Chapter 269 Infection (11)

The corridor of the inpatient building is filled with the faint smell of disinfectant, and you can't isolate it even if you wear a mask.

There was yelling and cursing again in ward 1108. There was a small quarrel one day, and a big quarrel every two days. The nurse was almost forced to become a mediator by them.

Su Nanzhi ate the cold steamed buns she had stocked up a few days ago with water, and watched the video on her phone.

It is also said in the news that a skin disease that is actually contagious is suspected to have appeared in the city recently. According to investigations, the first people to show symptoms were sailors on fishing boats, or they had been to the beach, swimming pools, or swam in Kono.

This disease initially manifests as a localized rash, which will then form swellings and quickly spread to other parts of the body. In the early stages, many people thought it was mosquito bites and skin allergies, and did not pay attention to it until the situation worsened.

It is speculated that this skin disease is an unknown fungal infection, which may be related to changes in the environment and water quality in recent years.

The investigation team has sampled and tested water sources in various places in the city. The water plant is currently operating normally. The TV station reminds citizens not to drink raw water, seek medical treatment as soon as possible if you feel unwell, and never take medication on your own.

This incident aroused everyone's discussion in the ward, and even the neighboring wards were talking about it.

"Is that skin disease serious? I heard it's contagious. Fortunately, the dermatology department is not in this building." A woman said.

A young man wearing a gray shirt answered, "There are not enough beds in the dermatology department. Ordinary patients in the building next to it have to be moved here."

"What will we do if the people over there move here?"

"Didn't you see it that day? Half of that man's body was covered in lumps overnight. It looked scary."

"I just heard people chatting on the street saying that it's very painful to have this disease. Your body is covered with those things. There is no effective treatment plan yet."

People who had been living in the same ward as the sick man panicked when they heard this and quickly rolled up their sleeves to see if there was any rash on their bodies.

"Really or not, what kind of disease is this?" someone asked curiously.

"I don't know. I haven't heard what the disease is specifically."

Su Nanzhi frowned slightly. Ordinary patients from another building were moved here, and the risk factor was even higher.

She sat on the bed, lowered her head and continued to search for information on the Internet. In the picture, branches across the river blocked some garbage and a rotting poultry carcass.

Some people think that the recent illnesses are caused by environmental problems, while some conspiracy theorists say that they are maliciously releasing pathogenic fungi and contaminating water sources.

There are still many people who don't take it seriously and think it's not a big deal. Generally speaking, there is not much information online, which also shows that the situation outside the hospital is not bad.

Su Nanzhi stopped flipping the screen, and a message caught her attention.

[I passed by a drugstore yesterday and saw someone buying a large box of protective clothing at once. Is something really bad? Do I want to buy some too? 】

Someone replied below, [I think it’s better to buy some. According to reliable information, the skin diseases that appear in the city are not ordinary skin diseases at all. If you can buy it, you should buy it as soon as possible.]

【Really? What's going on? 】

Someone asked in the comments, but the person who revealed the information previously did not reply.

There are even more people who don’t believe it.

[Are you selling protective clothing? A new marketing method?]

【Who has nothing to do to buy protective clothing?】

"Doctor, doctor." An excited voice suddenly came from Ward 1108, and everyone looked over.

"Did she have that disease?"
