Yesterday, after a mass outbreak of disease symptoms following the siege of the Nederland Embassy, Wang Yunxiao, drawing on his own experience, determined that the newly born girl was not the real source of contamination.
He was right in his judgment, and the subsequent handling also went smoothly, but he had not expected that it would rain last night.
A torrential downpour had washed away all the sanitation efforts at the scene, and starting this morning, people in the surrounding areas began to show symptoms, overwhelming nearby hospitals with rapidly increasing pressure.
By the time Li Mumu arrived at New Asia Hospital, it was already overcrowded. The queue of patients nearly blocked the entrance, and from time to time someone could not control themselves, vomiting and defecating on the spot, creating new sources of infection and filling the entire hospital corridor with foul smells.
