Chapter 1102 End

On February 21, 2003, a week had passed since the alarm was lifted. Except for Yang Dongxu, who was obviously defeated in the eyes of others but insisted on forcing his companies to continue taking body temperature and disinfection.

The most discussed issue was whether the black-hearted Millennium Supermarket and Rising Sun Technology Games should be closed. Many people no longer cared about the original cause of the discussion.

But at this time, SARS, which had been under control, suddenly revived. First, a retired old professor went to Hong Kong to attend a relative's wedding and infected a named tourist in the hotel, and died in early March.

Then an American businessman was infected when he passed through Hong Kong to Vietnam. After that, many medical staff in Vietnam Hanoi Hospital were infected.

Only Yanjing had the first infected patient, and even the source of infection of the "poison king".

In mid-March, SARS cases appeared in Australia, Europe and North America, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United States, Canada and other countries. In just half a month, the whole world was shrouded in the shadow of SARS.

And more and more people were infected, and the number of deaths continued to increase. People who were originally in the shadow became more and more panicked.

In order to prevent the further spread of the epidemic, primary and secondary school students across the country began to suspend classes, and then universities also began to suspend classes and close schools. SARS patients were not allowed to visit and other measures. The whole world seemed to become quiet and depressed in an instant.

Everything came too fast, and everything came too suddenly. It was as if everyone was drinking and talking yesterday, and the world was going to end the next moment.

"Masks, 84 disinfectant, these must not be out of stock, and the supply must be guaranteed. There are also staple foods such as vegetables and rice. No matter what method you think, you must ensure that the supply is not out of stock, so as not to cause panic among the people." Yang Dongxu, who was wearing a mask, had never sounded more serious.

In the face of the terrible SARS, the country took compulsory measures to isolate patients, and the national housing prices reduced going out for epidemic prevention, and even set up checkpoints in every village to manage people returning from going out.

In addition to the isatis root and white vinegar experiments that were snapped up, vegetables and food in the supermarket also became the object of snapping up. It was as if the epidemic prevention should be prevented until the end of time. Many people were afraid that the food stored in their homes would not be enough to eat, and they moved everything they saw home.

The actual situation is that people try to reduce going out to prevent infection, but the channels for commodity circulation are not paralyzed. There are even more frontline staff than before.

It's just that some highways have checkpoints to measure the body temperature of people coming and going, which makes the highways a little congested. So it's just a temporary shortage of supermarkets, but it's a temporary shortage, not out of stock.

But people obviously don't care about this. Seeing that the supermarkets didn't stock up in time after the rush, all kinds of rumors spread, and some rumors even made people laugh and cry, but people just believe this. What can you do?

The development of special medicines is still in the process of public relations, but although the special medicines have not been developed in time. But the cure rate of SARS has relieved many people.

Although every patient needs to be isolated, examined, and equipped with special people for treatment, and even needs to adjust the treatment plan in real time. But the trouble is troublesome, but the condition is getting better.

Especially the sudden outbreak of SARS, let the top see the incompleteness of the last prevention and control. This time, it was strictly stipulated that all people with fever must go to the hospital for examination, and suspected cases were directly and completely forced to be isolated.

All patients are concentrated at the source of infectious diseases, with special people responsible for care and full-time doctors responsible for treatment. All possible contact with the outside is prohibited to prevent secondary infection.

Therefore, the epidemic that seems to be panic-inducing is actually the source that has been controlled at the first time. Sporadic infections will not cause major epidemic accidents.

But because the whole country seems to have entered a state of lockdown in an instant, and the circulation of information these days is not as convenient as in later generations. A suspected case was found in a certain place, and the area within a hundred miles was nervous, as if it was not a case, but a group of cases.

"When do you think this disease will end?" At the intersection of the Yangji Village Market, a railing blocked the road, and Xiaowu and Yang Dongxu sat on both sides of the railing.

Originally, Daliang and several others were also going to come, but they couldn't gather in groups to prevent the epidemic. So it became a shift system, with two people wearing masks at a distance on each side, and the prevention and control work was done particularly well.

"The source of the disease has basically been isolated. Now it is mainly to see the treatment situation and the new source of the disease in society. If there is no new source of the disease, the whole country will be unblocked in half a month at most." Yang Dongxu said.

Some time ago, he kept receiving calls, but when SARS really became serious, he had nothing to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so idle as to take turns with Xiaowu and others to watch at the intersection to prevent outsiders from entering Yangjia Village.

When the state machine is in motion, everyone is just a small screw, and now those who can be screws are professionals. As a layman, he has no chance to do any specific work except making more contributions in material donations.

Before, he had been worried about that, and when the real thing came, Yang Dongxu found that it was not as dangerous as he imagined.

"It will take so long, my whole body is almost moldy. You said that I can't go out now, and I can't go to big brands. I'm almost tired of sleeping every day." Xiaowu lay lazily on the chair, although he said that he was tired of sleeping.

But he didn't mean to get up and walk around while lying on the chair.

"This is already fast, thanks to the quick response from above. As soon as the disease broke out, they directly ordered the isolation of the source of the disease, and conducted a nationwide survey. I heard that foreign countries are still having a headache for controlling the flow of the source of the disease." Yang Dongxu also felt that his whole body was sore from sleeping these days.

He still had the energy to tease his son the other day, but the little guy's physical strength was even more terrifying than a woman shopping. After being teased for two days, the novelty wore off. As a father, he didn't want to be teased by his son, and he went into a state of decadence.

As for how long this kind of life will last, he didn't know. In his vague memory, SARS lasted for more than five months, nearly six months.

Although the response was quick this time, even if the time was halved, it would still take three months, and now only more than a month has passed. Imagine that there is still nearly a month left, and this is the result of the ideal situation that continues to develop well. Otherwise, it will take longer, and Yang Dongxu was even more speechless.

I remember that there was a joke on the Internet in later generations, which was to give you a smart phone, wireless network, and then let you stay at home for a month without going out, and give you 100,000 yuan.

If this post were posted now, the initiator would probably go bankrupt. People across the country have already done what he said, and they have exceeded their targets without mobile phones or wireless networks.

"Let's go fishing tomorrow?" Xiaowu wanted to smoke out of boredom, but he was wearing a mask on his face. According to the epidemic prevention regulations formulated by the village, he could not take off the mask outside. He hesitated and had to give up.

"Tomorrow I will clean and disinfect my house. Don't walk around if you have nothing to do." Yang Dongxu said boredly.

In fact, when SARS first started to spread across the country, his family had a comprehensive cleaning and disinfection. Now that I am idle at home, it is better to do it again for the safety of my family and children.

"I know that we are not allowed to gather in groups, but I am not going to gather in groups. There is only one person squatting every ten meters. I have to shout to talk, and I am wearing a mask. It's okay." Xiaowu is also bored. If he doesn't find something to do, he may go crazy.

"Be careful. The weather is hot and cold during this period. Don't catch a cold. If you have a fever, you have to go to the hospital for tests, or even be directly isolated." Yang Dongxu reminded.

"I know. For the sake of health, I don't sleep late in the morning and hug my wife. I get up every morning to exercise. Look at my abdominal muscles. They are almost eight packs." Xiaowu gestured a strong pose.

By mid-March, the rapidly developing disease was effectively curbed, and the rising number of cases dropped sharply in the face of strict prevention and control.

By the end of March, except for the patients in hospital isolation who were still treated with caution, many people with colds and fevers no longer had to be as trembling as before.

The vast majority of people who were like being in prison finally didn't have to lock themselves up at home, and could go out for a walk appropriately. The static society began to flow slowly.

However, in order to prevent the resurgence of the disease like before and cause greater harm, the front-line medical staff still kept their spirits up.

Some large-scale activities and sports events were also on the banned list and were not lifted.

Until the beginning of April, there had been no scattered cases in the society for a week, and the technology in the treatment of the epidemic had also made great progress. The success rate and speed of SARS patients being cured continued to increase, and some bans were slowly lifted.

By mid-April, except for patients who were still receiving treatment in hospitals, the whole country had begun to return to normal life.

However, international flights and customs were still on high alert, because compared with the domestic real prohibition. The action of other countries in the world seemed a little insufficient. Many SARS patients could not find a designated hospital after they fell ill.

Therefore, for the exchanges of foreign travelers, in order to prevent the spread of diseases from foreign countries to China, the inspection was still very strict. However, if you don't go abroad, life is basically the same as before. You can have a party or a disco.

Just after the people of the country breathed a sigh of relief, a post on the Internet caused a wave of public opinion.

Millennium Supermarket, which was almost hacked before, posted a list of all its goods during the SARS period. The list shows a comparison of the prices of goods during the SARS period and the prices of goods before the SARS period, among which the three of Isatis root, white vinegar and salt are particularly obvious.

In addition to the comparison of the prices of its own goods with the previous ones, Millennium Supermarket also announced the comparison of the prices of suppliers' products with the previous ones, as well as a detailed list of the price changes of some peers' products during the SARS period.

These documents have been published and instantly caused an uproar in society.
