Crisis Management Game

"Huh..."

Gu Ji suddenly opened his eyes and heard someone calling him in his ear.

When he looked up, there was a nurse in a light pink uniform standing in front of him. It was Xizhen, the female nurse at the triage desk who was responsible for guiding them to the respiratory department.

I'm dead!

He subconsciously glanced at the upper right corner and saw that the red hearts had turned into two.

"Ah Yigu..."

At this moment, there was sudden movement behind him.

Before the other party could finish speaking, Gu Ji hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, dodged, and rushed forward to avoid the scratch behind him, and at the same time successfully distanced himself from the white-haired uncle.

"Axiba!"

The white-haired uncle jumped away, turned around, pointed at Gu Ji and cursed.

[The items, equipment and privileges you are carrying have been delivered...]

【The crisis begins! 】

[Please choose your initial reward! 】

[Language Specialization (Major)] or [Anthrax Antibody (Special)]

There is no doubt that Gu Ji will definitely choose the first one.

But he finally understood why this special mark of history appeared in the game level.

Putting aside the Wushan base factor.

The cause of death at the last level was the male nurse who appeared in the middle of the night and injected him with a high concentration of anthrax!

Gu Ji did not die directly on the spot.

Rather, he died after being repeatedly tortured by illness and comatose.

Those who do it speak for themselves.

Only Shan Sang has the motive to get rid of him.

"It seems that the Korean government cannot be obedient if you honestly suggest it, so don't blame me for breaking the rules!"

After experiencing the powerlessness of last week, Gu Ji finally saw the true nature of the Korean government and chaebols.

Then he can no longer follow the path of cruise ships and floods.

"The Seoul Central District Inspectorate immediately asked all medical staff to take protective measures and closed the emergency room."

Gu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with the white-haired uncle and his family, so he just showed his ID.

Xizhen had never seen such a scene before. He immediately ran back to the triage table in a hurry, picked up the phone and informed his superiors.

Gu Ji also began to contact the CDC, "I am Kim Ji-joo from the Public Security Bureau. The investigation case involves the leakage of weapons-grade anthrax. Currently, a highly suspicious patient is found at Sansang Hospital in Seoul. I request the CDC to immediately send people to seal off the hospital and carry out disinfection."

"I, I will ask my superiors immediately!"

On the phone, the CDC operator heard the words "Public Security Division" and his tone suddenly changed in fright.

Next, Gu Ji used the same method to call the Seoul Central Police Station.

That's right.

Since Shan Sang can use the "anthrax attack" to fabricate facts and incite public opinion, why can't he use this reason to mobilize the medical system and violent institutions?

Anyway, it is a fact that the US military is secretly researching weapons-grade anthrax in South Korea.

At this time, Li Minfu, who was wearing a white coat and had a bald head, followed the nurse and hurried to Gu Ji's side and reached out his hand.

"Hello Prosecutor Kim, I am Lee Min-bok, the deputy director on duty. Closing the emergency room is not a trivial matter. Is there something particularly serious that happened?"

"I suspect there was a terrorist attack and someone was using weapons-grade anthrax powder!"

"What!? Come on, come on, mask!"

Lee Min-bok's face instantly turned pale when he heard this, and he immediately snatched the mask from the nurse's hand, "Get one for Prosecutor Kim, and notify the broadcast room and security personnel to close the emergency room immediately."

Seeing the other person's greed for life and fear of death, Gu Ji was almost amused.

There are two main reasons for these two completely different results:

1. Anthrax is a bacillus with a short incubation period and relatively low infectivity, making it easier to control than viruses;

Unlike respiratory infectious diseases such as MERS and SARS, the infection rate is high and there is a risk of mutation. Close contacts need to be checked and the hospital closed for a long time;

2. People are afraid of death;

Anthrax + terrorist attacks make people more likely to think of biological and chemical weapons. Compared with the loss of income caused by closing the emergency room, Lee Min-bok naturally values ​​his own life more.

"Dear medical staff and patients in the emergency room, please note that due to an emergency, we have decided to temporarily close the emergency room and suspend all personnel access. Please do not panic, rest where you are, and cooperate with the hospital's arrangements..."

It is estimated that Lee Minbok's order has been conveyed.

The loudspeakers on the roof of the entire emergency room building suddenly sounded an emergency announcement.

Patients who had never been exposed to similar incidents were instantly panicked.

"What's going on?"

"I haven't been diagnosed with this disease yet. Why did it suddenly shut down?"

"Hey, my forehead is still bleeding. Can you find someone to stop the bleeding first?"

"Please understand, we are experiencing an emergency, please cooperate with the hospital's arrangements!"

…

Looking at the patients who were arguing with the medical staff, Li Minfu kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hands and asked Gu Ji carefully.

"Prosecutor Jin, do you think this is okay? How long will we be closed? Is the suspect still in the hospital? He won't hurt people randomly, right?"

"I have notified the CDC and the police, they will arrive soon, let the patients rest separately, do not gather together, and distribute masks to them."

"Okay, okay, do as you say!"

Seeing that Gu Ji's eyes were already gloomy, Li Minfu was too frightened to dare to disobey any of his orders.

Soon, the hospital security team outside the door gathered at the door of the emergency room, picked up the stainless steel pillars and ribbons, and began to pull the wire to seal it.

"Look!"

“Hospitals really need to close their emergency rooms!”

Seeing that the hospital was really going to be closed, the patients in the emergency room began to panic. People squeezed and pushed each other, rushing to the door, looking for a safe exit. Some people had expressions of panic on their faces, and some others Some people looked anxiously at the crowd around them, as if they didn't know where to go.

"Didi! Beep..."

Seeing that the security team was about to be unable to stop the patient who broke through the door.

Suddenly, a piercing siren sounded in the parking lot, and police cars and white CDC assault vehicles parked in front of the hospital emergency room.

The car door opened, and many people got out and began to take over from security to maintain the blockade.

Disease control personnel are divided into three groups.

One group held yellow folding roadblocks and transparent plastic cloth rolls to block the door and set up closed passages. The second group carried quarantine medical boxes to collect samples. The third group carried large buckets of disinfectant and was responsible for killing bacteria, viruses and other infectious agents. .

"Who is Prosecutor Kim Ji-goo?"

"I am."

Gu Ji quickly finished taking the photos and rushed to the white-haired uncle's family with Jiang Chengxun, "It's just these few. I've been observing them for a long time. They have muscle soreness, shortness of breath, cough, fever, and chills. They are consistent with high suspicion!"

"Okay, take these people to the isolation ward immediately and conduct sampling tests!"

"Hey? Wait a minute, what are you going to do!"

The white-haired uncle saw that he was surrounded by disease control and tried to defend himself, thinking that Gu Ji was taking revenge for the scolding he had just received.

"Prosecutor Kim, have you found the suspect?"

"The person has run away. He is wearing black clothes and a gray peaked cap. There is surveillance at the entrance of the emergency room."

Coincidentally, the person responsible for responding to the call was the police officer from the Central Branch.

Gu Ji made a casual excuse, then pointed to the patients who were queuing up near the triage table just now, "Arrange all close contacts to line up, have their temperatures taken, and conduct random checks."

After saying that, he followed Jiang Chengxun to the isolation ward, and sent a text message to his subordinate Zhang Shiyun, asking him to contact the Busan police to protect Jiang Chengxun's family, and drove his car to the hospital parking lot.

In the second week, Gu Ji figured out something.

This is also a mistake he often makes. He is always limited to the immediate situation and has no idea of ​​the overall situation.

Jumping out of the three-quarter acre of land in front of him and using God's perspective to deal with this public health crisis, Gu Ji found that it was a lot like playing the game "Virus Inc."

Anyway, the initial state of the South Korean government is to treat the MERS incident as child's play.

Then he simply imagined it as a game.

According to the three key characteristics of the virus in the game: contagiousness, fatality, and compliance risk.

The second one was beyond Gu Ji's control.

Compliance risk-related indicators are "reverse", which is the main reason why CDC Director Zheng disagreed with Gu Ji's recommendation to implement an emergency blockade last week.

Because before MERS showed its terrifying contagiousness and fatality rate, the government and the public lacked understanding of it. Forcing an emergency response would not only affect the economy, but also cause public resentment and cause trouble at the Cheong Wa Dae.

After all, no one likes to be locked up in a hospital for no reason, especially tourists traveling from various places.

It’s also easy to reduce “adherence risk.”

The lifting of quarantines, financial subsidies, and high mortality rates from the virus have caused panic among the population.

The first two are not good solutions.

Therefore, Gu Ji chose the third option.

Take advantage of people's fear of "anthrax" to reduce rebellion.

The result is obvious. Even direct stakeholders like Lee Min-bok did not stand in the way, and the emergency room was successfully closed.

At the same time, this excuse can also be used to prioritize cutting off the source of infection.

That is to say, the white-haired uncle's family is isolated in the ward.

Emergency room on the fifth floor.

The room was isolated by a fence by CDC personnel and used exclusively as a closed ward for the white-haired uncle's family.

After sample collection is completed.

Gu Ji asked to go back to the CDC testing center with Jiang Chengxun on the grounds that the matter was urgent.

He did this mainly to prevent Shansang from making any small moves and to check whether he was infected with MERS.

Halfway through, his boss Sun Jae-suk suddenly called.

Without even thinking about it, it must have been an executive from Sansang Hospital who called the prosecutor to inquire. Sun Jae-seok didn't know the situation, so he could only ask himself.

He hung up without even looking and kept waiting outside the door of the testing center.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Chengxun walked out with the person in charge of the inspection center and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank God, it was not Bacillus anthracis. The patient's serum specimen tested negative for anti-anthrax-specific antibodies. However, we isolated the Cov virus from the blood and sputum samples. The specific name is not yet certain and further laboratory tests are needed for comparison."

"It's not anthrax, it's the Cov virus. This matter is of great importance. I need to see the detailed report!"

Gu Ji pretended to be a little surprised.

He also used the "anthrax attack" as a reason to ask the CDC to publish the test results.

Jiang Chengxun didn't think too much and went back to get the report and handed it to him.

"I need to keep the evidence." Gu Ji said, but he had already taken out the mobile phone he had prepared, took a picture of the virus identification certificate, and casually said: "The patient's epidemiological history mentioned that he had gone to If you have traveled to the Middle East, could you be infected with MERS?"

"MERS...is a possibility."

Jiang Chengxun pursed his lips and thought.

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes, "We don't know yet whether he was naturally infected or was infected by a man-made attack. In short, if it is really MERS, the patient will become the first imported case of MERS. This cannot be taken lightly. I request that it be reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immediately. !”

"There's no rush in this matter."

At this time, the middle-aged man in charge with black-rimmed glasses came back again, "Jiang Chengxun, it's getting late, let's get off work first."

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.

When I came to the CDC last week, it was the person in charge who sent him away. It seemed that Shan Sang was moving quite quickly.

That's right. If something like this happens in the most important hospital in your group, of course you have to keep an eye on it at all times.

It is estimated that as soon as the report came out, the hospital's top management had already initiated response measures.

Gu Ji did not choose to leave directly, but kept waiting in the car on the roadside.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Jiang Chengxun changed his clothes and came out of the gate. Not long after he drove out of the parking lot, a white Hyundai car followed him.

It seems that just like last week, Jiang Chengxun has been targeted.

Gu Ji also started the vehicle and followed them.

After leaving the city, seeing less traffic around them, the white Hyundai suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Jiang Chengxun's car, decelerating suddenly and forcing him to stop.

Just when Jiang Chengxun rolled down the window and was about to scold him.

The door of the white modern car opened, and four arrogant gangsters stepped out. The leader of the gang had a shaved head, small eyes, brown skin, and a tattoo on his neck. He was the one who threatened Gu in the previous week. Choi Il-doo.

"Are you crazy? Do you know that parking like this is very dangerous!"

"Hehehe, Researcher Jiang, right? Introduce yourself..."

Cui Idou placed a heavy hand on the driver's door frame and started his familiar opening remarks again, "We have already figured out the location of your hometown. There must be an old mother who is bedridden. If you don't want to cause trouble, don't mix it up." Do you understand this?"

"You, you dare to touch my family! I'm calling the police now!"

As soon as he heard about his mother, Jiang Chengxun became anxious instantly.

But before he could take out the phone, Cui Idou grabbed his collar and said, "Axiba! Didn't you fucking understand what I said?"

"Let him go."

A sudden sound interrupted Cui Idou's raised fist.

Everyone looked back and saw a tall and handsome man in a black suit walking over to record the video with his mobile phone.

"Ah! Where did you come from, idiot! If you don't want to be beaten, get out of here!"

One of the gangsters stood in front of Gu Ji aggressively, reaching out to grab his cell phone.

Gu Ji's eyelids drooped, his pupils revealed a fierce look, he twisted around and threw his arm, and punched out with his right hand, making a sharp sound.

The gangster fell to the ground with one punch.

"Shengzhe!"

"Xi Ba! You're looking for fucking death, aren't you?"

The gangsters suddenly looked ferocious, and some even took out a switchblade from their waists.

Cui Ridou had seen the world and saw that Gu Ji had extraordinary skills, "Who sent you, the Xicheng Qingshan Gang?"

There was no emotion or anger in Gu Ji's eyes, and he still recorded the video in a leisurely manner, "There's only one last minute left. I just called the police on the way."

"You've got the guts! Let's go!"

Cui Idou looked at the flashing red and blue police patrol car in the distance, gave Gu Ji a hard look, then quickly returned to the car and left.

Jiang Chengxun was left in shock.

"Jin, Prosecutor Jin? Have you been following me?"

"right."

Gu Ji went straight to the point, "The attitude of the person in charge of the laboratory center was a bit wrong. I suspected that something might go wrong, and sure enough, I encountered it. If they are so afraid to report it, does it mean that the matter is far more serious than we imagined?"

“Given the density of patients in Sansang’s emergency room in the afternoon, I’m afraid the infection has begun to spread.”

"If this is the case, we should report it to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immediately."

Jiang Chengxun also knew that Gu Ji's suggestion was right.

But he still hesitated.

"But I'm just a researcher, and reporting to higher levels is not allowed."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you. I've sent police to protect your hometown. As long as you can help me solve this case, I'll guarantee your promotion at CDC!"

Gu Ji is not trying to draw a big picture.

As long as this MERS incident can be handled well, Jiang Chengxun's promotion is certain.

"Okay! I promise you!"

…

The next day, Jiang Chengxun didn't even go to work, but followed Gu Ji to the disease management headquarters.

The two submitted the test report. Although it was against the rules, it still attracted the attention of the headquarters, and they personally sent people to Shansang Hospital to conduct random tests again.

as expected.

After learning that it was not an anthrax attack, yesterday evening, the emergency room of Shansang Hospital lifted the blockade and even moved the white-haired uncle to the general intensive care unit.

Gu Ji naturally knew Shan Sang's methods.

He also contacted Jiang Youzhen of AM Medical and reporter Lin Inna.

For the second week, Gu Ji was quite well prepared. A large number of photos and appraisal report data provided solid evidence.

As soon as Lin Renna was published on Little Blue Bird, she immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.

Although it was later reported to Sansang for infringement of privacy and removed from the shelves, it successfully forced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue an announcement on the diagnosis of MERS patients on the morning of the 20th, a full day earlier than last week.

For severe infectious diseases, time is the most precious.

If the announcement is made one day earlier to allow people to protect themselves, a lot of close contacts and potential infections will be reduced.

AM Hospital Administrative Building Conference Room.

A group of doctors and experts wearing white coats and masks sat around an oval desk.

Gu Ji, wearing a dark gray suit and a mask, sat on the left side of the main seat.

At this time, four days have passed since MERS first appeared. Thanks to the full influence of the second week of surveillance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has officially announced that there are 3 confirmed infected patients and 2 infected areas, namely Seoul Special City. and Gyeonggi Province.

Sitting in the main seat of the conference room is a young woman wearing a white shirt and a black hip-hugging skirt. Her black hair is tied back and she looks very noble. She is none other than AM Medical Director Jiang Youzhen.

"Prosecutor Jin, do you think there is a way to make our AM Medical surpass Sansang?"

"Yes, as long as you perform well in this public health incident, you will naturally attract the attention of the people and the attention of the government."

"So, what does Prosecutor Kim want us to do?"

Facing Jiang Youzhen and asking.

Gu Ji took out a document and pushed it in front of her: "Set up a MERS investigation team immediately and start response measures quickly!"
