Chapter 2079: The Epidemic
Every Chinese New Year, Zhu Daidong is very busy, and he now needs to maintain a good relationship with the above. But he is also the new mayor of Huawu City, and on the first day of the first lunar month, he needs to visit and even visit and comfort the public security officers, fire and armed police, doctors and nurses who are still working on the front line, which is already a practice every year.
But since the second year of junior high school, Zhu Daidong's time has been free, and he didn't officially go to work until the eighth day of junior high school. In the second year of junior high school, Zhu Daidong took his wife and children back to his hometown, and in the third year of junior high school, he went to Hunan Province to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Now that Yan Pengfei and Gan Shimei have officially settled in Xiangbei Province, they will not return to Gunan Province during the Chinese New Year.
It is not a good thing that a vice governor like Yan Pengfei has too much to do with the place where he used to work. Even now, Zhu Daidong is not in constant contact with the original subordinates of Gunan Province, and during the Chinese New Year, he can occasionally walk around, but only for a few people who are very, very good.
Originally, Zhu Daidong went to the capital on the fourth day of junior high school, but on the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, less than two hours after he arrived in Hunan Province, he suddenly received a call from the general office of the provincial party committee, asking him to rush back to Huawu City tomorrow to attend the enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee.
"Dai Dong, is there something big going back in such a hurry?" Yan Ruiling saw that after Zhu Daidong answered the phone and came out, her face was solemn and she asked with concern. Although Zhu Daidong has been appointed as the mayor of Huawu, this is only the first step of the long march, as a sub-provincial city, the economic development of Huawu City, but it is not said that growth will grow.
"It seems that there is a new infectious disease of ** type pneumonia in eastern Guangdong, and I heard that there are still dead people." Zhu Daidong said that a few years ago, he heard that there was a rumor about a deadly strange disease in a city there, and even said that in some hospitals, a large number of patients died because of this strange disease. Due to rumors. Referring to the pot of vinegar and drinking the root of the banyan can prevent strange diseases, so there is a trend of rushing to buy rice vinegar and the root of the banyan in the market. Unable to buy rice vinegar and banyan root, many people turned to their relatives and friends in Hong Kong for assistance, so that their illness could be known to the outside world. On the other hand, as Hong Kong is close to eastern Guangdong Province, quite a number of workers with relatives and friends in eastern Guangdong Province have asked their employers to cook rice vinegar in the workplace. I sterilize the steam of the rice vinegar. Some employers reject this seemingly nonsensical approach, but many do so for the sake of reassuring their employees.
It is said that at the time of the initial outbreak, the local government did not release relevant information or inform the Hong Kong side of the situation. At that time, the government banned media coverage of the illness and cut off news footage on Hong Kong television. The local government has also asked the media not to exaggerate the epidemic in the area, so as not to cause panic among the people.
If the epidemic can be effectively controlled, then the local government is doing the right thing. However, if it is deliberately concealed only for the sake of concealment, or even self-deception, it is dereliction of duty. Or even a crime.
"I've heard about this too, didn't I say that I have already been charged?" Yan Ruiling asked in surprise, and then she immediately realized that how could she believe the rumored news, especially this kind of news that has not been officially confirmed and seems to be official, but it is unbelievable. There are even a lot of people who have this kind of news. It's all the other way around.
"Mom, there's an emergency meeting in the province tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. I've got to get back right away. Zhu Daidong said that Yan Pengfei is also the vice governor of the Standing Committee, and this time is also the time when he needs to move around, he went to the capital yesterday, knowing that they are coming, and he will rush back in the afternoon. Now he and Yan Pengfei do not work in the same place. There are a lot of words, but it can be communicated in depth. And now he is the same as Yan Pengfei, he is also treated at the deputy provincial level, although he has not entered the provincial party committee, but this is also a matter of time.
It's Yan Pengfei. On the contrary, there is not much room for improvement, he, the vice governor, only joined the team last year, and even if he is promoted again in the future, he will only fine-tune it. I believe that in a few years, Zhu Daidong's level will be higher than Yan Pengfei's, and even become Yan Pengfei's leader, not necessarily.
"Let's go after dinner, your dad is coming back for dinner." Gan Shimei said that the current Zhu Daidong is not the original party secretary of Lion Rock Township, and his words and deeds will affect the clothing, food, housing and transportation of more than 8 million people at any time.
"Yes, you always have to eat, let Dad find you a driver when the time comes, it's cold, and you should be very careful when driving." Yan Ruiling said that they came today because Zhu Daidong drove his own car, but when he came back immediately, Zhu Daidong would be very hard, and he would have a meeting early tomorrow morning, so he had to keep his spirits up.
"Yes, when you go back, you can't drive by yourself anymore, and I'll arrange the driver's affairs for you now." Gan Shimei said that as the wife of the vice governor, this power is still there. At that moment, she called the duty room of the provincial government office and asked the other party to arrange a car and driver.
"Mom, the driver's business is still settled." Zhu Daidong said that although he was several meters away from Gan Shimei, he could hear the voice on the phone clearly, and although the other party said politely, the words he said made him ringing in his ears. Yes, who wants to get out of the car during this New Year, and it's still a private matter.
"Then how can it be done, you also heard it just now, and the office has already agreed." Gan Shimei said.
"This big New Year will affect other people's New Year, and it will also have an impact on Dad." Zhu Daidong gave Yan Ruiling a look, if this matter was in Huawu City, if Yan Pengfei wanted to rush back to Hunan Province immediately, he might not let the car class send a car, he would rather drive by himself than trouble others.
"Mom, why don't I go back with Dai Dong, anyway, I have to go back to work in a few days." Yan Ruiling quickly understood what Zhu Daidong meant, although it was just a trivial matter to ask the provincial government office to send a driver, but seeing the subtleties would make people have thoughts about Yan Pengfei.
Don't think that the drivers of the small car class are just small people, in fact, they are the ones who know the things around the leader best, and if the driver is strict, there is no problem. But if you encounter those drivers with big mouths, sometimes they will be involved in being leaders.
"You've just come back and you're leaving? No way! Gan Shimei insisted on her opinion, her daughter and son-in-law drove hundreds of kilometers to visit her, and now she is in a hurry to rush back, what is wrong with sending a car to send her? Even if Yan Pengfei is here, she will still send a car.
"What's not going to work?" Yan Pengfei pushed the door in, just when he heard Gan Shimei's words, he asked.
"Dad, Dai Dong just received a notice from the province that there will be an emergency meeting tomorrow morning, so he has to rush back overnight. Mom just asked the provincial government car class to send a car, Dai Dong thinks it's not appropriate, isn't this causing you a mess. Yan Ruiling said.
"What's so urgent?" Yan Pengfei said in surprise that generally speaking, government agencies do not officially go to work until after the eighth day of the new year, and unless there is a major event during this time, it will not alarm the chief executive.
"There is an outbreak of ** type pneumonia in eastern Guangdong, I heard that it is very contagious, the most severe, and there is no special medicine yet, and the mortality rate is very high." Zhu Daidong said that the more opaque the information, the more panic in the market, and how to deal with this new epidemic is a test for governments at all levels.
"I've also heard about this, and Hunan Province may also have a meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter." Yan Pengfei said that in fact, as early as three months ago, there had been ** type pneumonia, but because the local government's handling methods were too rigid, the matter was almost out of control.
As the epidemic has not yet been fully manifested, the local government, including the higher level of government, has not notified the World Health Organization of the outbreak in eastern Guangdong on a daily basis and has delayed reporting the spread of the disease. It was not until a few days later that the Chinese government informed the World Health Organization of the disease, and in the initial number provided, only the incidence of the disease in eastern Guangdong Province was listed.
A World Health Organization investigation team that visited the capital was also unable to enter eastern Guangdong to investigate. Since this time coincided with the Spring Festival, the spread of the epidemic was caused by the large number of people moving during the Spring Festival. However, what is faster than the spread of the epidemic is rumors and panic, and there has also begun to be a rush to buy vinegar and banlan root in Xijiang and other places, so the central government also held an emergency meeting and decided that governments at all levels across the country should take active action to eliminate the epidemic with scientific methods.
"There are a lot of migrant workers in eastern Guangdong Province in Hunan Province, and they all came back for the New Year during the Spring Festival, and the problem may be even stricter." Zhu Daidong immediately thought of this problem, and in comparison, the situation in Xiangbei Province was better.
"This is indeed a question, Dai Dong, you have a lot of experience working at the grassroots level, do you have any specific ideas?" Yan Pengfei asked, he has been working in the transportation department, and only after arriving in Hunan Province did he start to be responsible for work other than transportation, to be honest, he is really inferior to Zhu Daidong in some aspects.
In fact, there is nothing to be done about this, we can only rely on the masses and mobilize the masses, especially to let the grassroots organizations play a role, and the party and government organs at all levels must also exert their mobilization power and go deep into the rural grassroots communities. It must be ensured that all people from other villages or communities are not allowed to enter the village, and those who have returned from working outside the village or community are also blocked from the village or community and cannot return to the village or community until the observation period expires. While this requires a lot of work, it is not the most reliable solution. Zhu Daidong said that only by controlling the epidemic from the source can it be possible to eradicate the epidemic. Otherwise, once the infection is spread, if you want to control it, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.
"I'll bring them up at tomorrow's meeting." Yan Pengfei said.
"Dad, the most important thing in controlling the epidemic is to listen to the advice of experts, and we can only consider it from our own point of view." Zhu Daidong said with a smile that he actually doesn't have a complete idea now, just some experience summarized based on his years of work experience, as for whether it can be used or not, it remains to be proved in practice.
