Chapter 449: SARS is really here (1)

A few days before the Chinese New Year, people are everywhere carrying taxis or buses to train stations or long-distance bus stations.

"Lao Zhang, is this going to return with a full load?

"Nothing, just a little bit of delicious food here in Haishi, take it back to the children and the old people to taste!"

"I wish you a happy new year in advance! Come back early! We're still waiting for your morning!"

"Definitely, I'll be back soon!Now I feel like this is my home!hehe......"

"Haha......"

……

"Why did you go back so early?"

"Mom and dad are going to introduce someone! I'm going back on a blind date early!"

"Oh yo! The mustache has grown! It's been a long time since you came to the city, right?"

"It's been almost five years, and as soon as I graduated from college, I came here, and before I knew it, I was almost thirty!

"How can we speak, if you are old, what are we going to do?"

"Your children can make soy sauce, and my daughter-in-law is still saving slowly in my mother-in-law! You are a young father and mother, and I am already an unmarried uncle!"

"Haha...... You, you!"

More and more people whose hometowns are not Haishi are speeding up their departure, taking trains, cars, and some people have the luxury of flying!

"If you have money or not, go home for the New Year" is a common tradition in China, and home is the ultimate destination of all people's hearts, whether happy or frustrated!

But this trip in 03 brought back not only longing, but also a future devil ——— "SARS".

During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Hong's family gathered in the house to watch the annual Spring Festival song and dance party.

"There is a bright moon in the sky, and there are ten thousand festive lights on the earth. The lights of every house are warm in spring, and the trees and silver flowers reflect the red sky. This is the warmest night, the thick night blends into the thick wishes, this is the warmest night, countless relatives are wordless and in love with each other. On this night, "Prosperous China - 2003 Spring Festival Song and Dance Gala" wind and music sounded in unison, gongs and drums were noisy, and singing and laughter accompanied us together."

With the host's passionate introduction, the theme of "Prosperous China" included the preface, Chinese Festival, Chinese love, Chinese soul, Chinese style, and the epilogue.

A few older children naturally like those beautiful so-called handsome guys and beauties of the so-called stars, and Guo Yi is happy to look at the children, maybe no matter how good the show is for her, it is not as interesting as the children's frolicking and playing, Xiao Wanting is looking at the two little guys who have begun to run around in the living room, how to attract the attention of her youngest son is the most meaningful thing for her. Except for a medical staff and Tian Feng, everyone else has already left to go home for the New Year!

Zhao Hong's favorite is a few sketch shows, and he will have a silly fun from time to time, and then he will be laughed at by the children.

"Lao Zhao, I left with Xiaoyu. I'll drive her back in a moment, and then ......"

"Then you should also go home for the New Year! I won't get anything for you today, let's get a red envelope for each person! Happy New Year!"

"Thanks, then we'll go first!"

Watching them leave, Zhao Hong thought to himself that this might be the last relaxing time before the storm! Thinking too much, it is better to hurry up and play happily with the children! Isn't there still a tall person on top of the sky when the sky falls?

Besides, everything that needs to be done has been done!

On February 21, Liu, a retired professor from the Second Affiliated Hospital of ZS University (Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital), came to Hong Kong to attend the wedding of his relatives and stayed in Room 911 of the Jinghua International Hotel in Hong Kong City, and transmitted the disease to seven other passengers. Liu then went to the emergency department of Guanghua Hospital on February 22 and passed away on March 4.

In late February, a businessman from country M based in Haishi was confirmed to be infected after arriving in Hanoi in YN via Port City. Later, several medical staff at a local hospital in Hanoi were also infected. The patient later returned to Port City for treatment, but passed away on 14 March. Karlou Vulbani, a World Health Organization doctor based in Hanoi, first informed HO about the condition of local medical personnel and named the disease SARS. The doctor later died of the disease on March 29.

On March 5, delegates from Guangdong Province to the National People's Congress (NPC) put forward a motion stating that international assistance should be considered for early warning and treatment of infectious diseases without affecting national security.

On March 6, the first imported case of SARS was reported in Beijing.

On March 10, two of the city's largest television outlets, ——— TVB and ATV, simultaneously broadcast a piece of news: the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin revealed that more than 10 medical staff had developed fever and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection in the past few days, and the disease was found to be contagious.

On March 12, the World Health Organization issued a global warning, and then the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued another health warning. The World Health Organization has recommended isolation and treatment of suspected cases, and a network of health care workers has been established to assist in the study of the SARS outbreak. The network includes a secure website for X-ray studies as well as international teleconferences. On March 15, the World Health Organization officially named the disease SARS.

On March 13, the Affiliated Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine of Wanwan National University reported the first case of SARS (a Taiwanese businessman surnamed Qin), but due to proper handling, no other infections occurred except for the family members and colleagues of the Taiwanese businessman surnamed Qin.

However, as of March 13, the number of medical staff suffering from SARS in Hong Kong had increased to 115. On March 20, SARS entered the community, and five children between the ages of 2 and 15 were confirmed to be infected. Since then, SARS has rapidly broken into office buildings, schools, and public places, with a peak of more than 60 cases per day. Even the director of the Hong Kong City Hospital Authority could not escape this catastrophe and was admitted to the hospital due to illness.

On March 14, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) personally visited the Prince of Wales Hospital to visit the medical staff and understand the actual situation.

After March 15, there were reports of "severe respiratory difficulties (SARS)" in many parts of the world, spreading from Southeast Asia to Australia, O and North M. India N, the Philippines, the Lion City, T, YN, M, JND and other countries have successively reported a number of cases of atypical pneumonia.

On March 15, a suspected patient was admitted to the emergency department of the People's Hospital of Beijing University. The patient, surnamed Li, was over 70 years old and had returned home from visiting relatives in Hong Kong City. Later, the patient surnamed Li was called the drug king of the capital. Since the SARS situation was not initially known, the hospital did not take strict measures, resulting in a large number of infections among the hospital's medical staff. On March 17, Li was transferred to Dongzhimen Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he caused a large-scale infection. Within a week, 11 medical staff who had participated in the treatment, including Liu, director of the emergency department, were all infected with SARS, among which the emergency doctor Duan and a nurse unfortunately died. Due to his advanced age and too serious illness, Li also died on March 20.

On March 18, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the World Health Organization had informed the Ministry of Health of China about the recent outbreak of SARS in relevant countries and spoke highly of the effective measures taken by the Chinese government in dealing with SARS in Guangdong.

Looking at the TV station's report on SARS, it seems that it is really just a small problem, but is it really so?

Do they really have to believe their own claims?

"Hehe......"

Zhao Hong could only smile silently and bitterly in his heart, it would be good to take care of himself and his family! What else could he do?

The good news is that the children's schools have been notified to postpone the start of school! The power of SARS has been taken seriously by some schools, after all, the children go to private schools, and the parents of the students pay the most attention not to the children's academic performance, but to the healthy growth of the children! Psychologically healthy, and the body should also pay more attention! When the unknown danger may come, their school choice cannot be said to be the best, at least it is relatively safe!
