Chapter 489 The Real Situation
Tang Su saw that the news also reported the current situation in the hospital. The hospital was overcrowded, and the fever clinic and emergency room were crowded. The doctors, especially those in the respiratory and internal medicine departments, had been working overtime for many days in a row.
Tang Su frowned. After reading this news, he felt inexplicably solemn and even a little creepy.
She thought there must be many patients who had not been diagnosed, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in the hospital.
However, it is indeed the flu season now, and many people have fever and cough at this time of year in previous years.
Tang Su was watching TV when suddenly the doorbell rang.
Tang Su immediately pressed the pause button and walked to the door.
Of course she didn't open the door immediately, but instead watched what was happening outside through the surveillance camera.
After seeing someone standing outside, Tang Su immediately opened the door.
Xue Yao, who was standing at the door, was still wearing the school uniform of Changde Middle School. He was holding a bag of things in his hands and wearing a mask on his face.
Tang Su was a little surprised when he saw Xue Yao wearing a mask, because this was at home, not outside.
Wearing a mask here is too much.
Xue Yao looked at Tang Su, handed the item in his hand to Tang Su, and said, "Take this."
"What is it?" Tang Su took it with a smile, thinking that Xue Yao must have brought her some food.
However, when Tang Su looked down, he found two packs of masks and a pack of what appeared to be disposable gloves in the bag.
Tang Su shrugged and said with a smile: "Why are you giving me this? I'll go to the mall later. They sell masks there."
Tang Su knows that he should wear a mask when going out when an infectious disease is prevalent.
Xue Yao looked at Tang Su steadily. Seeing that Tang Su seemed calm, he shook his head and said, "Take these things. You probably can't buy masks in shopping malls, supermarkets, and pharmacies now. Then why don't you go out? The situation is much more serious than what is reported in the news. My mother hasn't been home for six days. She said that there are many suspected cases in the hospital that have not been confirmed. She has to see 30 to 40 patients with breathing difficulties and abrasion-like lesions in the lungs every day. The actual number of cases may be more than 10 times that reported."
"ah……"
Hearing this, Tang Su was stunned and looked at Xue Yao in surprise.
She had just watched the news broadcast, which said that the number of confirmed cases in Hai City was 198, and most of the cases occurred near the Nanhu District Seafood Market.
How could the actual number of cases be more than 10 times?
In this case, there may be patients in every area of the city.
"Xue Yao, please come in first."
Tang Su tugged at Xue Yao's sleeve.
She felt that Xue Yao seemed to be in a bad mood. Usually, he would have a smile on his face when he saw her, but at this moment, he looked solemn, as if he was worried about something.
Xue Yao walked into the room.
He had just returned from school, and he had grabbed these epidemic prevention supplies at a pharmacy on his way back.
Many people were buying masks in the pharmacy, and when he went to buy one, there were only a few packs left.
"Xue Yao, are you worried about your mother?" Tang Su poured a glass of water for Xue Yao.
Xue Yao took it, but only took a sip.
He paused and replied, "My mother said that the hospital does not have enough protective clothing, N95 masks, and goggles. Only doctors and nurses who are responsible for caring for and treating confirmed patients can wear protective clothing. Other doctors and nurses can only wear ordinary masks. And they have to work 12 hours a day and have no holidays because several doctors in their department are sick."
