Inside the earpiece, Captain Neil finished delivering the news, and after coughing twice, he suddenly vomited.

Gu Ji's hands suddenly stopped, and he hurriedly asked, "Captain Neil, are you also infected?" ”

"Hmm...... I don't know, I just feel a very bad headache, my face is a little hot, and my stomach is very uncomfortable, like a cold. ”

Captain Neil replied truthfully.

It's already sick!

This is what he didn't expect, theoretically speaking, the cruise ship cab is strictly controlled, and ordinary people are usually not allowed to enter and exit, and the man in the brown hat has no chance to get close to the captain, how can he be infected?

Gu Ji frowned.

There are only two possibilities:

1. The source of the virus is not a brown-hat man;

Second, the virus spreads into the cabin of the cruise ship through other means of transmission, such as: airborne!

He looked up at the air conditioning vent on the ceiling of the room, and his heart became more and more solemn.

Originally, Gu Ji asked Captain Neil to turn off the central air-conditioning system, just to prevent trouble.

Because of severe hemorrhagic fevers, such as Marburg and Ebola in the Filoviridae family; For example, arboviruses such as dengue fever and Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever are mostly not respiratory viruses and are difficult to spread through the air like influenza viruses.

There are exceptions, though.

For example, epidemic haemorrhagic fever, also known as hantavirus, has been shown to be a respiratory infection.

However, the fatality rate of hantavirus is only 1%~5%, which mainly damages the kidneys, which is far less serious than other hemorrhagic fevers, and the corpse of the white-haired old man who died is extremely terrifying; Crucially, hantaviruses cannot be transmitted from person to person and can only be transmitted by small rodents.

Among the remaining virulent viruses, Marburg virus has been reported to infect laboratory animals with aerosols, but related human infection cases have not been proven in the laboratory.

"Captain Neil, immediately let the others in the cab stay away from you, medical and cleaning personnel pay attention, give priority to sanitizing the cab and engine room, check the fever of all pilots, helmsmen, and engineers, quickly!"

Gu Ji's tone was obviously more urgent than the moment when the virus broke out just now.

To know.

Once the driving and power departments of the cruise ship collapse, then the ship will be completely reduced to an island at sea, isolated from the world, and everyone can only wait for death!

"I'm Katsunobu Tamura, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, do you have prepared an emergency response to this incident? Can you put me in touch with your leaders? ”

Hearing that the virus had infiltrated the cab, the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to open his mouth first, his voice deep.

It is reasonable for the top leader of a country's health system to ask for direct dialogue with Gu Ji's immediate boss.

But the problem is, he doesn't have any leadership.

The identity is all made up by him.

Gu Ji's eyelids were half-shrugged, and his brain was thinking fast:

"Sorry, we're just in the early stages of exploring, and there are currently two known cases of infection; The first patient, a 41-year-old man with a history of hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia, was found to be in serious condition by his family and died of excessive blood loss 16 hours after admission. ”

"The second patient, a 38-year-old healthy man, was admitted to the hospital with acute fever, body aches, and red papules on his face and limbs, and the doctor suspected that he was infected with hemorrhagic fever, and laboratory tests showed leukopenia and lymphopenia, and is currently being treated."

"Through tracing the origins, I learned that both patients had been on the Platinum Star cruise ship, and the laboratory found an unknown virus in their blood samples, which was being sent to the Jiangzhou Institute of Virology in Xia Guo, so Xiangzhou CHP will never know more than I did on the spot!"

These words were uttered by him after logical reasoning and careful consideration.

Gu Ji first gave an example to demonstrate, using cases to confirm his legal identity to investigate the virus, and these cases were all derived from his previous observation of infected people on the ship, which was half-true and half-true.

Then use one death and one injury, raise the mortality rate, increase the urgency, and emphasize that the virus is on the way, there are no test conclusions, and the leadership knows nothing.

Therefore, if you want to save the cruise ship as soon as possible, you can only cooperate with him.

Really.

Tamura Katsunobu was silent for a long time, and seemed to admit the professionalism of his two dictations, "Miss Jiang, what do you think of the current situation on the cruise ship?" ”

"Very serious, 1 death, 3 serious patients, mild patients are more than 60, close contacts can not be counted, and the number of people on board the ship is huge, prevention and control is difficult, and medical resources are extremely limited, I am afraid it will not last long, the most critical thing is that it can't last long."

Speaking of this, Gu Ji paused for a moment, glanced at Ito Mizakura beside him, and pursed his lips: "I haven't determined the source of the virus and the specific mode of transmission, in case the virus can be transmitted through the air, then ......"

In the second half of the sentence, he didn't say it, and Katsunobu Tamura, who is in the health system, also understood.

Infectious diseases are transmitted through food, water, air, direct contact, blood, body fluids, and so on......

Among them, the transmission of blood and body fluids has certain limitations, diet, water sources, and direct contact are relatively easy to control, but airborne transmission is the most difficult to prevent, and the gas exhaled by each person enters the body of other people, and the cycle continues, not to mention the droplets caused by coughing and sneezing.

If measures are not taken in time, pathogens will spread at a very rapid rate, and the few major outbreaks in history are basically respiratory viruses.

This means that if the virus can actually spread through the air.

Gu Ji was completely uncontrollable.

"I am currently on my way to the Interim Emergency Management Investigation Team, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is discussing the redirection of the cruise ship to the nearest port of Jeju Island in South Korea, and the specific situation will wait for the communication between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the South Korean side."

Katsunobu Tamura seemed to be in the car, and he spoke again, a little more anxious in his tone.

He is the leader of the health system.

At a glance, I can see the key to this public health incident: personnel prevention and control!

The limitations of personnel and materials in the cruise ship are too great, even if Gu Ji has empty brains, he is just an ordinary person, and there is no way to conjure people and things out of thin air.

"Jeju Island ......"

While Gu Ji muttered to himself, a map of the East Asian seas also appeared in his mind.

They departed from Kagoshima yesterday evening, Kagoshima is at the southwestern tip of Toei territory, and the next destination is Xiangshu, so the cruise ship sails all the way to the southwest.

Jeju Island is located in the southwest corner of South Korea, in the middle of the waters between Dongying and Xiaguo.

While it's not necessarily the closest harbor land to the cruise ship at the moment, it's definitely a more suitable option than heading back to Kagoshima or heading straight for Natsukoku.

Because.

In addition to being a tourist destination, Jeju Island is also home to the Korean Naval Base!
