Chapter 19: The Race Against Time

On January 20, the "Wuhan Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters" was officially established to lead and direct the city's epidemic prevention and control work.

Cheng Fenglei attended the first meeting held by the city's new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control headquarters, hurriedly returned to the Binjiang District Party Committee, and urgently convened an enlarged meeting of the district committee. The meeting conveyed the spirit of the relevant instructions of the superiors, requiring the immediate activation of the emergency plan and the establishment of the Binjiang District Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, with Cheng Fenglei as the commander, Liu Jianghong, deputy secretary of the district party committee, Zhang Haitao, member of the Standing Committee of the district party committee and executive deputy head of the district, as the deputy commander, and the relevant leaders of the "four major teams" in the district as members of the command, and six special working groups were established to be responsible for the implementation and coordination of specific work.

After the enlarged meeting of the district committee, Cheng Fenglei immediately presided over the first meeting of the epidemic prevention and control headquarters to make comprehensive arrangements for the current prevention and control work of the whole district.

Cheng Fenglei said: "At present, the whole country has started an extraordinary people's war against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and the central government has personally commanded and deployed it. At present, the epidemic situation in our city is developing rapidly, and all members of the headquarters should improve their political position, establish the "four consciousnesses", conscientiously implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, 'put the people's life safety and health first', and effectively enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility for doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, fully understand the complexity and arduousness of the prevention and control work, perform their duties and responsibilities, adhere to joint prevention and control, mass prevention and control, adhere to the problem orientation, highlight the key points of work, and effectively and orderly do a good job in personnel investigation and control, scientific treatment of patients, Key tasks such as the guarantee of epidemic prevention materials and the timely release of information have made every effort to prevent the spread of the epidemic. ”

Cheng Fenglei looked at the venue, and the participants were listening intently to his work arrangement. He said passionately: "Comrades, to win this sniper war against the epidemic, we must insist on racing against time and fighting a decisive battle against the epidemic, and gather strong positive energy to unite as one, go all out, and overcome the difficulties together." 'The epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility'. Party-member leading cadres at all levels, especially principal leading comrades, must go deep into the front line, command from the front, and act as both 'commanders' and 'combatants'. It is necessary to give full play to the role of party organizations at all levels as a fighting fortress and the vanguard and exemplary role of all party members, actively mobilize and organize all forces to participate in the epidemic prevention and control work, truly build an 'iron wall' for epidemic prevention and control, weave a dense epidemic prevention and control network, start a national resistance war, and make every effort to ensure the people's lives, health and safety and the overall social situation continue to be harmonious and stable......"

After the meeting, Cheng Fenglei asked Liu Jianghong, deputy secretary of the district party committee, and Zhang Haitao, executive deputy head of the district, to stay, and said to them: "Now the situation is very urgent, and the epidemic prevention and control work is complicated. In this way, the three of us will lead two working groups to quickly go down to check the truth and grasp the first-hand information. ”

Both Liu Jianghong and Zhang Haitao agreed.

Liu Jianghong said: "Now to find out what are the difficulties, problems and shortcomings of epidemic prevention and control, the time is very urgent, and we must have an in-depth understanding and grasp in order to prescribe the right medicine." ”

Cheng Fenglei said: "Yes, there may be a large-scale outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan in the next step, there will be a large number of new crown pneumonia patients, and whether there are enough beds in several hospitals? Are the daily necessities of shopping malls and supermarkets sufficient? Can masks, disinfectants and other epidemic prevention materials meet the demand? How to strengthen personnel control and prevent the emergence of virus infection in the next step, etc., these are all problems that need to be considered and solved urgently at present." Now, the three of us will seize the time, go down to understand it in pieces, and strive to find problems on the front line, seek solutions on the front line, and solve problems on the front line. After speaking, Cheng Fenglei made detailed arrangements for the areas that the three people were responsible for understanding.

After the three of them agreed, they immediately led two groups to set off.

Cheng Fenglei led the members of the working group, all wearing N95 masks, and first came to the district central hospital.

President Ruan Lili of the hospital and relevant leaders of the hospital have already greeted them at the gate.

"Dean Ruan, how is the situation in the hospital recently?Are there many patients in the outpatient clinic?" As soon as he got out of the car, Cheng Fenglei couldn't wait to ask.

"District Chief Cheng, the situation has changed quite rapidly in the past few days, and the emergency department and infectious disease department of the hospital have received a lot of patients, and there are long queues everywhere, which are overcrowded. I'll take you to the outpatient hall first. After speaking, Ruan Lili took Cheng Fenglei and his party to the outpatient building.

The outpatient hall is filled with patients who come to see you. There was a long queue in front of the eight registration windows until the entrance of the building. The emergency department on the second floor and the fever clinic on the third floor are also full of patients queuing up to see a doctor.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Fenglei said to Ruan Lili worriedly: "Lao Ruan, it's not okay to go on like this, so many people are queuing up for treatment, and mild symptoms will become serious, even ordinary cold and flu patients may cause cross-infection and infection with the new coronavirus." We have to find a way to do it!"

Ruan Lili was full of sadness, and said helplessly: "Yes, District Chief Cheng." However, the number of doctors in the outpatient clinic of the hospital is indeed limited, and now everyone is working overtime for inspection, and they still can't cope with it without resting at noon. We would like to vacate the first floor of the adjacent laboratory building and use it as a fever clinic to treat patients. ”

Cheng Fenglei said anxiously: "It's to quickly add some outpatient rooms and outpatient doctors." Are there many patients hospitalized now? Let's go over to the inpatient department and have a look. ”

When I came to the inpatient department, I checked the situation on each floor, and every ward was full of people, and some floors were even full of beds in the corridors. Ruan Lili took everyone to watch the floors, and reported to Cheng Fenglei worriedly: "Now the inpatient department is full, mainly because there are more fever patients and suspected cases of new crown pneumonia, and the speed of nucleic acid testing is not fast enough, and many patients have not been diagnosed immediately." ”

Cheng Fenglei said to Zeng Ming, the deputy head of the district in charge of culture, education and health, who accompanied him: "It seems that it is far from enough to rely on these beds in the hospital to treat patients. We have to find a way to come up with a solution. Now that the students are on vacation, some student dormitories and stadiums can be temporarily requisitioned and converted into temporary inpatient departments to admit those mild patients and suspected cases, isolate and treat them, and avoid cross-infection. Otherwise, these patients will all be nested together, and mild cases will become serious, and severe cases will become critical!"

Zeng Ming hurriedly promised: "Okay, let's implement it immediately, and send someone to learn about the situation of several surrounding colleges and universities first." After speaking, Zeng Ming immediately called the person in charge of the relevant department to make arrangements.

Cheng Fenglei and his entourage came to the Binjiang shopping mall, checked the situation of the supermarket, and saw that there were many customers in the supermarket, including customers who bought New Year's goods, and those who hurriedly bought and stocked up on daily necessities.

According to the person in charge of the shopping mall who accompanied the inspection, "In the past two days, there have been a lot of customers who have come to buy daily necessities, probably because they are worried about the inconvenience caused by the outbreak of the epidemic in the next step, so many people rush to buy them in case of emergency." ”

Cheng Fenglei said: "Your shopping malls should pay close attention to organizing the supply of goods, reserve sufficient daily necessities, and prevent the emergence of too many customers and less supply, so that there will be a rush to buy!"

The person in charge of the mall nodded and said: "Yes, yes, we have made preparations for the Spring Festival in advance, and then stepped up the procurement of some supplies to ensure that the supply of daily necessities is sufficient. ”

Cheng Fenglei and his entourage went to the railway station and long-distance bus station non-stop to conduct research and understand all aspects of the situation.

Cheng Fenglei learned during the investigation of several major pharmacies that the current reserves of masks and disinfectants in major pharmacies are seriously insufficient, but the current supply is very tight, and these epidemic prevention materials cannot be purchased at all.

Cheng Fenglei said to Tang Hao, the leader of the material procurement team of the headquarters: "You hurry up and contact the material procurement department, and do everything possible to increase the procurement of goods. At the same time, from the batch of masks purchased and stockpiled last time, 50,000 will be put into emergency sales in various pharmacies tomorrow. ”

Tang Hao hurriedly promised: "I'll implement it quickly!"

At this time, it is already the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, and the lights are everywhere, showing the prosperous scene of the river city.

Cheng Fenglei didn't care about dinner, and the group hurried back to the district epidemic prevention and control headquarters. Cheng Fenglei, together with the two deputy commanders and the leaders of various working groups, held a meeting overnight to summarize and classify the situation learned from the investigation, and to discuss and study countermeasures. All working groups of the headquarters are required to further formulate and improve the work plan, refine the work measures, strengthen coordination and cooperation, ensure the efficient operation of the command system, form a strong joint force to deal with the epidemic, race against time, work together, and ensure that every measure is implemented as soon as possible......

At this time, Xiang Qian also returned to Hua Mei's home in Binjiang International Garden, and said to Hua Mei excitedly: "My dear, it really pays off, our opportunity to make a fortune has finally arrived!"

Hua Mei was also very excited: "Yes, Academician Zhong Nanshan has already said that there must be human-to-human transmission of new crown pneumonia." In the next step, masks, disinfectants and other epidemic prevention materials will definitely set off a wave of rush purchases. ”

"Yes. The business opportunity has come, the key depends on how we grasp it!" Xiang Qian could not control his extremely excited mood, and excitedly talked about his ideas: "The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, when it is time to shoot, now is the best time for us to make a move, you hurry up to publish the sales information of masks and disinfectants on the website, we want to sell at 10 times the price, for example, we have a medical mask, the purchase price is 8 cents to 1 yuan, this sale must be sold for 8 to 10 yuan each." ”

Hua Mei was full of surprise: "Selling at such a high price, will anyone buy it?"

"You don't have to worry about this, according to my many years of market experience and understanding of the market in the past few days, now all shopping malls and pharmacies, masks, disinfectant supply reserves are seriously insufficient, these epidemic prevention materials are already very tight. This afternoon, I went to several pharmacies and saw that many people were queuing up to buy masks, and many of them were out of stock. I asked all the people in the sales department of our company to go out, and when they saw the masks and disinfectants in the pharmacy, they rushed to buy them, bought as many as they wanted, and bought out all these supplies and hoarded them. I don't believe that the price of these materials will not rise?!haha"

Hua Mei hurriedly praised: "Mr. Xiang is really wise! It seems that we must be very angry this time!" said Xiang Qian, pecked him on the face, and gave him a kiss.

Xiang Qian said happily: "Let's quickly turn on the 'race against time' mode, so that the storm of money will fall more violently!"

After that, he opened his arms and took Hua Mei tightly into his arms......
