"Yu Xuehao, director of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, is already rushing to Tanshan. The central high-level www.biquge.info is also very concerned, so it is hoped that the prevention department of the emergency center can actively respond, and the competent personnel will participate in the prevention and control work, and the municipal public security bureau should pay close attention to the investigation and find people who have close contact with the suspected case patients. It is important to ensure that MERS does not spread in the city. All people have to be highly concentrated, this is a war. We must go all out to win this war. Jiang Yudong also attended the meeting, which was also a very big challenge for him. If it is not handled well, it is very likely that he will be "not guaranteed in the evening" when he is about to step down from the post of secretary of the Tanshan Municipal Party Committee. Next, leaders at all levels took turns to speak, fully indicating that they attached great importance to this incident and asked the staff of all departments to actively participate in the prevention and control of the epidemic. Finally, when these officials have finished speaking, the professionals have a chance to speak. "Has the patient's condition been diagnosed?" When it was Qin Chuan's turn to speak, Qin Chuan asked another very simple question. "The inspection report is not out yet. Not enough to look at the patient's symptoms, and the patient is a close contact of MERS. Before coming to China, two of his relatives had been diagnosed with MERS and had been in close contact with him for several days. Before coming to China, he was already experiencing symptoms. "Now the person who knows the patient's situation best is Pan Jiaming." Regardless of whether the patient is a MERS patient or not, there is no problem with isolating him for prophylaxis. This is what we have to do, but in order to treat the patient, we must confirm his condition. Qin Chuan said. At this time, the staff of the emergency center had already sent the test results over. "Huh?" After Qin Chuan saw the analysis report, he was very surprised. This is because the analysis report shows that the virus detected in the body of the suspected case is less than 70% genetically similar to the MERS virus. Pan Jiaming also frowned. "Experts. Tell me what you think. Wu Xilong looked at the experts in the conference room with frowning brows. In my opinion, the virus that the patient was infected with was not MERS. In other words, the virus that the patient is infected with is a variant that may be MERS. This is a new virus. We must step up our efforts to study this virus. In particular, the evaluation of the pathogenicity and danger of the virus. It doesn't matter what the situation of this virus is. Persons who have been in close contact with this patient must be identified as soon as possible for medical observation. Pan Jiaming said. Qin Chuan was about to get the results of the viral genetic test directly in the [Genius Famous Doctor] system for analysis. The result made Qin Chuan extremely frightened. This new virus is extremely genetically selective, and it is extremely infectious and lethal. "We're in trouble!" Qin Chuan said very seriously. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Qin Chuan. "This virus is for some unknown reason. There have been very strange changes in the genome, and the magnitude of the genetic changes is very staggering. What exactly caused such a dramatic change in the virus is not yet known, but one thing is very clear. That is, after the change, because the virus has a very clear genetic selectivity for the infected subject. That is, the virus only infects a specific group of people. There is also a more difficult problem, that is, the virus's ability to infect has increased, and its lethality has also increased. In other words, it's the most intuitive way to put it. This virus is not much different from biological weapons. Qin Chuan's words completely detonated the atmosphere in the conference room. Jiang Yudong's head buzzed, and he asked eagerly, "Xiaochuan, can you be sure?" "The specific situation needs further research. But I'm sure of the three situations I'm talking about. If a person who has been in close contact with a patient has a gene that is targeted by the virus, it is highly likely that they have already been infected with the virus. Symptoms may even appear soon. The speed of the public security department must be fast, otherwise, once the virus spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable. In addition, it is also necessary to step up the development of vaccines and treatment options for the virus. At this juncture, Qin Chuan didn't dare to have any reservations. Although it has not yet been determined what gene exactly the target of this suspected "human-modified" virus is. But the danger of this virus is just too great. This is where the problem comes in. Where can the leaders of the conference room still sit still? Hurriedly report to the superior leader. Jiang Yudong also hurriedly instructed the Municipal Public Security Bureau to make every effort to investigate at all costs, and to find out all those who had close contact with the patient. "Now, we're going to focus on the following areas. First of all. It is to find all the people who have been in close contact with the patient. Put them in medical isolation as soon as possible. Second, immediately launch an investigation into the South Korean to see who he has been in contact with during this time. How did the virus come out of him? It is necessary to guard against the vicious actions of certain people with ulterior motives. Third, we need to urgently research treatments and develop effective vaccines. "Jiang Yudong made arrangements urgently." Governor Chiang, I think it should be reported to the higher authorities immediately and an early warning of the epidemic should be issued in a timely manner. Wu Xilong said. Well. Report to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention first. We should pay close attention to collecting epidemic data, hand it over to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention in a timely manner, ask the superiors, and issue an early warning of the epidemic. Jiang Yudong was nervous for a short time. It has completely calmed down, and the scene is commanded in an orderly manner. Qin Chuan also added his opinion: "I think it is necessary to study this MERS variant virus. I suspect that the route of transmission of this virus may also be altered. If this virus has really been artificially modified. Then the transmission route will inevitably be modified accordingly. I think the protective measures can refer to the * virus defense measures. "Well, Dr. Qin is right. When our country is fighting *. I think we should apply this experience to the defense against this MERS variant. Please, experts. Jiang Yudong stood up and looked solemnly at all the medical staff in white coats in the conference room. After the meeting ended, Pan Jiaming caught up with Qin Chuan: "Dr. Qin, there is a question that I have always been a little bit confused about. How did you see the problems in the monitoring report? "Pan Jiaming may feel that Qin Chuan's judgment is entirely based on his guess." Why didn't you just ask questions? Qin Chuan smiled slightly, he was very strange. No one raised any objections just now. "Even if your judgment is wrong, it won't have any negative effects. And if you're right, we're not doing what you say. That's a big problem. Now it's just a matter of spending a little more. "Pan Jiaming has been adapting to China for a few years and has become much more sophisticated than before. is no longer the returned doctor who doesn't understand the world. "In that case. Do I need to say why? Dr. Pan, you are now in charge of the Prevention Department of the Emergency Center. Don't take it lightly. Just now, I sent the genetic data you got to the H&Q R&D center for testing. The results of the analysis were striking. Qin Chuan reminded. Rest assured. Actually, I didn't say anything against it just now, because my opinion is completely in line with yours. It is somewhat unusual for the MERS virus to suddenly mutate so much. The mutation of organisms requires a relatively long process. The Korean MERS has not been developed for a long time, and at this time, the virus should not have mutated so much. Most likely, it was artificially modified. Pan Jiaming's views coincide with Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan was about to go to the R&D center of Han Group, and Pan Jiaming shouted loudly behind Qin Chuan: "Dr. Qin! Qin Chuan stopped, turned around and waited for Pan Jiaming to speak. We need a better leader. Dr. Qin. Come back! Pan Jiaming sincerely hopes that Qin Chuan can return to the emergency center this time. Pan Jiaming quickly trotted forward and came to Qin Chuan's side: "Dr. Qin." Our emergency center is not very good at infectious diseases. You know the virus best, and you are the only one who can connect H&Q's technology with the emergency center. These are very critical times. If the virus really is what you say it is. I suspect that there have been close contacts who have been infected with the virus. If we don't get an effective drug out of the way as soon as possible, the situation will be very serious. "Okay, I'll be back for a while and fight the MERS with my brothers." Qin Chuan thought about it and agreed. If the virus does spread out. Then the results are very serious. The development of effective antiviral drugs is crucial. On the other hand, the Tanshan City Public Security Bureau, together with the Sanxiang Provincial Public Security Department and the public security departments of many provinces, tracked the whole route of South Koreans to enter China. An Weifei is a direct flight from Seoul, South Korea to Xingsha Airport. The information of more than 100 people on the same plane is completely in the hands of the Sanxiang Provincial Public Security Bureau. Xingsha Yuhuating Tianyuan Community, Ji Wenjie has just returned from Seoul. He has business dealings on the Korean side, otherwise this is the case. He was not willing to go to South Korea at all. Although MERS is not particularly serious in South Korea, Ji Wenjie is not willing to take risks. Ji Wenjie was a little tired, so he was ready to go out late the next day. As soon as he opened the door and was about to go outside, a few policemen wearing chemical protective suits came outside. "Are you Ji Wenjie? I'm from the Xingsha Public Security Bureau. There are some things I want you to check. "One of the middle-aged police officers showed his ID." Any questions? Come in first. Ji Wenjie naturally didn't want his neighbors to see it. Although Ji Wenjie can't think of anything illegal about himself, his words are terrifying. After entering Ji Wenjie's house, the middle-aged policeman asked, "Are you the Xingsha who came back yesterday?" And it's a ZC317, right? "Yes. I came back yesterday afternoon. Ji Wenjie nodded. Then no problem. Among the passengers on the same flight as you was a South Korean who has now been diagnosed with MERS. Given this situation, you need to be placed under medical observation for a period of time. Other than that. Your family members should also be placed under medical observation accordingly. The middle-aged policeman said. I'm not sick, so why isolate me? Ji Wenjie was very puzzled. Excuse me. It's a must-do. It's a responsibility to society and a responsibility to your family. You are more responsible for yourself. In particular, Koreans who were on the same plane have been diagnosed with MERS. Passengers on the same flight are close contacts and have a high chance of infection. In the isolation place, there are special medical staff to observe regularly, and once an infection occurs, it can be treated in time. The middle-aged policeman said. However, I am very busy at work right now. The company can't do without me at all. If I can't deal with it in time, my company will suffer a huge loss. Who bears these losses? "Ji Wenjie has a family business to take care of." I'm sorry, I'm carrying out the orders of my superiors right now, if you don't understand anything, please negotiate with my superiors. "The middle-aged policeman is no longer willing to waste time talking nonsense with Ji Wenjie. The same situation happens in many places in Xingsha. Almost all of the close contacts were very puzzled by the quarantine. After all, no one wants to be restricted from freedom. But there is no way, when this kind of thing happens, you can only respect science. But more people are indignant at South Koreans. Knowing that you have symptoms and are a close contact of a person with MERS. Of course, the Korean health system also has an inescapable responsibility. Yanjing, inside the Xiangshan Sanatorium. Duan Yafei was reporting the situation to Li Lao. "Has the situation been clarified?" Elder Li asked. Li Lao's spirit was completely different from the beginning, and he seemed to be one or twenty years old. "Dr. Qin's guess is very plausible. After being diagnosed with symptoms by a hospital in South Korea, An Weifei disappeared for three days, during which time he appeared to have visited a private institution. But this private medical institution is very mysterious. Nominally, it was a private medical institution founded by Koreans, but our people found out through their investigation that the institution had received foreign funding. Our people have not been able to find out where the funds are coming from. Duan Yafei said. Keep checking, be sure to find out who is behind it! By the way, is there any difference between the nature of this virus and what Dr. Qin said? Elder Li asked with concern. Dr. Qin was very accurate. The virus has been confirmed to be a genetically engineered MERS virus with some of the transfection characteristics of the SARS virus. It has a very strong selectivity for Chinese genes. It is now almost certain that this virus is indeed maliciously targeting the Chinese. Duan Yafei said. At that time* when China was wreaking havoc, some scholars observed something unusual. The cumulative number of confirmed patients in the world is 8,437, and the cumulative number of patients is concentrated in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, plus Singapore, where Chinese are concentrated, with a total of 7,960 cases, plus Chinese in Canada* confirmed patients, accounting for more than 96% of the world's * confirmed cases. *It is very difficult for Caucasian people to be infected, and even if they are infected, they recover more quickly. Japan also has very few * cases, this is because the geographical relationship between the Japanese is very different from the Chinese at the same latitude, and the genetic virus can easily "identify" the Japanese and the Chinese. In the United States, there were no deaths. As of April 25, Canada has 139 infections and 15 deaths, of which 13 are Chinese. (To be continued)
