The prevention and treatment of Ye's syndrome has come to an end for the time being. Ye Tao was enjoying a rare quiet time, but a special piece of news caught his attention. The deceased was a British explorer on a round-the-world journey. He was found unconscious in a hotel room while traveling to the islands of Southeast Asia. After being sent to the hospital, he died after rescue efforts failed. The results of the forensic autopsy were only four words - the cause of death was unknown.

Caterina saw that Ye Tao was interested in the news, and also read the report. "The cause of death is unknown? Modern medical anatomy has developed for so many years. How could there be a deceased who was judged to have died of unknown causes? The blonde beauty suddenly stared at Ye Tao halfway through her speech. Ye Tao smiled: "I know you thought about Australia. Unless it was a planned murder, natural causes such as ultrasound would never lead to the death of only one person. And there are cases in Australia, where I believe the forensic doctor will not be completely blind. ”

"That's right. Anyway, there is so much news every day, why do you pay special attention to this news? ”

Ye Tao pointed to an inconspicuous corner of the report. "'The deceased has just finished his expedition in China'."

Caterina was embarrassed. "You're really special about anything that has anything to do with Huaxia. Shall I praise you for your patriotism? Or should you say that you are a nationalist through and through! Ye Tao smiled. I didn't feel offended in the slightest. "Either way, I'll treat you as if you're complimenting me. Haven't you recently found a suitable research topic? Do you want to come with me to Southeast Asia? If there's nothing special to discover, it's time for a vacation. The weather has been getting cooler lately. Going for a soak up the sun should be a good option. ”

Caterina thought briefly and agreed to Ye Tao's suggestion. "Sounds pretty good." The two discussed and went directly to Wei Ping's office. The long-legged beauty suddenly had a bad premonition. She stared at Ye Tao viciously and asked, "Don't tell me, you have to ask for leave again." Also take a leave of absence with Dr. Carter. ”

"When will Master Wei be unpredictable? We took a leave of absence this time because of business. Ye Tao turned up the report on the sudden death of the British explorer for unknown reasons. Wei Ping took it and looked at it twice, her face full of suspicion. "Why do I think you're being lazy? The preparation of the TCM Department of the Provincial Hospital has just been carried out, and you will have 'business' when it comes to the actual construction stage. ”

Ye Tao's face flushed. I didn't expect my thoughts to be fully understood by Wei Ping. Caterina was also kept in the dark. She swore and said, "Director Wei." Tao Ye and I have been looking for new research directions recently. This unexplained death of an explorer may show me the way forward. ”

If it was just Ye Tao asking for leave, Wei Ping would definitely veto it directly. But Catalina's schedule for this time is very good. She opened her mouth, and Wei Ping was really embarrassed to refuse. What's more, people have such a good reason. "Okay. Dr. Carter: Your research is important. I've approved your fake. ”

This time Ye Tao is gone. "What about me?"

"You gave me a solid stay in the hospital. If Dr. Carter really needs your help, it's not too late for you to go. "Wei Ping has an expression that you don't want to be clever in front of me. But Caterina interrupted her in the middle of her sentence. "Director Wei, I may need Dr. Ye's help right now."

Wei Ping was puzzled. She followed Katarina's gaze. The TV is broadcasting an latest report. The medical examiner who performed the autopsy on the explorer was found dead in the morgue earlier today. The cause of death is also unknown. Wei Ping realized the severity of the situation. "If it weren't for serial killings, it would have been almost ......"

"Contagion!" Ye Tao put away his joke. "Director Wei, I'm going to take a long leave to go to the front line to understand the situation."

Wei Ping shook her head. She took a closer look at the newspaper report and recalled the report on TV just now. "Neither of the two deceased had any abnormalities during their lifetimes, and both had sudden onset. Death in a short period of time. There wasn't even time to call for help. If it's really a contagion, it's terrible! ”

Ye Tao didn't know the severity of the situation. He took out the phone and dialed Fang Tianshu's number. "Have you paid attention to the unexplained death of an explorer in Southeast Asia and the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy on him?" "Of course. This matter has sparked a lot of discussion around the world. We are preparing to convene experts in the relevant fields for expert advice. Ye Tao, do you have any ideas? ”

Ye Tao replied in a heavy tone: "There is a great chance that there will not be a third case. But when it does, it's bad! ”

Fang Tianshu asked, "How do you say it?" ”

"Both patients died within a very short period of time. If it is an infectious disease, it is difficult for the host to die so quickly and cause widespread transmission. I hope that's the case. However, there is another situation that cannot be ruled out for the time being. ”

Fang Tianshu attaches great importance to Ye Tao's professional opinions: "The expert seminar on our side has begun. I turn on hands-free. You go on to say. ”

Ye Tao didn't have the time to say hello to the experts over there. He continued: "There is reason to believe that this is an infectious disease that has never been seen before. And this infectious disease has a very high fatality rate. Both of the fatalities were young and healthy adults. I think there's a good chance that there won't be more infected. Because the disease has such a rapid onset time, the virus has no time to spread further. As long as the bodies of the deceased are properly disposed of, it is not easy to cause large-scale epidemics. But ......"

Ye Tao gave a "but" to make the conference room in the capital take a breath of cool air. An expert in the field of infectious diseases took Ye Tao's words: "But there is another possibility. This infectious disease has a long incubation period in the human body. People who are carriers of the virus do not become ill immediately. This makes it possible for the virus to spread widely. However, I think this is less likely. Because the second deceased became ill after only 24 hours of contact with the deceased. This is not characteristic of a virus that has been dormant for a long time. ”

Another expert asked, "Is it possible that the onset of this virus varies from person to person?" ”

The conference room soon erupted in lively discussions. Fang Tianshu didn't have a clue after listening to it for a long time. He put a stop to undisciplined discussions. "Everyone, be quiet. Dr. Ye, what are your specific thoughts? The information available now is extremely limited. You can speak your mind. It doesn't matter if it turns out to be wrong in hindsight. We are now just asking for your views in case of a situation. ”

"Since you asked me about my Jianyì, then I will say it directly. The absence of a third case within a week would largely rule out the possibility of a widespread outbreak. But what if there is a third case of infected people......""? "If that happens, then we need to be prepared for the worst pandemic in more than a century!"
