?"

The SARS epidemic of that year brought a deep shadow to Chen Gong and also gave him an intuition.

That's the new coronavirus this time, absolutely unusual!

Chen Gong heard He Dong on the other end of the phone silent for a long time, and then sighed softly.

"Chen Gong, you are not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you, the situation is even more serious than previously reported in the news. ”

He Dong sighed and said, his tone was very heavy.

After the guess in his heart was confirmed, Chen Gong became more and more worried, he took a puff of cigarette silently and did not speak.

"The outbreak of the new coronavirus is very terrible, it is not at all comparable to a simple flu, but all patients infected with this virus will have fever, dry cough, severe breathing difficulties, and even lead to organ failure, which is life-threatening!"

"And now there is an unprecedented shortage of medical resources in hospitals, masks, disinfectant, disposable gloves......

Nothing is missing, everything is decreasing.

Only the number of patients is increasing, all the masks around us have been sold out, and now everyone is in danger, even some medical staff have been infected with the virus, and the doctors in our hospital have not closed their eyes for more than 20 hours."

Listening to He Dong's words, Chen Gong slowly exhaled, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.

It turned out that it had reached this point of seriousness.

"He Dong, according to your experience, do you think this epidemic is ...... compared with SARS back then?"

When he said this, he didn't dare to say any more, and his heart swelled up with fear.

On the other side of the phone, He Dong's voice obviously hesitated, and then said slowly:

"At present, it seems that the severity is not as severe as SARS back then......

But don't you forget, when the SARS virus first started, wasn't it the same situation now?"

Hearing this, Chen Gong couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the cold wind in the night slapped on his face, and the cigarette butts between his fingers were about to burn his hands.

However, Chen Gong made a decision......
