On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Mingyuan did not rush back to Hong Kong, but stayed in Fengyuan.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, bad news came from Hong Kong. Twenty-nine SARS patients appeared in Block E of Amoy Gardens in Hong Kong! Amoy Gardens is a large-scale private residential project in Hong Kong, with a total of nearly 5,000 units in four phases and 15 buildings, with more than 5,000 residents.

Thousands of people.

This is the first time since the emergence of SARS patients in Hong Kong that so many SARS patients have appeared in a building in a private residential area. This has made the Hong Kong government highly nervous. On the day of the incident, the entire Amoy Gardens was quarantined

Get up, not just in Block E, but all residents in other buildings are required to stay at home for ten days.

Facts have proven the correctness of the Hong Kong government's approach. On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, new news came from Hong Kong. Two more SARS patients were discovered in Tower E of Amoy Gardens, and there were also cases in Towers D and C.

A SARS patient was found, bringing the total number of SARS patients in Amoy Gardens to thirty-three. Moreover, a large number of suspected patients appeared among the quarantined people. This made the entire Hong Kong focus on this place.

Because of this news, Hong Kong people are rushing to buy masks, disinfectants, and some traditional Chinese medicines that are said to prevent SARS and strengthen resistance. The trend has begun to take off. Many shopping malls in Hong Kong have experienced shortages of such products.

, out of stock. Hong Kong merchants have to purchase from the mainland and overseas.

Because they didn't know how far the epidemic in Hong Kong would go, Mr. Guo and Mr. Zheng both called and asked Fang Mingyuan not to come to Hong Kong for the time being. After all, Qinxi Province is relatively calm now. But once he comes to Hong Kong,

, there will be a lot more trouble if you want to leave Hong Kong. Many countries have already warned their citizens not to travel to Hong Kong for the time being. Foreigners coming from or passing through Hong Kong are strictly inspected and even required to stay in hotels.

After being locked up for ten days, you can move around freely.

Of course, the country that enjoys this treatment is Japan. The number of confirmed SARS patients in Japan has reached 277. However, what makes the Japanese government feel a little relieved while being anxious is that these new SARS patients are all

No new sources of infection have emerged from suspected patients and quarantined people who have been controlled. At the same time, the Japanese government has once again stepped up inspections of people entering the country to prevent new SARS patients from entering Japan.

Native.

In the past few days, Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia have also unfortunately joined the ranks of the unlucky ones. Although they have only discovered a total of five SARS patients, it is enough to make the governments of these countries highly nervous.

The World Health Organization has increased its attention to SARS and has repeatedly issued warnings, reminding countries around the world to pay attention to Chinese or foreign tourists from epidemic areas to prevent SARS patients from entering.

Of course, the World Health Organization will not forget to continue to ask China to disclose the number of SARS patients in its territory.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Hong Kong not only had 13 more patients in Amoy Gardens, but also 11 patients were found in other areas of Hong Kong. The number of SARS patients in Hong Kong exceeded 100, and 17 people had died.

The news undoubtedly made people in Hong Kong panic. On that day, there was an even bigger wave of panic buying in Hong Kong. Many people even took time off to carry out panic buying. In Hong Kong's bustling markets, except during commuting time, it is difficult to see crowds of people anymore.

Scene. Everyone walking on the street is wearing a variety of masks. Even the police are no exception. The smell of disinfectant can be smelled everywhere.

The number of tourist arrivals in Hong Kong has plummeted, down nearly 70% compared to the same period last year! A large number of international conferences have been postponed or held in other places. The hotel industry, which was originally hard to find a room, has seen its occupancy rate fall below its lowest level in the past ten years.

has reached the lowest level, and it continues to decline rapidly. Also severely affected are the aviation industry, catering industry, KTV, commercial and cinema chain and other industries. Operators can only feel lust when looking at the empty business premises.

No tears - even when the financial crisis broke out, their business was not this bad.

In the Hong Kong media, several sets of pictures are shocking. At the Hong Kong International Airport, which has always been one of the busiest airports in the world, Hong Kong Cathay Pacific staff wearing masks rested their heads on their hands and watched the flow of people.

Sparse lobby. As the largest airline in Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific Airways has introduced a series of emergency response measures in response to the severe drop in the number of passengers caused by the SARS incident in the local aviation industry. On the basis of maintaining services

, canceled 30% of existing flights to preserve cash reserves and minimize expenses to cope with possible huge losses this year.

Other companies, including Hong Kong's emerging airline Kowloon Airways, were naturally affected by the SARS incident, but because their scale was smaller compared to Cathay Pacific, the negative impact was relatively smaller. But still

There will be significant losses in the near future.

On the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Hong Kong TV released a message that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, Kwok Shipping Group, and Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Shop jointly donated US$100 million to cover the treatment costs of all SARS patients in Hong Kong and to provide support to those who have died due to the epidemic.

Financial compensation should be provided to people who have suffered financial losses due to being quarantined. Mr. Guo and Mr. Zheng also appealed to the Hong Kong government, asking the government to provide financial compensation to many industries such as the catering industry, commerce, aviation industry, and tourism that have been severely affected by the epidemic.

Tax relief is provided to help operators in these industries tide over the difficulties.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year was also a nightmare day for Baodao residents. On this day, as many as 94 suspected patients appeared in Baodao, of which 21 were confirmed on the same day. This made the atmosphere on Baodao also change accordingly.

They became nervous. Both Li Dongxing and Su Aijun received news that SARS patients had been found in the neighboring provinces of Shanxi and Longxi, and the number of people in Shanxi Province had probably exceeded 30, which made them feel very sad.

Uneasy, maybe one day I wake up and there will be SARS patients in Qinxi Province.

On this day, the World Health Organization announced that only slightly more than half of the employees in many hospitals in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand were working normally. The Health Organization once again solemnly warned medical personnel in various countries that it would be possible to have direct contact with patients without protective measures.

contracted the disease. Prior to this, many medical staff from various countries had unfortunately become one of the patients.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Mingyuan secretly donated thirty ambulances each to Beijing, Shanghai, Shanxi Province, and Guangdong Province in the name of the many industries under the Fang family, which could be used to transport SARS patients to ensure that SARS patients were transferred to hospitals.

During the process, no new infections will occur. On the same day, the health department of the Guangdong Provincial Government announced that after research, medical workers believe that the source of the SARS virus may be wild civets, so the province has strengthened the control of high-risk wild animals and markets.

Management, it is expressly prohibited to sell, sell, kill, and eat civet cats.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Swiss government announced a ban on Hong Kong manufacturers from participating in the International Watch and Clock Fair to be held in Zurich in April. The Hong Kong Watch and Clock Trade Union strongly protested against the Swiss government's decision, saying that the decision would cause a heavy blow to the Hong Kong watch industry.

However, the Swiss side remained unmoved by the protests of the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Union. On the same day, the U.S. government recalled all non-essential diplomatic personnel stationed in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province and their families, and also warned U.S. citizens that unless necessary,

If so, do not go to China's Guangdong Province or Hong Kong. This makes Hong Kong very worried about whether this will be the beginning of the isolation of Hong Kong from the world.

On February 12, the Chinese government officially announced that there were SARS patients in the country, promised to fully cooperate with the World Health Organization on this matter, and allowed the World Health Organization to send a team to the country to conduct on-site inspections, inspect the condition, and discuss with local experts.

The development of the epidemic.

"It's finally made public!" Su Aijun watched the TV news and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Fang Mingyuan called his father in a hurry the day before yesterday. If the government didn't announce it, he would go to the United States to announce that there was a

The existence of SARS patients was revealed.

It’s no wonder that Fang Mingyuan is anxious. According to private information, there are nearly a hundred cases of SARS patients in Beijing. Xiaolongzhuang Infectious Disease Hospital is now the main hospital for treating SARS patients in Beijing. As a hospital donated by the Fang family, he wants to

If you know what's going on, can it be anything difficult?

Moreover, in recent years, the Fang family has not only donated and established new infectious disease hospitals in Beijing, but also expanded existing infectious disease hospitals in Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Shanghai, Shanxi, Jincheng and other cities.

They all have the shadow of the Fang family. Therefore, even though the number of SARS patients in various places is unclear, Fang Mingyuan can still get the general situation from various channels.

Judging from what Su Aijun himself knows, Guangdong Province, Beijing, Jincheng, and Shanxi Province are now the hardest-hit areas. The number of SARS patients has exceeded 100, and the number of confirmed SARS patients nationwide has reached more than 600.

Once this number is announced, China will immediately surpass Japan and become the country with the largest number of SARS patients. Presumably at this time, many people have already regretted that, looking back now, they did not respond to SARS patients in Guangdong Province before the Spring Festival.

It was obviously a mistake to pay enough attention to it. It was precisely because a large number of mainland migrant workers returned home during the Spring Festival that SARS spread to inland provinces.

A quarter of these non-Guangdong Province SARS patients were migrant workers in Guangdong Province, and the rest contracted the disease due to contact with them. Moreover, because many of them were residents of underdeveloped areas, local medical staff were at a loss.

The personnel did not know enough about SARS, a new infectious disease, and did not isolate them in time, causing the number of SARS patients to increase sharply. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
