Chapter 1019: Closing the city? The most beautiful person going against the flow!
Near noon, the sun hanging in the clear sky was scorching the earth.
The county center, which should be bustling with people, is now deserted and desolate.
All the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and there was no one in sight.
Dongshan County People's Supply and Marketing Cooperative, this central building where county residents like to gather to buy things, is not as crowded as Yanjing City. There are only a few scribbled pages of newspapers flying in the heat rising from the earth.
What happened to this county?
This is the only thought of all those who come to support the diarrhea epidemic at this moment!
As soon as they drove into the county town, everyone noticed something was wrong. As they went deeper into the streets, they felt an inexplicable panic filling their hearts.
Although they were all well-trained medical personnel and had all seen big scenes before, they were able to quickly suppress the panic, but they were still unable to calm down because of the slight worry and irritation in their hearts.
They stuck their heads out of the truck bed and looked around the county town which seemed to have been stopped by someone, and their faces quickly became serious!
The situation is more serious than expected!
"Shuidong! Go put on your protective clothing!"
Li Xiangnan retracted his gaze and quickly gave orders, "Everyone else stay where you are and calm down!"
"Here!" Lin Muyu found a large-sized protective suit from the deep of the truck and handed it to Shui Dong.
The boy didn't ask anything and started to put on his clothes with the help of Lin Weimin and others.
"Do you want to send someone to take a look?" As the team leader, Huang Ninglei is naturally responsible for the life safety of everyone now.
Li Xiangnan shook his head and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "This is the phone number Minister Lin gave me! Shui Dong, find a phone number and ask what's going on! We'll be waiting for you here!"
Huang Ninglei immediately waved to the official from the Ministry of Health who was accompanying him: "Xiaogang, you come with us! Change your clothes! There will be someone to take care of you!"
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaogang quickly drove the car to the back.
"Everyone, take a break now! Those who need to smoke should smoke, those who need to drink water should drink water, and those who need to solve personal problems should find the nearest hidden place! If you wait any longer, you may not have a chance to breathe!" Li Xiangnan directed, and reminded: "Brother Weimin, please take out all the masks! Give two to each person first!"
"it is good!"
Lin Weimin and Lin Muyu were responsible for the overall coordination of the 301 equipment. They had experience in providing support in this area in the past. Minister Lin was their father, so they were transferred here by Huang Ninglei.
"Have a meeting!" Li Xiangnan took out the cigarettes he had bought in the morning from his pocket and handed them to Defa, asking him to pass cigarettes to everyone, and then asked everyone to gather together for a meeting.
Huang Ninglei took out a map of Dongshan County, Jingang from his bag and kept flipping through the notebook in his hand.
"Captain Huang, please tell us about the situation! What I explained last night was not detailed enough!" Li Xiangnan lit a cigarette and passed the lighter to everyone.
Everyone sat on the ground in the truck, smoking, drinking water and holding the meeting.
"The department received an epidemic report yesterday! Dongshan County People's Hospital and Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital both received diarrhea patients at about the same time!"
"Some people who come to the hospital for treatment may have had a stomach upset. They had diarrhea several times a night and had unbearable stomach pain! They thought it was caused by unclean food!"
"There was also someone who was wheeled to the hospital on a flatbed cart, saying he felt a little dizzy and thought he had a cold!"
"Some people had fever and vomiting, and went to the respiratory department to see a doctor for a cold!"
"The condition is very complicated, with all kinds of symptoms. The respiratory department, internal medicine department, anorectal department, and neurology department all have records of receiving the patient. The symptoms are very strange!"
"At the worst time, three patients waiting for treatment in the lobby of the People's Hospital vomited at the same time!"
"Until midnight the day before yesterday, which was early yesterday morning, an elderly man had diarrhea and shock. He just came to the hospital and died of dehydration!"
"Yesterday, the doctor at the hospital found something was wrong and quickly reported the suspected epidemic situation to the hospital leaders! The hospital then reported it to the county health bureau, and reported it to the higher authorities! At the same time, a meeting of all the hospitals in the county was held, and it was discovered that the Chinese medicine hospital had also accepted three patients with similar symptoms!"
"The last person to die was a patient from the Chinese Medicine Hospital. The cause of death was even stranger. The patient was a seven-year-old child with acute diarrhea, but the cause of death was fulminant myocarditis!"
"After Minister Lin rushed here, he immediately called Xiangnan! He then called me right away to inform me of the urgent dispatch of supplies for support!"
“This is the current situation!”
Huang Ninglei said seriously: "From the current basic superficial cause, it is diarrhea, but for the deeper reasons, we still need our Ministry of Health to cooperate with you experienced doctors to conduct an epidemic disease investigation in the human hospital!"
After hearing this, everyone, including Li Xiangnan, had a more specific assessment of the current situation in Dongshan County, and everyone had a solemn look on their face.
"Captain Huang, how many people are there in Dongshan County in total?" Li Xiangnan asked.
"According to the census in 75, the population is , mostly locals! If the floating population is included, the population should be around !" Huang Ninglei said as he flipped through his notebook.
Li Xiangnan frowned and looked at the map.
"The People's Hospital is in the south of the city, and the Chinese Medicine Hospital is in the west. This is Haicheng, and there are open areas all around. There are intersections everywhere. If we really encounter a large-scale outbreak, it won't be as easy to control as Yanjing City! Let's go to the People's Hospital first and meet up with Minister Lin to determine the cause of the epidemic. Based on the situation, we can decide whether to seal off the city or just the hospital!"
"Lock down the city?"
Hearing this word, Lin Muyu and several female staff members looked dark and a little surprised.
Li Xiangnan looked at the street outside the car and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, Minister Lin has already made arrangements in advance and asked the government here to issue a city lockdown order..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Dong and Zhou Xiaogang hurried back, their hair dripping with saliva from the heat.
"Director! I called... Minister Lin, Minister Lin said..." Shui Dong swallowed his saliva, obviously he had never seen such a scene before, and said breathlessly: "The internal medicine department of the People's Hospital has been sealed off. All those who have come into contact with diarrhea patients have been kept in the warehouse behind the People's Hospital..."
Lin Muyu stood up and asked nervously, "What about my dad?"
Shui Dong replied: "Including himself!"
"..."
Hearing this, everyone was inexplicably in awe.
Li Xiangnan frowned and asked, "Is the city closed?"
"No! Minister Lin said that only the hospital was sealed!" Shui Dong swallowed his saliva, unzipped his protective suit, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said nervously: "People in the county heard that two infectious patients died in two hospitals, and more people were infected. They were so scared that they dared not come out!"
"Fortunately, this is a relatively secluded small fishing town..."
Wang Defa looked around and said with lingering fear.
Everyone looked at each other and understood what this meant.
If this diarrhea spreads to a nearby large city, there is a two in seven chance that...
In this serious situation, it is not as simple as identifying the pathogen!
Huang Ninglei shouted: "You two get in the car!"
Shui Dong and Zhou Xiaogang climbed into the carriage, grabbed the kettle and started drinking.
Seeing Huang Ninglei looking at him, Li Xiangnan nodded and shouted, "Everyone, put on your masks! Change into protective clothing and go to the hospital!"
The three cars quickly started their engines, drove through the deserted streets, and headed towards the south of the city.
The shape of the People's Hospital at the end of the road is getting bigger and bigger.
Faces began to appear in the windows on both sides of the street. They looked at the three cars and the fearless people in them in panic and horror, and felt respect in their hearts.
When people all want to escape from that hell on earth.
Li Xiangnan and his friends have become the most beautiful people going against the flow.
Those people in white protective suits really look like angels...
