Chapter 283 Changes in a Family 【Seeking a Monthly Ticket
From August 2 to August 13, Chinese time, in just eleven days, this 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 are lifeless, and no more people can be seen. Either there are some epidemic control personnel, or there are some stray animals looking for food alone.
, looking for the master who has passed away.
Outside the epidemic areas, people are also shrouded in the shadow of death, and their lives have become different.
Medical masks are sold out, all kinds of antibiotics are sold out, all kinds of disinfectants are sold out, mineral water is sold out, protective clothing is sold out...
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 recommending that people go out as little as possible during this period.
, and all large-scale events have been cancelled, and even cinemas and other places have been suspended.
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 prescribe medication because they think the problem will not affect them. But because Chen Jiahua’s mother is a doctor at a health service station, out of her mother’s expectations and her own interests, she prescribed it.
The university admission notice is for the five-year clinical medicine program of Jihua Medical University in this city.
Therefore, their family's prevention and control of Legionella is not sloppy at all. The air conditioner, shower, etc. have not been turned on recently.
It is probably because of this that the gloom that hangs 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 didn't want to, not because he had great ideals about wearing a white coat, but because he really didn't want to go through the senior year of high school again. His scalp was numb just thinking about living with Ti Hai every day, so he might as well let him
Die now.
"Son, you don't know how hard it is to study medicine." My mother advised, "If you study medicine, you will take the college entrance examination every day."
"That's not what you said last month." Chen Jiahua contradicted him 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 working as 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 is too lazy to argue with them. He really can't go back to high school again, otherwise he will lose all his hair before he is twenty.
Although the epidemic is still relatively far away from Dongzhou City, and the fearless spirit of medical staff has recently been praised and nervous 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 very serious flu epidemic in Dongzhou. At that time, the whole 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 it. They Dongzhou people were
I have been on tenterhooks for several months, but I still haven’t fully recovered during the Spring Festival.
Now, half a year later, things have 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 say that 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 severe control these days, it is still noisy. There are all kinds of news at home and abroad, and there are a lot of various opinions, some are true and some are false. At one time, some countries even wanted to implement a total blockade, and important officials from all over the world fled to
Rumors about 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 in protective suits, children with strong expressions on their faces, all in order
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.
I watched mainstream media news for a while, and then 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 up, 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 him down.
Looking at the replies, many Dongzhou netizens panicked, and their luck was easily shattered.
Now, the emergence of quarantine vehicles is almost equal 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.
