Chapter 261: Outbreak of Infection (5200 Words for a Monthly Pass)

"Set up an investigative team?"

"Yes, I need a professional investigation team that can establish contact with the Disease Control Headquarters and the World Health Organization, and be responsible for collecting and reporting the daily MERS infection situation in major cities, ports, and airports in China, the number of close patients, the emotional state of civilians, and the flow of population."

Gu Ji's voice just fell.

The doctors and experts who attended the meeting began to bow their heads and whisper.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of investigation team."

"The difficulty of the investigation is too high, is this necessary? Since the discovery of MERS, a total of 3 people have been infected! ”

Gu Ji glanced at it, his face expressionless.

He has now thoroughly treated this national public health crisis as a game.

Then "game data" is the most important thing.

This is actually the same principle as counter-terrorism.

Data equals information.

Only by keeping a picture of the infection situation in the country can he formulate a reasonable solution strategy for a certain area, instead of running around and focusing on the immediate situation as before.

"We have branches in important cities in China, and we have a very close cooperation with the local CDC, we will try our best to do this suggestion you put forward, but it is ......"

Jiang Youzhen crossed his hands, two shallot-like index fingers, slightly entangled, and the words changed.

"Without the help of the government, it is difficult to implement it by relying on our hospitals alone, and the people generally do not cooperate easily, which requires a lot of manpower, funds, and especially the endorsement of the Blue House."

"I know that we can take the initiative to send people to be stationed at airports, important ports and other places to provide temperature measurement and registration for tourists, and distribute masks and disinfectant wipes free of charge, and set up special channels for fever and respiratory diseases in hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, which are currently infected, to distinguish and isolate ordinary patients, and to check the epidemiological history of patients."

While speaking, Gu Ji took out his mobile phone, and on the screen was Lin Renna's resume information.

"This is Reporter Lin, I will ask her to carry out online publicity on AM medical from now on, you can send a few experts to conduct live broadcasts in shifts every day, mainly to promote personal protection, self-isolation, enhance public awareness, and pump protective suits for free every day to attract traffic."

Originally, everyone complained about the "investigation team".

As soon as I heard that I had to find someone to be stationed at the airport for free, and I had to broadcast live broadcasts, and I had to send masks, disinfectants, and protective suits to civilians for free, how much manpower and money would be wasted?

"I don't agree, this is a waste of hospital resources!"

"I also disagree, judging from the past MERS incidents announced by the World Health Organization, there are no more than 4 people who are commonly infected, and I think this incident in China will end soon, and there is no need to make such a big move."

"Prosecutor Jin, have you calculated the investment ratio in detail before formulating a strategy, do you know how much money it costs to just prepare these masks and disinfectants?"

Time.

Many experts pointed the finger at Gu Ji, and some even slapped the table on the spot.

Gu Ji didn't quarrel with them, but said calmly.

"Of course, I know that this will be a lot of expenses, so I suggest that you build your own factory production line, so that you can reduce costs, and the traffic that will be drained by free distribution in the early stage will be fed back to AM Hospital sooner or later."

"Build a production line?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

A production line can easily cost hundreds of millions or even billions of won, such a huge investment, is this person crazy?

Jiang Youzhen sensed the implicit meaning of Gu Ji's words.

"Prosecutor Kim, you mean, MERS won't end easily?"

"What do you think? Since the first case was announced by the Disease Management Department on the 20th, the number of infected people has risen to 3 in 3 days, and all of them are from in-hospital treatment of infection. ”

Gu Ji's words were tantamount to thunder on the ground, waking everyone up.

Whether it is the South Korean government or hospital experts, everyone is based on the World Health Organization's current information survey and summary of MERS, thus ignoring the important feature that the virus is easy to mutate.

If it really develops according to the situation predicted by Gu Ji.

Then South Korea will inevitably usher in an international public health emergency, and the people of the whole country will need a large number of masks, disinfectant alcohol, gloves and other medical protective items.

Jiang Youzhen seems to see a great opportunity for AM Medical to rise.

Her eyes went from far to near, and her eyes were firm, "Okay, let's do it according to Prosecutor Jin's wishes!" ”

"Director Jiang, it's a bit too risky to make a decision now......

"I've decided."

Jiang Youzhen directly interrupted the words of the hospital representative, and then turned his head to look at Gu Ji, "I didn't expect Prosecutor Jin to accumulate so much experience in the field of public health, I hope we can cooperate happily!" ”

"Without further ado, I'll let Reporter Lin come over now!"

Gu Ji called Lin Renna directly.

"Okay, I have a younger brother who likes photography and journalism very much, so I asked him to connect with Reporter Lin."

Although Jiang Youzhen looks very young, he was born in a chaebol family, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he graduated from a prestigious American school, so he has strong execution.

She soon arranged for the formation of a national MERS investigation team within the group and sent medical teams to airports and ports.

In order to better promote AM Medical.

Jiang Youzhen even found a room for the construction team to redecorate as a live broadcast room for experts' daily live broadcasts.

Lin Renna and her younger brother also rushed to the scene in turn in the afternoon.

Jiang Youzhen's younger brother is even younger, looking exactly like a recent college graduate, with wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, and long hair tied back in his head, full of literary atmosphere.

It's just that Gu Ji always feels that this face is a little familiar.

"Let me introduce, this is my younger brother, Jiang Songyuan."

What!?

The moment he heard Jiang Youzhen pronounce his name, the muscles on Gu Ji's face instantly tensed.

It's unbelievable that he can see "Jiang Songyuan" again.

It was only at this time that Gu Ji reacted.

When I first watched the news, it was indeed mentioned that this guy was from a chaebol family of South Korea's AM Electronics Group, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

"Hello, Prosecutor Kim."

When he was young, Jiang Songyuan looked very polite and took the initiative to reach out to greet Gu Ji.

I don't know if he would change history if he spoke up now, dissuaded this kid from going to Ethiopia in the future, or reminded him to keep a low profile.

But Gu Ji didn't do that.

After all, a person who has just met tells you about what will happen in ten years, no one will believe it, not to mention that he doesn't owe Jiang Songyuan anything.

After getting to know each other, they sat down together to discuss specific publicity strategies.

A few days passed.

According to data provided by the MERS investigation team, there are currently 18 infections in South Korea, 715 close contacts, and the first death of the patient, and the number of infected areas has also expanded to five.

They are Seoul Special City, Gyeonggi-do, Daejeon Metropolitan City, Chungcheongnam-do, and Hyangju.

That's right, in the second week, Gu Ji still failed to prevent the South Korean infected people from entering the country.

The main reason is that the South Korean government is too much to hold back.

The son of the third confirmed MERS patient was not only not quarantined after he went to the hospital with high fever, but the hospital did not even report the situation to the health authorities.

In the end, it was found by the MERS investigation team established by Gu Ji, but at that time, the patient had already flown abroad to Xiangzhou with a high fever.

Even so, the Ministry of Health and Welfare still does not publish a list of hospitals.

He only posted a "MERS Prevention Guidelines" on Facebook, reminding South Koreans to be careful of camels, warning everyone to avoid close contact with camels, not to eat unsterilized camel milk, and undercooked camel meat, because camels are the source of MERS infection in the Middle East.

In fact, camels are rare in Korea except for zoos.

To say it is to say nothing.

Fortunately, Gu Ji organized a response in advance and began to warn several large private hospitals in Gyeonggi Province and Seoul, reminding the public to avoid going to crowded places and give priority to the free medical stations established by AM for PCR testing.

Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can directly go to the special channel for fever and respiratory disease in AM Hospital for treatment.

It's not as fast as the number of infected patients last week.

On the morning of June 2, Gu Ji planned to continue to go to the laboratory center to test his PCR to see if he was infected with MERS, which has become a thing he must do every day.

As a result, I was just about to enter the outpatient clinic.

When he was confronted, he saw four or five men in suits and leather shoes running towards him, led by his immediate boss: Son Jae-seok.

"Kim Ji-gyu! What the hell do you want to do, disappear for more than ten days in a row, no phone calls, no text messages ......"

While Sun Jae-seok scolded loudly, he also wanted to reach out to grab Gu Ji's collar, but he was dodged by retreating, making his dead fish eyes almost stare out of his sockets, "Ah! Kim Ji-gyu! Don't you want to do it! ”

"I'm sorry Attorney General, I've been busy these days."

"Busy eucalyptus? You're embarrassed to say it! You're the one who spreads the rumors of the 'anthrax attack' at Sansang Hospital, right? Jin Zhijiu, is your brain rusty, and you dare to say this kind of nonsense? Do you know how many complaint calls have come to me! ”

The calmer and calmer Gu Ji became, the more angry Son Jae-seok became.

The secretary and prosecutor next to him also echoed.

"Yes, Prosecutor Kim, haven't you been tracking down the eucalyptus at the Osan base, why did you suddenly start to check MERS patients, I see that you have been moving between the hospital and the CDC for the past few days."

"The anthrax oolong incident you fabricated has had a very bad impact on our central district inspection, so you should go back and write a review obediently!"

"Who said I made it up? Didn't the United States just break out about transporting weapons-grade anthrax bacillus to China half a month ago? ”

In the face of the difficulties of several people, Gu Ji prepared his rhetoric early, "I investigated it because the U.S. military biochemical laboratory has always existed at the Osan base, secretly researching biological weapons. ”

"What? Where did you get the news! ”

When Son Jae-seok heard the news, his face was full of surprise.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" At this time, a fat prosecutor behind him subconsciously coughed twice.

The accompanying secretary patted him on the shoulder, wanting to care, but he didn't expect that the moment the investigator turned around, the droplets in his mouth were all sprinkled on the secretary's neck and chest at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahem, I'm fine."

The fat prosecutor coughed uncontrollably, and small, transparent oral droplets splashed into the air and scattered around Son Jae-seok's group, some of them fell on their clothes, some fell on the skin on the back of their hands, and some of the fine droplet particles swayed with the air and were finally inhaled into the lungs by several people.

Seeing this, Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.

"When did you start coughing and where have you been in the last 14 days?"

"What cough? Oh, I've just had a cold recently, my throat is a little uncomfortable, it's nothing, ahem! The fat prosecutor waved his hand casually, and couldn't help coughing twice on the way.

But then he reacted, "Ah! I said Prosecutor Kim, just take care of yourself, you really are a disease control doctor! You are a prosecutor, and your duty is to check ......"

"I'll ask you one last time, where have you been!"

Gu Jimeng lifted his eyelids and stared at each other, his eyes seemed to be able to kill.

Especially the rough facial lines of "Jin Zhijiu" made the fat prosecutor feel the blood and anger rushing to his face, "I, I have accompanied my wife to Sansang Hospital before. ”

It's mulberry again.

"You should go to the laboratory of AM Hospital immediately and test the PCR ......"

"Kim Ji-gyu!

”

Sun Jae-seok suddenly roared, and the dead fish eyes glared at Gu Ji angrily, "I order you to immediately investigate the matter of the biochemical laboratory of the Osan base, early tomorrow morning, I will see the report appear on my desk, otherwise you will be directly suspended and inspected!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Ji to answer, he left the outpatient door without looking back.

Other prosecutors and secretaries hurriedly followed Son Jae-seok and opened the car door for him.

Gu Ji took out his phone and was about to contact Jiang Youzhen and ask her to find a way to force the Ministry of Welfare and Health to carry out emergency response measures, while watching the two cars of Son Jae-seok's group slowly drive away from the hospital.

"Sneerβ€”β€”!"

"Boom!"

But not long after the convoy turned out of the hospital gate, there was a sudden series of piercing frictions, followed by a loud crash.

Gu Jitong Kong expanded, hurriedly put down the phone and ran out.

On the way, all the hospital patients stood in place, looking out of the gate curiously.

At the intersection in front of AM Hospital, two cars collided on the street, and one car rushed to kill the steering wheel in order to avoid the accident, turned into the sidewalk, smashed the glass door of the shop, and rushed into the house.

"Ahβ€”β€”!h

"Run!"

"Wow, it's all (help)!"

The streets were chaotic, with shards of glass and broken car doors strewn to the ground and the smell of gasoline, and passers-by crowded together, watching everything in front of them in panic, some of them even frighteningly frozen in place, at a loss.

"Everyone hurry away from the scene! Notify the traffic police and fire police immediately! Fast!

”

Gu Ji waved his arms and loudly reminded the onlookers.

ran to the center of the car accident, but I didn't expect that the vehicle that was hit was the group of Son Jae-seok who had just left the hospital!

The inside of the car at the scene was extremely bloody.

The fat prosecutor in charge of driving the car hit his head on the side window, blood flowed out of the airbag and glass cracks, staining the black paint of the door panels, and the co-pilot and Son Jae-seok and others in the back seat were also ripped out of their foreheads.

"Attorney General! Attorney General! ”

"Uh-huh......"

Gu Ji desperately slapped the car window and woke up Son Jae-seok, who was unconscious inside.

He groaned twice, tried to open his eyes a slit, and finally realized that he had been in a car accident, so he hurriedly pulled the door handle, but he couldn't open the door at all, "Kim Ji-gyu!" Get me out! Fast! ”

Gu Ji pulled from the outside, but he didn't move at all, it should be the deformation of the door frame caused by the car accident.

So he reminded him, "Stand back and cover your face with your arms!" ”

When the words fell, Gu Ji's eyes froze, his legs kicked and flicked, and in a blink of an eye, he pounced, and his right arm was like a gun in mid-air, stabbing at the corner of the car window.

"Whoa!"

The glass was smashed by his elbow, and a large amount of glass slag was scattered on Son Jae-seok's body, which made him scream in fright.

"Stop shouting! Give me your hands and I'll pull you out! ”

Gu Ji grabbed his wrist and dragged Sun Jae-seok's upper body out of the side window.

Then pulled out one after another, except for the fat prosecutor.

Because the cab was the most squeezed and deformed, coupled with his fat, he was stuck by the airbag and seat belt, and he couldn't pull it at all.

Fortunately, the patrolling traffic police quickly arrived at the scene and prepared to use tools to forcibly pry the car door.

Gu Ji handed over the scene to the professionals, returned to Son Jae-seok, and asked, "Why did the car accident happen suddenly?" ”

"I don't know, it seems that Min Zhe suddenly lost his breath and fell headlong on the steering wheel, and then he ......"

The "Min Zhe" in Son Jae-seok's mouth is the fat prosecutor.

Gu Ji muttered symptoms in his mouth, "fever, cough, severe difficulty breathing...... Does Min Zhe have any medical history? ”

"He has not been in good health, with high blood pressure and high blood lipids, as well as moderate fatty liver."

The accompanying secretary covered his bleeding head and said in pain.

"No wonder he got seriously ill so quickly, it turned out that he had underlying diseases, so you guys should go to the hospital with me for isolation and observation first, and do a PCR test."

"Isolation? Kim Ji-gyu, we just suffered some external injuries, so we don't need to be hospitalized for observation, right? ”

"Were you stupid from a car accident? I'm talking about quarantine! Min Zhe has been infected with MERS, do you want to be like him? ”

Hearing Gu Ji mention "mers", Sun Jae-seok and others reacted.

At this time, a crowd of onlookers also began to cover their mouths and cough.

Originally, I thought that this thing was just like the new flu, not worth mentioning, but after experiencing this car accident, several people suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

"Kim Ji-gyu, you said we could also be infected with MERS?"

"Oh my God, we're not going to die!"

"Don't say so much yet, get up quickly and follow me to the hospital!" In the process of Gu Ji urging a few people, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrate, and it was Jiang Youzhen calling, "Hey? What's wrong! ”

"Bad news! The investigation team has just received data reports from the KCDC and the World Health Organization, the number of infected people in the country has increased to 25 today, and the number of dead patients has increased to 2, one of the infected patients, from Osan Air Base, is the first case of MERS infection in the South Korean military, and the most terrifying thing is that what you say may be true! ”

Speaking of which, Rao was born in a chaebol and Jiang Youzhen, who had seen a big scene, trembled in his tone:

"There is news from within Sansang Hospital that hospital patients who live in a separate ward 10 meters away from the first MERS patient have also been diagnosed with MERS, breaking the claim of the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Welfare and Health that 'it cannot be transmitted through the air', and now experts estimate that the MERS virus in South Korea is likely to mutate and can be transmitted through the air or three infections, if this is the case......

"If that's the case." Gu Ji opened his mouth and repeated, interrupting Jiang Youzhen and staring at the fat prosecutor who had just been rescued by the traffic police.

"The real outbreak of infection is coming!"
