Old Xu explained the list of patients he had seen in the past few days and their conditions to Ye Yunyi in detail.
"This is similar to but different from the previous coronavirus. It is probably a new type of virus that we have never seen before. But our medical resources are limited right now, so we can only treat the symptoms first. It is not clear whether there is an incubation period, which is about two days. People are starting to get sick one after another, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe."
"I'm helpless. I prescribed medicine, but it only made them feel better; it couldn't cure them. I guess we'll still need to use some Western medicine methods in conjunction with it."
Ye Yunyi compiled the list and found that about 15 people were sick. Many of them were families with two members.
"Mr. Ye, what's the situation with these families? Did they all fall ill at the same time or one after the other?" Ye Yunyi asked, suppressing her anxiety.
“Some of these cases occurred at the same time, but more often they occurred sequentially. In this family, Old Xie fell ill first, followed by his grandson. In Old Zhang’s family, his wife fell ill first, followed by him. In Old Lin’s family, the grandson and grandmother fell ill at the same time.”
As they talked, Old Xu realized something was amiss: "You mean?"
“Yes, it’s contagious, Mr. Xu. We need to take immediate action,” Ye Yunyi said decisively.
She quickly used her phone to post the names of the sick people in the management group, asking Zhao Yong to check what had happened two days prior. She also instructed Xiao Fang to take people to clean up a remote, uninhabited villa. She asked Liu Guoqing and Old Xu to find all available disinfection supplies.
I also notified everyone in the group chat to take precautions and isolate themselves. From now on, everyone should stay at home and not go out. Please raise any needs in the group chat.
If you still have disinfection supplies at home, be sure to disinfect them immediately. If there is a sick person at home who needs care, be sure to wear gloves and a mask; if possible, go fully equipped with protective gear.
This news, though it will make everyone anxious, must be implemented immediately.
We've all been studying and working together these past few days, and we even came to see her together just now. If there's any infection, this cross-infection has already spread quite a bit.
Seeing Ye Yunyi's arrangement, Old Xu frankly regretted it. He had clearly suspected it was the virus, but he hadn't taken any isolation measures. Ye Yunyi didn't blame him; isolation and transmission are like a ticking time bomb, and without proper coordination, things would only get chaotic.
Fortunately, everyone is very efficient and once the tasks were assigned, they were completed quickly.
Xiaofang cleaned up four buildings that were far from where everyone lived and used them as a temporary hospital.
Zhao Yong also led his men to investigate the situation of the people on the list. Two days ago, all of these people had been in contact with the same person, Duan Yuxin. She ran out and started cursing. Some people went to persuade her, while others watched the commotion.
Duan Yuxin, Ye Yunyi thought of this name. Three days ago, the family had just returned to the community.
Liu Guoqing also reported that they currently have several hundred liters of alcohol, which can be used for disinfection. They don't have many masks; these are some that everyone had stored up during the mask-wearing period, and they brought some back with them.
There were some medicines, not many, which they got from the health center. When they went there, the health center had already been ransacked, and there weren't many supplies left. They packed them all up and brought them back. Old Xu needs to go and take a look.
After ensuring the sick family members and the security team were properly protected, Ye Yunyi arranged for all the sick to move to Building 4. She also had the group leaders collect protective supplies and distribute them. She asked Old Xu to write some important preventative prescriptions for the canteen, which were then prepared and distributed to everyone.
Then, Chen Yu and Gao Fei were instructed to start the hydroelectric generator, prioritizing power supply to Building 4 and other households without electricity. Building 4 was given special attention to ensure timely communication and to facilitate assistance with any information or notifications in the group chat.
For families with sick members, each family provides one caregiver. When there aren't enough people, several people with nursing and medical knowledge are hired from the community at high salaries to provide care.
This time, the majority of those infected are the elderly and children, and the young people are those who don't look very healthy. It seems that although the virus is terrible, as long as the immune system is strong enough, it can be resisted. Thinking of this, Ye Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, she would have managed to survive until now, only to be taken down by the virus in one fell swoop.
They were so busy that it was past midnight before they finally had time to go to the canteen for dinner. Liu Qingguo and several cooks had prepared the meal and were waiting for everyone.
Ye Yunyi thanked them for their hard work and then arranged for them to go back and rest. She emphasized the importance of taking special precautions.
Ye Yunyi has already informed her parents and other family members, including Ye Yunjuan, to move to Building 38 and avoid contact with Ye Yunyi and her family.
At this moment, Ye Yunyi and the other two could not back down. If something unexpected happened, at least one young person had to stay by their side. Otherwise, what would happen to the old and the young? This was also a selfish thought of hers.
She felt extremely sorry for Wang Ma and her nephew, as she had originally wanted them to come up here and live a good life, but unexpectedly this happened.
When the three of them got home, they quickly washed up and disinfected themselves, then collapsed onto the sofa as if all their strength had been drained.
But while everyone else could rest immediately, the three of them couldn't. After lying down for a while, Ye Yunyi struggled to get up and said, "I suspect that this was brought back by Boss Li's family."
“Yes, I have already gone to see them. Mr. Li’s two elderly people, two children, and Duan Yuxin are all sick,” Zhao Yong said. “Moreover, they should have had some symptoms the day they came back. The two elderly people were obviously not in good spirits and I didn’t see them say a word. In fact, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let them in.”
"No, it's not your fault. Nobody could have predicted it," Ye Yunyi immediately comforted her.
“Yes, Zhao Yong doesn’t blame you. They were just too wicked. He came back sick,” Wang Zixiang said. Since taking revenge on Boss Zhong and Shi Zhancai, Wang Zixiang had become much more righteous and indignant.
"Fortunately, this virus only makes people with weak immune systems more susceptible to infection; those with strong immune systems are fine. We'll probably have to organize a trip to the hospital tomorrow," Ye Yunyi said.
“Okay. I’ll organize them to go tomorrow,” Zhao Yong said.
"Yes, yes, the villa area will be left to Zixiang. We are desperately short of medical supplies and medical personnel," Ye Yunyi sighed.
"If only I hadn't given up on medicine back then," Ye Yunyi murmured. "Actually, from the very beginning when we were taking stock of the supplies, I knew we were short of medicine, but I didn't go because it was so far away." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, it's not your fault. You've done a great job, and we've done a great job too. We'll go the same way tomorrow. What we stockpiled before might not even be useful, right?" Wang Zixiang put his arm around Ye Yunyi's shoulder to comfort her.
“Yes, sister. You’ve done a great job. I was always in a rush when you were gone for more than 10 days. But look, everything is sorted out as soon as you come back. Everything will be alright,” Zhao Yong comforted her.
"Mmm. Thank you all." Ye Yunyi wiped away her tears shyly and said, "I was scared. I really don't know what to do about the virus and getting sick. But there's always a way out, we'll definitely find a solution."
"It's getting late, let's all go and get some rest. We have to leave tomorrow."
