Plague Doctor

In Jiangxing Town Hospital, the first batch of infected patients began a wave of deaths.

The same is true in other hospitals that treat patients in Shanhai City.

The same is true in many hospitals in cities around the world where outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease have occurred.

The death toll continues to rise, surging out of control. Not all hospitals in epidemic areas are currently out of control, but almost all hospitals in epidemic areas are unable to save lives. There are too many patients, too few medical staff, and not enough equipment.

In Dahua City, the Tianji Bureau Emergency Command Center, the excitement and joy of getting the effective medicine was gone, and there was only a suppressed silence.

Personnel from various departments looked at the surveillance images of hospitals in epidemic areas connected to different areas on the big screen. Some had red eyes and some lowered their heads.

That was not a scene anyone could bear to see, especially Jiangxing Town Hospital.

From the hospital lobby, to the emergency room, to the pharmacy, to the inpatient department, to the second and third floors... every corridor is full of patients, walking, calling, and searching.

There was also bloody phlegm, vomit, and other filth everywhere. The floor, walls, and patients' bodies stained everything and coated everything with a foul smell.

No one was cleaning up, and even though the patients were crying and screaming, no doctors, nurses or caregivers came to see what was going on.

Because those figures in white coats were no longer able to cough earlier, fell to the ground, and slumped in the corner.

At first, they tried their best to maintain order and shouted to everyone to calm down...but their condition became worse and worse, and their voices became weaker and weaker.

Death notices from medical staff continued to be sent to the command center. Dr. Huang Lin died, another emergency doctor Zhao Yutao died, and Dr. Zhang Bo who treated Wang Guoxin on duty and was later called back to the hospital also died...those emergency nurses They died, and the hospital's infectious disease department staff who responded to the situation immediately also died...

Some patients who still had strength began to attack the blockades at several entrances and exits of the hospital, and most of those responsible for the blockade were also coughing.

The entire hospital seemed to have become a huge morgue, filled with dead bodies and dying bodies.

The cold corpse no longer has the warmth of the skin, the warmth of love and exhaustion for life, the warmth of hope and confusion for the future.

There are things that have not been done that we will never have the chance to do, there are things that have not been said that we will never have the chance to say, and there are things that we have not seen that we will never have the opportunity to appreciate.

All the heat that once existed turned into decay and became empty.

No one knows about it, as if it has never been in this world.

"Director, we can't make it in time. The research ship still needs time."

At a leadership table in the command center, Yao Shinian and others were discussing with the director, "The highest level of epidemic control must be activated immediately and the entire territory is blocked. Otherwise, this disaster will definitely get even more out of control, and the whole country... Shanhai City Over there, we have to give up.”

In fact, starting from the afternoon, traffic such as flights and high-speed trains have been controlled, and the movement of people in some big cities has also been controlled.

The Division, however, is a different story.

Measures of this level are not something that the Tianji Bureau can decide whether to launch. The most that the Tianji Bureau can do is submit a proposal.

However, the current situation requires a nationwide lockdown, and the sooner the better.

The "No. 1 drug" has brought hope, but time is running out. Although the world is now cooperating, it is still difficult to analyze the molecular formula and structural formula of the drug, test the synthesis route and process, produce the raw material drug, and then make the preparation imitation... The entire process is expected to take a day or two, regardless of purity and quality.

This is based on the premise that everything goes well, but the scientific researchers are not particularly optimistic. The ingredients of this medicine are very complex.

Even if you take the raw material medicine directly - it cannot be called a medicine at all, it is just a bunch of compounds. It is unclear whether it is effective or has any toxic side effects.

That might take a day, too.

24 hours a day, with the spread and lethality of Legionella bacteria, a city can be destroyed in one day.

If the spread of the epidemic cannot be controlled now, even if there is a prescription by then, no one will be able to produce it.

"Giving up" Shanhai City is not an easy decision...

But in fact, when there is still a chance to save, choosing not to save between saving and not saving is called giving up.

The current situation is that they have no chance at all. This is not giving up, but a complete defeat.

It's just... that's a city with a population of three million.

"Let's report it right now."

The old director spoke with a clear voice. Even though Yao Shinian and others were already in their old age and had gone through many storms, they could not help but feel trembling at this moment.

Some decisions are not easy to make, but someone still needs to make them. There is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and now even air-tight protective clothing is in short supply. It’s not that they are willing to give up Shanhai City, it’s that other places also need manpower to operate, and those places that still have opportunities...

Some people in Shanhai City may survive, and some may produce valuable antibodies, but now they cannot prevent a city from going to destruction.

At the same time as the report was made, the command center issued an order to the front line:

"Everyone prepare to evacuate!"

"Problem team, please leave Jiangxing Town Hospital. A helicopter will transport you to the main ship. Please reply when you receive it."

In the inpatient department of Jiangxing Town Hospital, chaotic coughs and lamentations were still ringing. Uncle Dan and Peacock all heard the orders from the headquarters through the intercom.

"..." Gu Jun also heard it, but was unwilling to respond. He knew what evacuation meant.

He had just explored

In all the wards, everyone died, but no special patient was found who triggered his gnosis.

He wanted to save them all, he wanted to save all the patients here, but he only had 4 anti-inflammatory pills in his hand.

"Cough, cough..." He Feng next to him coughed violently. Gu Jun knew that this disease control expert had been sick for more than 12 hours and his condition had not yet reached an irreversible level.

The rapid implementation of disease control measures this time was inseparable from He Feng's high efficiency.

"Expert He." Gu Jun said calmly. He must save someone if he can. "Take a pill first and see how it works."

He Feng's pale face covered with sweat suddenly perked up and his eyes became brighter. It was the joy that came from having the hope of living.

"Doctor Gu, Doctor Gu..." He Feng burst into a series of violent coughs when he was excited, and had to turn his head and spit out a mouthful of bloody sputum towards the wall.

This is definitely not what disease control personnel should do. This kind of medical waste should not be handled like this...

But now, now, He Feng begged urgently: "Give me this medicine. I want to give it to my daughter. Ahem, she is only seven years old. She got sick less than two hours ago. She can survive more. It’s been a long time, can you let her eat? She and my wife are at home, my home is less than an hour’s drive from here, ahem..."

He Feng coughed so much that his face turned purple, "I'll take the medicine and drive back now. I still have three to five hours to move. I can go back, I can go back..."

Love the Plague Doctor.
