Mr Zhan is back

Chapter 9 NCP Comeback
"In any case, when we come into contact with a live strain of the virus, we must do a good job of isolation and protection, and we must not be careless."

While operating in the war epidemic, he was talking seriously to Zuo Xiaolin.

Time passed minute by minute, seeing Zhan Epidemic's expression getting more and more dignified, the people in the laboratory looked at each other in blank dismay, and each of them dared not take a breath in their tense atmosphere, for fear of distracting Zhan Epidemic.

Zuo Xiaolin had never seen such a focused expression during the war epidemic before.Judging from the expression of the eyebrows in the war epidemic, the results of the blood samples sent by the patients in the emergency room did not seem to be optimistic.

Zuo Xiaolin screamed in her heart that something was wrong, she became worried about her own father Zuo Wanqing.

"Positive, how could this be? It's really an NCP infection!" After muttering to himself, Zhan Yanli looked back at Zuo Xiaolin beside him.

NCP!Everyone in the laboratory is no stranger to this virus that swept the world at the beginning, the virus that turned the color of the map into red that year, and the NCP that made all countries nervous, how could they not know.

"But this NCP virus has disappeared for almost ten years, how could it reappear?"

Zuo Xiaolin asked in a low voice, she had her puzzles and doubts.In her impression, the NCP was controlled and extinct back then.Where did this virus come from without a vector.

In fact, when they saw the changes on the nucleic acid test strips, everyone in the laboratory knew it was true because of the frightened expression on their faces.

It was too late to answer Zuo Xiaolin's question, so he first arranged work with Zuo Xiaolin during the epidemic.

"Little neighbor, let the emergency department immediately report the NCP infection case to the country A virus prevention and control center as a Class A infectious disease. I will call the dean now, and the hospital will be closed now." During the war epidemic, the work at hand was stopped, He gave instructions to the little neighbor on the left.

Wang Yedong looked aside again during the war epidemic, "Xiao Wang, you call the emergency room now, tell Director Zuo the result, and take another blood sample from the patient. Next, we need to extract live virus strains, analyze the gene sequence, and find the matching medication."

After the explanation, Zhan Yanli handed over the samples in his hand to Wang Xiaodong, walked out of the laboratory, and called Tan Xitong.

"Old Tan, I have a serious matter to report to you now. In order to avoid the tragedy ten years ago and control the spread of the virus, we need to close the hospital now. The patient's blood sample was tested positive for nucleic acid. Now it is certain that The patient is indeed NCP-infected." Zhan Epidemic directly stated the results to Lao Tan on the phone.

When Tan Xitong heard that it was NCP, he was so frightened that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground. "Xiao Zhan, what did you say? Is that patient really an NCP? Okay, okay, I will immediately report to the city council and ask the city council to assist in the investigation of relevant contact persons. If necessary, the city and districts will be closed."

After calling Tan Xitong, he rubbed his temples tiredly in the war epidemic.Seeing that Zuo Xiaolin was still beside him, he hurriedly put away his tired face and asked thoughtfully. "Girl, are you lucky or unlucky, you just met NCP when you became my assistant!"

"Mr. Zhan, there is one thing I don't quite understand. I have the impression that NCP was extinct ten years ago, and it hasn't recurred in the past ten years. Why is this patient infected with NCP? Where did the source of infection come from? What is the host of..."

Zuo Xiaolin asked a long list of questions, which really made it hard to know where to start and where to start in the war epidemic in front of him.

In the war epidemic, he knew that if he didn't speak again, the girl in front of him would keep asking.He had no choice but to push a thousand catties in four or two, leaving Zuo Xiaolin with nothing to ask.

"Want to figure it out? That's what we do as virus pathologists."

Zuo Xiaolin blushed. Isn't these questions exactly what they should do as virus pathology researchers?Only by doing thousands of experiments can we find the truth. "Mr. Zhan, that one is free now, can I call my dad?"

They are both children, and they understand Zuo Xiaolin's feelings during the war epidemic.But out of comfort, he still didn't want Zuo Xiaolin to worry.

"If it is discovered early, the possibility of infection should be low. Besides, your father will be fine if he takes protection in advance."

Zuo Xiaolin was also secretly glad that when she went to see Zuo Wanqing today, Zuo Wanqing had indeed put on protective clothing.Thinking of this, Zuo Xiaolin felt much more at ease.

In the rest area of ​​the laboratory, Zuo Xiaolin dialed Zuo Wanqing's phone number, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Dad, how are you now? Is there any discomfort? I already know that the patient is infected with NCP, Dad...you have to be careful!"

Because he was wearing protective clothing and the phone was isolated, Zuo Xiaolin's voice was a little low, Zuo Wanqing agreed a few times, "Okay, okay..." and hung up Zuo Xiaolin's phone.

Zuo Wanqing saw that Situ Hanbing was taking the patient's temperature, "Xiaobing, what's the patient's temperature now?"

Situ Hanbing was also wearing a protective suit, "40 degrees, master, the patient's temperature is still high, what should I do? I've already received two antipyretic injections... If the fever continues like this, I'm afraid the patient won't be able to hold on."

Zuo Wanqing stepped forward and rolled the patient's eyelids, and looked at the fundus of the patient's eyes.

"Continue to physically cool down, prepare more ice packs, put them in the patient's armpits, and observe the patient's body temperature at any time. Also, in this ward, except for you and the other two nurses, no one else can wait to enter to avoid secondary infection. "

As the director of the emergency department, Zuo Wanqing had to make arrangements to transfer the 11 people who came into contact with the patient to the East Hospital at 33:[-] p.m.Zuo Wanqing is thankful that he made the doctors and nurses in contact with the patients wear protective clothing in advance today.

****
The phone rang quickly from the Nanguang City Mayor's Office.He Chengguang asked the secretary who was reporting to the side to silence first, then picked up the phone, "Hi, I'm He Chengguang."

"Mayor He, I'm Tan Xitong. I have a very urgent matter and I want to report it to you. Our hospital found the first case of NCP..." He Chengguang shook his hand holding the phone and asked noncommittally, "Sure?"

Facing He Chengguang's questioning, Tan Xitong felt a little headache.

"Mayor He, how dare I joke with you! It's true! The professor in the war epidemic has tested the patient's blood sample for nucleic acid, and it was indeed positive. This is the first NCP found in Nanguang City...in order to prevent the virus spread, I now propose to you to close the city."

Ten years ago, NCP ravaged the world, and He Chengguang felt a little scared when he thought about it.That year, because the NCP brought various losses to countries, it was a disaster.

He Chengguang never imagined that NCP, who had been absent for ten years, would make a comeback in Nanguang.History is always an amazing coincidence. What was unexpected was that ten years ago, Nanguang was the place where the first NCP in country A was discovered.
