Plague Doctor

From August 2 to August 13, Chinese time, in just eleven days, the plague took the lives of more than two million people worldwide, with most of the patients dying in the first three days.

The desolate scenes in cities in epidemic areas around the world are similar. The once lively streets were lifeless, and no one could be seen. If it weren't for the presence of some epidemic control personnel, or there would be some stray animals foraging for food alone, looking for their deceased owners.

Outside the epidemic areas, people are also shrouded in the shadow of death, and their lives have become different.

Medical masks are on sale, various antibiotics are on sale, various disinfectants are on sale, mineral water is on sale, protective clothing is on sale...

In the past half a month, people all over the world have been talking about the same hot topic, about this plague.

"Jiahua, do you want to come out and play ball?"

"No, my mother will scold me to death if she finds out. Now in this situation, I'd better stay at home and surf the Internet."

Chen Jiahua is a senior high school graduate in Dongzhou City. He has been idle since the college entrance examination. He originally planned to travel domestically in early August, but now it is gone. That's it for the rest of the summer vacation. The news has been advising people to go out as little as possible during this period, while all large-scale events have been cancelled, and even movie theaters and other places have been closed.

But it’s really hard to stay at home. Because of the way Legionella spreads, don’t turn on the air conditioner.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to be so obedient. Most people just open their doors because they think the matter will not affect them. However, because Chen Jiahua's mother is a doctor at a health service station, due to her mother's expectations and her own interest, his university admission notice was for a five-year clinical medicine program at Jihua Medical University in this city.

Therefore, their family has not been sloppy in the prevention and control of Legionella. The air conditioner, shower, etc. have not been turned on recently.

It's probably because of this that the gloom hanging over their family is thicker than that of other families.

Now that this plague has emerged, every day we see in the news how many new patients and medical staff have died, and the whole family is very worried.

His parents wanted him to give up the admission notice from Jihua Medical University, repeat his studies for one year, and then take the college entrance examination next year, so that he would not become a doctor.

But Chen Jiahua doesn't want to, not because he has great ideals about wearing a white coat, but because he really doesn't want to go through the senior year of high school again. Thinking about living with Ti Hai every day and falling in love and killing each other makes his scalp numb, so it's better to let him Die now.

"Son, you don't know how hard it is to study medicine." My mother persuaded me, "If you study medicine, you will take the college entrance examination every day."

"That's not what you said last month." Chen Jiahua said back every time, "It's easier to find a job when you're out, and it's easier to find a partner as a doctor."

"Is it easy to find a partner?" Mom yelled, "If it were so easy to find a partner, I wouldn't marry your dad."

In fact, Chen Jiahua knew that his mother wanted him to study medicine before, purely because she had been a health station doctor for most of her life and was unwilling to accept it. Her income was quite stable, so she just wanted her son to succeed.

In the past few days, my mother stopped trying to persuade him, and instead spent the whole day sighing like Mrs. Xianglin, saying that she had harmed him, as if he was already in some kind of danger.

"Son, it's okay to repeat your studies for a year." My father kept urging me, "We are still young, we have to save our lives first, and then we can enjoy college."

Is this a question of whether you are young or not? Chen Jiahua was really too lazy to argue with them. He really couldn't do it again as a senior in high school, otherwise he would lose all his hair before he was twenty.

Although the epidemic is still far away from Dongzhou City, and the fearless spirit of medical staff has recently been praised by the whole country, the Chen Jiahua family, which has always regarded itself as a future medical family, has undergone such a change.

"Are you afraid of going out to play basketball? It's just the basketball court next to our community." A friend's dissatisfied voice came from the mobile phone, "Are you so timid? Our Dongzhou is not an epidemic area, so what are you afraid of? There was a flu last year, no. It’s still fine.”

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, there was a severe influenza outbreak in Dongzhou. At that time, the entire city was under control and could not access the Internet. People's communications were almost completely cut off. The rest of the country didn't feel the same. People in Dongzhou had been in fear for several months, and they didn't fully recover during the Spring Festival.

Now, half a year later, the situation has eased, and many people are even more adventurous.

"This time is different." Chen Jiahua sighed. "Two million people have died in the world. My mother has an old classmate who works as a doctor in the city hospital. People said this time is very serious. The last time the flu was nothing like this Bi, must not be underestimated.”

"Forget it, forget it, I'm so cowardly, it's up to you." The friend said and hung up the phone.

"Sometimes you can live longer if you are more cowardly." Chen Jiahua muttered, but the strange thing is, why is he not afraid of becoming a doctor?

It was so hot, so hot. He took his mobile phone to the balcony and sat down on a chair. While enjoying the natural cool breeze, he browsed the Internet for information.

Although the Internet is under strict control these days, it is still noisy. There are all kinds of news from domestic and foreign countries, and there are a lot of various opinions, some are true and some are false. There were even rumors that some countries were going to implement a total blockade, and important officials from all over the world fled to Greenland, Antarctica and other places.

But the news he told his friend was true, his mother did have that classmate.

Watching these epidemic news, Chen Jiahua felt uncomfortable, but look at the touching stories and pictures of the epidemic areas: teams of medical staff wearing protective suits, children with strong expressions on their faces, orderly People waiting to be evacuated...

He felt a strength in his heart again.

Although these pictures are definitely not the whole picture, the country wants to appease the people, so it makes such propaganda pictures.

After watching mainstream media news for a while, I checked social networking sites.

As soon as Chen Jiahua opened it, he was shocked to see the title of a new post pushed to him by the app: "Something big happened, a new Legionnaires' disease epidemic is suspected in Dongzhou!"

"What..." His heart suddenly swelled, and a chill suddenly came over him, making him feel a little numb... Epidemic? There is an epidemic here! ?

He quickly clicked on the post and saw that someone used his mobile phone to photograph a group of quarantined vehicles passing by on the street, and then put a group of people into the vehicle. The group of people were really weird, and they were all wearing strange linen clothes. He pulled it down to read the replies. Many Dongzhou netizens panicked, and their luck was easily shattered.

Now, the emergence of quarantine vehicles is almost equivalent to the emergence of an epidemic.

The more Chen Jiahua read this message, the more confused he became. He wanted to refresh and see the new replies, but found that the post had been deleted by the administrator.

"Ah, it can't be true..." He became more and more frightened and hurriedly searched for this situation everywhere, but nothing was shown.

Love the Plague Doctor.
