crisis management game.

Chapter 264 Infection Outbreak

"Set up an investigation team?"

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

Gu Ji just finished speaking.

The doctors and experts who participated in the meeting began to lower their heads and discuss in low voices.

"This is the first time I have seen such an investigation team."

"The investigation is too difficult. Is it necessary? From the discovery of MERS to now, only 3 people have been infected!"

Gu Ji glanced at it, expressionless.

He has now completely regarded this national public health crisis as a game.

Then "game data" is the most important.

This is actually the same principle as anti-terrorism.

Data equals information intelligence.

Only by keeping abreast of the infection situation in the country at all times can he formulate a reasonable solution strategy for a certain area, instead of running around and only looking at the present as before.

"We, AM Medical, have branches in major cities in China, and we have very close cooperation with the local CDC. We will try our best to implement your suggestion, but..."

Jiang Youzhen crossed his hands, his two green onion-like index fingers were slightly entangled, and changed the topic.

"Initiating response measures, without the help of the government, is difficult to implement by our hospital alone, and the general public will not easily cooperate. This requires a lot of manpower and funds, especially the endorsement of the Blue House."

"I know that we can take the initiative to send people to be stationed in airports, important ports and other places, provide tourists with temperature measurement registration, and distribute masks and disinfectant wipes for free. For the currently infected hospitals in Seoul Special City and Gyeonggi Province, Set up a dedicated channel for fever and respiratory diseases, separate and isolate from ordinary patients, and check the epidemiological history of patients."

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

"This is reporter Lin. I will ask her to conduct online publicity on AM Medical from now on. You can send several experts to broadcast live in shifts every day, mainly to promote personal protection, self-isolation, and raise public awareness. Free protective suits are drawn every day to attract people. flow."

Originally, everyone complained about the "investigation team".

As soon as I heard that I had to find someone to station at the airport for free, live broadcast, and give free masks, disinfectant, and protective suits to civilians. How much manpower and money would this waste?
"I disagree, this is a waste of hospital resources!"

"I also disagree. Judging from several MERS incidents announced by the World Health Organization in the past, there were no more than four infected people. I think this incident in China will end soon, and there is no need to go to war like this."

"Prosecutor Jin, have you calculated the investment ratio in detail before formulating the strategy? Do you know how much money is needed just to prepare these masks and disinfectant!"

a time.

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

Gu Ji didn't argue with them, but spoke in a flat voice.

"Of course I know that this will be a big expense, so I suggest that you build your own factory production line, which can reduce costs. The traffic that is drained through free distribution of publicity in the early stage will be fed back to AM Hospital in the middle and late stages."

"Build a production line?"

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

A production line costs hundreds of millions or even billions of won. Is this person crazy for such a huge investment?
Jiang Youzhen noticed the hidden meaning of Gu Ji's words.

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

"What do you think? From the announcement of the first case by the Department of Disease Management on the 20th, within 3 days, the number of infected people rose to 3, and all of them came from hospital treatment. Once the virus mutates, it has the ability to continue human-to-human transmission. What do you think? With the way the hospital is handling it now, can it stop the virus from spreading?"

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

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

If it really develops according to Gu Ji's prediction.

Then South Korea is bound to usher in an international public health emergency. At that time, people across the country will need a large number of medical protective items such as masks, disinfectant alcohol, and gloves.

Jiang Youzhen seemed to see a great opportunity for the rise of AM Medical.

She looked from far to near, and her eyes showed firmness, "Okay, let's do what Prosecutor Jin wants!"

"Director Jiang, isn't it too risky to make a decision now..."

"I have decided."

Jiang Youzhen directly interrupted the hospital representative, and then turned to look at Gu Ji, "I didn't expect Prosecutor Jin to have such a wealth of experience in the field of public health. I hope we can cooperate happily!"

"It's not too late, I'll let Reporter Lin come over now!"

Gu Ji directly called Lin Renna.

"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, but he was born in a wealthy family, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child. In addition, he graduated from a famous American school, so he has strong execution ability.

She quickly arranged for the establishment of a national MERS investigation team within the group, and dispatched medical teams to airports and ports.

In order to better promote AM medical care.

Jiang Youzhen even found a special room for the construction team to redecorate as a live broadcast room for experts to broadcast live every day.

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

Jiang Youzhen's younger brother was younger, he looked exactly like a student who had just graduated from university, with wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, and long hair tied behind his head, full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

It's just that Gu Ji always felt that this face seemed familiar.

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

what! ?

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

It was unbelievable that he could see "Jiang Songyuan" again.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Ji realized it.

When I read the news, it was indeed mentioned that this guy is from a chaebol family of AM Electronics Group in South Korea. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Hello, Prosecutor Jin."

When he was young, Jiang Songyuan looked very polite, and he reached out to greet Gu Ji.

I don't know if he speaks now to dissuade this kid from going to Ethiopia in the future, or remind him to keep a low profile, will it change history.

But Gu Ji didn't do that.

After all, if someone you just met tells you about ten years later, no one will believe you, not to mention he doesn't owe Jiang Songyuan anything.

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

A few days passed.

According to the data provided by the MERS investigation team, there are currently 18 infected people in South Korea, 715 close contacts, and the first death patient, and the infection area has also expanded to 5.

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 importation of Korean infected people into the country.

The main reason is that the South Korean government is really lagging behind.

The son of the third confirmed MERS patient came to the hospital with a high fever, but not only was he not included in the quarantine, 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 left the country and flew to Xiangzhou with a high fever.

Even so, the Ministry of Health and Welfare still has not released the list of hospitals.

Just posted a "MERS Prevention Essentials" on Facebook, reminding the Korean people to be careful of camels, warning everyone to avoid close contact with camels, not to eat unsterilized camel milk, and undercooked camel meat, because in the Middle East In the region, camels are the source of MERS infection.

In fact, camels are rarely seen in South Korea except in places like zoos.

Saying it means not saying it.

Fortunately, Gu Ji organized and launched response measures in advance, and began to issue early warnings to several large private hospitals in Gyeonggi-do and Seoul, reminding the public not to go to crowded places, and to give priority to the free medical station established by AM for PCR testing.

Once diagnosed, you can go directly to the special channel for fever and respiratory diseases in AM Hospital for treatment.

At least it is not as fast as the number of infected patients rose last week.

On the morning of June 6, Gu Jiben planned to continue to go to the laboratory to test the PCR to see if he was infected with MERS. This has become a must-do for him every day.

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

He saw four or five men in suits and leather shoes running towards him, and the leader was his immediate superior: Sun Zaixi.

"Jin Zhijiu! What on earth do you want to do? You have been missing for more than ten days in a row, and you don't answer your phone calls or text messages..."

While Sun Zaixi yelled loudly, he wanted to reach out to grab Gu Ji's collar, but he backed away, making his dead fish eyes almost pop out of his sockets, "Ah! Jin Zhijiu! Don't you want to do it anymore! "

"Sorry Chief Prosecutor, I've been busy with the case these days."

"Busy on a case? Are you ashamed to say it! You are the one who spread rumors of 'anthrax attack' at Shansang Hospital? Jin Zhijiu, is your brain rusty? Do you dare to say such things casually? Do you know how many people there are?" Call me to complain!"

The calmer Gu Ji behaved, the angrier Sun Zaixi became.

The secretaries and prosecutors next to him also echoed.

"Yes, Prosecutor Jin, haven't you been investigating the Osan base case? Why did you suddenly start investigating MERS patients? I see that you have been moving between the hospital and the CDC these days."

"The anthrax oolong incident you fabricated has brought a very bad influence on our Central District Procuratorate. You should obediently go back and write a review!"

"Who said I fabricated it? Didn't the United States just explode half a month ago to send weapon-grade anthrax to China?"

Faced with the difficulties of several people, Gu Ji had already prepared his speech, "I investigated it because there has always been a biochemical laboratory of the U.S. military in the Wushan base, secretly researching biological weapons."

"What? Where did you get the news from!"

Sun Zaixi was surprised when he heard the news.

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

The accompanying secretary patted him on the shoulder. He wanted to be concerned, but he didn't expect that the moment the investigator turned his head, the droplets from his mouth fell on the secretary's neck and chest at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Cough, I'm fine."

The fat prosecutor coughed uncontrollably. Small transparent droplets from his mouth splashed into the air and scattered around Sun Zaixi and his group. The particles, swaying with the air, were eventually inhaled into the lungs of several people.

Seeing this, Gu Ji frowned.

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

"What cough? Oh, I just caught a cold recently, and my throat feels a little uncomfortable. I'm fine, cough!" The fat prosecutor waved his hand casually, and couldn't help coughing twice on the way.

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

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

Gu Ji raised his eyelids suddenly, and stared at the other party, his eyes seemed to be capable of killing people.

Especially the rough facial lines of "Jin Zhijiu" made the fat prosecutor feel bloody and hostile, "I, I went to Shansang Hospital with my wife before."

Another mulberry.

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

"Jin Zhijiu!!"

Sun Zaixi roared suddenly, and the dead fish eyes glared at Gu Ji angrily, "I order you to investigate the biochemical laboratory of Wushan base immediately, and I will see the report appearing on my desk tomorrow morning, otherwise you Just suspend immediately and accept the inspection!"

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

The other prosecutors and secretaries quickly followed Sun Zaixi and opened the car door for him.

Gu Ji took out his phone and was about to contact Jiang Youzhen, asking her to find a way to force the Ministry of Welfare and Health Care to carry out emergency response measures, while watching the two cars of Sun Zaixi's group as they slowly drove away from the hospital.

"Chichichi—!"

"Boom!"

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

Gu Ji's pupils dilated, he put down the phone hastily and ran outside.

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

At the intersection in front of the AM Hospital, two cars collided in the street, and another car killed the steering wheel in a hurry to avoid the accident, turned into the sidewalk, smashed the glass door of the store, and rushed into the house.

"what--!"

"Run!"

"Wow, yes (help)!"

The streets were in chaos, shards of glass and broken car doors were scattered on the ground, exuding a strong smell of gasoline, passing passers-by crowded together, looking at everything in front of them in panic, some people were even frightened and stood still in place , at a loss.

"Everyone leave the scene quickly! Immediately notify the traffic police and fire alarm! Quick!!"

Gu Ji waved his arms, loudly reminding the onlookers.

Running to the center of the car accident, he didn't expect that the car hit was exactly the group of Sun Zaixi who had just left the hospital!

The scene inside the car was extremely bloody.

The fat prosecutor in charge of the car hit his head on the side window, blood flowed from the airbag and cracks in the glass, staining the black paint of the door panel red, and the co-pilot and Sun Zaixi and others in the back row also had their foreheads bruised. Strips of blood were cut out.

"Chief Prosecutor! Chief Prosecutor!"

"Ugh..."

Gu Ji desperately flapped the car window, waking Sun Zaixi who was unconscious inside.

He groaned twice, tried to open his eyes a crack, and finally realized that he was in a car accident, so he hurriedly pulled the door handle, but he couldn't open the door at all, "Jin Zhijiu! Get me out quickly! Quick!"

Gu Ji pulled it from the outside, but it didn't move at all. It should be that the door frame was deformed due to a car accident.

So I reminded him, "Get back quickly and cover your face with your arms!"

After the words were finished, Gu Ji's eyes froze, his legs kicked and flicked, and he rushed forward in a blink of an eye, his right arm clamped his elbow in mid-air like a gun, and slammed towards the corner of the car window.

"Whoa!"

The glass was smashed by the elbow, and a large amount of glass shards scattered on Sun Zaixi's body, making him scream in fright.

"Stop shouting! Give me your hand, and I'll pull you out!"

Gu Ji grabbed his wrist and pulled Sun Zaixi's upper body out of the side window.

Then one after another was pulled out, only the fat prosecutor remained.

Because the cab was squeezed and deformed the most, and he was fatter, and he was stuck by the airbag and seat belt, so he couldn't move at all.

Fortunately, the patrolling traffic police arrived at the scene soon, ready to forcibly pry open the door with tools.

Gu Ji handed over the scene to professionals, returned to Sun Zaixi, and asked, "Why did the car accident happen suddenly?"

"I don't know, it seems that Min Zhe suddenly couldn't breathe, and fell headlong on the steering wheel, and then, just..."

The "Min Zhe" that Sun Jae-seok said was the fat prosecutor.

Gu Ji muttered about symptoms, "Fever, cough, severe breathing difficulties... Does Min Zhe have any medical history?"

"He has always been in poor health, with high blood pressure, high blood fat, and moderate fatty liver."

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

"No wonder he became seriously ill so quickly. It turns out that he has underlying diseases. You guys should go to the hospital with me for isolation and observation, and do a PCR test."

"Isolation? Jin Zhijiu, we just suffered some trauma, don't we need to be hospitalized for observation?"

"Are you guys stunned by a car accident? I'm talking about quarantine! Min Zhe has already been infected with MERS, do you want to be like him?"

Hearing Gu Ji mentioned "MERS", Sun Zaixi and the others reacted.

It just so happened that a crowd of onlookers also began to cover their mouths and cough.

At first, they thought this thing was just like a new type of flu, not worth mentioning, but after the car accident, several people felt a chill down their spines.

"Jin Zhijiu, you said that we may also be infected with MERS?"

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

"Don't talk so much, get up quickly and go to the hospital with me!" While Gu Ji was urging the others, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated, and it was Jiang Youzhen who called, "Hello? What's the matter!"

"Bad news! The investigation team has just received data reports from KCDC and the World Health Organization. Today, the number of infected people in the country has increased to 25, and the number of dead patients has increased to 2. One of the infected patients is from Osan Air Force Base, South Korea. The first case of MERS infection in the military, the most frightening thing is that what you said may be true!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Youzhen, who was born in a chaebol and had seen the big scene, trembled in his tone:
"There was news from within Sansang Hospital that a hospital patient living in a separate ward 10 meters away from the first MERS patient was also diagnosed with MERS, breaking the statement of the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health and Welfare that 'it will not be transmitted through the air'" , now experts predict that the MERS virus that is prevalent in South Korea this time is likely to mutate, and it can be transmitted through the air or infected three times, if this is the case..."

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

"The real infection outbreak is coming!"
