The government also arranges for relevant virus experts to educate people every day on more effective methods for reducing fever and clearing phlegm.
For example, methods to reduce fever include bleeding from the ear tip, bleeding from behind the ear, and bleeding from the finger.
Methods to expel phlegm include massaging acupoints such as Fenglong, Taiyuan, and Feishu.
After being adopted by netizens, these methods were found to effectively alleviate the symptoms of infected patients, although they could not cure the virus.
Two weeks later, reports began to emerge from hospitals and online that the group of people who were initially infected with the virus had gradually recovered.
Based on the test results of these recovered patients, authoritative experts speculated that this sudden virus outbreak was actually a self-limiting disease.
Once these remarks were posted online, they significantly reduced people's fear of the virus.
Xu Lai's roommate group and class group were then active again.
It's probably because her classmates are all young people with good physical condition, and they are also very vigilant and take good precautions.
No one infected with this virus is currently in life-threatening condition.
"Lai Lai, thank goodness for your reminder, otherwise we would have had to eat noodles and rice every day during the lockdown!"
Their dorm room has stocked up on a lot of self-heating hot pot, instant noodles, hot and sour noodles, and other semi-finished foods, which have greatly improved their lives.
"Yeah, Lai Lai, you're really our dorm's lucky charm!"
"Lai Lai, let me give you a kiss!"
When Xu Lai saw the messages sent by her three roommates, Liu Xing, Leng Jia, and Li Lan, in the roommate group, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Over the next two weeks, those infected with the virus will gradually recover, but after the two weeks are over, an unpredictable apocalyptic rainstorm will quietly descend.
Xu Lai thought for a moment, then typed a message in the roommate group: "This sudden virus is not simple. After the lockdown is lifted, if you can go home, try to go back to your hometown. Also, remind your families to stock up on food while you can still buy things!"
Liu Xing, Leng Jia, and Li Lan, who were chatting on their dormitory beds, all glanced at Xu Lai's long bouquet of flowers.
The four of them had been living together in the dormitory for over a year. Because they got along well and always went out together, they understood Xu Lai's personality quite well.
She is definitely not a meddlesome person.
In those short two weeks, she earnestly reminded them to stock up on supplies, and the first time they obediently stocked up on food and drinks, the entire city was immediately placed under lockdown.
The news circulating online clearly states that most of the people who were initially infected with this wave of the virus are already slowly recovering on their own.
The next step is simply to prevent healthy people from getting infected with this wave of the virus. Why is Xu Lai still reminding them, and even asking them to remind their families, to continue stockpiling goods?
After thinking for a few seconds, the three of them pulled out their parents' phone numbers and started calling to remind them to stock up on food and water.
Ten minutes later, Xu Lai saw that her three best friends in the roommate group had all replied with an "OK" emoji, and she nodded in satisfaction.
No wonder she's Xu Lai's best friend; they both listen to advice!
In the latter half of the month, Xu Lai learned from the internet and television news that the virus had been gradually brought under control.
As fewer and fewer people became infected, the cheers in online short videos grew louder and louder.
By mid-May, all municipal government departments had announced a complete lifting of restrictions, but advised people to still wear masks when going out.
Now that the government has announced the lifting of the lockdown, Xu Lai and her family spend the rest of their time outside their home, except for watering the vegetables and crops in the space and feeding the poultry and livestock.
Early the next morning after the lockdown was lifted, Xu Lai, who was still in bed, received a video from her three roommates.
"Lai Lai, the three of us have all taken leave. We're leaving for our hometown today!"
Xu Lai looked at the youthful and beautiful faces of her three roommates and best friends on her phone screen and quietly said goodbye to them.
"Take care on your journey, my friends!"
After hanging up the video call, Xu Lai felt a little sad.
Because she knew that the days to come would no longer be peaceful.
Since the lockdown has been lifted, the property management company no longer buys things for the residents of the community.
After being locked down for a month, people went crazy as soon as the lockdown was lifted, all going out to shop and eat.
To avoid attracting attention, Xu Lai and her family also wore masks and went for a walk.
Xu Lai was woken up by the heat in the early hours of the second day after the lockdown was lifted.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, got up and turned on the light, and then heard noises coming from the living room.
"Second Uncle, Mom and Dad, you woke up from the heat too?"
Xu Lai opened the door and saw her mother in the living room holding the air conditioner remote and pressing the buttons, while her second uncle and father were closing the windows.
"Why did the weather suddenly become so hot? Lai Lai, quickly turn on the air conditioner in your room too!"
Upon seeing her daughter first, Song Qiu'e hurriedly offered words of concern and advice.
Xu Jiangming, wiping his sweat, looked at his eldest granddaughter and said, "Lai Lai said before that a rainstorm disaster was coming soon? Generally, there are sudden changes in the weather before a major natural disaster!"
Xu Haiguo was getting a little irritated by the sweltering heat.
He listened to everyone's words but didn't want to say a word. His brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked as if they could trap a mosquito!
Xu Lai took out her phone and checked the temperature. The weather app on her phone showed 39°C.
The temperature reached a staggering 39°C in the early morning, something that has never happened before in City C, a city in central China.
The house has four rooms. Since the room where Xu Jiangming lives did not have an air conditioner installed, Song Qiu'e turned on the floor-standing air conditioner in the living room.
"Second Uncle, it's still early. Go back and get some more sleep. Don't close your door; the air conditioning from the living room will circulate into your room soon!"
Xu Jiangming glanced at the wall clock; it was only one in the morning. He nodded and walked to his room with his hands behind his back.
Just as he was about to step inside, he turned around and told everyone, "If you feel anything is wrong, wake everyone up as soon as possible!"
This old man is indeed a veteran; he's more alert than the average person.
Xu Lai couldn't help but give her second uncle a thumbs up once again.
"Don't worry, Second Uncle, we know!" Xu Haiguo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
After "shooing" Xu Lai back to her room, Song Qiu'e gently pushed open her son's bedroom door.
Seeing that the air conditioner was on in her son's room, she quietly closed the door to her son's room and turned off the lights in the living room.
The family of five then lay down comfortably.
Xu Lai slept soundly until dawn.
She opened her eyes, took out her phone, and found that whether it was in her classmates' group chat, her neighborhood group chat, or on her short video app, everyone was complaining about the hot weather.
