Chapter Seventy-Three: Big News (May 24, 1/1 Subscription Request)

The PCR test needs to run all night, and two PCR tests are opened in a row, which makes the doctor on duty in the testing department look a little unpleasant. However, for the sake of Sun Lien's face, which they don't usually do this kind of thing very often, the inspection department of the diagnostic center still took over this "big job".

Sun Lien laughed with the doctors in the laboratory department again, and then turned around and walked out the door - Shen Qingmei was still waiting downstairs.

"How is it? Mr. Liu is okay?" Walking out of the door of the diagnostic center, Sun Lien met Shen Qingmei unexpectedly. She watched Sun Lien walk out by himself, and he didn't even wear a white coat, and probably guessed in her heart that the preliminary diagnosis was over.

Sun Lien looked at Shen Qingmei with some toothache, "Mr. Shen, I can't tell you more about Mr. Liu's physical condition......"

Shen Qingmei nodded very understandingly, "I won't ask much, just tell me directly if there is any danger to my life." โ€

"Not really. Sun Lien smiled bitterly twice, then frowned and asked, "You haven't drunk the goat milk or eaten mutton from Mr. Liu's farm, have you?"

"Nope. Shen Qingmei shook his head, "After Xiaowen got sick, I was very careful, and even if I drink it at home, I try to drink milk powder." โ€

"It's good if you don't have it. Sun Lien nodded, coughed lightly and said, "Actually, as long as you drink pasteurized milk, the problem is not very big." โ€

Shen frowned and thought for a while, and asked carefully, "Does it have anything to do with the sheep he raised?"

Sun Lien nodded, "This is one of our main suspicions at the moment. โ€

Shen Qingmei suddenly said something to the driver who had been waiting on the side, and then said eagerly, "Is this disease very contagious? Is it possible to spread as long as you have touched or drunk goat's milk that has not been boiled?"

This question is a little too direct, Sun Lien was stunned for a while and nodded, "If it is diagnosed...... It's possible. โ€

As soon as the answer came out, Shen Qingmei's eyebrows suddenly changed color, "It's troublesome now!"

Liu Baoguo's farm was collectively rented from Zhengjiaji Village in the southern suburbs of Ningyuan City. Every year, the village has to pay a management fee of about 200,000 yuan. The nature of the land is mountainous, and it is the kind of mountain land that few villagers are willing to develop.

Since the establishment of the farm with Liu Baoguo's continuous investment, the farm, which originally only had some barren grass and sparse small trees, has developed better and better. Trees and weeds grew on the mountain.

The villagers of Zhengjiaji have always had the habit of herding goats. Later, because the government vigorously promoted environmental protection policies and returned farmland to grassland and forest, this habit gradually changed from the main way of life of Zhengjiaji villagers in the past to a status quo of "every household raising two or three".

The vegetation around the farm is getting better and better, and the villagers naturally choose to graze sheep around the farm. The staff of the farm also had some conflicts with the villagers - when the villagers came to herd two or three sheep, and when their sheep and the sheep on the farm "met unexpectedly" on the hillside, it would take a lot of effort for the two sides to separate the sheep again. At this time, most of the villagers who left would drive away with five or six sheep.

It's okay to do it once or twice, anyway, Mr. Liu's family is not afraid of this loss. But it's like this every time, and even some villagers who are obsessed with ghosts regard this as a way to make money, so it's not good. The farm staff learned the hard way and decided to simply put up barbed wire on the hill to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The barbed wire fence is within the farm area, the vegetation is abundant, and the environment is also very good. It didn't take long for the hill outside the farm to be gnawed by the villagers who were herding sheep, and even at a glance, there was basically only loess and no grass and trees. With the loss of natural free feed, and the active efforts of village cadres to prevent villagers from grazing, the villagers in Zhengjiaji are raising fewer and fewer goats.

However, the problem lies here, the number of goats has dropped sharply, but Zhengjiaji's life tradition for many years requires the consumption of goat milk - in the eyes of Zhengjiaji villagers, goat's milk is an important nutrient for children and the elderly, and this kind of fresh milk that has just been squeezed out and even carries the body temperature of goats is the most nourishing.

The villagers produce limited self-production, and goat's milk itself is not a common dairy product on the market. In the face of greater demand, some people began to think crookedly -- we don't have goats, but we have them on the farm! How many people usually live on the farm? Under the grazing scale of hundreds of goats, there must be too much goat milk to drink.

As a result, the barbed wire fence on the top of the hill was secretly cut, and the herds of goats, which usually became almost free-roaming on the farm, would be caught by the villagers who had been in ambush for a long time as long as they passed through these breaches, forcibly milked and then released.

Although the farm staff also knew about these things, but in this case they were only milked, and goat's milk really cannot be consumed by the farm itself. Therefore, everyone only turned a blind eye, and only when the villagers were too ambushed would they re-repair the barbed wire.

"They never boil goat's milk!" Shen Qingmei had long heard Liu Baoguo complain about the villagers around the farm who were not easy to deal with, but now when he heard that contact with raw goat milk would spread diseases, his frightened face suddenly changed, "This ...... What can I do?"

Sun Lien was also taken aback by the news. The sheep on Liu Baoguo's farm are bought directly from large farms with permits and immunization certificates, and they should not theoretically carry brucella. Even the sheep bought directly in the early days should have been vaccinated with attenuated vaccines and obtained immunity. The only ones that are most likely to cause Brucella to spread and infect the farm's own goats are the frequent "goat mixing" events that occurred a few years ago.

If it is true, then Sun Lien is almost certain that sheep brucellosis has been quietly spreading in Zhengjiaji for a long time, and may even cause an epidemic incident - brucellosis is a Class B infectious disease controlled by national legislation!

"This matter is troublesome!" Sun Lien hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and before dialing the number, he checked with Shen Qingmei again, "Are you sure that the villagers over there in Zhengjiaji have this habit?"

"Sure. Shen Qingmei nodded one after another, and then asked with a worried face, "This disease...... It doesn't spread from person to person, does it?"

"The odds are low. Transmission is basically only possible through sexual contact. You don't have to worry about everyday life. Sun Lien answered Shen Qingmei's question and directly dialed Dean Song's phone, "Dean Song, I'm Sun Lien." โ€

Song Wen on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little annoyed by Sun Lien's sudden attack on the phone this big night, "You don't sleep this big night, what good news do you have to tell me?"

"Not good news...... Probably bad news. Sun Lien swallowed with difficulty, "I received a patient today, and I highly suspected that it was brucella spondylitis. โ€

"And then?" Song Wen asked, "Have you reported it according to the prescribed process?"

Sun Lien smiled bitterly, "Now it's just a high degree of suspicion, the PCR has just started to run, and it will take six hours for the results to come out." โ€

"Then why are you calling me?" Song Wen's uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, "If you have something to say, let it go, don't hide it." โ€

"Zheng Jiaji's side...... There may be a brucella outbreak, and it may not be small. Sun Lien said in a low voice, "But I'm really a little unsure of the specific situation, so I'll report to you first." โ€
