Chapter 45: A Nest of Snakes and Frogs

The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Yunhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Emergency Office.

As the Spring Festival approached, several members of the emergency response team were discussing the arrangements for the Spring Festival holiday.

The office phone on the desk rang, Yang Le was closest to the phone, and before answering the phone, he thought in pieces, "It's almost the New Year, don't have an epidemic, let's have a relaxing Spring Festival." ”

Picking up the phone, it was the head of the Mao Section of the Ground Defense Section.

The distribution of departments in Yunhai City is different from that of the provincial disease control institutes, and according to the prevention and control of endemic parasites, it is divided into a separate department and becomes the Department of Parasitic Prevention.

The emergency office usually has less contact with the local defense department, and when a sudden call came, Yang Le felt puzzled.

"Yo, Section Chief Mao, did you call so early, do you want to pay respects to the early years?"

"What year of worship, there is a task, this year is estimated to be unavailable, what about you Director Li? Let him answer the phone. ”

It turned out that work had to be discussed, and it was something that could only be discussed by the director, and a soldier like him was only worthy of a phone call.

Yang Le pursed his lips and handed the phone to Li Bai.

A few minutes later, Li Bai hung up the phone, stood up, and announced with a heavy face, "Okay, let's stop discussing the arrangements for the Spring Festival, the First People's Hospital of Yunhai City has reported a collective outbreak of suspected parasitic infection, and our emergency team needs to go to investigate." ”

Yu Fei asked: "Isn't the parasite thing all under the control of the local prevention department? Why do you want our emergency team to go?"

Li Bai: "They are in charge of routine surveillance, but this time it is an unexplained collective outbreak, and in order to find the source of infection and the route of transmission, we need the help of our emergency team, and this is our scope of responsibility." ”

Yu Fei had already gotten up and was about to go to the warehouse to get the on-site sampling box, Yang Le was muttering on the side, "It's a pity that a few interns are not there, and our singles group is going to set off again." ”

The emergency response team was divided into several routes, tracking them separately according to the news on the epidemic network, because some cases have been discharged home, so they have to go to the community where the patient is located for on-site investigation, and those who are still hospitalized will go to Yunhai People's Hospital for investigation.

In the afternoon of the same day, the results of the flow survey of each group were fed back to Li Bai one after another.

Analyzing the results of the survey, Li Bai found that some of the sick people had eaten bullfrogs and snake soup, and these bullfrogs and snake soup came from the same restaurant - Li's private restaurant.

The point of contact for all patients is in this restaurant, and it is very necessary to check on Lee's private restaurant.

——

5:30 p.m.

Lee's private restaurant.

The on-site flow shunting of the Municipal Disease Control and Prevention was parked at the door of the restaurant.

It's the peak time for dinner, and there are many customers sitting in Lee's Restaurant, which is basically full.

Li Bai showed his work card.

Boss Li of the restaurant looked confused, "What are you doing here?"

"We suspect that your restaurant is involved in a mass outbreak of parasitic infection, and we ask for your cooperation as required by law to sample your restaurant. ”

Boss Li glanced at the restaurant, and immediately a strong waiter blocked the door.

"You can't go in and check, at least not at this point. Boss Li also blocked the door, and his tone was stiff, "Aren't you in charge of disease control and vaccination? Why do you even have to take care of our restaurant? Usually our restaurant is run by people from the health prison, why do you take care of it?"

Gao Meng's temper was hot, and as soon as he heard the boss's words, he immediately became angry, took out his work card and shook it in front of the boss, "You see, this is our work card, our disease control has the right to sample the restaurant in question, not to mention that your restaurant is a service industry, even if it is a citizen's home, as long as there is a disease, we have the right to investigate and deal with it." ”

The boss is not weak, "You said to check it, just check? I haven't heard that the disease control can check our hotel, I won't let you in, why do you want to break in?"

I've encountered unreasonable people before, but I didn't expect to meet a positive one this time.

Gao Meng's temper was about to attack, and he was stopped by Li Bai.

"Don't worry, learn to work with other departments. ”

Li Bai made a phone call, and a few minutes later, the guards came to the door of the restaurant in uniform.

This time I entered the restaurant without any problems.

The health department came to check, and several diners probed their brains to inquire about the details.

Boss Li was weak-hearted, worried that if the problem was really found, his signboard would be smashed, so he hurriedly found a reason to let the guests pack the food and take it away.

"No, you can't take things away. Li Bai stopped, "We have to take samples of these things and bring them back for testing." ”

A customer saw Li Bai with a work card on his chest and asked, "You are from disease control? You don't check hygiene, are you? Is there an infectious disease here?"

Whatever the problem, it's certainly not a good thing for someone from the disease control to show up in a restaurant.

The boss was very worried, he offended Li Bai with words just now, and now he is worried that Li Bai will say something that will have a bad impact.

Li Bai: "We are doing an examination, we are not sure at the moment, after the test results are available, we will report on the website of the CDC and the website of the relevant health department, you can follow the website or the official account." ”

The boss's heart is a little settled, and sure enough, it is a formal department, and everything he talks about evidence is true.

The customers left one after another, and the boss asked Li Bai, "Do you suspect that there is an infectious disease in my store?

"Zhang Lili, remember?"

Boss Li is very familiar with Zhang Lili, he is a frequent visitor here, and he also ate a fresh snake gall here two days ago, and ordered a snake soup and a stir-fried field chicken.

"Remember, what's wrong with him?"

"I had a parasitic infection, I was hospitalized, and my brain was opened. ”

Boss Li was taken aback, brain surgery, this is not a joke.

"Lao Zhang is okay, right? He was still alive when he came to my restaurant to eat a few days ago. ”

"My life was saved, but it took a long time to recover. ”

Boss Li felt that Uncle Zhang's illness had nothing to do with him, "There are so many people who come to eat in my store, so Lao Zhang has something to do, so it shouldn't be explained that there is a problem with the food in my store." ”

"Of course, only one customer has a problem that doesn't mean anything, but many customers have become ill after eating in your store, which is related, and we are now looking for evidence, and the results will be fed back to you after the test, so don't worry too much, just take corrective measures according to our guidance." ”

Li Bai asked the boss again: "Where are the food raw materials that are usually stored?"

"It's all in the back kitchen. ”

There is a lot of wildlife in the back kitchen of the restaurant.

There were two large tanks for frogs, six or seven cages for snakes piled up in the corners, and cages for hares.

There is also a row of glass jars in the innermost part, which are soaked in various colors of liquid and various Chinese medicinal herbs.

The gas was burning on the stove, snake meat was boiling in a few casseroles, and a few plates of fried frog legs were on the stove before they were served.

There were bloody fur and frog carcasses in the kitchen waste, and only the legs were taken out of the intestines, and the rest of the head and torso were scattered in garbage bags, and they were covered in blood.

On-site sampling, already burned food and live raw materials are the focus of collection.

Gao Meng took the first step and took the sampling bag to collect the food that had been burned.

Yang Le teased him, "Gao Meng, you're afraid of snakes." ”

Gao Meng retorted to Yang Le, "You are not afraid of snakes, you are on it, those cages of snakes in the corner, it is estimated that we will bring back a lot, you can catch them one by one." ”

With so many snakes entangled in the cage, Yang Le also felt his scalp tingle.
