Amidst gasps of surprise, their door was slammed shut, cutting off everyone's view.
People rushed to the window and watched as Uncle Wu was quickly carried away on a stretcher by the staff.
Tents have been erected on the open spaces near the dock.
You can see fully armed staff carrying stretchers, carrying people who are coughing inside.
Seven's heart sank to the bottom.
Judging from this, it's clear that a serious infectious disease has broken out.
In this era, once an infectious disease breaks out, the fate of those on islands with poor medical conditions is predictable, given the firstly natural geographical environment and the recent spate of typhoons.
Secondly, there are basically no dedicated hospitals on the island, only one clinic. The clinic is considered good if it has some medicine for headaches and fevers; nothing else is available.
Thirdly, needless to say, their location is extremely far from the nearest place with the best medical care.
Moreover, the island's inhabitants are largely isolated from the outside world.
Now we don't even know where to ask for help.
Now, these medical personnel have sealed off the entire island, and you can see the isolation tents that have been set up.
Although people have already been carried into these tents, from Seven's perspective...
There were simply not enough rescue measures, and we had no idea what kind of virus it was or what the source of the infection was.
How can it be treated casually?
Since we don't know the nature of the virus, medical treatments are completely ineffective.
Besides, only a medical team has been sent from the county town, and nobody knows exactly what this medical team can do.
Because only 72 hours have passed since the phone call.
The county's epidemic prevention station and people's hospital probably only have so many medical resources available.
Just then, someone next to Seven started coughing again. Upon hearing the cough, everyone was terrified and quickly moved aside.
Half an hour later, the person coughing next to Qi Zai was also taken away, and everyone in the room was now quarantined.
Aside from those who did not have an outbreak of illness, anyone with a headache, fever, cough, or sneezing was immediately taken to an outside tent.
Because Qi Zai is a child, it's impossible to lock him up with these adults, so Qi Zai received special treatment and was locked up in another tent.
He has only one child so far.
Medical staff had to take his temperature every two hours and conduct examinations and inquiries.
So far, Qizai has not shown any signs of coughing or infection.
That's because Seven immediately put on a talisman as soon as he realized he seemed to have a fever.
Only after this talisman was applied did I feel much better. Just now, I felt like I was being crushed under a mountain, and even breathing felt very heavy.
After 24 hours, Qi Zai showed no symptoms and was immediately released back into the wild.
When Qi Zai returned to the office, he discovered that the original 11 people in the office were gone. No wonder they let him go back.
This place has been thoroughly disinfected, and you can see many traces of disinfection on site.
Qi Zai pressed the medical staff who brought him back for details.
"Sister, where are those uncles who came with me?"
The medical staff pointed with sympathy to the tents outside.
They're all there.
Da Bao, you need to stay here obediently. Auntie has prepared water and food for you. You need to be good, don't run around, and don't go out.
Otherwise, you might get infected with a disease.
Just like them.
Qi Zai panicked a little. The dozen or so people who came with him had only been in contact with the villagers for a short time.
As a result, everyone except himself was infected.
He wasn't infected; it was just because he used certain methods.
This is incredibly contagious.
"Sister, how exactly did we get infected? Was it through the air?"
The nurse was a little surprised when she heard the child ask such professional terms.
"Dabao, our current conclusion is that it is transmitted through the air, so you must wear a mask from now on."
If airborne transmission is prevented, people will be safe and sound.
"Dabao, be a good boy/girl. Here's a mask for you. Wear it and stay in this room. Don't go out, okay?"
Seven nodded obediently, but he didn't take it seriously. It was obvious that the staff hadn't found the source of the infectious disease yet.
If this continues, even with the village under quarantine, people will keep falling ill one after another. Judging by the severity of Uncle Wu's condition, this isn't a simple infectious disease.
As night fell, Qi Zai drew the curtains and looked out through the crack in the window.
The lights outside were flashing, but since the lights on his side were off, everyone assumed the little guy was asleep.
Outside, medical staff hurried in and out of the tent, amidst the sounds of coughing and painful howls.
"Doctor, doctor, I feel so tightness in my chest, I can't take it anymore, I can't breathe."
"Doctor, please save me, please save me!"
Hearing these voices, everyone felt a wave of despair wash over them. Everyone knew that doctors currently had no effective treatment options.
Aside from giving them some cough medicine, it did absolutely nothing, and even after they finished taking the cough medicine, it didn't stop their coughing.
Seven saw that there was no one on the road now; everyone was busy.
So he quietly opened the back window, jumped outside by holding onto the window frame, and then closed the window again.
Under the cover of darkness, he chose a spot where the lamplight couldn't reach and quietly moved to the tent in the shadows.
He stuck a talisman on the back of the tent, and immediately everything inside the tent flashed before his eyes like an unobstructed screen.
The fifth uncle and three other fishermen who came with him are locked in this tent.
The four of them were lying on the cots with pained expressions, especially Uncle Wu, who had blood at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had just vomited blood.
He had fallen into a coma, especially with many bloody cuts on his neck.
Those bloody marks were clearly scratches made by fingernails.
The other three people were also asleep, but they kept coughing in their sleep.
Qi Zai went to check on the other tents, and now there were ten tents in total, densely packed together.
Each tent has four people, making a total of more than 40 people. Apart from the 11 people who came with the fishing boat, the rest are all villagers.
It's important to understand that this is only a portion of the villagers who have been infected so far.
Some of the villagers were already dead, and those bodies were placed in two other tents.
The doctors over there are performing autopsies, fully equipped with protective gear.
