Chapter 486: The Ebola Virus
At Donghai International Airport, Wang Jingyu has just returned from Liberia, Africa. Wang Jingyu is an engineer stationed in Africa for the East China Sea Heavy Alliance. The African market is an important overseas market for Chinese machinery. Low price and good after-sales service are the magic weapons of Chinese machinery overseas. There are many Chinese like Wang Jingyu who are active in Africa.
The reason why Wang Jingyu returned to China was because his wife's due date was approaching, and he was not in good health recently. It's not a big deal either. He caught a cold. It took a long time to toss before slowly recovering. He wanted to return to China to recuperate for a while.
Returnees from Africa are required to have their temperature checked before boarding. 1. Prevent people with Ebola from carrying the virus elsewhere. It is precisely for this reason that Wang Jingyu has dragged on for a long time. The fever had subsided only two days earlier, and he immediately set off for home. Because his wife is going to have a baby soon. He wanted to see his father for the first time in his new life.
Ebola (Ebolavirus) is also known as Ebola virus. It is a very rare virus, a virulent infectious virus that can cause Ebola haemorrhagic fever in humans and primates, with a high mortality rate of between 50% and 90%, and the main causes of death are stroke, myocardial infarction, hypovolemic shock or multiple organ failure.
According to the latest figures released by the World Health Organization, the global death toll from Ebola virus has exceeded 4,500, and the cumulative number of confirmed, suspected and probable infections may exceed 9,000. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the three West African countries, are the most severely affected, with communities in ruins, thousands of children orphaned, and millions left hungry.
Scientist at the National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases. Jahaling said. This year's Ebola outbreak, the worst outbreak in history, may be due to the fact that the deadly virus has become more contagious than before.
Wang Jingyu stepped down from the plane and looked at the somewhat gray sky, the haze was still the same as when he went abroad, but this time, this unobnoxious haze gave him a sense of familiarity at home. Seeing the gray sky, he felt a little tightness in his chest.
"Alas, the air is really uncomfortable." Wang Jingyu muttered.
The man next to him smiled: "Hehe, when you come back from abroad, the most unbearable thing is the air." When abroad. There are blue skies and white clouds everywhere. Back in my own country, there is smog everywhere. Still, no matter what, it's home. ”
"Hmm. Oh, yes. Where did you come back from? Wang Jingyu asked.
"Me. I came back from Sierra Leone. I've been there for a long time. The air in Africa is good. But it's also not safe. Poor hygiene. There are too many infectious diseases. Especially in Sierra Leone, the Ebola virus is very transmitted. I don't even dare to stay there now. Prepare to apply for a recall. After trying to take a vacation, he stayed in the country and did not leave. "This man's name is Li Kai. He is a petrochemical worker who has been working in Sierra Leone for three years.
"I'm not much better there. Liberia is also the hardest hit area by the Ebola virus. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the treatment there was a little better than in China, I really wouldn't want to go there. When I came back, I didn't want to go back. Wang Jingyu said.
"If you can't go, it's better not to go, it's important to make money, and the price of a small life is higher. I have paid off the mortgage now, and I will work in China in a down-to-earth manner in the future. The smog, though terrible, is safer than in Africa. It's a contagion over there, and it's a war. Maybe one day I'll get sick. ”
After getting off the plane, Wang Jingyu suddenly felt that something was very wrong, and he wanted to vomit.
Li Kai saw that Wang Jingyu's situation was not right, and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I don't know what's going on, I want to throw up. You're away from me, and I'm not sure what I'm like right now. Don't hurt you then. Wang Jingyu faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Li Kai is not a reckless person, he has developed a habit in Africa, and once he finds out about this situation, he will immediately take measures to protect himself.
However, Li Kai is not completely ignorant of this Wang Jingyu. Hurriedly went to report to the airport staff.
"There was a passenger over there who came back from Africa and now has a feeling of vomiting. You need to pay special attention. Beware of carrying the Ebola virus. Li Kai said.
At the mention of the Ebola virus, the faces of airport staff turn green, which is the term they are most afraid of hearing. Once this term appears, they don't want to be relaxed these days.
Even the passengers who had just taken the plane with Wang Jingyu were implicated.
Isolation!
There's no way around it.
The entire Tokai International Airport was temporarily closed. No entry or exit is allowed, and planes are not allowed to take off.
Wang Jingyu was urgently placed in a special medical room at the airport. This is a treatment room designed to deal with Ebola-like viruses.
Wang Jingyu's fellow crew members were isolated in a room. If Wang's condition had been confirmed not to be Ebola, the passengers would have been able to leave in a few hours and the airport would have been immediately unblocked. If Wang Jingyu is diagnosed as an Ebola virus patient, it will be a big problem. Therefore, people who have been in contact with him will not be released until they are sure that they are not infected, and they will be quarantined for at least a week. Other personnel at the airport also need to be excluded from being infected by the virus before they can be released.
Doctors from the Department of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control of the Donghai First People's Hospital rushed to the airport. A few hours later, they gave a surprising result. The patient was confirmed to be infected with the Ebola virus. The Ebola virus appeared in the East China Sea. This is shocking news.
"My wife is about to give birth, and I have to rush over even if I die." Wang Jingyu knows what it means to be infected with this virus. More than fifty percent mortality rate. There are no effective treatments in front of us.
"In your current situation, even if we let you go back to meet your wife, aren't you harming your family? The virus we found in you is a mutated Ebola virus, which is extremely transmissible. Don't worry too much, maybe it's not the worst yet, after all, you have not been infected for a long time, and we will try our best to take measures to control your condition. Wan Chao, director of the Department of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control of the First People's Hospital, said.
Wang Jingyu thought about it and sighed.
Seeing this, Wan Chao comforted: "Don't worry. We will contact the family immediately and, if appropriate, arrange for them to contact you. However, if you meet in person, you may only be able to use the guò video device. After all, you wouldn't want to risk them yourself. ”
Wang Jingyu nodded, a little disheartened.
If such a big thing happened, the Donghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government also attached great importance to it. After all, the international airport is the international window of the East China Sea, but now the window has to be temporarily closed.
"When will the airport be able to access the lockdown?" Ding Wenpeng asked.
"The quarantine medical area is still being set up urgently. Wait for the isolation medical area to be ready. Suspected cases and people who have been in contact with suspected cases can be transferred here. The airport is then thoroughly disinfected. Then it can be restored. Huang Sujuan, director of the Donghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said.
"This matter must be grasped quickly, and the prolonged closure of the airport will have a great impact on the economic development of the East China Sea. At the same time, it will also damage the image of the East China Sea. Ding Wenpeng said.
Li Zifan said: "When you leave the airport, you have to move as soon as possible, and then try your best to resume the flight, and the other is to control the Ebola virus as soon as possible." The Center for Disease Control and Prevention should organize scientific research forces to speed up research on virus control and disease treatment. ”
Wan Chao put forward a suggestion: "The prevention and control of Ebola virus is also a medical problem abroad. I don't think it's enough to rely on any one part or one hospital. I think we can bring in social forces. In fact, everyone knows that the most powerful thing about hospitals in the East China Sea is not our public institutions, but private institutions. ”
"You're very good at mentioning yì. I know you're talking about Fahrenheit. But after all, they are Chinese medicine halls, and they may not be more professional than you in this virus matter. Li Zifan said.
"But Fahrenheit has even conquered AIDS. AIDS patients all over the world are now using Fahrenheit's treatments. If the Fahrenheit Chinese Medicine Center is also involved, maybe the Ebola virus can really be solved. Then the international effect of this incident is very powerful. Wan Chao said.
Huang Sujuan also agreed: "I think Dean Wan is right. This kind of thing is to brainstorm ideas, maybe Chinese medicine really has a unique way of treatment. ”
Ding Wenpeng nodded: "In this matter, we will communicate with the Hua Chinese Medicine Center." You do your thing first. Things need to be planned and implemented carefully, and the Ebola virus must not be allowed to spread out of the quarantine area. Otherwise, everyone here will be a sinner of the nation. If the virus spreads, it will be held responsible. Everyone is an expert and should know the severity of this issue. ”
As soon as Ding Wenpeng heard the name of Hua's Chinese Medicine Hall, he had a big head, and at the beginning, the Ding family had a very good opportunity to make friends with Watson. I didn't expect to be messed up by my family in the end. In the end, the Hua's Chinese Medicine Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is still a giant in the world, and its influence in China is many times stronger than his No. 1 in Donghai City. At this time, even if he Ding Wenpeng went to find it in person, it was still a question whether he could see anyone.
Li Zifan didn't dare to pack tickets, he has always paid attention to getting closer to Watson, but because of his son Li Tianrui's matter, there are some conflicts with the Hua Group.
After the meeting ended, Li Zifan thought about it and made a phone call to Watson in person.
"Ebola?" As a doctor, Watson naturally could not have known about the Ebola virus, but he did not expect that the Ebola virus would appear in the East China Sea. (To be continued......)
