Chapter 266 Super Patient
The reason why Gu Ji let several people go.
On the one hand, he didn't take these Mountain Dog Gang gangsters seriously at all, and all his tasks were focused on solving this sudden public health crisis;
On the other hand, it's because although the Mountain Dog Gang is mean, they haven't killed him yet.
That's right.
Although the ward was dark last week before his death, he could vaguely see the fake nurse's features, especially her voice.
Don't forget, Gu Ji has always had hearing marks.
The man's voice was bright and full of energy, and he didn't sound like anyone from the Mountain Dog Gang.
Finished the work in the outpatient department.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Ji met Jiang Youzhen on time and prepared to go to the restaurant to prepare for tonight's banquet.
Because all the big shots were present, Jiang Youzhen also dressed up carefully, wearing a white deep V-neck bottom shirt and a black short-sleeved suit. Her short, slightly curly hair naturally fell on her shoulders, making her look elegant and elegant. business.
"Our key target tonight is this person."
In the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz S450, Jiang Youzhen took out a piece of paper from the folder and handed it to Gu Ji, who was sitting next to him.
"Chief of the Blue House Secretary's Office?"
Gu Ji did not expect that the person coming from the Blue House would be the secretary general.
South Korea's Cheong Wa Dae Secretariat is a confidential department that specializes in handling matters related to presidential secrets and protocol arrangements. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the assistant to the president, responsible for making suggestions and communicating on many occasions when it is inconvenient for the president to attend.
Just like Jiang Youzhen said.
If we can really get the consent of the Secretary-General, then it will be easy to obtain the presidential decree!
Arrive at the hotel door.
The private room of the restaurant is located on the 66th floor of an office building and hotel. It could originally have a direct bird's-eye view of the bustling city of Seoul at night. But now, the flow of people on public transportation and bustling streets has significantly reduced. Some people are even wearing masks. Even the driver just now It was said that traveling through the center of Seoul during the evening rush hour was smooth all the way, saving nearly half the time compared to usual.
At meal time, the executives on the list finally arrived one after another.
Among them is an "old acquaintance" of Gu Ji, who has gray hair combed back. He is Zheng Yinsheng, the director of the crisis response analysis room of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week. Another member of Congress looks the youngest, with Sanqi comb. He turned his head away and narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat treacherous.
The real owner is a middle-aged man with a somewhat bald forehead and a pair of thin-framed glasses.
Chief Secretary of the Blue House: Lee Hyun-jung.
"I have a short meeting in the evening. I don't have much time, so let's get started." Li Xuanzhen is worthy of being the presidential secretary. She does things neatly and goes straight to the topic.
Jiang Youzhen looked over secretly.
Gu Ji understood this and asked him to be the keynote speaker, so he distributed all the documents prepared by the MERS investigation team to several people one by one to explain the seriousness of South Korea's current public health security.
"You want to disclose the list of infected hospitals and patient movement trajectories? This is too difficult."
Unexpectedly, not long after watching, Zheng Yinsheng from the crisis response analysis room opened his mouth to refute.
"You also know that once the news spreads, no one will dare to come to see a doctor, and it will also cause excessive uneasiness and misunderstanding among the people. For the hospital, this will also mean huge economic losses. If they don't If you treat patients well, it is the ordinary people who will suffer in the end.”
"Congressman Zhang, the central district of Seoul that is currently the most serious is your constituency. What do you think?"
Li Xuanzhen was not in a hurry to express his position, but instead asked the young Congressman Zhang.
Councilor Zhang smiled awkwardly.
"Director Lee, I think that setting up MERS checkpoints in public transportation such as subways, stations, and airports would have too much impact on people's lives. Originally, people in Seoul are panicking because of the MERS incident. Once the public transportation is controlled, the streets will be affected. If there is no one on the street, the economy will not be able to function. We cannot lose watermelon for a few sesame seeds, what do you think?"
"MERS is not as simple as a few sesame seeds."
Before Li Xuanzhen could respond, Gu Ji spoke first, "Principles for responding to and dealing with individual illness and social public health incidents are very different. Public health incidents must not wait until the disease spreads on a large scale. "Remedial measures should focus on prevention and control beforehand, so as to minimize the social losses caused."
"What's more, the medical system in Seoul is now gradually unable to afford the diagnosis of MERS patients and the medical observation and isolation of close contacts. If the government continues to indulge in this, the infection will spread to the whole country sooner or later, and it will not affect only one or two places. The economy is so simple, but the national GDP will be affected."
His words were not meant to scare people.
According to statistics from the World Health Organization, the 2015 MERS incident caused South Korea's GDP to drop 0.2-0.3% lower than expected. It exposed South Korea's shortcomings in responding to the epidemic and became a "nightmare" that has affected South Korean society to this day.
Li Xuanzhen took a closer look at the data.
As a secretary, he has been organizing documents and information for the president for a long time. He also noticed something was wrong. Although the number of patients has not increased much in recent days, the increase in close contacts can be described as "terrifying". On June 1, There were still only over 600 people under medical isolation, but by June 3, the number had increased to over 1,300.
If we continue at this pace, within a few days we will have over 10,000 close contacts.
By then, Seoul's medical system will surely collapse.
"Do you have any other ideas? Tell me?"
"The government's slow control has caused the Seoul area to lose the best opportunity to cut off the spread of the virus in the early stages. According to the current data model, I think it won't be long before South Korea will surpass Europe and become the largest MERS country after Saudi Arabia. In infected countries, national disasters such as the Sewol shipwreck will happen again."
"Yeah! Boy, be careful what you say in front of Director Li!"
Councilor Zhang suddenly slammed the table.
Even Zheng Yinsheng turned his head to the side and let out a "hum". After all, Gu Ji's words were tantamount to slapping the two of them in the face and accusing them of poor management.
"Director Li, Prosecutor Jin has been busy lately and has made a mistake when he makes a mistake. Please don't be offended."
Jiang Youzhen pursed his lips and smiled, then he came out to smooth things over with tea instead of wine.
"It's okay." Li Xuanzhen put down the document and looked at Gu Ji seriously.
"Since you want to disclose information and implement emergency control, how can you ensure that people do not complain when they are quarantined and queue up for PCR tests? How can you ensure that hospitals will not conceal patient information because of profit. The most important point is that once it is made public, This information will definitely cause panic and cause a rush for food, especially medical protective items."
"It's very simple, provide financial assistance."
Gu Ji recommended that Cheong Wa Dae could introduce some regulations.
For MERS-infected patients and close contacts who are quarantined, subsidies can be issued on the premise that their income is seriously affected; and patients who actively line up for PCR testing can be issued masks with special slogans.
Then find one or two traffic celebrities wearing masks to take a few photos and post them on Little Blue Bird and INS, and a "head sheep effect" will naturally form.
Most people, especially young people, will definitely follow suit and queue up.
Hiding problems is easier to solve, and there are rewards and punishments.
Establish a strict reporting system.
If medical staff fail to report in time, or suspected close contacts refuse to undergo examination or isolation, fines or even criminal liability may be imposed.
"The final medical supplies are simpler. AM Medical has rushed to complete a factory a week ago to specialize in the production of masks, protective clothing and other medical protective products."
"What!?"
Councilor Zhang looked shocked.
As an economist, he knows very well that once Cheong Wa Dae decides to implement emergency response controls, medical supplies will be plundered to such an extent that AM Medical will make a lot of money.
Li Xuanzhen also seemed to find it a little unbelievable.
"This is real?"
"It's true, Director Li. Our AM Medical acquired and reorganized a non-woven factory in the suburbs of Seoul. Currently, three production lines are running at full speed, which can guarantee a production capacity of nearly 420,000 pieces per day."
When Jiang Youzhen said these words, he couldn't help but his heart beat faster.
She had agreed to "Jin Zhijiu's" suggestion under pressure, but she felt that his ability was indeed outstanding, and since he was also a prosecutor, they could deal with Shan Sang together, so it would be a good idea to cooperate.
Unexpectedly, the bet was really right now.
The key is.
A week ago, there was no official outbreak of the MERS virus.
How did "Jin Zhijiu" predict the current results in advance and spend a lot of money to buy a factory in advance? Is it possible that he will still be a prophet?
"Prosecutor Kim is young and promising. It would be a waste of your talents to stay in the center of Seoul to examine cases."
Li Xuanzhen said with a half-smile, and then stood up, "I will report the contents of the meeting to Mr. President tonight, and everyone will wait for my news."
"Chief Li, walk slowly."
"Since Prosecutor Jin said the situation is serious, I have to go back quickly to formulate corresponding countermeasures. I will leave first."
Zheng Yinsheng's tone of voice was obviously unhappy.
In the end, only Councilor Zhang was left in the private room.
He squinted his eyes, a trace of greed flashed across his pupils, but since Gu Ji was at the scene, he had to pretend to cough.
Jiang Youzhen joined the group after graduation. Naturally, he saw Councilor Zhang's little thoughts, so he went to see him off alone.
After a while, he returned to the box.
Gu Ji drank all the water in the tea cup.
"That congressman doesn't want a piece of the pie, does he?"
"Member Zhang's constituency is in Jungang-gu, Seoul. He has always favored Sansang in the past. It is actually an opportunity for him to favor us this time."
Jiang Youzhen seemed to have said nothing, but in fact he said everything.
It's really ridiculous when you think about it.
A member of Congress dared to openly ask for bribes in front of the prosecutor, and he still wanted to enrich the country in such a serious crisis.
If Gu Ji hadn't found the AM Medical conglomerate in advance this time, he wouldn't have found it.
I'm afraid it will still be like last week, nothing will be affected.
As the head of the Blue House Secretariat, Lee Hyun-jung moves very quickly.
On the night after the meeting, Cheong Wa Dae ordered the Korean health authorities to announce a thorough personnel investigation into the two hospitals with the most MERS infections.
We are talking about Pyeongtaek Mary Hospital and Seoul Sansang Hospital.
Unfortunately, the list of hospitals has not yet been announced to the public.
As of June 6, the MERS investigation team counted 22 new confirmed cases. The spread of the virus was far faster than expected. Public opinion in South Korea was abuzz. Not only did a large number of people petition, some people even openly held banners in front of government buildings. .
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Cheong Wa Dae had no choice but to publish a list of 24 hospitals on June 7.
[Goal: Control virus-infected areas to less than 7 (inclusive) completed! 】
【Please choose your reward! 】
[Infectious Disease Data Monitoring] or [Fighting Specialization (Large)]
Danger after danger.
Finally, the game mission was completed the moment the list was revealed.
Yellow [Infectious Disease Data Monitoring]: Through big data information flow, the real-time real information data of the global MERS infection event in 2015 is simulated, and the infection flow is marked;
Yellow [Fighting Specialization (Large)]: Improves fighting level by 43%, shortens the time to find defensive flaws by 41%, increases perfect attack probability by 36%, and shortens fighting reaction time by 27%.
The second option has almost nothing to do with the level.
Gu Ji didn't know how the system was refreshed. With his current combat ability, as long as he was not infected with MERS and had no negative buffs on his body, he would be enough to deal with gangsters like the Mountain Dog Gang, including professional killers.
After all, he still has [Poison Needle Trap] mines and drone missile support cards in his hand, which are useless.
Yellow light falls.
Above Gu Ji's field of vision, there was a translucent gray status bar.
From left to right, they are [Infection Rate], [Case Fatality Rate], [Popular Rebellion], and after clicking the triangle at the end of the status bar, a world map actually appears.
There are three countries with red biochemical symbols on it: Slovakia, Xia Kingdom, and South Korea. Among them, Seoul and Gyeonggi Province in South Korea have the most red dots.
Good guy, it's really almost the same as "Virus Inc."
With this thing, he can keep track of the infection trends at all times. It is almost equivalent to carrying a MERS investigation team with him. No, it is even more powerful than them.
In this way, he can use the data to clearly deal with key infection areas.
[You have completed two target missions and obtained Private’s Telescopic Vision*1! 】
[The ultimate goal: completely prevent the public health emergency in South Korea and control the number of confirmed deaths below 36! 】
[Side goal: Find all super patients! 】
Gu Ji had already guessed the ultimate mission.
It was just the side goal of this level that he couldn't understand.
Based on previous clearance experience, the side missions were all connected to the final hidden mission. He originally thought that the name of this level was "Battle Under the Wall", which would allow him to investigate the South Korean government officials and chaebols in handling the MERS incident. Inaction, corruption and other issues.
Unexpectedly, it was just to check on the patient.
The so-called "super patient", according to different countries' treatment and understanding of the disease, the detailed data are also different. The World Health Organization proposes that a patient who infects more than ten people with the virus is a "super patient", also called a "super patient". Super spreader.
Based on its national conditions and MERS infection rate, the Korean CDC defines it as:
A MERS-infected person is a "super patient" if he or she has transmitted the virus to at least four other patients.
You must know that the diagnosis and treatment of MERS in the Middle East shows that each MERS patient infects 0.7 people twice. However, among the "super patients" in South Korea, the least one infected 4 people, and the most infected 85 people! !
without any exaggeration.
In the MERS incident in South Korea in 2015, about 83% of the patients were infected by these five "super patients"!
QAQ, don’t run around recently. Tutu regrets it so much. Today, the two sheep are in luck. It makes me very uncomfortable. My whole body hurts and my throat feels uncomfortable. Everyone must pay attention to safety...
