Wan Feng vaguely remembered that it was at the end of this month, but he couldn't remember the exact date, that an American businessman contracted a strange disease in Hanoi, southern Guangdong. A World Health Organization doctor reported to the WHO that a highly contagious disease had occurred in the area, and SARS officially appeared before the world.

The patient died on March 14, and the WHO doctor died on March 29.

In fact, before this, people in Dongguan Province had already been infected with the disease. The first person infected with SARS did not receive enough attention because he was discharged from the hospital after recovery.

A warm-up match of the national football team was held as scheduled on February 12.

Luo Dayou's 2003 Guangzhou concert on February 18 was not postponed for any reason.

People were doing what they were supposed to do, not realizing how terrible SARS was.

Whether it was called SARS or SARS, it did not attract enough attention.

But it was not until March that SARS attracted sufficient attention after the World Health Organization issued a global warning.

The impact of SARS on China was enormous. Wan Feng clearly remembers that people wore masks, drank isatis root, and tried not to go out unless it was important.

When talking to people, I stay quite far away and never take off my mask.

The price of isatis root, which originally cost one or two cents, was now sold for several yuan a pack. Wan Feng even drank a pack in his previous life.

After realizing that this thing was really unpalatable, I refused to drink it no matter what.

At that time, not to mention the cities, even the defenses in the rural areas were at the combat readiness level.

People from other villages are not allowed to enter the village, and villagers who have gone out to work are not allowed to enter the village when they return. They must be examined in the hospital to confirm their health before returning to the village.

People were really in panic during that period. If someone caught a cold or a fever, it would be like the end of the world.

Although in Wan Feng's memory, no one in Heilongjiang Province among the three northeastern provinces was infected, there were three cases in Beiliao without any deaths.

But what is puzzling is that Linji Province, sandwiched between Heilongjiang and Beiliao, has more than 30 cases and six or seven deaths, which is really strange.

From March to July, the public was in a state of considerable tension and panic during these four months.

Of course, consumption was also at its lowest level during this period.

As soon as he thought of this, Wan Feng immediately convened a meeting of the group's senior management and revised the group's production plan for this year in half a day.

Production capacity in all areas has been reduced to the maximum extent possible, and preventive measures have been implemented within the group.

All business trips, regardless of where they are, will be postponed, and all business trips to the capital will be cancelled.

The decision of Nanwan Group was also distributed to Xiwan, Guangwan, Chengnan and Tiannan.

Of course, he sent it to them for reference, and he had no right to interfere whether they changed the plan or not.

Actually, preventing SARS isn't a complicated matter. It primarily involves cultivating and maintaining good personal hygiene. Wash your hands frequently and dry them with a clean towel or tissue. Wash your hands after sneezing, coughing, and cleaning your nose. Avoid sharing utensils, tea sets, and towels. Eat a balanced diet. Exercise regularly, add or remove clothing according to weather conditions, and get enough rest to avoid excessive fatigue and strengthen your immune system. Stay away from crowded, poorly ventilated public places.

At this time, Chinese medicine played a huge role. It can be said that when the virus appeared and there was no cure in the world, Chinese medicine developed anti-disease drugs at the fastest speed and killed SARS in the cradle in just three months.

At this point, Chinese medicine began to truly become known to the world.

But it was from 2003 that articles slandering Chinese doctors began to appear in public opinion, and the situation became overwhelming. Before Wan Feng was reborn, such articles still appeared from time to time in the forum.

The effect of these articles that discredit Chinese medicine is quite obvious. Coupled with the instigation of some Chinese medicine scammers and charlatans in society, not only did the general public believe them, but even some Chinese medicine doctors switched to Western medicine.

There is a village doctor in the Shanzui team of Wulu Town. His family is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Minor illnesses can be cured with just one or two prescriptions of Chinese medicine, but later on he even started giving injections and IV drips.

This is truly a tragedy.

I'll feel sad after SARS is over. I don't have time to think about this now.

Nanwan Group's preventive measures are quite easy to implement. All the manufacturers in the Jiangwei Industrial Park have canceled their business trips in the near future. Even if the enterprises stop production, they cannot violate this regulation.

The next step is to strictly control the entry of outsiders into the Jiangwei Industrial Park, and these personnel must undergo strict inspection before entering the Jiangwei Industrial Park.

Wan Feng immediately bought professional protective clothing from the military and gave one set to each staff member of Jiangwei Hospital.

The responsibility of checking outsiders lies on them, and their own safety must of course be put first.

It is easier to deal with the Nanwan Industrial Zone. After all, they are all corresponding enterprises. As long as we say hello to each other, a lot of unnecessary people coming to Jiangwei will be reduced.

Fortunately, many things can now be solved by phone and payments can be made through bank cards, which reduces the need for a lot of people to come and go.

All public places in Jiangwei began to be disinfected, and during those months, wherever you went, you could smell the disinfectant.

Things in the industrial zone are easy to handle, but things in the Wahou Market are difficult.

There is a big market in Jiangweiyouwahou, and thousands of people come here to purchase goods every day, making it very difficult to guard against them.

This can only be checked one car at a time.

There is definitely not enough staff at Jiangwei Hospital, so the security company comes in handy at this time.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Han Guangjia immediately dispatched 600 security personnel to assist in the inspection of the people at Jiangwei Hospital.

Then, 200,000 copies of the SARS prevention measures were printed. Except for the ones that Jiang Wei kept for himself, the rest were given to the Hongya City Health and Epidemic Prevention Station.

Although Wan Feng knew that there were only three cases in northern Liaoning and they all appeared in western Liaoning, it was better to be prepared.

He was not creating a tense atmosphere, because a few days after he took these measures, the country began to introduce policies and started to prevent SARS right down to the village level.

SARS had a huge impact on China's economy. From the beginning of the SARS outbreak to July 13, when the global SARS alert was lifted, the economy fell into a state of slow development.

People felt uneasy for a long time after the SARS epidemic was lifted.

During these four months, although Nanwan Group's production did not stop, the output was limited.

People are staying at home and dare not go anywhere. Apart from daily necessities, no one is interested in consumer goods.

There are fewer people at the Wahou Market. Very few people come to buy goods, and the most popular items bought by those who come to buy goods are masks and some simple gas masks.

Anyone who seizes the opportunity to make masks and gas masks now can make a small fortune.
