Chapter 260: Virus Company (5000 Words for a Monthly Pass)
"Woo ......"
Gu Ji reluctantly opened his eyes and heard someone calling him in his ear.
When they raised their eyes, there was a nurse in a pink uniform standing in front of them, and it was the female nurse Hee Jin who was in charge of guiding them to the respiratory department at the triage desk.
I'm dead back!
He subconsciously glanced at the upper right corner, and the red hearts had become 2.
"A Ancient ......"
At this moment, there was a sudden movement behind him.
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Gu Ji hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, dodged, rushed forward to avoid the scratching behind him, and at the same time successfully distanced himself from the white-haired uncle.
"Assiba!"
The white-haired uncle pounced, and when he turned around, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Ji and scolded.
[The items, equipment, and privileges you are carrying have been delivered......]
[Crisis begins! γ
Choose your starting reward! γ
γLanguage Specialization (Large)γORγAnthrax Antibody (Special)γ
There is no doubt that Gu Ji will definitely choose the first one.
But he finally understands why this special historical imprint appears in the game's levels.
Aside from the Osan base factor.
The cause of death at last week's checkpoint was the male nurse who appeared in the middle of the night and injected him with a high concentration of anthrax!
Gu Ji did not die directly on the spot.
Instead, in the repeated torture of illness and coma, death was reversed.
Hands-on people, self-explanatory.
Only Yamasang had the motivation to get rid of him.
"It seems that the South Korean government is unlikely to be obedient at all, so don't blame me for breaking the rules!"
After experiencing last week's inability to purpose, Gu Jizhi completely saw the essence of the South Korean government and the chaebol.
Then he can no longer follow the path of the checkpoints of cruise ships and floods.
"Seoul Central District Inspection, immediately ask all medical staff to take protective measures and close the emergency room."
Gu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with the white-haired uncle's family, and directly showed his documents.
Where had Hee Zhen seen this kind of scene, and immediately hurriedly ran back to the triage desk and picked up the phone to inform his superiors.
And Gu Ji also began to contact the CDC, "I am Kim Jijiu of the Public Security Section, investigating the eucalyptus involving weapons-grade anthrax leaks, and currently found highly suspicious patients at Seoul Sansang Hospital, requesting that the CDC immediately send someone to lock down the hospital and sanitize." β
"I, I'm going to ask my superiors right away!"
On the phone, the CDC operator heard the words "Public Security Section", and his tone changed suddenly in fright.
Next, Gu Ji used the same method to call the Seoul Central Police Department.
That's right.
If Sansang could use the "anthrax attack" to fabricate facts and stir up public opinion, why couldn't he use this reason to mobilize the medical system and violent agencies?
Anyway, it is a fact that the US military is secretly researching weapons-grade anthrax in South Korea.
At this time, Li Minfu, who was wearing a white coat and bald, hurriedly ran to Gu Ji's side with the nurse and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
"Hello Prosecutor Kim, I'm Li Minfu, the vice president on duty, and the closure of the emergency room is not a trivial matter, is there anything particularly serious that happened?"
"I suspect there was a terrorist attack, someone was using weapons-grade anthrax powder!"
"What!? Hurry up, masks! β
Li Minfu's face turned pale instantly when he heard this, and he immediately snatched the mask from the nurse's hand, "Give Prosecutor Kim one too, and notify the broadcast room and security personnel to close the emergency room immediately." β
Seeing the other party's greed for life and fear of death, Gu Ji was almost amused.
There are two main reasons for the two very different results:
1. Anthrax is a bacillus with a short incubation period and relatively low infectivity, which is easier to control than the virus;
Unlike respiratory infectious diseases such as MERS and SARS, the infection rate is high and there is a risk of mutation, so it is necessary to check for close contacts and close hospitals for a long time;
2. People are afraid of death;
Anthrax + terrorist attacks are more reminiscent of biological and chemical weapons, and Li Minfu naturally values his life more than the loss of income caused by the closed emergency room.
"Please note that due to the emergency, we have decided to temporarily close the emergency room and suspend all personnel access, please do not panic, rest in place, and cooperate with the hospital......'s arrangements."
It is estimated that Lee Min-bok's order was delivered.
The loudspeakers on the roof of the entire emergency room building suddenly sounded an emergency announcement.
Patients who had never been exposed to similar incidents were panicked instantly.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I haven't seen this disease yet, why did it suddenly shut down?"
"Eh, my forehead is still bleeding, can you find someone to stop the bleeding for me first!"
"Please understand, we are an emergency, please cooperate with the hospital's arrangement!"
β¦β¦
Looking at the patients who were arguing with the medical staff, Li Minfu kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hands and asked Gu Ji cautiously.
"Prosecutor Kim, do you think this will work? How long are we going to be locked down, is the suspect still in the hospital, he won't hurt people, right? β
"I've informed the CDC and the police that they'll be there soon, so that the patients can spread out and rest among themselves, don't gather together, and give them masks."
"Okay, okay, do as you say!"
Seeing that Gu Ji's eyes were already gloomy, Li Minfu was so frightened that he didn't dare to disobey any of his orders.
Soon, the hospital security team outside the door gathered at the door of the emergency room, picked up the stainless steel column and ribbon, and began to pull the line to close.
"Look!"
"The hospital is really going to close the emergency room!"
Seeing that the hospital was really going to be closed, the patients in the emergency room began to panic, people squeezed and shoved each other, scrambling to get to the front door, looking for a safe exit, some with frightened expressions on their faces, while others looked at the crowd around them anxiously, as if they didn't know where to go.
"Didi! ...... all."
Seeing that the security team was about to stop the patient who broke the door.
Suddenly, there was a shrill siren in the parking lot, and police cars and white CDC assault vehicles were parked in front of the hospital's emergency room.
The door opened, and a number of people began to take over the security guards.
Disease control personnel were divided into three groups.
One group held yellow folding barricades and transparent plastic cloth rolls, blocked the door and set up closed passages, the second group carried quarantine medical boxes to collect samples, and the third group carried large vasks of disinfectant to sanitize bacteria, viruses and other infectious substances.
"Which one is Prosecutor Kim Ji-gyu?"
"I am."
Gu Ji quickly finished taking the photo, and pulled Jiang Chengxun to rush to the white-haired uncle's family, "It's just a few of them, I've been observing for a long time, muscle aches, shortness of breath, cough, fever, chills, in line with the target of high suspicion!" β
"Okay, immediately bring these people to the isolation ward for random testing!"
"Huh? Wait a minute, what are you going to do! β
The white-haired uncle saw that he was surrounded by disease control, and tried to defend himself, thinking that Gu Ji was taking revenge for what he had been scolded just now.
"Prosecutor Kim, did you find a suspect?"
"The person has already run away, wearing black clothes and gray caps, and there is surveillance at the entrance of the emergency room."
Coincidentally, the person in charge of receiving the police was the previous middle policeman.
Gu Ji casually made an excuse, and then pointed to the patients who were queuing near the triage table just now, "Arrange for all close contacts to line up, take their temperatures, and conduct random inspections." β
After saying that, he rushed to the isolation ward with Kang Sung-hoon, and sent a text message to his subordinate Jang Shi-yoon, asking him to contact the Busan police to protect Kang Sung-hoon's family and drive his car to the hospital parking lot.
In the second week, Gu Ji figured out a truth.
It is also a mistake that he is often prone to make, always confined to the immediate and has no sense of the big picture.
Jumping out of the acre and third of the land in front of him and using God's perspective to deal with this public health crisis, Gu Ji found that this was very much like playing the game of "Virus Company".
Anyway, the early state of the South Korean government was to treat this MERS incident as a child's play.
Then he simply imagines it as a game.
According to the three key characteristics of the virus in the game: contagious, mortal, and compliance risk.
Second, Gu Ji couldn't control it.
The compliance risk-related indicator is "rebellious", which is the main reason why Director Zheng of the CDC did not agree with Gu Ji's emergency lockdown proposal last week.
Because the government and the public did not understand MERS before it showed its terrifying contagion and fatality rate, forcing an emergency response would not only affect the economy, but also cause public resentment and cause trouble at the Blue House.
After all, no one likes to be locked up in a hospital for no reason, especially tourists traveling from all over the world.
It's easy to reduce the risk of adherence.
The revocation of quarantine, financial assistance, and the high mortality rate of the virus have caused panic among the population.
The first two are not good approaches.
Therefore, Gu Ji chose the third option.
Take advantage of people's panic about "anthrax" to reduce rebellion.
The results are obvious, even those with direct interests like Lee Min-bok did not have any obstruction, and the emergency room was successfully closed.
At the same time, this excuse can also be used to cut off the source of infection in a priority manner.
That is, the white-haired uncle's family was isolated in the ward.
Emergency room on the fifth floor.
The room was isolated by the CDC personnel with a fence and used as a closed ward for the white-haired uncle's family.
After the sample collection is completed.
Gu Ji asked to go back to the CDC inspection center with Jiang Chengxun on the grounds that the incident was urgent.
He did this, mainly to prevent small movements on the Mulberry side, and by the way to check whether he was infected with MERS.
Halfway through, his boss Son Jae-seok suddenly called.
Don't even think about it, it must be the executives of Sansang Hospital who called the prosecutor to inquire, and Son Jae-seok didn't know the situation, so he could only ask himself.
He hung up without even looking at it, and waited outside the door of the inspection center.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Chengxun walked out with the person in charge of the inspection center and said with a sigh of relief:
"Thank God, it's not Bacillus anthracis, the patient's serum specimen tested negative for anti-anthrax-specific antibodies, but we have isolated the Cov virus from blood and sputum samples, and the specific name is not yet known, and further laboratory comparisons are needed."
"It's not anthrax, it's the cov virus, it's a big deal, I need to look at the detailed report!"
Gu Jiyang pretended to be a little surprised.
And on the grounds of "anthrax attack", the CDC was asked to release the test results.
Jiang Chengxun didn't think too much about it, and went back to get the report and handed it to him.
"I need evidence." Gu Ji said it, but he had already taken out the prepared mobile phone in his hand, took a picture of the virus identification certificate, and casually asked: "The epidemiological history of the patient mentions that he has been to the Middle East, could it be that he was infected with MERS?" β
βmersβ¦β¦ There is this possibility. β
Kang Sung-hoon pursed his lips in thought.
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes, "At present, I don't know if he is naturally infected or infected by human attack, in short, if it is really MERS, then the patient will become the first imported case of MERS, which cannot be taken lightly, I request that it be reported to the Disease Management Headquarters immediately!" β
"There's no rush in this matter first."
At this time, the middle-aged uncle with black-rimmed glasses went back and forth, "Jiang Chengxun, it's not too early, let's get off work first." β
Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.
When I came to the CDC last week, it was this person in charge who sent him away, and it seems that Shan Sang's movements are quite fast.
That's right, when this kind of thing happens in the most important hospital under your group, of course, you have to keep an eye on it all the time.
It is estimated that as soon as the report came out, the hospital's senior management had already started to deal with it.
Gu Ji didn't choose to leave directly, but kept waiting in the car on the side of the road.
It took about a quarter of an hour for Kang Sung-hoon to change his clothes and come out of the gate, and shortly after he drove out of the parking lot, a white Hyundai sedan followed.
It seems that just like last week, Kang Sung-hoon has been targeted.
Gu Ji also started the vehicle and followed them.
After leaving the city, seeing that the traffic around him was decreasing, the white Hyundai suddenly accelerated, rushed to Jiang Chengxun's car, and slowed down to force him to stop.
Just when Kang Sung-hoon rolled down the window and was about to scold.
The white modern car door opened, and four angry gangsters walked down, the leader of them was a shaved head, small eyes, brown skin, and a tattoo on his neck, which was Cui Ridou, who threatened Gu Ji last week.
"You, are you crazy, do you know that parking like this is very dangerous!"
"Hehehe, Researcher Jiang, right? Tell me about yourself......"
Cui Ridou put one hand on the driver's door frame, and started the familiar opening sentence again, "We have already figured out the location of your hometown, there is an old mother who is sick in bed, if you don't want to cause trouble, don't blindly mix this matter, understand?" β
"You, you dare to touch my family! I'll call the police now! β
As soon as he heard his mother, Jiang Chengxun instantly became anxious.
But before he could take out the phone, Cui Ridou grabbed him by the collar, "Assiba!" You didn't understand what I was saying? β
"Let him go."
A sudden voice interrupted Cui Ridou's raised fist.
Everyone looked back and saw a tall and handsome man in a black suit, holding a mobile phone and coming over to record the video.
"Yikes! Where did you come from, stupid! If you don't want to be beaten, hurry up and get out of the way! β
One of the thugs stood in front of Gu Ji menacingly, and was about to reach out to grab his phone.
Gu Ji's eyelids drooped, Tong Kong's anger was revealed, he twisted his body and threw his arms, and his right hand fist was smashed out instantly, and the screams were sharp at first glance.
The thug threw his fist to the ground.
"Cheng Zhe!"
"Xiba! You're looking for death, aren't you? β
The gangsters' faces turned hideous in an instant, and some of them even took out yellow knives from their waists.
Cui Ridou had seen the world and saw that Gu Ji was extraordinary, "Who sent you, Xicheng Qingshan Gang?" β
Gu Ji didn't see joy or anger in his eyes, and he still recorded the video unhurriedly, "There is still the last minute, I have just called the police on the road." β
"You kid has a kind! Walk! β
Cui Ridou looked at the flashing red and blue patrol police car in the distance, glanced at Gu Ji fiercely, and quickly returned to the car and left.
Leaving Jiang Sung-hoon with a shocked face.
"Kim, Prosecutor Kim? You've been following me? β
"Yes."
Gu Ji got straight to the point, "The attitude of the person in charge of the laboratory center is a little wrong, I suspect that something may be wrong, and sure enough, I ran into it, they are so afraid of reporting, does it mean that the matter is far more serious than we imagined?" β
"With the density of patients in the emergency room in the afternoon, I am afraid that the infection has already begun to spread."
"If that's the case, we should report it to the Disease Control Headquarters immediately."
Jiang Chengxun also knew that Gu Ji's proposal was right.
But he was still a little hesitant.
"But I'm just a researcher, and it's not allowed to skip the level of reporting."
"Don't worry, I'll give you a cover, I've sent police to protect your hometown, as long as you can help me solve this problem, I'll guarantee you to be promoted in CDC!"
Gu Ji is not painting a big pie.
As long as this MERS incident can be handled well, Jiang Sung-hoon's promotion is a certainty.
"Good! I promise you! β
β¦β¦
The next day, Jiang Chengxun didn't even go to the unit, so he followed Gu Ji to the disease management headquarters.
The two submitted the test report, although it was not in accordance with the rules, but it still attracted the attention of the headquarters, and they personally sent someone to Shansang Hospital to conduct random tests again.
Sure enough.
After learning that it was not an anthrax attack, yesterday evening, the emergency room of Sansang Hospital lifted the lockdown, and even transferred the white-haired uncle to the general intensive care ward.
Gu Ji naturally knew the means of mountain mulberry.
At the same time, he contacted Jiang Youzhen of AM Medical and reporter Lin Renna.
In the second week, Gu Ji was quite well prepared, and a large number of photos and appraisal report data can be described as ironclad evidence.
As soon as Lin Renna was published on Little Blue Bird, it immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.
Although it was later reported and removed from the shelves by Yamasang on the grounds of privacy violations, it also successfully forced the Disease Control Headquarters to issue a confirmed announcement of MERS patients on the morning of the 20th, a day earlier than last week.
When it comes to virulent infectious diseases, time is of the essence.
If it is announced a day earlier and the public can protect themselves, there will be a lot of close contacts and potential infections.
Meeting room of the administration building of AM Hospital.
A group of doctors and specialists in white coats and masks sit around oval desks.
Gu Ji, on the other hand, was wearing a dark gray suit and a mask, sitting on the left side of the main seat.
At this time, four days have passed since the first appearance of MERS, and thanks to the full influence of the second week, the Disease Control Headquarters has officially announced that there are 3 confirmed infected patients, and the infected areas are 2, namely Seoul Metropolitan City and Gyeonggi Province.
Sitting in the main seat of the conference room was a young woman wearing a white shirt and a black hip skirt, her black hair was tied behind her head, and she looked extravagant.
"Prosecutor Kim, you say there is a way for us to surpass Yamasang?"
"That's right, as long as you can do well in this public health event, it will naturally attract the public's attention and the government's attention."
"So, what does Prosecutor Kim want us to do?"
Faced with Jiang Youzhen's inquiry.
Gu Ji took out a document and pushed it in front of her: "Immediately set up a MERS investigation team and quickly launch response measures!" β
