Chapter 4534 - 4534 The Other Side 503
But this influenza was potentially fatal!
When Jing Qi first found out that Jing Yang had to enter the quarantine zone, she held the boy and cried. After arriving at the quarantine zone, Jing Yang was initially low-spirited. In the end, when he met the two clowns, he found it impossible to remain so.
Lying on the hospital bed in a daze, Little Yichen said disapprovingly, “The influenza virus is nothing. What haven’t I seen? I’ve been through life and death with Youyou several times. It’s just a flu virus!”
Everyone looked at him. However, the retribution for his words soon came.
The next day, Little Yichen’s condition took a drastic turn for the worse, and his fever did not subside. He had been in excellent health since he was young, and he rarely fell sick. In an instant, his fever reached 39.8 degrees Celsius. His parents had gone home for a short while at night. When they returned the next day, Yichen was already lying limply on the bed, unable to move.
He had paid the price for the bragging he did yesterday.
For some reason, even though it was a serious matter, Youyou felt like laughing as he looked at his older brother, who was slumped on the bed with his eyes half-closed and a thermometer in his mouth.
Did his brother’s words yesterday count as a flag?
In the morning, the news broadcast on the television reported a few cases. There had already been one death in Southwest University’s affiliated hospital. Moreover, this influenza virus had already spread worldwide. The World Health Organization had already named this influenza virus the “Saman” virus. According to research, it could have originated from a fatal influenza virus that came from the meat of a pig that died from the coronavirus. It resulted in a persisting high fever that would lead to pneumonia. The virus was an airborne one.
However, the virus was able to escape many layers of defense in the body. Adults had a stronger immunity system, but children were less immune, so this influenza was more common in children.
The influenza virus would stay in the body for a period of time. Simply put, if one did not get over the high fever and then develop pneumonia, it would be potentially fatal. However if one survived the fever and were to be observed for a period of time to be fine, then one would become immune to the virus and would not be infected again.
Except that, the boy’s sudden collapse caught everyone off guard.
Little Yichen was in good health. According to Mu Yazhe, he rarely fell sick or caught colds since young, so no one expected him to fall sick all of a sudden.
The doctor explained that, in fact, it was not a good thing for children or adults to get sick too often or too rarely.
Falling sick often would point to a weak constitution. However, if one did not fall sick often enough, the antibodies in the body would decrease. When a serious illness came, it would be difficult for the body to fight it.
This was because the body would develop antibodies to the virus after recovering. The next time the body encountered the same virus, it would not be as serious. If one were to fall sick often, the body would have more antibodies and its resistance would increase.
A flu is a detoxification process.
Little Yichen was rarely sick, so when the flu attacked aggressively, his body, which lacked antibodies to resist it, collapsed at once.
Other than him, Yueyao’s and Jing Yang’s situations improved significantly. Baby Chu and Youyou, on the other hand, did not get better or worse.
The doctor said that Little Yichen’s condition was more serious. If his high fever did not subside and progressed to viral pneumonia, his life would be in danger.
Terrified, Yun Shishi kept a close watch over him.
