Qingcheng. Affiliated Hospital!
The First Affiliated Hospital of Saibei Provincial Medical College is the hospital with the highest medical level in the province. When hemorrhagic fever is raging, it has naturally become the first line of Qingcheng's response to hemorrhagic fever.
After the medical team from Beijing arrived in Saibei, they were all arranged here to take charge of critically ill patients.
At the end of the day's work, according to Liu Jimin's request, the leadership and attending doctors of all five large hospitals in Qingcheng went to the large conference room of the affiliated hospital for a meeting.
In addition to reporting on the situation in their respective hospitals, they also need to conduct centralized analysis of some special cases.
Halfway through the meeting, Dean Zheng Weiguo of the Provincial Medical College was called out and told that a document had come from the province and he needed to sign for it personally.
Zheng Weiguo came back less than ten minutes after leaving, with an extra document in his hand.
Afterwards, he read out the briefing issued by the provincial government to everyone in the conference room, including Liu Jimin and Wang Yuanhua.
It has been a week since the infectious disease hemorrhagic fever was discovered.
So far, a total of 5,868 mild and severe cases have been detected in Qingcheng, which is a very high proportion for a city with a population of just over one million.
Fortunately, with the treatment of new therapies, especially after the arrival of these expert teams in Beijing, the hemorrhagic fever was quickly controlled.
At present, 4,876 patients with mild symptoms have been successfully discharged from hospital, and another 902 patients with severe symptoms have also been converted to mild patients and are expected to be discharged within a week.
Most of the 157 critically ill patients are out of danger and their conditions continue to improve.
But 69 people still died because they missed the best treatment time and the treatment was ineffective!
"This is roughly the situation. At present, the situation in Qingcheng has basically stabilized!" Zheng Weiguo said.
After listening to Zheng Weiguo's report, Liu Jimin, Wang Yuanhua and others had mixed feelings, feeling both relieved and a little heartbroken.
This time there was an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever in Saibei Province, and the severity of the situation far exceeded their expectations.
Hemorrhagic fevers have occurred in various places before, but the maximum number of cases was only one or two thousand people, and in most cases it was only three or two hundred.
However, this time, nearly 6,000 cases were detected in Qingcheng alone.
According to statistics from the Saibei Provincial Government, the total number of cases in all league cities in the province exceeds 10,000.
Judging from the previous case fatality rate of 10%, at least 1,000 to 1,400 people will die this time.
However, judging from the current death statistics, Qingcheng 69, Echeng 58, Lucheng 70...the total number reached 218, and the mortality rate was almost 2%.
Moreover, after the province-wide rodent eradication campaign, the number of new cases has been significantly reduced, and the hemorrhagic fever has basically been controlled.
So after these few days, I still have some achievements.
Of course, it's just control, far from elimination.
But the deaths of more than two hundred people still made them feel heartbroken. This was more than two hundred lives!
Most of them were still young adults, and it was such a pity that they lost their lives due to this terrible disease!
"Old Zheng, are there any new instructions from the province?" Liu Jimin asked.
Zheng Weiguo immediately said: "The province requires us to continue to treat all hospitalized patients, especially those in critical condition, and save their lives at all costs!"
"At the same time, given that the situation in Echeng and Lucheng has not yet been brought under control and the mortality rate of patients remains high, the province requires that capable forces be mobilized from Qingcheng to immediately go to these two places for support!"
Liu Jimin nodded and said, "Let's do this. I will personally take people to Lucheng, Lao Wang will go to Echeng, and Lao Zheng will stay in Qingcheng!"
However, Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "I have no objection to Lao Wang going to Echeng, but I'd better go to Lucheng. After all, I understand the situation there!"
"Old Liu, you stay in Qingcheng. On the one hand, you are needed here to be in charge, and on the other hand, you are also needed to contact the capital and the provincial government. I can't do this!"
Liu Jimin thought for a while and said, "That's okay..."
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white coat suddenly opened the door of the conference room and hurried in.
With everyone's stunned eyes, he strode up to Liu Jimin and said a few words in his ear with an excited expression.
Just after saying a few words, Liu Jimin stood up suddenly, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Is this true?"
"It's true. It's Professor Duan who called me personally. I've confirmed it again and again!"
"Hahaha, good, good!"
Seeing Liu Jimin's excited expression, Zheng Weiguo, Wang Yuanhua and others all looked curious.
They all know Liu Jimin's character. He has always been calm. What happened today? He was suddenly so excited.
"Old Liu, why are you so excited? Please take it easy. Don't forget that your blood pressure is not good!" Wang Yuanhua said.
"Hahaha, good thing, great thing, that guy Duan Yinzhong really isolated the hemorrhagic fever virus strain!" Liu Jimin said loudly.
"This is real?"
Wang Yuanhua also stood up and looked at Liu Jimin with excitement.
"it is true!"
Hearing this, dozens of experts and professors in the entire conference room were boiling.
Everyone stood up and surrounded Liu Jimin and others excitedly.
No wonder these people are so excited. Isolating the virus strain is of extremely important significance for conquering hemorrhagic fever.
As long as they inoculate the appropriate cells with specimen materials containing the virus, they can find out through laboratory research how the virus invades human cells and organs.
You can also observe how the virus reproduces in the human body, what damage the virus will cause to cells and organs, which infected parts will produce virus particles, and the pathology of the virus particles making people sick.
Including how the virus is excreted from the body and then infects other people, how to avoid the spread of the virus, which drugs can effectively prevent the spread of the virus, and which drugs can effectively inhibit the reproduction of the virus and kill the virus.
Understanding and studying these physiological processes can help medical experts research and produce effective drugs and vaccines, which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of viruses.
In other words, isolating the virus strain means that we already have the seed strain of the vaccine, and we are not far away from completely conquering the hemorrhagic fever.
More importantly, major countries around the world are currently studying hemorrhagic fever, including several major Western countries.
But decades have passed, and no country has made a substantial breakthrough, and hemorrhagic fever is still raging around the world.
If the virus strain is really isolated in Yunshan County, it will not only be good news for the country, but also great news for countries around the world that are troubled by hemorrhagic fever.
It also helps to present our country’s image to the world, and its political significance cannot be ignored.
Therefore, after the excitement, Liu Jimin motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Then he immediately said to Zheng Weiguo: "Old Zheng, you and Lao Wang will go to Lucheng and Echeng for support as originally planned. I will immediately report the situation to the capital and ask people from the Institute of Epidemiology to go to Yunshan County immediately. , Confirm the results!”
"If we get approval from there, we will make full preparations for vaccine research!"
"OK!"
After arranging these things, Liu Jimin hurried back to the temporary office and made a mysterious phone call.
Soon, a secret unit located near Xiaotangshan in the capital received instructions from above and immediately mobilized its most capable forces to follow the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Health to Yunshan County, Saibei Province.
At this time, Zhou Yang, who was still in the joy of finding Lin'er, didn't know that a storm centered on him was about to unfold!
