Chapter 247: Don't panic

"Due to the outbreak of new legionella pneumonia in our city recently, martial law will be implemented throughout the city at 19:00 on August 3rd. Please return home as soon as possible, do not panic, and wait patiently for the evacuation arrangement ..."
On the TV screen, the male host's expression is very serious, his voice is solemn and generous, full of confidence to overcome difficulties.
In Shanhai, no matter which TV channel is opened, the signal is this breaking news report.
The network has been regulated, but city-wide mobile phones are receiving such SMS notifications, and there will be a new one after a while.
The notice starts at 2 pm and martial law is to be carried out at 7 pm. The time is very fast, which makes people both surprised and scared.
Some people immediately wanted to leave Shanhai City by car, no matter if they were going from abroad or were dragged away by their locals, they found without exception that all the entrances and exits had been controlled and the city was blocked.
Some people want to go to the supermarket to grab shopping money, but find that all supermarkets and large shopping malls are blocked and unable to enter.
In the news report, the host actually made it very clear.
Legionella is airborne and is produced in the natural environment and breeds in artificial water supply systems such as air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, hot and cold water systems. These systems expel contaminated aerosols, which can become infected when inhaled into the body, causing symptoms such as fever, sweating, difficulty breathing, and coughing.
Therefore, places like supermarkets and gymnasiums are the places that spread the most.
All air conditioners in the city should not be turned on immediately. Showers, humidifiers, etc. should also be deactivated. All artificial water supply systems should be deactivated. The city's major water cutoff will start at zero on the 4th. People are requested to store water, but it is best not to drink. If you want to drink it, you have to leave it for ten hours. If you have water, do not approach the faucet. Please persist until you evacuate. Do not panic.
The prevention and control personnel will first take away the infected and suspected infected persons in the city one by one, and then evacuate other people.
"Please stay patient at home." The host repeatedly stressed, "Don't panic."
This press release was clearly considered twice, to make the public understand that the situation is serious but not to panic. There is not even an "outbreak" but an "outbreak" in it.
People who study medicine have heard more strange things. In the past, Legionella was not so contagious. What does "new Legionella" mean?
Not everyone understands Legionella, but the severity of these emergency measures can be felt by everyone.
Li Mingqiu has graduated from University for six years, nearly thirty years old, and is a programmer in an IT company.
As soon as the citywide announcement came out in the afternoon, everyone in the company was in a state of panic. Everyone wanted to leave immediately, but the leader said that the guidance document made them try to stay in the company to wait for the evacuation, and those who walked back to the home as soon as possible were those walking on the street.
"If you have children to take care of, you can go first. Other people think for themselves. The traffic outside is very chaotic and there are many people. Going out and running is more likely to be infected."
This is true. Looking out from the window on the middle floor of this office building, pedestrians rushing on the street, the taxis just stop, and they are already on the verge of traffic paralysis.
Because Li Mingqiu is not a local, and he is not married or having a child, he shares an apartment with others. There is nothing good about going back, so he chose to stay in the company.
Half of my colleagues stayed, and not all of them left because of family, and some wanted to go to grab shopping money: "I don't know how long to wait for the evacuation. This germ can contaminate the water, and the mineral water will be robbed later." "Some people think it's not a big deal at all:" It's just scaring people, routines. "
The central air conditioner was turned off immediately. During the hot summer in August, the office immediately became terribly hot and the windows had to be closed as directed.
"This outbreak may be more serious than SARS ..."
"Yeah, the country must know that it is hasty, but it still does."
The office was sultry, and the ten people left were sitting in their seats. After the first excited discussion, it was dazed to say that there was no match.
At this time, Wei Xiaoru, who was talking to a doctor and classmate on the phone, put down his phone and yelled to the nervous crowd: "My classmate said that there are many kinds of Legionella bacteria. This time it should be a new bacteria. There is a difference. The prevention of Legionella bacteria is to open windows to maintain ventilation and not provide them with an ideal growth environment. "
"Then we still close the window?" Zhang Dawei exclaimed, this is also the doubt of Li Mingqiu and others.
Wei Xiaoru recalled: "The most important carrier of Legionella is the aerosol that the news said, but it can only spread to a space of 200 meters in radius with the wind and survive in tap water for more than an hour. Now we have to close the window, The water needs to be stopped again. My classmate said that there are only three possibilities. "
"One is this new type of Legionella bacteria, which has more variety of carriers, greater spread, and longer survival time in the water; the second is that the disease control side believes that Shanhai City has been everywhere ... all contaminated. And there is, The first two may be true. "
Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't understand medicine well, they all understood how severe this was.
Spread with the wind? Spread with tap water? People always breathe and drink water.
"The whole city has been polluted?" Zhang Dawei expressed angrily. "How did it happen, and his mother concealed the report, and only after evacuating it?"
"My classmate said ..." Wei Xiaoru was also at a loss, "This epidemic may develop very quickly, and even the country is caught by surprise."
Everyone was worried and anxious, but they could only wait. At seven o'clock in the evening, an alarm sounded over the city and martial law began.
They looked out the window of the office, the streets had long been silent, only the disease control vehicles and martial law vehicles that had appeared since the afternoon passed by on the road from time to time, and there were also teams of disease control personnel wearing white protective clothing, Take the individual people who are still wandering outside and take them away.
But the news has long said that contact with disease control personnel has a greater risk of infection ~ EbookFREE.me ~ So don't go out and be arrested intentionally.
Moreover, it was not taken away from Shanhai City, but taken away for examination. Once the infection was suspected, isolation and treatment were required.
After the alarm sounded, a broadcast sound was heard again over the city: "Please return home as soon as possible ..."
The news also said that if you find any people around you who have suspected symptoms such as constant coughing, please stay away from the suspected patient immediately and call the helpline. If you experience symptoms, please call the hotline immediately to get treatment as soon as possible.
Why should the patient be withdrawn before others?
Li Mingqiu pondered this problem for an afternoon, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that in addition to the lack of manpower, the entire Shanhai City should be polluted ...
There is an incubation period for this disease. Whoever carries the germs and who does not bring it can't be seen. A patient can expand the scope of contamination and infect thousands of other people.
Therefore, it is not possible to evacuate casually. It is time to let the patients show themselves first, so as to determine where Shanhai City is still clean.
Maybe only healthy people in clean areas will finally get evacuated ...
Everyone was silent. Suddenly, at this time, a colleague Lin Mingda who was sitting in his office chair and talked a lot suddenly coughed: "Cough, cough ...
All of a sudden, they all turned around and looked around, only to see that Lin Mingda's complexion didn't know when it became a bit ugly.
When it was over, Li Mingqiu's heart tightened, and his body seemed to collapse. Wei Xiaoru beside him also turned pale.
"Ah!" Zhang Dawei stepped back a few steps and said in a panic: "Call someone, call ..."
"I, I ..." Lin Mingda wanted to say, but just coughed more violently: "I, cough ..."
