"Ajin, are you okay? Is the virus contagious? You..." Seeing Qin Zijin coming out of the room, Tang Can excitedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and stared at her carefully for a long time.
Qin Zijin's face was full of helplessness. "I'm fine. You know my abilities, how could anything happen to me?"
"This virus is indeed contagious, but it's not very contagious. It can only be transmitted through close contact."
"The early symptoms are fever and rashes all over the body. In the later stages, the fever will not subside, and the rashes will turn into pustules like Shunan's. The pustules will burst, and the skin on the body will rot."
"This process is quite painful. I suspect this virus is carried by some kind of animal, but there is no way to confirm it now."
Qin Zijin briefly explained the virus situation to Tang Shen, then continued, "Let's go back immediately. The caregiver who came into contact with Shun'an also needs to be isolated to prevent him from coming into contact with more people and causing a large-scale spread."
Tang Shen nodded, and without delay, the two of them immediately returned to the guesthouse.
When we returned to the guesthouse, we found that Zhang Yu, who had had close contact with Shunan and had contact with many people, had already begun to show early symptoms.
When Qin Zijin and Tang Can arrived at the guesthouse, he had a fever in his room, but the temperature was not too high, just around 38 degrees.
"Ajin, it looks like Boss Zhang has been infected, and the nurse who takes care of Shunan is probably infected as well." Tang Can looked at Zhang Yu worriedly.
Qin Zijin also had close contact with Shunan, and he couldn't help but worry that Qin Zijin would be infected.
After all, she has a baby in her belly, and during pregnancy, her resistance and immunity will decrease to varying degrees.
If infected, the symptoms may be severe and may endanger the baby in the womb.
Moreover, the symptoms Qin Zijin described would cause the skin on the body to ulcerate, and he didn't want Qin Zijin to suffer such torture and harm.
"Well, put on this, gloves, and a mask, and put them on for me. Go ask Boss Zhang where the caregiver lives. If he has a large family, bring his whole family over. Before confirming that they are not infected with the virus, they cannot be allowed to go out and contact other people to avoid secondary infection." Qin Zijin nodded, gave Tang Can a few instructions, and handed the protective suit and mask to Tang Can.
Tang Shen put on his clothes and a mask before going to Zhang Yu's room.
Zhang Yu felt very uncomfortable at the moment, his whole body was itchy, and the red rashes were so itchy that he could not bear it.
Tang Can was shocked to see Zhang Yu scratching his arm until the skin was broken.
Looking at Tang Shen, Zhang Yu said uncomfortably, "Boss Tang, I, I feel like I'm about to die. I feel like I'm being roasted on a fire..."
"Answer me first. After you came into contact with Shunan, did you have any contact with other people? The kind of physical contact? Also, where does the caregiver who takes care of Shunan live? It's very important." Tang Can asked Zhang Yu with a serious expression.
Zhang Yu felt very uncomfortable. Not only did his whole body feel itchy, but even his throat felt itchy. He wanted to cough and scratch his throat.
After hearing Tang Can's words, he recalled carefully and then told Tang Can one by one about the people he had come into contact with.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu had not had physical contact with many people, and only his family members had physical contact with him, especially his youngest daughter. Because Zhang Yu always doted on his youngest daughter, she had the most contact with him.
After Tang Shen got the address, he rushed to pick the person up without stopping.
The nurse has started to get sick, with a scary red rash all over her body.
The family was planning to send the person to the hospital to see what was going on when Tang Shen arrived.
After explaining the general situation to the other party, the caregiver and his family were taken to the guesthouse.
Each person has a separate room.
After picking up the caregiver and his family, Tang Can immediately went to pick up Zhang Yu's wife and daughter.
Zhang Yu lives with his wife, son and daughter in a residential complex not far from the guesthouse.
When Tang Shen arrived, Zhang Yu's youngest daughter, Zhang Zhenzhen, had already started to have a fever, and rashes of varying degrees appeared on her face and body.
Zhang Yu's wife was extremely anxious and was planning to call the guesthouse to ask Zhang Yu to come back and take their daughter to the hospital.
Tang Shen looked at Zhang Zhenzhen's condition. Fortunately, the attack just now was not too serious.
Zhang Zhenzhen is only three years old. Once a child feels itchy, he or she cannot control himself or herself and will definitely scratch. Who knows what will happen to the child by then.
After briefly explaining the situation to Zhang Yu's wife, Tang Can successfully took the three of them to the guesthouse.
Zhang Yu's wife Liu Fen wanted to go see Zhang Yu, but was stopped by Tang Shen. Because the two children were young and needed someone to take care of them, the three of them were arranged to stay in a suite.
After making all the arrangements, Tang Can went to Shunan's room to meet Qin Zijin.
Qin Zijin was also wearing protective clothing, goggles, gloves, and a mask, fully armed.
This virus is quite lethal, and the risk of infection is quite high. Although she thinks she is quite strong, she doesn't want to take risks with her body.
"Ajin, I've brought everyone back." Tang Shen heaved a sigh of relief when he walked in and saw that Qin Zijin had taken precautions.
"Go ask them first if they have had any contact with other people in the past two days, especially physical contact or intimate contact. Be sure to ask clearly." Qin Zijin gave the order with a serious expression.
Tang Shen nodded. He originally wanted to remind Qin Zijin to be careful, but he didn't say it in the end. He went to ask the people who came over.
Qin Zijin continued to study the virus in Shunan.
She read a lot of books. The virus that Shunan had seemed to be similar to smallpox, as it also caused persistent high fever and rashes on the body, but Shunan's virus seemed to be much more serious than smallpox.
Because the mortality rate is higher, but the infectiousness is weaker, smallpox is still very contagious.
Although the experimental results came out, they were not of much use. Qin Zijin still couldn't decide what medicine to use for treatment.
She couldn't use anyone to test the medicine because the risk of trial and error was too great. Those were human lives, and she was unwilling to use human lives for that experiment.
Tang Shen came back soon.
Liu Fen is a full-time housewife and doesn't like to go out much. Except for buying groceries and cooking, she hardly goes out. So she hasn't had contact with many people in the past two days. The people she has had the most contact with are her two children at home.
As for the two children of the Zhang family, the eldest son Zhang Duanwu is in elementary school. These two days happened to be weekends, so he did not go to school and stayed at home.
The same is true for Zhang Zhenzhen.
As for the caregiver's family, there are ten people in it. With so many people, the scope of activities is naturally larger, and the number of people they come into contact with is also larger. A simple count of the people who have had physical contact with them in the past two days shows that there are as many as a hundred people.
