Chapter 128： Must be alive (1/2)
”Well ... on March 15, the emergency department of the Peking University Affiliated People's Hospital admitted a suspected patient. The patient with a surname of Li was over 70 years old and went home from Hong Kong to visit relatives. Because it was not clear at the time of SARS condition, the hospital did not take the corresponding strict The measures resulted in a large number of infections in the hospital's medical staff. On March 17, Li was transferred to Dongzhimen Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, which caused a large area of pollution in the hospital. Within a week, Dongzhimen Hospital included Liu, the director of the emergency department. The 11 medical staff including Qingquan who were involved in the treatment all contracted SARS. Among them, the emergency doctor Duan Lijun and a nurse died unfortunately. Li Mou died of his illness on March 20 due to his advanced age. ”
Cheng Zhiyan held the newspaper in his hand and read a part of it to Xiaotu.
”I mean ... this SARS is contagious?” Little Rabbit heard something in the clouds, and it was clear from the newspaper that the Beijing thing was related to her mother.
”In simple terms, this is a form of pneumonia, but pneumonia as we know it before can be cured. The pneumonia nowadays is not only incurable, but it is also easily transmitted.”
Cheng Zhiyan looked at Xiaotu with a confused look. Although he was very reluctant to tell her about it, it was better to think about it:
”Now Guangdong and Beijing are the hardest hit areas of SARS infection. Many people went to Guangdong and Beijing to visit their relatives during the New Year's Eve. SARS was already spreading at that time, but it was not as serious as it is now. Let's Jiangsu Province ... ... There should be many people who have been to those two places ... ”
”The newspaper said that we are infected in Jiangsu Province?” Xiao Rabbit asked nervously immediately.
”Not yet, but a suspected case has been found.” Cheng Zhiyan bowed her head and touched her head softly.
”What is the suspected case?”
”It's the kind of initial symptoms that look like SARS, but haven't been diagnosed yet.” Cheng Zhiyan looked at her with some patience and slowly said, ”It's just ... even if it's suspect, it should be isolated in case. ”
”...”
After hearing it, the rabbit was silent.
Although she still had some clues about what SARS actually is, after hearing Cheng Zhi's words and thinking about her mother working in cardiopulmonary medicine, the rabbit's eyes suddenly turned red: ”Brother Orange Juice ... Yes Isn't my mother also quarantined ?? She is a doctor. Should a patient be a suspected case, should the patient and the doctor be quarantined together? ”
Cheng Zhiyan sighed softly: ”This ... I don't know.”
”What else was said in the newspaper?” Rabbit's heart panicked.
”On March 31, the Hong Kong government isolated an apartment (Block E) in Amoy Gardens. More than 100 people have been infected in the apartment. Residents of the apartment have since been transferred to a holiday centre and the apartment has been fully disinfected by the authorities The authorities believe that the spread of the disease is mainly related to the design of the housing structure. When patients in Ward 8A visited Block E, after using the toilet in the unit, it was allegedly possible to spread through excreta or wastewater. This incident is also worrying Whether the virus is likely to spread through the air, but the WHO has since denied it. ”
