Chapter 448: Blockade of the city
"The plague is still spreading rapidly, and the area has fallen into panic and chaos, and I hope everyone can work together to help these patients get out of their pain." Harman continued.
And Barnett on his side kept drawing a cross on his chest with his hand, his face was full of pain, at this moment, as the leader of a nation, there was obviously no better way than to ask God to bless him.
Of course, this is also the reason why he is willing to use national resources in exchange......
Putina translated it here, and her voice was choked, her big eyes were full of tears, she clutched the corners of her clothes, and her arms kept shaking to show the horror and uneasiness in her heart.
She had long heard about the horrors of the plague, but she had not really seen what it looked like, because once infected with the plague, the sick would be driven out of their homes and quickly taken away by the local health care organization for treatment.
In addition, the local area is very backward and the communication media is not developed, so she only knows that patients are being treated, but it is the first time she has seen them suffering from illness.
There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was immersed in the picture just now, although they felt pity for these patients, but there was no solution for a while......
At this moment, a crisp voice broke the silence, and the blonde girl stood up, looked around, and said something to Harman.
"What did she say?" It is undeniable that Zhang Yang is very concerned about this beauty's words.
Then it occurred to me that a beautiful woman would be very pitiful and excited when she saw such a bloody and miserable picture, and she stood up and said a few sensational words or expressed her determination to defeat the plague, and encouraged the doctors of various countries.
"She's introducing herself, it's Catherine...... the doctor of the United States," Antina translated.
"Catherine?" He Shuqing asked in surprise.
His surprised inquiry made Zhang Yang even more curious, obviously the blonde beauty in front of him was also a person with a lot of background.
"I didn't expect her to be Catherine!"
"Yes, I just heard that there are two talented women at Harvard University in the United States, Catherine is one of them, she has a high talent for viral infection, and she participated in the KMS virus in Ethiopia during college, and the development of the vaccine was successful according to her opinion."
"Alas! The education system of the United States does have its own merits......"
……
An Xuguang and Tang Weiqiu also heard Putina's words, obviously as Western doctors, they know more about foreign medical skills and expert talents, and they all said in surprise.
Of course, they are also surprised by the education of the United States, a college student can become a famous expert in the world, and the college students in China ......
It is no wonder that in Huaxia, from the beginning of primary school students to the admission to university, every day is not the head of the cantilever beam cone thorn thorn stock, forgetting to sleep and eat to study, but those knowledge is just to cope with the college entrance examination.
After being admitted to university, it seems that I have achieved my purpose in life, completely relaxed, and completely liberated myself, who will pay attention to my studies? It's just that they don't know that university is the beginning of real professional learning......
On the contrary, the United States is very relaxed from elementary school to high school, and it is only after college that the real tension is stage, and it is said that the lights of their university library are kept out all night......
"Yes, there are two talented women in the Department of Medicine of Harvard University in the United States, one is her, and the other is Su Jin'er, a Chinese-Korean national."
Wang Zhaokui, as the director of the Ministry of Health, naturally knows more about these, and after a pause, he continued: "It's just that it is said that Su Jin'er has been suspended from school, and was held hostage by terrorists after the last time she went to China, although she was successfully rescued, but it hit her very hard, and there has been no news of her since that incident, according to the media interview with her in Goryeo, she said that she will never return to the profession of a doctor." ”
"Alas! How so? It's a big loss to the medical community. ”
"Yes, she once performed tumor removal surgery for her baby, and no one has dared to try it so far."
……
Several people shook their heads in regret, and even forgot that Catherine in front of them was speaking.
When Zhang Yang heard Su Jin'er, his heart trembled, and an inexplicable sadness arose.
He didn't know if Su Jin'er's departure from the doctor's profession had anything to do with him, but he clearly understood that a person surrounded by bodyguards every day must be mentally prepared for any danger, and would not let her make such a decision for the sake of a hijacking.
He has never been able to forget the girl who expressed his atmosphere to himself, a girl who wants to give up her life, and asks himself if he chooses again, will he choose her?
Zhang Yang knew that she was looking for an excuse for herself to stay and continue the relationship, or to give him a chance, or to say that she was seeking a little comfort from her psychological imbalance......
But what about yourself?
She was utterly disappointed and left without any regrets......
And she has become a lifelong regret in her heart......
When Zhang Yang was still immersed in these sad memories, he suddenly heard Putina's voice rise sharply, and the whole person stood up on the stool, his pretty face was full of excitement and pointed to Catherine opposite and said something loudly.
The eyes in the conference room immediately focused on this side......
"Sit down, if you have something to say." Zhang Yang took Putina's arm and comforted.
He thought to himself that in this public, a girl should be a little more ladylike no matter what she said, although he couldn't understand what she said, but the excitement on his face could be seen that what he said was not a good thing.
Not to mention the anger and dissatisfaction on Catherine's pretty face on the other side, as well as Haman's hurried wave of his hand to explain something, all verified his idea.
"She's simply inhuman......" Botina said indignantly as she sat down.
"What the hell was she talking about?"
Zhang Yang glanced around, only to see that the delegations also began to discuss, some nodded helplessly, and some said something excitedly, obviously Catherine's words caused a lot of controversy.
He began to regret that he hadn't learned a foreign language, otherwise he would have known what such a beautiful woman was talking about, and he wouldn't have been in such a hurry as he was now......
"Alas, she said that the plague-infected cities will be completely isolated, the UN peacekeepers and medical aid personnel there will be evacuated, all major transportation arteries will be blocked, and the army will be sent to strengthen patrols around the perimeter to prevent anyone from entering and leaving these cities, and if they find it, they will be killed immediately."
Wang Zhaokui can sit in the position of director of the Ministry of Health, and he has a much wider range of education and knowledge, so he is naturally very proficient in foreign languages.
Seeing Prina, who was excited, she was afraid that she would say too radical words impulsively, so she translated and explained.
"Isn't that tantamount to giving up on those people?"
"Yes, even the medical aid organizations have been evacuated, and after locking down the city, it is too unfair to the uninfected people inside."
"Yes, this is tantamount to making them wait for death, as a person studying medicine, how can he say such words that violate medical ethics."
……
An Xu Guang and several people showed surprise and dissatisfaction on their faces, and they all spoke.
"But this is also the only way to control the spread of the plague, who dares to guarantee that a vaccine to control the plague can be developed in a short time? Once it spreads again, the consequences will only become more and more unimaginable, so the blockade of these cities is also a helpless move. ”
Wang Zhaokui shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Those are ordinary people, how can they give up so lightly if they are not dead? They only became more desperate when they knew. ”
Zhang Yang also felt incredible, thinking that Catherine, a beautiful woman, was too ruthless, so he naturally began to dislike her, although he knew that it was also a helpless method, but what was the difference between this and killing those poor people?
After a pause, he continued: "We have traditional Chinese medicine to control the disease, and we can develop a vaccine while controlling it. ”
"Well, I don't agree with her approach either, you can lock down the city but you can't abandon the uninfected people, even the plague patients have to do their best to delay their condition worsening."
Wang Zhaokui's face was firm, and after speaking, he suddenly stood up and said, "NO,......"
Zhang Yang didn't understand what he said next, but he understood the first word, knowing that he was denying Catherine's statement.
Wang Zhaokui and Catherine began to talk-for-tat, and the eyes of the surrounding were focused on the two of them, silent, only Haman said a few sentences in English from time to time......
Zhang Yang regretted more and more that he should study English hard, otherwise he would not be in a hurry like a fool.
Fortunately, Prina had calmed down a lot at this time, and seeing his anxious appearance, she began to translate for him sentence by sentence.
"Our medical assistance team has developed a medical aid team that can slow down the deterioration of the condition with traditional Chinese medicine, and as long as these drugs are in place, the disease can be controlled and provide time for the development of a vaccine." Wang Zhaokui said.
"Delay the disease? The number of people infected by the plague has already reached hundreds of thousands, how many medicines are needed? Catherine asked, frowning.
"The cost of drugs is about a dozen dollars, and it takes about $40 million for each patient to take for a few days, but these days can delay the patient's life, and it is entirely possible to wait for the vaccine to be developed and not die innocently." Wang Zhaokui obviously also analyzed the investment in drugs and said.
Time is of the essence, and although it is only a few days, it is even more precious for hundreds of thousands of people......
40 million US dollars, according to the lowest exchange rate, is equivalent to 2.5 billion to more than 3 billion Chinese dollars, obviously this is a lot of capital investment, he said it at this time, the purpose is also to get more countries' financial support.
"$40 million in a few days?"
Catherine showed a hint of doubt on her face, and after a pause, she continued: "But don't forget, the plague is spreading, the number of patients is increasing rapidly, there may be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people infected every day, and the number of patients whose condition has deteriorated will also increase geometrically, and the maintenance time of these medicines will be greatly shortened. ”
