Chapter 262: Looking at the entire history, it is quite explosive (5000 words, please vote for me)
By now.
Gu Ji could only go to an extreme.
At six o'clock in the evening, he woke up again from the ringing of the phone next to his ear. It seemed that since yesterday, he had always fallen asleep easily and unknowingly.
Gu Ji originally thought it was the appraisal report from AM Hospital.
He couldn't wait to pick up the phone, but it turned out to be the Central Branch police officer who went to his apartment in the afternoon.
"Prosecutor Jin, your parents have just been harassed by gangs. Fortunately, we deployed police officers nearby and caught two gangsters from the Mountain Dog Gang. No one was injured."
"Thank you for your hard work, please continue to keep an eye on me."
Gu Ji didn't say much.
Although it seems a bit cold-blooded to leave his parents in the care of outsiders, Shan Sang's current purpose is to divert his energy.
If he really goes after the Mountain Dog Gang, then he will naturally have no energy to take care of MERS patients.
What's more, he has already developed symptoms and running around will only become a spreader of the virus.
Not long after the call was hung up, another call came in.
It's an unknown number.
Gu Jiyi narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to answer.
A young woman's voice actually appeared on the phone.
"Is this Prosecutor Kim? I am AM Medical Director, Jiang Youzhen. Your virus test report has come out. The dual-target PCR test is positive. The MERS-CoV virus was isolated from the lower respiratory tract mucus specimen. The clinical diagnosis confirms that you are now infected. MERS!"
"call……"
Hearing the word "diagnosed", Gu Ji felt complicated.
"Prosecutor Kim, you don't need to worry. AM Medical has the most advanced medical resources in South Korea. We will send someone to take you to the hospital immediately..."
"I will go there myself and send the report over first. I need it urgently."
After receiving the photos of Jiang Youzhen's virus identification results, Gu Ji endured his dizziness and took out his prosecutor's ID from his pocket. He raised his left hand to his chest and turned his phone camera into selfie mode with his right hand. "Hello everyone, I am Kim Ji-goo, prosecutor of the Public Security Section of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Seoul, Republic of Korea, I want to report to Seoul Sansang Hospital in real name for deliberately concealing the patient’s infection with MERS..."
That's right.
What Gu Ji calls going to extremes is reporting with his real name!
Only the real-name video of the prosecutor of the Republic of Korea, who was infected with the MERS virus, was attacked and silenced by gangs, and publicly confronted the chaebol. These factors combined can overpower the news and public opinion that San Sang fabricated the "North Korean anthrax invasion."
After he finished recording the video, he immediately sent it to Lin Renna.
Lin Renna's movements were also extremely fast.
On the way to pack things.
The activity on Gu Ji's mobile phone has never stopped, from secretary Bae Namjoo to Son Jae-suk, from phone calls to text messages to social software, and even the chief prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors' Office was alarmed.
In order to avoid being tracked, he temporarily took out his mobile phone card and went down to the hotel basement to drive to AM Hospital without even checking out the room.
AM Hospital is located in southern Seoul and is no smaller than Sansang Hospital.
White buildings stand in the checkerboard-like green belt.
Gu Ji asked the security guard at the door to contact the hospital's senior management.
After a while, an ambulance drove up to the front of the car. The back door opened, and four nurses in white protective suits got out. They picked him up in the ambulance and transferred him to a single room in the inpatient department for isolation treatment.
The expert professor just finished checking Gu Ji's basic situation.
The door to the isolation ward was pushed open, and a woman with strict protection walked in.
Through the goggles, you can see her indifferent expression, but her eyes are very polite. She looks noble and avoids strangers, and she has a sense of familiarity with a Korean chaebol girl.
"Hello Prosecutor Kim, we finally meet."
She was Jiang Youzhen who was in charge of communicating with Gu Ji on the phone, "How are you feeling now?"
"Well enough."
Gu Ji's physical fitness has not been weakened by the system, so the symptoms are still very mild at present. "Have you reported my infection with MERS to the CDC and the Ministry of Health and Welfare?"
"You can rest assured that the hospital has reported the results and specimens to the Health, Welfare and Disease Management Headquarters."
Jiang Youzhen's tone of voice always had a sense of superiority and coldness, "Besides, you have now caused an uproar on the Internet. The topic of 'MERS confirmed patients found in South Korea' has long been spread. I believe that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will announce it soon. announcement."
"That's good……"
After hearing this, Gu Ji could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect that so much energy was expended just to complete the first mission goal. I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to control the spread of the virus later.
At this time, the secretary outside the door walked in and said something unknown in Jiang Youzhen's ear.
"Prosecutor Jin, the people from the Central District Prosecutor's Office are downstairs in the inpatient department. I refused them temporarily on the grounds that the patient needs to be isolated."
As the daughter of the head of AM Electronics, Jiang Youzhen is naturally not afraid of one or two ordinary prosecutors.
"With all due respect, Prosecutor Kim, you don't need to be so extreme. We have better ways to deal with Sansang. By doing this, you are completely breaking up with them, and it will affect your future political career."
She was naturally referring to Gu Ji's real-name report video posted on the Internet.
South Korea is a capital society, and running for parliamentarians often requires a lot of money. Offending the big chaebols will not end well.
"This is the fastest way for the government to seal off San Sang Hospital and control the spread of the virus."
Gu Ji coughed twice.
Jiang Youzhen thought about the words again and again.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Ji again, with a little more respect in his eyes.
Jiang Youzhen originally thought that Gu Ji's purpose was the same as his, to combat Shansang, but he didn't expect that it was to solve this public health incident.
The next day.
Gu Ji was getting an electrolyte drip when he suddenly heard the system beep in his sleep.
[Goal: Discover and report public health crises completed! 】
【Please choose your reward! 】
[Immunity Improvement (Major)] or [Anthrax Antibodies (Special)]
He slowly opened his eyes, and the sunlight streaming into the isolation ward through the window made him instinctively squint.
Look at the reward options in front of you.
Yellow [Immunity Improvement (Large)]: Improves the ability of the immune system by 45%, increases the body's anti-viral ability by 24%, increases the number of specific T cells by 29%, and weakens the variability of the virus in the body by 72%.
History [Anthrax Antibodies (Special)]: Data source: U.S. Department of Defense DTRA Threat Reduction Agency Military Strategy-CBEP Cooperative Biological Participation Program, research results of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Institute of the U.S. and South Korea Osan Base, complete immunity to skin, All types of natural anthrax invade the lungs and intestines, and have a 98.7% chance of being immune to laboratory weapon-grade anthrax invasion.
Anthrax antibodies?
Gu Ji looked at the second reward option and suddenly understood.
It seems that the United States is indeed researching biological weapons at the Osan base, especially the "CBEP Cooperative Biological Participation Program", which seems to be a big deal.
But this level mainly revolves around the MERS virus and has nothing to do with anthrax.
Even in reality, it is of little use.
After all, the only person who could use weapons-grade anthrax would be a terrorist attack or a large-scale biological and chemical warfare. His own immunity alone would have limited effect in the war situation.
On the contrary, the level applicability of immune imprinting is stronger.
Even if the virus cannot be eliminated in the body, a person with high immunity is at least an asymptomatic patient. Especially the point of "weakening the mutation of the virus in the body" is almost equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the virus.
Because viruses are unique compared to other infectious diseases such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites in that they can mutate rapidly, they are extremely difficult to control.
Often a virus can mutate into four, five, or even more than a dozen categories.
Yellow light falls.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, or it’s an extraordinary improvement in immunity.
Gu Ji felt that his body was much more comfortable than last night.
[New goal: control virus-infected areas to less than 7 (inclusive)! 】
[Current number of infected areas: 3]
"Infected area?"
Gu Ji murmured repeatedly and began to recall the areas infected by the MERS incident in South Korea. He could not remember the specific locations clearly. There were about seven or eight of them. One of them was very special and was an imported case. It was Xiangzhou. .
He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Youzhen's number.
She seemed to be busy at work, and the receiver was filled with the sound of flipping documents, "Prosecutor Jin, do you have any questions?"
"Can you help me contact the Disease Control and Prevention Headquarters, especially the Central Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters?"
The two organizations mentioned by Gu Ji are equivalent to the domestic central disaster response center. They are special resolution headquarters established specifically for emergencies such as natural disasters, public health, and major accidents.
Thanks to yellow level language specialization.
These potential cultural name changes have become his instinct.
The advantage of the central special command is that it can gather top experts from across the country to discuss countermeasures.
And implement unified management across the country.
In a state of emergency, this can maximize the central government's coordinating capabilities and resolve the crisis in the shortest possible time.
"I can help you find a way to contact the Disease Control and Prevention Headquarters, but the Central Disaster Management Headquarters has not been established yet. According to the regulations of the National Security Agency, when the new influenza spread across the country in 2009 and 2010, causing 3 million infections, The country will activate the 'Countermeasures Headquarters', but we are not at that stage yet."
"What did you say?"
When Jiang Youzhen explained it for the first time, Gu Ji thought he had a fever and misheard.
But when the other party repeats it for the second time.
Only then did he realize that Jiang Youzhen was not joking.
Gu Jizhen wanted to yell.
Have the brains of those countermeasure experts in the South Korean government been kicked by donkeys!
What is the concept of 3 million infected people?
In 2015, the total population of South Korea was only about 50 million. In other words, according to this standard, only one in every 17 people in the country must be infected to be called an emergency.
According to statistics released by the World Health Organization, the mortality rate of the MERS virus is 38%.
It would take 1.14 million deaths for the South Korean government to be anxious?
Looking at the entire history of human beings, this is quite an explosive existence!
Gu Jiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and gave a brief analysis of the matter, "If we do not establish a disaster response headquarters and implement emergency management now, we will allow the virus to spread and spread to other countries!"
"Prosecutor Kim, having said that, MERS is not very capable of infecting people. The National Health Institute has just released the diagnosis information on its official website to remind the public to pay attention to personal protection."
Gu Ji was still waiting for Jiang Youzhen's next words.
"Then what?"
"Then there was no more."
"there is none left!?"
Gu Ji was completely confused.
Even the most basic emergency management, publicizing the hospital list, and closing off the hospital areas were not implemented.
What's the use of reporting this?
No wonder the number of MERS infections caused by imported cases in other countries has always stayed at the level of 1 to 4 people. Only South Korea saw a rapid surge in the number of infections after the first imported case was diagnosed.
Put aside the mutation of the virus.
This is completely a big problem with the Korean government's level of understanding, response, and sense of responsibility. It has no sense of paying attention to this MERS virus invasion at all.
"Excuse me, Director Jiang, please help me contact the Disease Control and Prevention Headquarters immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ji started checking the Internet for announcements issued by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The result was just as Jiang Youzhen said, just one notification.
The funniest thing is.
He, also known as "Kim Ji-goo", turned out to be the first confirmed infected person in South Korea!
Such a child's play, the real-name reporting video that Gu Ji finally recorded has continued to decline in popularity as the Ministry of Welfare and Health does not pay attention to it.
However, some people still suspected that there were MERS patients in Sansang Hospital and asked the government to disclose the hospital list and the patient's past movements, but no one paid attention.
It's approaching noon.
Only then did Jiang Youzhen send a message saying that the person in charge of the Disease Control and Prevention Headquarters agreed to talk to him.
Gu Ji made a call, and an older voice came from the other side, "This is the crisis response analysis room of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I'm Zheng Yinsheng. Do you have any questions?"
"Director Zheng, this is Jin Jijiu. I would like to ask, why haven't emergency measures been taken even though the imported cases of MERS have been confirmed and the infection has spread domestically?"
"I know you, and I appreciate your efforts in this incident of imported MERS cases."
Zheng Yinsheng first thanked politely, and then explained calmly:
“Although MERS is a third-level virus, its contagion rate is low. It can only be transmitted through droplets and contact, and the number of re-transmissions is limited. According to data released by the WHO, second-generation MERS patients cannot transmit it to others, so no emergency measures are taken. measures are necessary.”
"Director Zheng, if the virus mutates and can continue to be transmitted from person to person, wouldn't it be very dangerous to leave it alone now? I suggest that emergency measures be taken immediately to force hospitals to report MERS conditions and seal off infected hospitals. Quarantine offices have been set up at seaports and airports to check the entry and exit of tourists and commercial ships by taking temperature measurements and filling out forms.”
"Hehehe..."
As soon as Gu Ji finished speaking, Zheng Yinsheng's laughter came from the phone.
"Prosecutor Jin, do you think you are more professional than the World Health Organization? Sorry, it is impossible for me to issue such an order. You should just stay in the hospital for treatment, Dududu..."
The phone hangs up.
Gu Ji lowered his arms, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
In the face of this national crisis in South Korea, no matter what he did, he could not shake the decision of the chaebol and the government.
You know, he is a prosecutor!
If it were ordinary people, they probably wouldn't be able to make even a ripple in the water.
"Now there is only one last resort left..."
Gu Ji slightly squinted his eyes, picked up his phone again, and found the website of the Cheong Wa Dae National Petition Bulletin Board. He simply changed the suggestion he just made to Zheng Yinsheng and forwarded it to Lin Renna, asking her to focus on publicity from now on. .
According to the "Cheong Wa Dae petition" system.
If more than 200,000 people signed the petition within 30 days of launching the petition, the Blue House must respond within 30 days.
This is the only thing he can do before curing MERS and releasing the isolation in the ward.
The next few days.
Sun Jae-seok personally brought people to the hospital to visit him and severely criticized his extreme method of reporting with his real name, because it would affect the reputation of the prosecutor.
Gu Ji ignored it.
Reading the responses to the national petition bulletin board and MERS infection data have become the two most important things for him every day.
That's right, the petition he asked Lin Renna to post quickly exceeded 200,000.
More than 780,000 people are now demanding that the government disclose hospital names and patient trajectories.
The reason why the petition is so popular is that as of today, May 27, in just one week, a total of 343 people infected with MERS have broken out in South Korea, and even Lin Inna has not been spared.
Most of the patients are mainly concentrated in the Seoul area, and a small number are scattered to other cities, including Busan hundreds of kilometers away. Even Xiangzhou, Xiaguo, has imported cases from South Korea.
Many countries around the world have issued "travel health advisories" equivalent to red alerts.
Citizens are urged to avoid traveling to South Korea as much as possible.
[Goal: Control virus-infected areas to less than 7 (inclusive) failed! 】
【Randomly punishing...】
[The degree of your current clinical symptoms is doubled! 】
Although Gu Ji had already expected this outcome, the moment the symptoms worsened, he still did not expect that the reaction in his body would be so violent.
Chills, shortness of breath, headache, muscle aches...
All kinds of DeBuffs swept over him, causing Gu Ji to almost pass out. The blood oxygen monitor in the ward also sounded an alarm, showing that his current blood oxygen saturation was only 89%.
In less than half a minute, the door was pushed open.
AM's expert doctors and nurses rushed in and began to perform various examinations on him.
"Why did the condition suddenly worsen?"
"Immediately push the oxygen therapy machine over and use the mask to provide oxygen..."
In a daze, Gu Ji could only hear the doctors and nurses surrounding his window, shouting fiercely, while he was like a piece of fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
When he woke up again, it was already late at night.
Gu Ji was awakened by the sound of pulleys in the corridor outside the door.
The door was pushed open, and a nurse in protective clothing walked to his bed and found a syringe from the medical cart.
"Nurse, how am I doing now?"
Gu Ji did not know that his voice was extremely hoarse and it was very difficult to say just these few words.
"The blood oxygen keeps rising."
"What are you..."
"I will now give you a microecological regulator to balance your gastrointestinal function." The nurse said as she inserted the needle into the hanging bottle.
Suddenly, Gu Ji's groggy brain came to his senses, "You, why don't you turn on the light, cough cough cough..."
…
…
"Sen Monk! Sen Monk?"
