Crisis Management Game

In one week, 80,000 people were infected.

This sounds like an exaggeration. It is dozens of times or even hundreds of times higher than the sea cruise ship and Korean MERS level that Gu Ji had experienced.

But take a closer look at the new data over the past two days.

Yesterday morning, when Catherine told him about the data released by the WHO, there were only 1,200 people. By the first central government meeting at noon, it had grown to 2,100.

Today, that number has become 4,300.

Totally doubling growth.

At the current rate of spread, the number of infected people will definitely increase exponentially in the future!

“The top priority right now is to first find out the complete genome sequence information of Gantakana virus and then develop a vaccine;

However, Nepal's scientific research resources are limited. At present, expert teams have been set up by Xia Guojiangzhou P4, France's Jean Merion Research Institute, India's Bhopal BSL-4, and South Korea's Osong BL-4 laboratories to proceed simultaneously. "

When the head of the WHO announced this vaccine research plan.

The faces of many officials and experts at the scene were not optimistic.

Because everyone knows that this is simply impossible to accomplish in a short time.

The Ebola virus has been raging in Africa for so many years, and until now, many vaccines are still in the clinical trial stage and have not been actually put into use.

Mainly because the mortality rate of Gantakana virus is too high.

According to the classification of virus hazards, once infected, viruses like this are incurable in most cases and are only allowed to be operated in P4 laboratories, which greatly limits its operation and research.

Commonly used vaccine strategies, such as live attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines, are not applicable to level 4 viruses.

Once the virus virulence of live attenuated vaccines is restored in the human body, the consequences will be disastrous;

To produce an inactivated vaccine, you first need to obtain a large amount of original virus. For level four viruses, cultivating such a large virus itself is an extremely dangerous thing.

Once a leak occurs, it is tantamount to a biological and chemical weapon!

"According to the initial report of the virus outbreak reported by Nigeria, do you suspect that this was a man-made poisoning incident?"

After a long silence, an Indian virus expert took the lead in asking questions.

The Minister of Health of Nepal hummed, glanced at Gu Ji who lowered his head and said nothing, and directly opened the documents on the table. "The current investigation conclusion has not been determined yet. It is just a hypothesis, but the possibility of human factors is relatively small." big."

Then, he produced various evidences.

Most of the content comes from Gu Ji's original investigation and analysis, almost following the script.

"We are also leaning towards Nigeria's hypothesis."

Unexpectedly, the second person who took the initiative to speak turned out to be an expert from Xia State.

"By comparing the gene sequence of the WHO virus-like strain, it is roughly the same as the pathogen gene sequence we extracted from infected person No. 0. It can basically be determined that the two are infected with the same virus.

Although infected person No. 0 has died, through epidemiological investigation, we found that he had never been to Kathmandu before his death and had not been in contact with travelers returning from Nepal in the past 14 days;

Moreover, we discovered the No. 0 infected person two days earlier than Nigeria, but the large-scale outbreak point of the virus was in the capital of Nigeria. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that this may be a case of foreign batches. Poisoned biochemical attack! "

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became noisy.

Everyone is discussing with each other the conjecture of "artificial poisoning".

Even Martel, the old French expert next to Gu Ji, sighed.

"If Gantakana is really developed by man, there may be hope to eliminate this disaster as soon as possible..."

Because the virus is man-made, it means that the entire genetic sequence is clear.

Poisoners may even develop vaccines in order to protect themselves or to make profits.

Thus.

As long as the poisoner is found, the virus crisis can be easily solved.

"What is the current spread situation in Xia Kingdom?"

"Fortunately, we discovered it in time. Currently, there are only 12 infected people and 114 first close contacts. Most of them are front-line personnel in the public security and medical systems, so it is still under control!"

Faced with the question from the Nepalese Minister of Health, Xia Guo’s expert team immediately stiffened in response, as if they had eaten a dead fly.

To know.

The latter's No. 0 infected person appeared earlier than them.

But the number of infections of the two is only in double digits, while the other has exceeded 4,000.

This gap of dozens of times was tantamount to a slap in the face on the spot.

After he said this, the Indian experts were also surprised.

"God, this is simply unbelievable. Although there is a huge difference in medical investment between Ni Fang and Xia Fang, it is impossible to produce such a big difference in results. How did you do it?"

“To be honest, in handling this virus crisis, one of our police officers played a key role. He was the first to determine the condition of infected person No. 0 and insisted on reporting it. This attracted the attention of our Jingzhou Municipal Committee;

In accordance with the highest instructions, the Jingzhou Command, in collaboration with the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, quickly launched a first-level response to major public health emergencies. It is precisely because of the early intervention of disease control that we were able to minimize the spread of the Gantakana virus before it broke out. The scope is contained. "

Unexpectedly, the country actually launched a first-level response!

Gu Ji's eyelids twitched.

He thought that Jingzhou's ability to initiate a Level 2 response was already a high enough priority, but he didn't expect the municipal party committee leaders to be so decisive.

In the emergency response system of Xiaguo.

Level 1 is a particularly serious crisis level, the highest response state, and is extremely strict to implement and cannot be easily activated.

However, as the Xiaguo expert said.

If the official attitude was not so serious and resolute, the number of infected people would probably not be controlled so well.

You know.

Jingzhou City is a megacity with a population of over 21 million.

In terms of population size alone, it is already 5 times that of Kathmandu!

Another important reason for proper infection control is naturally the "whistleblower".

"Who is the policeman mentioned by the expert? The middle-aged traffic policeman who took away the driver who caused the accident, or a comrade from the anti-drug team, or..."

Muttering to the end, Gu Ji no longer dared to think about it.

But the name was already on his lips.

It was Li Yanan.

Because in his cognition, only Li Yanan, who had received special training, would react so quickly and report the situation as soon as he noticed the abnormality.

With CTOC backing them up.

It was easy to get the news to the leaders of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

However, looking at the death toll reported by Xia Guo, the blood-red "3".

Gu Ji still felt a little panicked.

Infected person No. 0 has died, so according to the 4-day outbreak rhythm of the severe period, the most likely to get into trouble are him, Li Yanan, and the traffic police who came to handle the case.

Especially Li Yanan, she had a close physical fight with infected person No. 0.

With Gantakana's ability to spread.

She is very likely to...

"Xima, my teacher wants to go to the origin of the virus, that is, the mental hospital. Didn't you just go there yesterday? Can you help us lead the way?"

Just as Gu Ji was thinking, Catherine suddenly interrupted him.

He nodded and temporarily retracted his thoughts.

Anyway, now he has successfully mixed into Gantakana's strategic command center, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to ask the domestic medical expert team for the list of infected people and deaths.

The next meeting content became the discussion of treatment plans among countries.

Because Nepal has now adopted a corresponding lockdown policy, at least in terms of transmission, the spread of the virus has been curbed. The next step is how to treat existing patients and reduce the mortality rate.

This is actually very important.

Why do viruses such as Ebola and AIDS always make people feel scared, but colds and fevers are never taken seriously.

Isn't it because the mortality rate of the former is too high and cannot be cured with the current medical level.

As long as a good treatment plan can be found.

If the mortality rate of the infected people in Gantarkana is reduced, the panic of the people will also decrease rapidly, and at the same time, time can be bought for the development of vaccines.

In response to this point.

Expert groups from various countries have put forward different proposals, which is also the most heated debate in this meeting.

Nepal has the largest number of patients and the richest clinical experience.

However, due to the poor medical resources, the hospital has only used antibiotics to treat the current critically ill patients, but with little effect.

And Xiaguo also has clinical treatment experience.

In view of the fact that the Ganta Kana virus is similar to the neurotropic virus, they advocate symptomatic treatment and operate from three aspects: cardiovascular, nervous system, and respiratory system.

The second one is the most important.

By using sedatives, the virus can be inhibited from interfering with the brain's emotions, and dehydrating agents such as mannitol and furosemide can be used to eliminate brain edema lesions. If it is ineffective, lateral ventricular drainage can be given.

Although it still cannot solve the severe disease, it at least greatly delays the survival time of severe patients.

This is also the reason why there are only three deaths in Xiaguo at present.

But because the time is too short now, and the number of clinical patients is too small, whether this treatment plan is effective and how much it will improve is still unknown.

Indian experts advocate confrontational treatment.

That is, using drugs such as remdesivir and favipiravir, or drugs such as ZMapp and RNA polymerase inhibitors, directly act on the central nervous system and kill the virus.

At the same time, according to the severity of the disease, anti-shock treatment, anti-DIC treatment and anti-multiple organ failure treatment can also be adopted.

Of course, this is just "paper talk".

The two sides quarreled with each other and made a mess.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, suddenly, the door of the conference room was opened from the outside, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone subconsciously looked out.

I saw a group of yellow-skinned faces in suits and leather shoes walking into the venue in an orderly manner.

It was the missing Korean expert team.

"Sorry, the originally planned flight was delayed due to weather reasons!"

"It's okay, just sit down. It just so happens that we are in a deadlock in the treatment plan, and all parties have not been able to reach a complete conclusion."

The Nepalese person in charge hurried forward to arrange for the Korean experts to sit down.

Gu Ji glanced at them roughly.

He didn't find Jin Zhijiu among them, but he was a little disappointed.

If this guy was also present, then he would have three free helpers in this Nepal checkpoint, which is much more reliable than Raja, Singh and the like.

Just when he was about to give up.

Suddenly, a woman with a bun in her head caught his attention.

Gu Ji looked at it carefully and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It turned out to be Jiang Youzhen!

"Why is she here?"

Kang Yoo Jin had just survived the drug war in Mexico and returned to South Korea. Why did he come to Nepal to cross paths again? Could it be that this woman has a "Conan" physique and something will happen to her wherever she goes?

Now in Gu Ji's eyes.

Nepal is no better than Mexico.

Even more dangerous.

On the surface, there is the Gantakana virus.

And secretly, there are gangs, armed organizations, extremist terrorist forces, poisoners, etc.

The biggest threat here.

Naturally, it is the Indian branch of Keida.

You know, they have nuclear contamination bombs in their hands.

If this thing explodes in Kathmandu and the Gantakana virus is added to it, I don’t even know how many people will die in Nepal. Otherwise, it will be recorded in human history! !

Not to mention how many invisible hands are hidden under this table.

What about Mossad, Bureau of Investigation and Analysis of India, etc.

It’s a complete mess!

After much thought, there was only one possibility:

It was Jiang Youzhen who was assassinated by PM mercenaries hired by her brother in Mexico. This woman wanted revenge, so she made up her mind to seize power in the AM Group.

This medical support to Nepal is a good opportunity.

After all, Jiang Youzhen had experienced the MERS disaster in South Korea with him. In addition, she came from the AM medical system, and she was considered a semi-expert in the field of public health.

Gu Ji did indeed see a few slightly familiar figures among the team of experts and scholars in Korea.

It seems that they are the doctors who came into contact with him in the MERS level 10 years ago.

"Teacher, which plan do you think is better?"

After arguing for a long time, Catherine couldn't help but secretly asked Martell.

He shook his head, "It's hard to say now. If I were the WHO, I should let the three sets of plans be carried out at the same time. There are enough patients in Kathmandu, and a week is enough to see which treatment is more effective.

But relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about Xia Guo's plan. After all, they have already seen certain clinical results! "

"Teacher, do you have any good plans?"

The student next to him couldn't help but ask.

Martell groaned, but there was nothing more to say.

The reason why Martell didn't say much during the entire meeting.

This is because he is not coming to Nepal to provide medical support on behalf of the French government, but as a private research institute.

Just like the reason Catherine gave originally.

As a famous French virus expert, Martel is only very interested in the Gantakana virus.

but.

This, however, plays right into Gu Gu's mind!
