Chapter 1025: Spread
"Director Xu, the situation with the virus is becoming more unstable. Our medications are no longer effective, and it’s even difficult to achieve basic suppression. Another patient has succumbed!" After Director Xu fell ill, the five-member expert team is now led by Acting Leader Director Wang.
The problem is that it’s no longer just one person’s issue.
"Has it been reported to the province yet?" Director Xu struggled to attend the meeting with everyone. Both he and Doctor Bai were infected, currently showing clear symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. According to their observations, vomiting and diarrhea are merely the onset.
Once the high fever starts, if it doesn’t subside, it will lead to death within three days.
This is the pattern they’ve recently identified for this virus.
The incubation period is three to seven days, with vomiting and diarrhea occurring after illness onset, lasting no more than three days, coupled with three days of high fever, meaning a person could be gone in half a month.
This speed is beyond what doctors can control.
"It’s already been reported, not just to the province; experts from the Capital City and Modu have been dispatched and are on their way here, while the province has sent large numbers of troops. Over a dozen villages in this area are to be sealed off. The situation is already very serious.
Surrounding villages are already starting to have isolated cases, which could easily lead to a large-scale epidemic if this continues."
This is what everyone is currently worried about.
The transmission power of this virus is too strong. So far, air and blood transmission have been identified as two very evident routes, but it hasn’t been determined if there are other routes beyond these two.
The only consolation is that all staff on the expert team wearing protective suits, except Director Xu and Doctor Bai who were accidentally infected, have not had any additional infections to date.
