C74 Incipient Influenza

"No, you must accept this money. It contains my sincere gratitude. If you don't accept it, then you won't give me face!" Although he was moved in his heart, Wu Fan's men typed out these words.

He was in the business, and his long line of thought made him feel that as long as someone took the money, they would be the most reliable. If this little doctor didn't take the money, how could he make them treat him with all their effort?

Ye Lee had never seen such a stubborn sick friend before. His business was slowly improving now, and his monthly income was not low either. Furthermore, after experiencing so much, even if it was a million, it still wouldn't be enough to break his principles!

Who knew if his friend really wanted to give him money or something else? If it was in the real world, then it would be too much of a shock to put a million red tickets in front of him.

"No, it's a fortuitous event for both of us. Your illness is pretty good, if you don't want it, then don't take it!"

Wu Fan was infuriated. He had never seen anyone who didn't want money, "Just you wait, I'll definitely send this one million to your door!"

At this time, Ye Lee was also speechless. He recited the phrase "mental illness" in his heart and then closed the conversation.

"..."

In the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Ye Lee closed the clinic and slowly walked towards the rental house.

However, along the way, Ye Lee suddenly realized that something was amiss.

"Why is everyone on the street wearing masks today?"

The aunts who usually bought vegetables were carrying a basket in one hand, while wearing a blue sanitary mask on their faces. They were hurriedly passing by.

There were also boys and girls who were chasing after fashion and wearing masks on their faces as well, causing Ye Lee to suddenly feel that the atmosphere was not right.

Did the air pollution level rise again today? Or could it be that the haze in my Great Jiangfeng City has already reached as high as the capital?

When he walked back to the rented apartment, he found a group of old men playing chess at the entrance to the building. Of course, they all shared a common trait: they were all wearing blue masks.

Ye Lee felt that it was extremely strange and immediately went over.

"Great sir, what's going on today? Why do all of you pay so much attention to the air quality?"

When Landlord saw him, his expression changed and he said, "Ye, you didn't see the news right?"

Ye Lee shook his head, he had not seen the news for who knows how many years. Besides, who among the young people nowadays would pay attention to the news?

"Let me tell you, you have to be careful. Recently, there has been a new type of flu in the city. It's especially fierce. Some people have been hospitalized and have died. You youngsters better not go inside the nightclub or bar!" Landlord said in a serious tone.

"Influenza? Did the epidemic prevention and health department not produce a vaccine? " Ye Lee was a little curious. What flu was this serious? Furthermore, if there was any serious infectious disease, the Provincial Health Office would release the vaccine by this time.

A few old men playing chess beside him shook their heads, "There's no vaccine. The news says that the vaccine is still being studied. Those with influenza should go to the hospital as soon as possible."

"It's very serious!"

When Ye Lee returned to the rented apartment, he was still thinking about the flu.

Influenza is a common seasonal infectious disease, most of which is mild, severe and fatal.

The World Health Organization estimates that the annual global seasonal influenza pandemic can cause about 290 thousand to 650 thousand deaths, and that there are, of course, annual deaths due to influenza infections in the country.

In recent years, however, H1N1, a disease known in China as "swine flu," had become almost a discoloration.

He turned on the daily news and found that the headlines in the city were about the flu:

Centers for Disease Control and Control urgent reminder: A new influenza virus outbreak has taken place in the city in recent days, please pay attention to it!

Please go to the hospital immediately if you have the following symptoms:

Persistent hyperpyrexia > 3 days with severe cough, cough, purulent sputum, blood sputum, or chest pain;

Fast breathing rate, dyspnea, cyanosis of lips and lips;

Mental changes: slow reaction, lethargy, restlessness, convulsion, etc.

Severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration;

City disease control center experts said that the vaccine is still under development, citizens must pay attention to sanitary habits, daily life should pay attention to hand-washing, good respiratory hygiene habits, as well as regular ventilation, air convection can avoid to provide a warm bed for the influenza virus to nourish.

Ignoring the unnecessary information, Ye Lee only summarized it with two sentences.

First, a new type of influenza had erupted in the city recently. This was definitely a major event, enough to shock the public health authorities.

Second, the vaccine against the new influenza has yet to be developed. No wonder people are panicking.

They just didn't know if what the grandpa said about someone dying in the hospital after getting the flu was true or not. The hospital would definitely not release such a thing, as it would only increase the fear of the public.

At the bottom of the news, the netizens began commenting. Some of their comments were even full of ridicule:

"Since the flu is coming, everyone pay more attention to your body. Couples need to pay more attention to cross-infection, please don't get involved!" I have a torch in my hand. "

"Upstairs, are you trying to laugh me to death and inherit my inheritance?"

"The experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will only remind you to take care of your health. Alright, I won't say anymore. I need to go home and collect my clothes."

There were also some serious people who commented:

"The influenza virus is mutating every year, and the vaccine can only be developed on the basis of the virus that has been produced. It is ineffective against the virus that is going to occur, so what's the point of vaccination?"

"My uncle left the day before yesterday with the flu. His condition deteriorated very quickly, his lungs were infected, and all the other organs were in good condition. Without effective medicine to control the disease, and with a consultation of a specialist from the hospital, the suggestion is to change the lung, but it's difficult to implement when you're old, and you can only maintain it with hormones and a ventilator, so it didn't take too long … "

This comment was placed in the front row. Other than the teasing people who saw it, they couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom clouding their hearts.

It was no wonder that everyone on the streets had put on their masks and started feeling threatened.

As long as something like influenza appeared, it would spread very quickly and have a huge impact on the population. At least, until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed a vaccine and a special medicine, the commotion would not subside.

Should he also find a mask to wear?

Ye Lee thought that he would probably be very busy for the next few days. He had not been in contact with influenza officially since he started practicing medicine.
