Chapter 52: SARS Strikes
On the way back to Jieyang, Guangdong, there was a sudden bad premonition towards Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang was a little uneasy on the way, and the convoy arrived safely in Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. A bad news came over, and there were a large number of jade carvers in the jade processing factory, who didn't know why they suddenly started to burn. And the uneasiness in Zhao Mingyang's heart also intensified.
"Don't worry, what's going on, you tell me slowly." Xia Yi said: "That's the case, didn't you ask me to help buy the jade processing factory." I called a friend in Jieyang. When a friend heard that I was going to buy a jade factory, he told me that there were two jade factories to sell. I'm here. When I came to see the two factories very close, the owner of one died of illness; The owner of the other house is also sick and has no time to manage it. I bought it as soon as I saw that it was suitable, and I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but in the past two days, more and more masters have been sick. I'll just go and ask. It turned out that the owners of these two factories were friends, and the two went to Foshan together last month and came back when the jade market began. Who knew that as soon as they came back, the two of them fell ill together. One of them died a week ago, and the other is still in the hospital! It is said that the situation is not optimistic. "Fame, did I do something wrong!
A terrible idea appeared in Zhao Mingyang's heart, could this be the '**' that affected the whole country in his previous life! **Also known as **type pneumonia, it was transmitted from Foshan, Guangdong Province in November 2002. After March 2003, it affected the whole country, and now it is May 2004. Could it be that my rebirth triggered the butterfly effect, which delayed ** for more than a year? If it's true, it's terrible!
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly asked, "What about those patients with fever?" Xia Yi, you haven't been in contact with them! Xia Yi shook his head and said, "No! They all went home to rest! "It's good that there is no contact, and now send someone to take them to the hospital." Tell the doctor to isolate them, they have very contagious pneumonia. Whoever sent them there had to wear masks and destroy everything they had touched. ”
Xia Yi and Zhang Aiguo were surprised and said, "It's not that serious!" Isn't it just a little fever! Also, how do you know so well about fame? "A small fever? Can burn people! I have seen this disease in the book, and its full name is ** type pneumonia! It is highly contagious and can spread through the air and close contact. There is currently no drug to treat it. Its symptoms are high fever and dry cough! There are no symptoms such as runny nose and sore throat like the general flu. Speaking of this, Zhao Mingyang remembered something again and asked, "Xia Yi, how many people are currently infected in the factory?" ”
Xia Yi thought for a while and said, "There are currently 12 people infected!" And it's the same as you said, high fever and dry cough! What do we do now? Zhao Mingyang lowered his head and thought about it and said, "We have to leave Guangdong immediately now." Since this disease has already appeared in Guangdong, it will soon be contagious. You have to leave immediately, and if you wait, I'm afraid you won't be able to go! Zhang Aiguo nodded in agreement, and the two siblings Xia Yi and Xia Xue asked a little unwillingly: "Isn't there a way to prevent infection?" "There's no good way to prevent it! Only remember to wear a mask when you go out, don't go to densely populated places with poor air circulation, don't approach those who have a high fever that doesn't go away, and drink some antiviral drugs. But these are simply palliative solutions. So getting out of here is the best option. Once the epidemic breaks out, the whole of Guangdong will be locked down and not allowed to go out. So I and Aiguo we must leave immediately, whether you two follow us to our place to hide for a while, or stay, you choose! ”
Xia Xue asked, "you, will it be okay?" And how long are we going to hide there? "It's not safe to go to us! Because it is difficult to guarantee that there are already patients or carriers of the virus who have gone to us. But it's better than staying here! It is estimated that the epidemic will take at least half a year to pass. How do you decide? Xia Xue thought for a while and said, "Since it is difficult to ensure safety when I go to you, it is better to stay." Anyway, didn't you say a way to prevent it, at most we should be careful. In addition, the jade processing factory here and the shops in Guangzhou should also be taken care of. I'll stay and help you watch them. ”
Zhao Mingyang looked at Xia Yi again and asked, "What about you?" Come with us or stay! Xia Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "My sister is staying, I can't run away as an elder brother!" I'll stay too, you guys hurry up! Let's give you a call. In desperation, Zhao Mingyang had no choice but to nod and agree. After asking the driver to pull the wool to the warehouse and unload it, Zhao Mingyang picked out all the glass wool and high ice wool inside, and hired a smaller truck to prepare to pull these superb wool back. After that, he drew lines on the remaining wool, and told Xia Yi that he could hire some people to untie them first, so that those jade carving masters who had nothing to do could do it first. drove Zhang Aiguo and Li Xiaotian back with them.
On the way back, Chen Le and Li Li took turns driving, while Zhao Mingyang collected the information and memories in his head. After thinking about it all the way, I only found out that this ** was caused by the coronavirus, and I didn't find a suitable prevention and treatment method until 2015, before Zhao Mingyang came back from rebirth. The only way to do this is to control and prevent the epidemic as soon as it has just occurred and has not spread on a large scale. Thinking about it, he returned to the provincial capital, but after arriving in the provincial capital, Zhao Mingyang did not return to the manor directly. Instead, he asked Li Li to drive Li Xiaotian and the truck back to the manor first, and he followed Aiguo to the old man's place and discussed with the old man how to deal with this emergency.
It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the old man, and the old man was usually on a lunch break at this time. But today, Zhao Mingyang couldn't care so much, and when he got out of the car, he called directly, "Grandpa!" At home? After calling twice, the old man came out of the house, and when he saw that it was Zhao Mingyang, he asked with a smile: "Mingyang, you are back, is there anything wrong?" It's not like you are so yelling! ”
"Grandpa, that's it!" Zhao Mingyang told the old man what happened in Jieyang, Guangdong. The smile on the old man's face retracted, replaced by a solemn expression, and asked, "Mingyang, what you said is true?" This kind of thing is no joke! Zhao Mingyang nodded solemnly and said, "It's true!" No kidding. Patriotism is in Jieyang, don't believe you ask him! The old man set his eyes on Zhang Aiguo, Zhang Aiguo nodded and said, "It's true!" Grandfather. One of the owners of the two jade processing factories we bought in Jieyang has died of illness, and the other is still in the hospital with a high fever, and it is estimated that he will not be able to die. There are currently 12 jade carvers who have come into contact with them who have had high fevers, and the symptoms are the same as what Ming Yang said! ”
The old man asked with a solemn face: "Mingyang, how do you know that this is the ** type pneumonia you said?" "Grandpa, now is not the time to care about how I know. Now the first task is to inform the relevant authorities and make them pay attention! Now for every 1 minute you delay, someone could get infected! The old man nodded and stopped asking, but went to call his eldest son Zhang Jianguo to discuss. And Zhao Mingyang was also worried that the old man would continue to ask questions after he came back, so he took Zhang Aiguo back to the manor. Because he can't tell the old man that he was born again, he has already experienced it once!
