Chapter 663 The wind is howling and the rain is pouring (3)
I don’t know when it got dark, I don’t know when the tea was replaced with milk, I don’t know when the lights came on, I don’t know when I ate the little cake, I don’t know when Leonie, Kang Si, Zhao Dan
, Qian Ziqiang, Zhang Guang, and Anna came to the study without knowing it.
"I've made everyone worried. I'm fine. It's like playing games and forgetting to eat while playing." Wang Ai looked at everyone happily.
The atmosphere in the study relaxed, and Liu Liang said with a smile: "It's not surprising that you were so absorbed in your work, but what's surprising is that you ate the cake, drank the milk and didn't remember it at all."
"Yeah, I'm not afraid of drinking it up my nose." Anna also smiled and said: "I can't do it anyway. When I'm in a trance, I often drink up the water, and then I raise the glass again and again to pretend to drink the water myself."
Wang Ai laughed with everyone, then rubbed his face, picked up the manuscript and read it himself, and then asked: "How is everyone's busy today?"
"All the scheduled work has been completed." Leonie said, "We just met when we were eating downstairs."
"Yeah." Wang Ai nodded: "Then, a new job is coming, here..."
"Doctor." Kangsi interrupted Wang Ai: "You go downstairs and have some food. It's been so long, and cake and milk alone won't do. You go and eat first, and we'll take a look first, okay?"
"Okay, I got hungry as soon as you said that." Wang Ai stood up, took a long breath, and came to the restaurant accompanied by Kang Si.
"Ah? Dumplings!" Wang Ai rubbed his hands and said with emotion: "You love me as much as my mother."
"Is it because I love you when I steam dumplings for you?" Kangsi smiled and said, "The ones stuffed with beef and radish."
"Okay!" Wang Ai took off the rag, opened the steamer, and took a deep breath of enjoyment: "Eating all the delicacies from the mountains and seas is still the most worrying thing about the New Year when I was a child. Kangsi... Wait for me tonight, you wait until I am full.
Understand."
Kangsi tilted her head: "If I had known earlier, I would have given you stuffed radish and cabbage to save you from tormenting me."
Wang Ai happily picked up the grate with chopsticks, grabbed the drawer cloth and shook it into a large plate. Three or two of them fell on the table. Kangsi hurriedly went to help. Wang Ai waved: "No, no, no," and grabbed it with her hands.
Pick it up and put it in your mouth.
"By the way, there are vegetables." Kangsi walked to the steamer and picked up a grate, took out a large bowl and placed it in front of Wang Ai: "Egg custard, more eggs but less water, you can cut it with a knife
of."
"I like to eat this kind of hard and chewy food." Wang Ai became even happier.
"There's more." Kangsi poured a bowl of seafood soup from a small pot on one side, and took out a plate of chicken breast from the microwave: "Build muscle."
Wang Ai lowered his head subconsciously, and then said in agreement: "That's right, I haven't trained much during this winter break, and I have gained weight."
Kangsi sat opposite Wang Ai with a smile, watching Wang Ai eat, and she felt hungry too...
"I'm not full yet!" Wang Ai looked at the empty table unhappy.
"Oh, it's so late. I have a meeting upstairs and I'm going to bed right after the meeting, so don't eat so much." Kangsi waved her hand: "I'm going to brush my teeth."
Wang Ai tidied up, went upstairs again, and asked everyone to wash up before meeting again.
"Now it can be basically confirmed based on all aspects of the situation." Wang Ai said in a serious tone in the living room on the third floor: "This is a disaster. As the epidemic spreads, many cities across the country, at least cities in Hubei, may be affected intermittently.
Lockdown. I have been studying the virus this afternoon. It is an airborne disease with a high infection rate and a high mortality rate. Wuhan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces. It is currently impossible to confirm how many people are infected. These infected people
What kind of transportation did you take, where did you disperse to, and who did you infect? To put it simply, it is completely impossible to confirm the chain of infection and the area of infection. In addition, it is also during the Spring Festival, and there is a huge flow of people in all directions during the Spring Festival, so I inferred that,
Eventually all cities across the country will be under lockdown."
Everyone listened seriously to Wang Ai's analysis, and based on their own exposure to the situation and simple reasoning, they completely agreed with this grim prospect.
"Once a large area is closed, there will inevitably be a shortage of materials. I am not worried about food, electricity, gas, and heating. Our country has enough reserves and the management of key departments is strict enough. After all, the virus cannot penetrate masks, especially medical ones.
Masks, this determines that once the lockdown begins and the chain of infection is cut off, the normal operation of key departments such as electricity, gas, and tap water will be guaranteed." Wang Ai relaxed a little when he said this: "Of course, they will be very hard.
When necessary, we may have to lock down people at their posts and live at their posts. Similarly, institutions related to national security such as national defense and diplomacy are also functioning normally, so our concern should be in other areas."
Leonie interjected: "Medicine and health, medical supplies."
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "One is sudden, and the other is large area. The former determines that we are not prepared, and the latter determines that the corresponding materials we usually reserve will be consumed explosively, so there will be a sudden shortage. For example, masks. In the afternoon, I checked the statistics of the Light Industry Federation in previous years. my country's daily production of masks is about 14 million. In addition to domestic consumption, most of them are exported. A rough estimate is that there are about 100 million masks stored in manufacturers and accumulated in the logistics process. .”
"However, masks are not a scarce item. Common people usually see them and use them a lot, so our families probably don't have much in reserve. At most, they only have two or three stuffed somewhere. Our epidemic prevention department may have some in reserve.
But at most it is about 100 million. And what is the current daily consumption?" Wang Ai asked and answered: "Although most cities have not implemented lockdown, the people are not stupid. The news in Wuhan is of concern to the whole people, and most people
Everyone should be buying and stocking up on masks. Most people who are traveling should also be wearing masks intermittently, probably only for a few days. According to the diligent and frugal habits of Chinese people, they may only change one once a week.
So what is the gap? There is a daily shortage of 186 million!"
While everyone took a deep breath, Wang Ai said even more seriously: "More importantly, I checked the information in the afternoon and found that ordinary masks will become ineffective in one day under the impact of the coronavirus. In other words, in the short term
It is possible to allocate inventory within the country and make up for it with external purchases, but in the long run, or once the news of infection spreads after wearing a mask, the consumption of masks will inevitably surge. Once medical experts come out to popularize masks, it is best to change them every day, and this gap will
It will become 1.4 billion! Comrades, 1.4 billion!”
There was a sudden gasp in the living room on the third floor.
