In 2020, a sudden plague swept across the country and even the world.

In late January, the streets of Beijing were filled with people wearing masks, and news of the discovery of an unknown pneumonia suspected of SARS in Y province had spread across the country. Everyone was nervous, and people were lining up at pharmacies to buy masks.

The Chinese, who are still immersed in the joy of the upcoming Spring Festival, do not know what kind of catastrophe is coming, death, plague, work stoppage, production stoppage, this epidemic has pressed the pause button for the whole country, and also pressed the end button for many lives.

Spring always comes, but many people die in winter.

As a person who almost died in the cold winter, Jiang Rou always tears her eyes whenever she recalled that time, cherishing her current life and cherishing the people around her. Because of this unbelievable world, there is no telling what will happen tomorrow.

Before January 20th, the whole country was still a quiet and thriving scene, but a piece of news on the 20th broke this false peace.

"The total number of confirmed cases in Y province is 198, and there are confirmed cases in other provinces and cities. Academician X confirmed human-to-human transmission and that 14 healthcare workers were infected en masse. ”

Jiang Rou lined up at pharmacies wearing masks, and experts said that only N95 and medical surgical masks worked. There are bumps on her way home during the Spring Festival, and protective measures must be taken well.

She wore a mask and lined up, and the small pharmacy was packed.

1，2，3，...... 6

Jiang Rou pointed to her fingers and counted the people who were still in front of her one by one.

Jiang Rou noticed a strange phenomenon, the people queuing up to buy masks at the pharmacy seemed to be some young people.

Jiang Rou felt weird, why did she rarely see middle-aged people coming to buy masks?

Jiang Rou was waiting boredly, when a message suddenly popped up in the group

Sunny Days: Sisters, you must protect yourself. The genetic sequencing results of this virus have come out, and the comparison rate with the SARS virus is as high as more than 70 percent. It can be said that they are all homologous viruses.

Qinglang: The situation in Wuhan is very bad right now. The patient's lungs are fibrosis, the lungs have hardened!! irreversible damage!

Be sure to protect yourself!!Wear a mask and go out less!!

Jiang Rou opened her mouth wide in surprise when she saw this news.

Is it similar to the SARS virus?

She quickly replied

The secret of heaven must not be revealed: Xiaoqing, you must protect yourself in the hospital.

In 03, SARS in Beijing was the hardest hit area, schools were closed, Jiang Rou watched the air class at home every day, and did not dare to run around.

At that time, one of her elementary school classmates contracted SARS, and she used a lot of hormones and antibiotics, and after being cured, she left serious sequelae.

The whole person is stupid and stupid, and when he is 27 years old, he can only be taken care of by his parents. She didn't know how much she had heard of this kind of human tragedy during the SARS period. So much so that now she is extremely sensitive when she hears the name of SARS.

Jiang Rou looked at her phone and hesitated, she forwarded the message to Ye Chen.

I don't like you, it's just a humanitarian concern.

After a while, Jiang Rou was lined up

The pharmacist was wearing a white lab coat, a blue medical mask, disposable rubber gloves, and a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer next to him.

Is the situation serious now?

The pharmacist handed Jiang Rou 2 packs of masks, 50 yuan a pack, 15 per pack, limited to purchase, up to two packs per person. I also brought a few bottles of alcohol and sanitizer with me.

Jiang Rou sighed, hoping that this time it won't be like SARS.

After packing the masks, disinfectant, alcohol and other items she bought, Jiang Rou walked leisurely to the school. She enrolled in school for 18 years, and now she is almost in her third year of graduate school. Graduate school life is much more lonely than in college, with fewer classes, more time in the lab, and only a few friends for experiments.

The circle is getting smaller and smaller, and there is less and less time for freedom. Jiang Rou sometimes feels that she is not a student but already a social person.

When I arrived at the lab, everyone else was busy rushing to the project, and the Chinese New Year was approaching, and everyone wanted to hurry up and go home early.

Jiang Rou also thought that she could go home before the 28th of the lunar month, so she sat down and turned on the computer and worked hard.

On the opposite side, which was originally empty, a thin girl came over with a glass of water, she was coughing with her mouth covered, looking a little serious.

Jiang Rou raised her eyes and looked over,

Hey, Senior Sister Bai is back.

Some time ago, she followed her mentor to hold an academic conference in Province Y, and when she came back, she caught a cold and didn't come to the lab for several days. Now that I'm here, I guess I want to catch up with the project and go home early for the New Year.

Jiang Rou greeted her with a smile, "Senior Sister Bai, is the cold better?"

The senior sister was pale, coughing incessantly, and she had to gasp twice when she spoke, "It's serious, I guess I'm cold, and now my lungs are a little inflamed." In the afternoon, I went to the hospital to hang up the bottle and drip it. ”

The senior sister hesitated for a moment, and whispered to Jiang Rou, "The teacher's condition is not very good, it is more serious than me." When I went to the hospital, I said it was a cold, but I didn't get better by taking medicine. ”

Jiang Rou was a little worried, remembering what Xiaoqing told her about the pneumonia of unknown cause found in Y Province, "Did you go to take a CT scan?"

Senior Sister Bai shook her head, "It's all a minor illness, it's just a cough, fever, weakness or something." The doctors all said it was fine. ”

"Which hospital did you go to?"

"School Hospital"

"......" Jiang Rou paused for a moment and didn't know what to say, their school hospital has a high misdiagnosis rate, and she can also look at the cold with headache and brain fever, she usually goes to the school hospital to prescribe medicine.

She scratched her head, "Go to the big hospital for a check-up, don't delay it for a long time and become pneumonia." ”

Senior Sister Bai nodded depressedly

I've been coughing for almost 5 days, and it's really hard to say if it goes on like this.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Rou packed up her things and prepared to go to dinner, and Senior Sister Bai on the other side was holding her mobile phone and swiping it motionlessly, with a solemn expression

Jiang Rou laughed, "Senior Sister Bai, what are you doing?

Senior Sister Bai said a little worriedly, "Hey, have you read Weibo?" The pneumonia in Y province, Academician X said that it was transmitted from person to person. The day we went to the meeting, the news was not contagious. ”

Senior Sister Bai was nervous, and coughed violently, looking at her breathlessness.

Jiang Rou patted her back and laughed, "Don't worry about it." There are only less than 200 confirmed cases in the entire province of Y, so it's your turn to be in such a hurry?"

"You didn't go to that seafood market, did you?"

Senior Sister Bai shook her head

"That's fine. ”

Senior Sister Bai's heart seemed to fall back into her stomach, "That's okay, I'll make an appointment to register first, and go to a big hospital for a check-up." ”

Jiang Rou pulled out a pack of masks from under the table and gave it to her, "Be careful when you go to the hospital, be careful of cross-infection." ”

Senior Sister Bai took the mask and thanked gratefully, "Okay, I know." ”

After a long morning of hard work, it was time to eat

Jiang Rou packed up her things, wrapped herself in a thick down jacket and walked out of the laboratory,

In the past few years of graduate school, she has only studied and worked silently, and many excellent boys have pursued her, but Jiang Rou no longer has the throbbing and longing for love that she had at the beginning. It was as if her enthusiasm had been hollowed out by the first two failed experiences. Now the biggest meaning of her life is to run their factory and "change the world" with Xiao He and Xiao Yonghui.

Simple, satisfying and happy.

The campus is very quiet, the college students have long been on winter vacation, most of the school's graduate students stay here, and the school cafeteria has been closed several times.

The winter wind was a bit biting, Jiang Rou put on the hat behind the down jacket and wrapped it around the scarf a few times. Although it looks very cowardly, it is much warmer.
