"It's the end of the year, why don't you celebrate the New Year at home? Why are you getting involved in this matter?" Chen Weimin's voice came from the phone.
"Isn't I inspecting the pharmaceutical factory at the end of the year? A manager who came back from there mentioned this disease, so I asked the seniors of traditional Chinese medicine to pay attention to it. Later, Mr. Sun said that it might be an epidemic, so I paid attention to it. Get up." Yang Dongxu said.
"Really?" Chen Weimin's voice became serious.
Yang Dongxu suddenly called someone and began to train people from the Ministry of Health, specifying that he would go to the south to examine the 'influenza', and use his influence to get the higher authorities to pay attention to the disease, and even turned the disease into a serious infectious disease. .
The first thought of people who knew the news was that they had to take care of whether he was full enough to hold up. Then some people began to think too much, feeling that Yang Dongxu was a drunkard and was planning to use this matter to cause trouble.
Not just other people, but Chen Weimin actually thought so too. After all, he inquired about and read the medical report from the south, so he didn't have anything nice to say about Yang Dongxu.
But if it is really an epidemic, then this matter will be serious.
"As you said, if it's not serious enough, why don't I spend the Chinese New Year at home and only meddle in such nosy matters when I'm full?" Yang Dongxu said with a bitter smile, but he felt a little guilty in his heart.
He was very aware of the seriousness of SARS, but when this epidemic didn't erupt into a frightening demonic side, no one would believe it, right?
So he could only bring Mr. Sun out as a banner. Anyway, Mr. Sun had absolute trust in him and would not cheat. Chen Weimin obviously also knew about Mr. Sun's status and medical skills in the traditional Chinese medicine world. So since Mr. Sun has said so, this matter is obviously not as simple as reported.
"You mean the people below concealed the true situation?" Chen Weimin couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know whether it is concealed or not, but this disease is definitely not as simple as everyone thinks. It was originally just one case, but now there are more than 100, and most of them are medical staff, not to mention this alone The speed of transmission. Do you think the south side is paying enough attention?"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"It's not what I plan to do, but the Ministry of Health should pay more attention to this matter. It's better to treat it as a major epidemic and send an expert team from above to find the cause and guide the prevention and treatment work.
In the face of this epidemic, we cannot pay too much attention to it. After all, if the epidemic is really serious, early prevention and treatment can also control its spread earlier.
Finally, even if the epidemic is not very serious, it is still a problem that some personnel have to cancel their vacations at the end of the year. Many countries will suffer little loss, but once it becomes really serious and they don't pay attention to its spread in the early stages, the losses will be huge. "
Chen Weimin was silent for a moment on the phone.
"I will arrange this matter. You will have professionals over there to send two people over. In the past two days, I will arrange for an expert team to go to the south to let them join in." This is undoubtedly an arrangement that requires responsibility.
Sometimes something is just so weird, a small thing that could cause big trouble. If you pay attention to prevention and control in advance, it will not cause greater harm.
But some people jumped out and said that you were wasting national resources and that you were making a fuss and using chicken feathers as arrows. But if you don't do it and let it develop, it will be a serious threat to others. These people will jump out and say that you are not a vegetarian.
In short, people always like to stand on the side they think is right, and start talking without considering the causes and consequences of the matter. Part of the reason why some epidemics are concealed is because they are afraid of taking responsibility.
"I will ask people to sort out everything about the case and make this matter reasonable and well-founded." Yang Dongxu said.
"It's all trivial, so there's no need to care so much." Now that he has chosen to stand up and take on this responsibility, Chen Weimin will not care about these gossips.
Moreover, he believed in Yang Dongxu and knew about Mr. Sun's medical skills. Since both of them feel that this matter is so serious, he needs to stand up for the sake of the people's well-being.
After hanging up the phone from Chen Weimin, Yang Dongxu called Zhang Tianming from Millennium. Let him stock up on more isatis roots, white vinegar, and table salt.
As someone who has been there, Yang Dongxu knows very well that even after several years of SARS, many rumors have been exposed. You asked if the isatis roots and white vinegar you bought were useful.
Most people would say it is useful. When faced with a life-or-death matter, no one dares to be careless even if there is a one in 10,000 chance. What's more, it's impossible to distinguish between true and false things, such as white vinegar and isatis root, which are useless to refute rumors.
But after using it, no one in the family got sick, so he thinks this thing is useful. What you said is wrong. And for those who still get sick after using it, they may think that they did not use it correctly, or that they infected it because other people did not use it when they went out.
In short, simply refuting rumors about this unclear matter will not be effective at all. Even if they were to do it again, most people would probably buy large amounts of isatis roots and white vinegar.
That is to say, I won’t buy so much table salt because it is easy to prove. From the onset to the end of the disease, except for the brief shortage of salt during the previous panic buying wave.
At other times, the supply of salt in the market is very normal. In addition, some people ate all the salt bought during the SARS epidemic, and it took more than ten years to eat all kinds of pickled things. Such a clear lesson was deeply felt by everyone. But isatis root and white vinegar are unclear.
Zhang Tianming was surprised when he received a call from Yang Dongxu, because the Chinese New Year was just two days away. He knows how to stock up in advance for the end of the year. After all, sales in supermarkets across the country have been rising sharply these days.
But the Chinese New Year is about to come, and there will definitely be a downward curve in purchasing power after the new year. After all, everyone must finish what they bought before choosing to buy it a second time.
Therefore, in his opinion, it is not necessary to stock up on large quantities of white vinegar and salt at this time, not to mention what the hell is isatis root? Isn't that what is sold in pharmacies?
But the big boss spoke, and his tone was very serious, leaving no room for negotiation. Zhang Tianming didn't ask any questions and directly ordered him to start executing. As a person with both IQ and EQ, he knows when to stand up and speak up and when to remain silent. Even if he doesn't understand the reason, he must execute it meticulously.
After hanging up the phone from Zhang Tianming, Yang Dongxu started calling Bao Xiaomei, Ye Rongrong, Chen Xin and others. Yang Dongxu is actually not optimistic about this expert group’s visit.
Because according to most urine properties, the more you notify him of the danger of this thing, the more curious he will be and want to poke it. When I realized that it was really too dangerous and life-threatening, I cried and ran back, but by that time it was already too late.
Therefore, if the expert team in the south can really take it seriously and control the epidemic this time, everyone will be happy. If not under control.
So the main purpose of the expert team this time is to collect relevant proportions and causes of diseases, and to start the research and development of specific drugs early. If we take early action, we can control the epidemic earlier and save the country and people from suffering less losses.
No matter, no matter what the result will be after the expert group goes down. You must do it first instead of waiting. If he can't control other people, he should start with the things he can control.
...
Chen Weimin was very fast. He just finished the call with Yang Dongxu and gave the order. And pay attention to this matter personally.
So we went to the Ministry of Health and began to recruit infectious disease experts to form an expert team. The next day was January 30, 2003, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. After the Ministry of Health sent a notice to Guangdong to dispatch an expert team, not even two hours passed. The expert team got on the connecting plane and stopped in Feicheng for a while before flying directly to Guangdong.
There is no New Year's Eve this year, and the New Year will be celebrated on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. So the next day is New Year's Eve. The Guangdong Provincial Government attached great importance to the visit of the expert team from the Ministry of Health, gave a high-level reception, and ordered the provincial Ministry of Health to cooperate with the expert team in investigation and prevention work.
But some people take it seriously, and some people naturally don't take it seriously. I feel like I'm looking for trouble. Isn't it just a flu? Why did we send people down on New Year’s Eve, but why don’t we let them pass this New Year?
Especially on the second day after the expert team arrived in Guangdong, some bad rumors and comments began to appear on the Internet. Some people say that this epidemic is very exaggerated, and some people say that some people are just fine after eating enough, and some expert teams are dispatched at the end of the year, which makes people nervous.
In the past, for fear of causing panic among the public, relevant information about the epidemic had been controlled and not released. I don’t know who posted it on the Internet, making this kind of discussion more and more divisive.
In addition, everyone is following the trend and does not understand the specific situation and illness at all. Discussions that were already unreliable have become even more confusing.
Yang Dongxu's cell phone has not been heard from since the morning of New Year's Day. In previous years, calls at this time were all for New Year greetings. But this year we are all asking about the situation.
Although Chen Weimin directly stood up and took responsibility for everything, well-informed people knew who was the instigator of this incident. So many friends called me to ask what was going on.
Yang Dongxu had to explain patiently one by one, and some people started to gossip. Some people started jumping up and down as if it was an opportunity, but he ignored them. Instead, he implemented it step by step according to the plan he had thought up before.
But at this time. Because of the panic caused by the introduction on the Internet, rumors spread that isatis root and white vinegar were useful for this epidemic. Everyone began to buy isatis root and white vinegar. At this time, a blame was placed directly on Yang Dongxu's head.
