Chapter 77: A Long Way to Go
Came to the destination of this trip.
Lu Feng finally knew how serious the animal flu was this time!
As far as the eye can see, it's all a barrier.
and heavily armed protective personnel.
These are veterinarians drawn from various animal husbandry stations.
This area.
Lu Feng came once before when he was playing, and it was very lively.
To the east is the wholesale fruit market
To the west is the Department Store Plaza.
In the middle is a paradise on earth.
In normal times, there is a lot of traffic and overcrowding.
But now.
But the door is full of birds, and it is extremely deserted.
Lao Liu introduced the cause of the animal flu to Lu Feng.
Originally.
Animal flu only appeared in a vegetable market in Xicheng District.
At that time, it was identified as avian influenza.
It was just some chickens and ducks that died.
At that time, the scale was small and did not arouse the alarm of the vendors, until later, the situation became more and more serious.
Overnight, dozens of chickens and ducks died.
They panicked and hurriedly reported the situation.
The authorities acted very quickly, and soon sent professionals to investigate.
And organize epidemic prevention.
Then.
It still hasn't attracted much attention.
Because avian influenza is so common, the epidemic prevention department already has a mature response system.
They thought it was a very common case of bird flu.
So.
The plan adopted is not much different from the past.
Remove the source of disease, disinfect and sterilize.
It did work at first, and the situation was quickly brought under control.
It's just unexpected.
This outbreak of avian flu was not simple, and a few days later, a variant actually appeared.
The virus is not only transmitted from bird to bird, but also to other mammals, such as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
Then.
The experts in epidemic prevention suddenly woke up, and they were very likely to have encountered an extremely rare super virus.
To know.
The virus is ferocious.
However, its requirements for the host are extremely harsh.
A virus that usually only spreads between species.
It's like AIDS.
It is usually transmitted only from one primate to another, and has little egg effect on other organisms.
And also.
Avian influenza is extremely lethal to birds such as chickens and ducks, and it kills when touched.
But against humans, there is nothing they can do.
There is a large span between each species, and viruses are also picky eaters, so it is difficult to infect both this species and that species.
But.
This animal influenza virus was discovered in front of my eyes.
is a half-hearted "Sea King".
It can not only infect birds, but also do not refuse many mammals.
Although no cases of human infection have been found, if we don't take strict precautions, the devil knows if this thing will extend its claws to humans when it mutates again?
"Fortunately, the animal flu has been temporarily brought under control and has not spread except in this urban area." Lao Liu said slowly.
Lu Feng's eyes flashed, and he proposed: "Stationmaster, since this is the case, then let's arrest all the animals in this urban area, and destroy them in a centralized manner, won't it be over?" ”
This approach, while inhumane, is certainly not the best way to solve the problem.
After all.
Animals are not people.
Anything compared to people, that is to retreat three points!
Let alone.
This is still a multi-species supervirus, and it is impossible for national agencies to develop vaccines related to it.
For Lu Feng's proposal.
Lao Liu groaned: "Someone said about your idea, but it was quickly rejected. ”
"Why?" Lu Feng asked.
"Because this virus is a graded infection, there is a mother!"
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows, and he didn't understand it at first glance.
Lao Liu explained seriously.
"Have you ever seen a vampire movie?"
"I've seen a little."
"If the same group of humans is bitten by a first-generation vampire, the bitten person will become a second-generation vampire, and those bitten by the second-generation will become a third-generation vampire, and so on."
"The first generation of vampires is the mother, and the closer the infected are to the mother's bloodline, the stronger the ability!"
"Mutations are followed by new mothers."
"The current situation is that the first, second, and third generations of different variants of influenza viruses are intertwined and spread to each other."
"If the parent body of transmission cannot be found, it will be difficult to concentrate on destruction."
After listening to Lao Liu's explanation, Lu Feng seemed to understand.
Lao Liu saw that Lu Feng didn't understand very well, and wanted to say it in more detail.
Then.
A group of people came ahead.
"Lao Liu, why did you bring someone over today?"
See the people who came.
Lao Liu smiled and took the initiative to introduce: "Director Li, this is a newcomer in my station, his name is Lu Feng, and he is a good seedling, so I will bring him over to open his eyes." ”
Speaking of which.
He turned his head to look at Lu Feng: "Xiao Lu, this is Director Li of the epidemic prevention station." ”
Lu Feng hurriedly said hello.
Director Li glanced at him and nodded slightly.
"Well, that's good, good-looking, a talent!"
With a word of praise, Director Li quickly shifted his attention.
Because next to him, there is also a figure of stars holding the moon!
The man was a middle-aged man in his thirties, thin and wearing a pair of glasses.
However, he looked arrogant.
With two hands behind him, the score was bigger than Director Li.
Lao Liu is also very unfamiliar with this person.
So, I asked the person next to me.
Subsequently.
Someone introduced: "This is an animal epidemic prevention expert who came back from studying abroad, Mr. Wang Shoucheng!" ”
"He is the backbone of the official specially invited to solve this animal flu incident, and in the next few days, we will all follow his deployment and instructions."
Hear the words.
Lao Liu's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to Wang Shoucheng with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to show favor to the other party.
"Hello Mr. Wang, welcome to visit and guide and preside over the work here."
Wang Shoucheng didn't look at Lao Liu at all, let alone shake hands with him, his eyes swept over, and he said to Director Li: "Director Li, these domestic epidemic prevention personnel are not professional, if you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, I propose that it is best to let my team take over the scene completely." ”
That's a hurtful thing to say.
Not only did Lao Liu's face change, but those old veterinarians who were transferred from various animal husbandry stations like Lao Liu all looked gloomy.
They've been working so hard for so long.
As a result, in exchange for a sentence of "unprofessional"?!
Director Li's face froze, and he said with a dry smile: "Mr. Wang, there is a lot of strength, your team has no problem coming in, these people who have been transferred are ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Shoucheng said bluntly: "As for them, just run errands and do chores, as long as you don't hinder me from doing things, it doesn't matter if you go home and sleep." ”
As soon as this remark came out.
Everyone was furious, if it weren't for Director Li being here, I'm afraid someone would have sprayed on the spot.
Lu Feng glanced at this person, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Let's not talk about this person's skills.
Character alone.
It's not a good bird!
For everyone's dissatisfaction, Wang Shoucheng, who was empty-eyed, chose to ignore it.
Moreover.
He also said with a gun and a stick between his words: "Don't blame me for speaking badly. ”
"If you were useful, the situation would not have evolved into such an unmanageable situation."
Speaking of which.
He also sighed sadly: "Hey! There is still a long way to go in the construction of animal epidemic prevention in China. ”
