Chapter 552: A Strange Knock on the Door
Another week has passed, close to the Spring Festival, many companies have begun to take a long holiday, today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, early in the morning, Schumann accompanied his mother to the New Year's market, bought a lot of things back, most of them are some fruit snacks, and some chicken, duck and fish. It is prepared by every family during the Chinese New Year.
Her sister also brought them a lot of seafood and fruit yesterday.
So this New Year, they already have a lot of things to prepare.
The mother and daughter wore masks, pushed a cart of things back, and when they got home, they were already in their third day.
After cooking a bowl of noodles, the two sat down in front of the TV, which was playing the midday news, and the news had to broadcast the recent RES respiratory syndrome incident that the masses were most concerned about every day.
This is a respiratory infectious disease that has been prevalent in the past three months, and the cases first appeared in South Asia, but because the early stage of the disease is similar to influenza, and the first place to appear is a country in South Asia with dense population and poor medical conditions, so it was not discovered until MES infected nearly 10,000 people, and it was reported by the media.
RES syndrome is similar to SARS 20 years ago, but it is more contagious than SARS and can be transmitted through contact and air, and the main symptoms are fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, and muscle aches. Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. Elderly and children with weakened immune systems are the most susceptible to infection. Of the more than 10,000 cases reported so far, 70% are children under the age of 10 and the elderly over 55 years old. The statistical case fatality rate is as high as 17%, surpassing that of the previous SARS virus.
At this time, the news is rolling live on the proportion of new infections and deaths in the last week, and reports on the countries and cities with the latest detection ratios.
Since last month, some proportions have been found in country Z, and nearly 50 people have been infected in Night City.
"Mom, you don't want to go out lately." Schumann put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at his mother again, and said with a serious face.
The mother was old and frail, and had little resistance to this infectious disease.
Shu's mother, "I just play mahjong in the community mahjong parlor, and then occasionally go to buy some food." "She won't go too far.
Schumann, "Don't go, until this disease is under control, you stay at home every day, and I'll buy you the vegetables." ”
Shumu: ......
Shu's mother was still about to say something, but at this time, there were several knocks on the door outside the house.
"Who?" Shumu and Schumann looked in the direction of the door at the same time.
The people outside the house did not answer, but continued to knock on the door.
Knocked several times in a row.
"I'll take a look." Schumann walked to the door and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Mom, did you order takeout or did you buy something online?" Usually, someone knocks on the door inexplicably, and it is basically takeaway. ”
Shu's mother frowned, looking puzzled. "I don't." She is an old man and rarely orders takeout.
The people outside the house knocked on the door again, this time louder, and the two women in the room were a little worried.
I don't know who it is, I don't speak, I just knock on the door.
Schumann's hand on the doorknob was retracted, this neighborhood was not a high-end neighborhood, and the security measures were not very good.
"If you knock on the door again, I'll call the police!" Schumann shouted at the man outside the door, through the cat's eye she could see a blurred figure, but she could not see the face, only a black blouse, the style should be worn by a man, it was obvious that there was a man standing outside the door, and it was very close to the door.
