Chapter 48 Source of infection

Source of infection...

Gu Ji stared at the text behind the target, and the figure of the man in the brown hat quickly appeared in his mind.

When separating infected people from close contacts last night, he also saw a man in a brown hat. A large number of red papules appeared on the surface of his body, and the skin was broken and ulcerated. He had obviously entered the middle stage of the disease and was currently receiving treatment in the treatment area.

He quickly got up and got ready to wash up.

When she turned around, Mio Ito was not in the bed.

"So energetic..."

Gu Ji blinked.

You know, Mio Ito stayed up all night just like him yesterday. He had eliminated a lot of fatigue because he had just increased his immunity, but this girl's energy was really strong.

Change into protective clothing and walk out of the guest room.

The doctors and staff on duty in the lobby downstairs were busy taking daily temperature checks for tourists, and Mio Ito was among them.

Gu Ji was waving hello to her when suddenly, a tourist who was queuing couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

"Stretcher cart!"

Dr. Songdao shouted hurriedly, and two security personnel wearing protective clothing rushed over pushing a metal stretcher cart. The female flight attendant on the side also joined in to help the patient who fell to the ground.

Who knows.

Just when the three of them were holding the patient's hands and feet and preparing to lift him up, "Ugh—!"

His back suddenly straightened, and he instinctively vomited violently, all of it spraying on the security guard who raised his feet.

A large amount of viscous substance mixed with dark red blood clots flowed along his transparent mask and mask, to the corners of the protective suit, and seeped into the hair on the temples.

"ah!"

The female flight attendant screamed and subconsciously let go. The patient fell to the ground on one side and started vomiting again, spraying on her shoes.

The tourists lining up around him were also frightened and hurriedly backed away.

"Steady, don't panic."

At this time, Gu Ji's voice came from behind. After he saw the emergency from the second floor, he immediately ran down from the fire escape, "Bring the patient up first, and someone will come and wash and disinfect them quickly." !”

The security guard who was raising his feet froze in place, still bending over and not daring to move. He could only let the disgusting vomit roll on his skin.

But everyone knows it's more than just disgusting.

Every drop of liquid may carry a large amount of virulent viruses. Once infected...

"Jiang...Ms. Jiang, will I die?"

The security guard's voice was trembling when he spoke. He was only in his twenties, and it was normal to be afraid of death.

"Don't worry, you may not be infected. Do the disinfection first, and then go to the quarantine area for the last half day."

Although the female voice that Gu Ji spoke was gentle, there was a convincing sense of security in her tone.

The security guard and the female sailor quickly calmed down.

"Is the situation like this today?"

After handling the scene, Gu Jixian asked about the data as usual.

Songdao's expression was not optimistic: "So far, we have found 49 more infections, 42 of them are from the medical isolation and observation area, and the rest were screened out by daily temperature measurement this morning. The treatment area is now staffed Some are not enough. Today, 18 patients have changed from mild to severe..."

"The public area hasn't been cleared yet..."

Gu Ji was not worried about the isolation area and the treatment area. What he was really afraid of was the area outside the closed area.

If the public area cannot be cleared, it means that the virus is still spreading and contagious. If this continues, sooner or later, a more terrifying concentrated outbreak will occur.

"In addition to the daily temperature measurement, there will be another round of mobile temperature measurement in the afternoon. In addition, the flow of people in public areas must be controlled. No one is allowed to leave the guest room unless necessary. Disposable tableware is used for meals."

Gu Ji frowned, remembering the source of the virus: "Take me to the treatment area first."

Songdao nodded and led him all the way to the infirmary at the bow of the second floor.

At this moment, all the major rooms in the infirmary were packed, and the medical staff had no choice but to arrange temporary folding beds in the corridor to serve as hospital beds.

"Doctor, when can we get to land..."

"Dasi Kaibi (save me)..."

"Ugh... vomit..."

…

As soon as Gu Ji and Song Dao entered the door, the patients all raised their heads, as if grasping at straws, and kept calling for help to the two of them.

But he could only respond with words such as "It's almost time" and "Hold on for a few more hours", but he couldn't do anything else.

Yes.

Without knowing what virus the source of infection is, they can't carry out targeted treatment at all. They can only repair which wall is leaking based on the symptoms.

If blood pressure is low, intravenous infusion of glucose and normal saline is required to maintain water and electrolyte balance;

For patients with severe bleeding, platelets, plasma, or hemostatic drugs will be transfused.

But even if you know what the virus is, you may not be able to do anything.

Currently, vaccines and antigens have not been developed for most severe hemorrhagic fevers, let alone this cruise ship.

Gu Ji found the man in the brown hat.

At this time, he was lying on the bed for an infusion. In addition to red spots, there were also many blood blister-like pimples on his face. His mouth was slightly open and he seemed to have difficulty breathing. The blue and white hospital gown was soaked with blood. pink traces.

Gu Ji glanced at the patient's name on the bedside: Nakamura Hiro, "Mr. Nakamura, I want to ask you some questions and hope you can cooperate. This is related to the lives of the entire ship."

He is almost dying, so there is no such thing as "enemies are extremely jealous when they meet".

Nakamura Hiro blinked and said feebly: "Ask."

"Are the red spots on your body really caused by eczema? Did you get sick before you boarded the ship? What were your early symptoms? Have you ever been in contact with wild animals or been bitten by mosquitoes? Do you have any history of traveling to tropical areas?"

These questions from Gu Ji are all very targeted.

Most hemorrhagic fevers originate from tropical areas, such as South America and Africa, and many are transmitted through mosquito bites and non-human primates.

"I have a history of eczema. The symptoms started after I boarded the ship. It was all because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I am friends with Manager Shida of the catering department. I went to see him after I boarded the ship and made a lot of sashimi and fish in advance. Beer, and I got sick as a result..."

No wonder Nakamura Hiro avoided the incident after the argument. He was probably afraid of being questioned by security and causing trouble for his friends.

After all, cruise ship kitchens are strictly managed, and leaking food without permission is a dereliction of duty.

Nakamura Hiroshi coughed twice and continued: "The onset of the disease was very acute this time. Not long after eating sashimi, eczema broke out, accompanied by cough, fever, and some headaches. I have been staying in Tokyo and Tokyo in recent years. Yokohama, never been to the tropics.”

There are many causes of eczema, mainly related to dietary habits. Certain foods have strong antigenicity and can easily cause allergic reactions, especially alcohol and seafood. Coupled with the heavy humidity at sea, it is indeed easy to develop eczema.

But these triggers are not so severe that the onset of symptoms will occur within two hours.

To know.

The cruise ship had just departed when Gu Ji woke up, and the time was 9 a.m. Even if Nakamura Hiroshi went straight to his friends after boarding the ship, by lunch time, it only took two hours for eczema to appear all over his body?

What's more, eczema rarely causes fever, cough, and headache.

The source of the virus is not Hiro Nakamura!

He subconsciously looked at the patients around him, and suddenly found that almost all of them were Europeans, Americans and Japanese, with the latter being especially the majority.

eating habits;

Sashimi…

Gu Ji's pupils shrank suddenly and asked, "Where is Manager Shida?"

I originally wanted to change my work schedule, but my thinking and logic were too poor to stay up late to write a book, but I didn't expect it to fail... I couldn't fall asleep at night, couldn't get up in the morning, and I would find time to make up for it later if I missed an update.
