"These past few days, many people within the Taizhou prefecture have fallen ill. They mainly show one set of symptoms: fever, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Serious cases lapse into a coma. Doctors in the Government City and from our house have seen them and prescribed medicine, but there hasn't been noticeable improvement," Madam Yuan described.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ruo quickly asked, "Does this disease exhibit signs of person-to-person transmission? Like, do people around those who have contracted this disease also show the same symptoms after a short time?"
"It seems there is such a situation..." Madam Yuan described.
Wei Ruo's heart sank as she realized the seriousness of the issue.
"Madam, where are these patients currently?" Wei Ruo asked, her demeanor serious, a sense of urgency in her eyes.
"Most of them are in their homes," Madame Yuan explained.
