Gu Qingcen: "The causative bacterium of that outbreak was the hemorrhagic E. coli O104:H4 subtype, and the entire outbreak affected 16 countries, with more than 4,000 cases reported and more than 50 deaths, and it was also the largest outbreak of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli infection in the world so far. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao had completely lost interest in the vegetable salad in front of her, put down the fork, picked up the chopsticks, and aimed at the bean sprouts in the boiled fish on the table.

Seeing this, Lu Li teased: "No matter how many times I say it, it doesn't work, but Teacher Gu's words still work." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Qingcen, "Teacher Gu has also participated in the investigation of such a large-scale epidemic, and I will call you 'Gu Dashen' in the future." ”

Being flattered by Wang Xiaoxiao, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Gu Qingcen's face, "In the future, everyone will be colleagues, just call me by my name." ”

"No, no, no, how can I call you by your name? Not calling you a 'great god' is not enough to express my admiration for you. ”

Gu Qingcen didn't look at Wang Xiaoxiao, but looked at Gu Yanan, the two looked at each other, Gu Yanan smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao still hasn't changed at all, when I first met me, I was also called a god for a few days, and now a new colleague is here, I'm afraid this name will last for a few days, if you don't get used to it, bear with it first, otherwise she may give you another nickname." ”

Gu Yanan was explaining to Gu Qingcen, Gu Qingcen smiled slightly, showed understanding with his eyes, and continued to talk about the epidemic just now, "In addition to government departments, medical institutions, and disease control agencies from all over the world, there were many volunteers who participated in the investigation of that epidemic, including Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Virology International, and ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Qingcen seemed to pause intentionally or unintentionally, and Gu Yanan really immediately remembered something.

Previously, when Gu Yanan went to West Africa to participate in the Ebola epidemic relief operation, Nan Hanfei's mother gave her an identity card at the airport.

That identity card is now in Gu Yanan's pocket, it represents the identity and power in the international virus organization, when Gu Yanan was infected with the Ebola virus, thanks to the help of this identity card, Gu Qingcen also knew the existence of this identity card.

After returning from West Africa, Gu Yanan has always wanted to return the identity card to Nan Hanfei, but he has never found a chance, and now Gu Qingcen suddenly mentioned the international virus organization, Gu Yanan subconsciously reached out and touched the identity card in his pocket.

Before I could touch the ID card, the mobile phone I carried with me suddenly rang.

Caller ID Gu Jiashu.

Picking up the mobile phone, Gu Jiashu's anxious voice came, "Little sister, our hospital has just received more than 20 patients with food poisoning, symptoms of fever, watery diarrhea, according to the preliminary description of the patients, they are in the same tour group, dined at a local restaurant in Lianhai City at noon, and began to have diarrhea symptoms collectively in the afternoon. ”

Gu Jiashu described the whole thing succinctly and competently.

Gu Yanan could understand and knew that there was a large outbreak of collective food poisoning.

"Brother, has the laboratory department of your hospital found which pathogen it is?"

"It's being investigated, but the results haven't come out yet, didn't I follow the regulations and notify you of the disease control as soon as I found a suspicious clinical case."

"Okay, I see, I'll send someone to the hospital now."

Gu Yanan's voice was not loud when she answered the phone, but the members of the emergency team at the dinner table could hear it clearly, and when she hung up the phone, she found that everyone was staring at her.

Gu Qingcen was the first to ask: "Is there an epidemic?" ”

"Well, food poisoning, more than twenty patients have been hospitalized, I'll go to the hospital now to take a look, you guys continue."

"I'm with you."

At the same time that Gu Yanan picked up the bag, Gu Qingcen also stood up.

Gu Yanan glanced at it, did not object, and the two left together.

The remaining four members of the emergency team couldn't sit still, as soon as the epidemic came, everyone had to be busy, and now they just went to the hospital to see the situation first, and then there was a lot of work, so they packed the meals back to the emergency office and waited for Gu Yanan's arrangement.

——

Lianhai First People's Hospital, Department of Infectious Diseases.

Food poisoning patients are concentrated in Ward 1 of the Infectious Diseases Department.

Gu Jiashu was directing doctors and nurses to treat food poisoning patients symptomatically, when Gu Yanan and Gu Qingcen appeared in the corridor outside the ward.

Seeing Gu Qingcen, Gu Jiashu was a little surprised, but when he saw the work card he hung on his chest, he immediately understood, "You have entered the disease control work?" ”

Gu Qingcen grew up with Gu Jiashu and Gu Yanan since childhood, and they are very familiar with each other, but because Gu Qingcen suddenly disappeared for 7 years in the middle, Gu Jiashu had a pimple in his heart.

Facing Gu Jiashu's unkind tone, Gu Qingcen kept smiling, "Well, Brother Jiashu, I helped deal with a new bunyavirus outbreak when Yanan was hospitalized last time, and since then, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention hired me as a supernumerary expert, and now I am in the same office as Yanan." ”

Gu Jiashu did not comment on Gu Qingcen's explanation, but asked his little sister Gu Yanan in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" ”

Gu Yanan first glanced at Gu Qingcen and ordered, "You go and ask about the patient's situation first." ”

"Okay."

Gu Qingcen agreed, turned around and left with the sampling box, leaving Gu Jiashu and Gu Yanan standing in the corridor outside the ward.

Gu Jiashu asked Gu Yanan, "Little sister, why did you recruit him into the disease control?" You know Mom and Dad don't like you together. ”

Gu Yanan looked innocent, "How can I have the ability to recruit people for the unit, the relevant personnel arrangements are all the decisions of Director Yang, and it is he who hired Brother Qingcen as a supernumerary expert as a member of the disease control and emergency response team." ”

"Why didn't you tell me? You know Mom and Dad don't like you being with him right now. Gu Jiashu, like her parents, is worried that her little sister will be injured again.

"Brother, Qingcen always has to have a job after he returns to China, his major is in line with disease control, it is very suitable to come to work in disease control, don't be prejudiced against him."

"If he hadn't left without a word, how could I have been prejudiced against him? If it weren't for the fact that he helped you in West Africa, I would have had a good attitude towards the heartless. ”

Gu Yanan knew that his parents and brother were very sad and angry at Gu Qingcen's farewell back then, as the so-called "love and hatred", how much they cared about him at the beginning, and how much they resent him now.

"Brother, I know your worries, don't worry, I will separate work from personal feelings, don't tell your parents about Brother Qingcen's work in disease control, otherwise you will have to listen to their nagging."

"It's good that you know your parents' attitude, but this matter can't be hidden for long, you want to talk to your parents."

"Well, thank you, brother, then I'll get to work."

Gu Yanan walked into the ward and saw Gu Qingcen coming over.

He held the record book of the flow investigation in his hand, handed it to Gu Yanan, and said: "The basic flow investigation information has been sorted out, including the restaurant where they dined, the type of meal, the approximate time of onset, the number of cases, and the initial symptoms are all here, and the next step of the flow investigation can be arranged according to these clues." ”
