Wang Xue Mei asked again, "Is anyone selling them at a high price? Sell me a few bottles."
Most people expressed helplessness. Or, if they hadn't managed to buy any themselves, they also requested to purchase some. Due to the sudden viral flu outbreak in the past couple of days, there had been quite a few deaths. This flu struck fiercely; if not controlled or treated overnight, it would be too late. As long as it was controlled in the early stages, patients would gradually recover.
The problem was that hospitals were full, and word was that medication was already running low! Who would dare risk their own life?
In some respects, the Huaxia people were actually quite vulnerable. The slightest hint of trouble would put them on alert, prompting widespread panic buying. So, when the news broke, people rushed to pharmacies and supermarkets, clearing the shelves. Although purchases were now limited, each person's quota still allowed for buying about a dozen bottles of floral water.
