C78 Meeting

He didn't know if it was due to psychological effects, but when he went to bed at night, Chen Qiang felt dizzy and his head felt swollen. He felt weak all over, as if he had a high fever. He thought to himself, "This disease is really quick."

At this time, his wife brought up the medicinal herbs that he had just fried. Seeing his pale face, he sat on the bed sweating profusely, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll be fine after I drink the medicine. Hurry up and leave, don't get infected." Chen Qiang pushed himself up and waved his hand.

He picked up the herbal medicine. Suddenly, a strong medicinal smell rushed into his nose. He had just taken a sip when he stopped.

"So f * cking bitter."

In order to not go to the hospital, Chen Qiang could only pinch his nose and gulp down a bowl of extremely bitter and bitter Chinese medicine.

As the saying goes, bitter wine hurts the heart. With such a big bowl of Chinese medicine drying up, Chen Qiang felt as if his intestines were cramping.

As soon as he finished drinking, he felt sleepy, his eyelids drooping as he fell asleep.

The next day.

Chen Qiang opened his eyes and felt refreshed. His four limbs were strong and his head was no longer in pain. It seemed that his condition last night had completely recovered.

This illness came and went quickly, like a gust of wind.

What surprised him the most was that his wife was already prepared to go to the hospital. However, she seemed to be completely fine early in the morning.

"I've already told you, how can this little cold be a problem?" Facing his wife's gaze, Chen Qiang patted his chest and said.

"Where did you go to prescribe medicine yesterday?" His wife suddenly asked. Her neighbors and those who worked with her, as long as they were hospitalized with the flu, the lethality of this virus would almost match that of the discolored bird flu of the previous years, not to mention the news reports that it was a new type of influenza virus that covered it with a mysterious and frightening veil.

"It's the Yunqi Street outside. A young doctor gave it to me."

His wife nodded and walked out.

"What are you doing?" Chen Qiang was taken aback.

"I'll talk to the next room."

A few minutes later, a haggard looking woman in the next room finished listening. A hint of hope appeared in her dull eyes. "Is what you said true?"

"We're neighbors, how could I lie to you? But I can't guarantee it, anyway, my husband ate his medicine well."

"The child is saved! The child is saved!" The haggard woman muttered to herself repeatedly, remembered the Yunqi Street in her heart, and could not wait to rush there.

At the same time, there were over ten different places where similar things were happening.

"What did you say, you have the flu?"

"And then he was cured by a set of Chinese medicine?"

"Where's the clinic? My wife is still lying in the hospital!"

It was early in the morning and many people were heading towards the Yunqi Street at the same time. However, when they arrived at the place, they discovered that the door to the clinic was tightly shut.

Where was he?

"..."

Pow!

Public Health Bureau, conference room.

The current Director of Public Health Bureau, Zhu Xueyi, put down the document and said to the people present:

"Everyone knows what we are facing. If we allow the flu to continue, it could lead to irreversible consequences."

Zhu Xueyi's expression was extremely gloomy. He, who was on vacation this morning, had received an order from the provincial health office, telling him to do everything he could to solve this problem.

Sweat trickled down his forehead when he thought about the severity of the current situation. It was too fast, the speed of spreading the flu was too fast. In just three days, there were almost 8,000 people infected.

According to the latest testing report, this is a completely new influenza virus, and all previous vaccines and drugs have been unable to create targeted treatments.

This wasn't just a minor incident. According to the statistics provided by the major hospitals, patients with influenza already had a distinct high fever, body pain, weakness, and other symptoms. Especially infants under the age of three, once they became infected, their fatal rate would be no less than 20%.

Zhu Xueyi did not dare to think further. If he did not handle this matter well, he would not be able to keep the black cloth hat on his head.

"Everyone here is an expert in the field of internal medicine, as well as a highly skilled student from the affiliated hospital. I wonder what opinions you have regarding the flu this time around, or how you would like to resolve it? Any proposal can be released at any time!"

Zhu Xueyi sent him a hopeful gaze, but there was a moment of silence below. After a while, an older expert suggested:

"The situation this time is very special, I suggest that we set up a research team and develop a vaccine for the new virus as soon as possible, that is the root of the problem."

Zhu Xueyi's face darkened. Early yesterday, Public Health Bureau's epidemic prevention team had already invested all of their resources into developing this project. Inside, there were all high level biologists and internal medicine experts, but there were no breakthroughs for a while.

The result of the bacterial culture had yet to be out. According to the estimate, it would take at least another week before a specific vaccine could be developed based on the virus.

What Zhu Xueyi was experiencing the most right now was a headache how to place almost all of the patients in the hospital. There were even some patients with special conditions who were in danger, their families were causing a ruckus in the hospital, and that was the most unresolvable contradiction.

"Any other experts?" Zhu Xueyi asked with a darkened face.

There was another moment of silence. These experts were usually very arrogant, but now they were all silent.

Zhu Xueyi felt that he had really been unlucky for eight lifetimes and was transferred here to do this difficult task.

Success was one thing, but success was another. If he was unable to come up with a solution, he would be in trouble.

"Before the vaccine came out, we didn't have any good methods. The effects of the previous drugs weren't very effective." A middle-aged doctor with glasses said.

"Yeah, I think it's better to wait." The experts below all echoed his sentiments.

Just then, Zhu Xueyi's phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, Provincial Government Director Chang, you tell me … Good, good … "I understand." Zhu Xueyi held the phone, and nodded his head.

After hanging up the phone, his expression turned serious, "Provincial Government Director Chang has already given the order, there are six infants in the Central Hospital who are in dire straits right now. This time, they are in danger, and everyone has the expectations of their children and the people on their shoulders, I will not speak anymore nonsense, immediately establish an expert group and think of all means possible to save the six children's lives!"

The meeting room fell silent again.

Six children were a total of six lives. If he could save these children, then he would be able to reward them handsomely.

However, if the treatment was ineffective and he failed to save these children, wouldn't he be the one to blame?

In recent days, how many people have died as a result of the deterioration of their condition?

Apart from his outstanding medical skills, everyone here was no fool either. They all knew that this was a hot potato, and that it wasn't easy to obtain.
