Crisis Management Game

"So what should we do now?"

"Find ways to add more PCR testing points, screen infected people as soon as possible, and let live broadcast experts publicize the fact that MERS mutates and becomes more contagious. There is a limit to what we can do. We still have to find a way to get the government to come forward. It is best to get it to the Cheong Wa Dae. Charter.”

After Gu Ji briefly answered Jiang Youzhen's questions on the phone, he took Sun Zaixi and others to the virus PCR testing point of AM Hospital and handed them over to the nurse for sampling and testing.

Jiang Youzhen moved very quickly.

At noon, I asked my younger brothers Jiang Songyuan and Lin Renna to write a press release, and asked experts to promote it on live broadcast.

But even so, it still cannot prevent the infection from continuing to spread.

Although the entire country is responding to MERS events, according to the "Standard Guidelines for Infectious Disease Crisis Management" of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of South Korea, it has not yet reached the "severe" level of national disaster prevention and control, so the MERS level will continue to be maintained at "caution" stage.

It is precisely because of the government's continued indulgence.

On June 3, the number of confirmed infections increased to 30;

On June 4, there were 36 confirmed cases and 3 deaths;

On June 5, there were 41 confirmed cases and 4 deaths.

MERS patients died two days in a row, and the total number of confirmed cases exceeded 40. Cases of third-generation human-to-human transmission occurred for the first time, forcing schools to begin large-scale closures.

On June 3, there were only 214 schools closed, but by the 4th, the number instantly increased to 1,162. Suddenly, panic began to spread significantly in Korean society, and everyone was in danger.

AM Hospital’s expert live broadcast room has even exceeded 50,000 viewers every day.

But most seriously.

The task progress bar in the lower left corner of Gu Ji shows that there are currently 7 infected areas. In addition to the five areas previously announced by the World Health Organization, Busan Metropolitan City and Slovakia are also included.

That's right, because the South Korean government did not order the airport to be controlled.

A 38-year-old Kia Motors employee from South Korea arrived in Slovakia on June 3, 2015 and went to work in the northern city of Hitina. As a result, he developed suspected symptoms of MERS and was immediately transferred to the Capital Hospital where he was diagnosed with the infection.

As long as one more area is added, Gu Ji will face another failure.

I glanced at the two red hearts in the upper left corner, and my heart suddenly doubled in pressure.

He thought that the start of this round was perfect.

If he had to do it all over again, regardless of whether he would be infected with MERS, Gu Ji wouldn't have the energy to continue working on it. From the second update to the present, his nerves have not been in a state of tension every day.

If he hadn't chosen the Mark of Endurance as the first target reward, he would have collapsed long ago.

"No, we must find a way to get the South Korean government to start responding." Gu Ji took out his phone and continued to urge Jiang Youzhen to find a way to contact the Blue House.

Perhaps the MERS incident has reached a point where the South Korean government is unable to control it.

Jiang Youzhen actually made an appointment with experts from the Ministry of Welfare and Health, and even members of Congress and senior Blue House officials, and agreed to hold discussions at a hotel restaurant in the center of Seoul at 5:30 in the evening.

It was just after lunch time.

Gu Ji walked out of the isolation ward of AM Hospital and asked the nurse to spray alcohol for disinfection. In his hand was the PCR virus test report of Sun Jae Suk and others.

I don’t know if a few people just got lucky.

I had been in close contact with that fat prosecutor for so long, and even after testing for several days in a row, not one of them was positive.

"Let us go in! My son is dying, please save him!"

"Please let us in!"

"Please don't crowd, line up in an orderly manner, fill out the form first, focusing on the epidemic history, that is, where you have been in the past 14 days, then take your temperature and do PCR!"

At this time, chaos and quarrels suddenly broke out in the lobby of the outpatient department.

It turned out that a family brought their son to see a doctor. The father was holding the seven or eight-year-old child in his hands and trying to squeeze in through the isolation belt and the security personnel.

The child has fallen into a coma, but it is not known whether it was caused by MERS.

Because the original order issued by Gu Ji was that fever and respiratory clinics should be separated from other illnesses, the purpose was to prevent MERS-infected patients from infecting other people and causing nosocomial infections.

But with the concentrated outbreak of infection.

More and more Korean people come to large hospitals out of fear whenever they have a fever or cough. In addition, hospitals have to take care of a large number of medical observation and isolation patients every day, so that there is currently a shortage of manpower.

"Come and give in, give in quickly!"

Two medical staff wearing protective clothing, each carrying a translucent yellow bag with black biochemical symbols printed on it, is the hospital bag, which contains discarded masks, protective clothing, syringes and other medical waste.

The security personnel pulled down the isolation tape and let the medical staff go out first.

At this time, another medical staff was carrying two large boxes of disinfectant alcohol, preparing to get in through the gap.

Seeing that the security personnel were still blocking them and asking them to line up.

The anxious father finally broke out, suddenly picked up the child, knocked away the medical staff and rushed into the passage, "Let us go in!!"

"Ah!" The medical staff exclaimed and fell forward, taking the box out of their hands.

At this time, a woman happened to come over, supporting an old Korean lady who was coughing violently.

Seeing that the carton of alcohol weighing more than ten kilograms was about to hit the white-haired old lady, Gu Ji made a quick decision, bent his legs to gather strength, squatted down like an old ape, moved one foot close to the ground, and formed a cross with his arms. In front of you, block the falling box.

"Ah Yigu, Mom! Mom, are you okay?"

"Cough cough cough..."

The woman holding the white-haired old lady behind her was extremely concerned.

Then two young men and women wearing protective clothing and goggles ran over from the clinic corridor.

"Prosecutor Kim, our investigation team has just discovered that the medical system in Seoul has entered an emergency situation. The number of patients with fever and cough is increasing significantly. Now all the hospitals in the central district have begun to be unable to accommodate the patients..."

"The people in front of you should give way. The patient is suffering from severe abdominal bleeding. The operating room will be arranged immediately. Get out of the way!"

Before the investigator could finish speaking.

An ambulance was parked outside the gate of the clinic. Three doctors and nurses were pushing a stretcher cart. There was a patient lying on the stretcher cart, vomiting blood, and the protective clothing was covered with blood spots.

The patients who came to see the doctor thought they were MERS-infected patients and were so frightened that they ran away to the sides.

And a nurse saw such a bloody scene.

As I was walking, I suddenly leaned on the wall, knelt down on one knee and started to vomit.

But she was afraid that she would be infected if she took off the protective clothing, so she could only endure the accumulation of vomit in the N95 mask. A large amount of yellow viscous substance dripped along the gaps in the mask and dripped on the protective clothing, and there were even red blood streaks.

The colleague next to him immediately stepped forward to help.

"Taeyoung! Taeyoung, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just stayed up late for too long and my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable today..."

Things happened one after another before my eyes, without even a chance to breathe.

You know, AM Hospital is a hospital that Gu Ji personally directs. It has become such a mess. I can't imagine how miserable hospitals in other areas of Seoul will be.

"Also, Prosecutor Jin, there have been people making trouble at AM Hospital since noon today. There is a serious shortage of security personnel and nurses. Many medical staff have not rested for a day and a night..."

"Is someone causing trouble?"

Gu Ji was startled for a moment, and finally understood why the vomiting nurse said such words.

But it's already this time, why would anyone dare to come to the hospital to cause trouble?

"Immediately transfer some of the medical staff from the mild ward to the outpatient clinic to replace those who work longer hours. In addition, we will increase bonuses for all medical staff who insist on working on the front line. They must have good meals. After this incident, they will be guaranteed to be paid. take a vacation……"

"Bah bang bang!"

Just when Gu Ji was making arrangements to adjust the hospital's work policy, a series of loud applause suddenly came from outside the door.

When he looked back, he saw that they were on opposite sides of the road.

It turned out to be the Mountain Dog Gang, and the one who led the applause was Cui Ildou. However, this guy seemed to be afraid of being infected with MERS, so he always wore a mask: "Ah! Prosecutor Jin, I didn't expect that besides investigating the case, you also knew So many, what a talent!”

"Were you the one who came to cause trouble this morning?"

Although there was no wave in Gu Ji's eyes, the veins in his neck had already begun to beat.

The MERS crisis has developed to this point, but there are still people who can't distinguish the situation, work for the chaebol, and cause havoc.

"So what if it's me?"

Cui Idou raised his head and smiled, narrowed his eyes and spoke sternly.

"Don't think that if you arrange a few police officers to protect your family and hide in the hospital every day, I can't do anything to you! I tell you Jin Zhijiu, be honest with me and stop the live broadcast immediately. If you say anything that is not good for Shansang With your remarks, be careful that I prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow!"

Gu Ji's eyes narrowed, and a flash of crazy blood flashed in his eyes, "I'm warning you one last time, leave the hospital immediately. If I find you causing trouble again, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Cui Idou's expression changed.

This is the second time the two have met.

He had read the information about "Jin Zhijiu". He was a commoner who came from a poor family. He relied on his own ability to pass the judicial examination and squeezed into the prosecutor's profession.

But whether it was his intervention that day, saving the researcher, or his harsh words right before his eyes.

Cui Idou always felt that the person in front of him was not as simple as an ordinary prosecutor.

"Xiba slang! Are you looking for death? How dare you talk to my elder brother like that!" A sturdy boy next to him couldn't see it. He moved his feet and rushed towards Gu Ji.

Seeing this, Gu Jili's eyes widened.

Instead of dodging, he raised his feet and lunged to meet him.

Spreading the five fingers of his right hand, he grabbed the opponent's fist into the palm of his hand. The moment he caught it, he yanked it into his arms and dragged the opponent forward to the ground. He stepped forward and sat directly on the gangster's back, wrapping his arms around his neck and saying goodbye. , the pain made me grin.

The police used grappling and fighting, breaking his wrists and wrapping his neck.

After experiencing the Jinbang training camp, Gu Ji's actual close combat has already reached a new level.

"Zhengzhe!"

Seeing his younger brother being straddled on his head, Cui Ridou suddenly rushed up with his men while Gu Ji raised his head and exhaled.

Gu Ji's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

A fierce battle was about to break out between the two sides.

Unexpectedly, a feeble cry in the chaos, like pressing the pause button, stopped Cui Idou in the middle of the road.

"Rito, cough, cough, cough..."

"Grandma, grandma, why are you here?"

Cui Idou couldn't believe that his grandmother and mother were also in the outpatient clinic of AM Hospital. From his mother's supporting movements and his grandmother's pale look, it could be seen that she seemed to be seriously ill.

"Rito, no, no more coughing, coughing, and vomiting..."

"I asked you why you are here!"

Cui Idou stared, his eyes were about to burst, and he shouted loudly, "Why do you look so bad, why are you coughing, mom, why don't you wear a mask!"

"Ahem, cough, cough... Ridou, don't fight. Mr. Jin is good, that's good..."

The white-haired old lady tried with all her strength to persuade her grandson not to take action, but she coughed so hard that she couldn't breathe and passed out on the spot.

"grandmother!"

"Doctor, help me quickly!"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly supported the old man and pushed Cui Idou away, crying and cursing: "You bastard! Grandma has a fever, cough, and can't breathe. She has been sick for how many days. How many times have I called you?" , you don’t even answer, do you know how hard it is to buy masks now! Just like your gambler father, he will think about it later, get out of here!"

Cui Idou's eyes suddenly turned red. He actually took off the mask and put it on his mother's face, "Mom, put it on quickly! Grandma is already infected. I can't let you get infected anymore. Put it on quickly!"

"Get out of the way!" Gu Ji walked over quickly.

Cui Ridou's expression suddenly changed. He thought he was coming to beat him, so he said bitterly:

"Jin Zhijiu, what are you going to do! I'm warning you, if you dare to touch my family, I will fight you to the death!!"

"Ah! You bastard! This Mr. Jin just saved grandma, you ungrateful thing!!"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman waved her hand and slapped Cui Idou hard.

It turns out that Cui Idou's grandmother is the old Korean woman who Gu Ji just blocked the alcohol box from.

Hearing this, the hostility in Cui Ridou's eyes instantly disintegrated. He watched Gu Ji take out three medical masks from his pocket and hand them over. He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't say a word. He just stood there awkwardly.

Gu Ji didn't look at him. He lowered his eyes and looked at the unconscious white-haired old lady.

"Where have you been or what patients have you been in contact with in the past 14 days?"

"Mr. Jin, Grandma Ridou's heart has been bad and she has diabetes. She used to go to Sansang Hospital for treatment, but I heard that there are a lot of people with fever and cough there recently. I saw that AM Hospital has a special fever clinic channel. , so I thought of taking her to have a look..."

After listening to his mother's description, Cui Idou felt as if his soul had been emptied out. His body collapsed instantly, and he looked as if he had aged ten years.

He knew that his grandma must have been infected with MERS.

But never would he have imagined that the place where grandma was infected was actually the mountain mulberry he had been helping!

"Judging from the symptoms and epidemiological information, it meets the high suspicion criteria for MERS infection. Go queue up for a PCR virus test."

"Prosecutor Kim! Please save my grandma!"

Gu Jigang had just made his judgment, and with a "plop", Cui Ridou knelt down in front of him on the spot, leaving all the gangsters behind him stunned.

But he didn't care about the eyes of his men. "Bang bang bang," he kowtowed three times in a row, then grabbed Gu Ji's shoes and begged in tears.

"I know I'm not qualified to beg you, but grandma is different from me. She is the kindest person in the world. She has a bad heart and her infection with MERS must be very serious. Please do your part to save grandma. I will definitely be your mother in the future. You can do anything, even let me die!!"

"Get up! Put on the mask! Put it on"

Gu Ji scolded him twice in succession.

But Cui Idou didn't listen at all. He kept kneeling and kowtowed. His forehead hit the tile floor of the clinic, and blood soon came out, which was mixed with snot and tears.

Special channel for fever clinic.

The father who forced his way into the passage with his child was also caught by security and medical staff. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears, "God! Why are you so cruel? My son is only eight years old this year!" If you have the guts to take my life away, woo woo woo..."

The surrounding patients and medical staff were also affected by the scene of Cui Ildou and his father crying.

The stress of long-term, high-intensity work;

The nerves of being frightened all day long;

The pain of a loved one being infected;

And, the difficulty of medical treatment.

Ever since the first confirmed MERS patient appeared on May 20, all negative emotions seemed to burst out at this moment.

"Everyone listen to me."

Just when the scene got out of control and everyone's emotions hit rock bottom, Gu Ji suddenly shouted loudly, causing everyone to raise their heads and look at him.

"I know that everyone has many difficulties, but please also give our medical staff more understanding. I am Kim Ji-goo, a prosecutor from the Public Security Section of the Central District Prosecutors' Office in Seoul, Republic of Korea. I specialize in handling biological and chemical attacks. The AM Hospital I work with has already Emergency response measures initiated."

"The medical staff in the mild ward are rushing to the fever clinic channel for support. The medical observation room, intensive isolation ward, oxygen therapy machine, ventilator, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support technology are all ready. Please believe me and the hospital. , from now on, line up in an orderly manner, and we will definitely do our best to save every patient!!"

The words fell.

The whole place was silent.

There was silence for a long time, and someone clapped. The patients, medical staff, and even the Mountain Dog Gang men all had their eyes wet and red, and they subconsciously clapped and cheered together.

"Thank you! Prosecutor Jin! Thank you for not remembering the faults of villains! Thank you..."

Cui Idou wiped away the snot and blood with his sleeve, and a look of ruthlessness and determination flashed in his eyes: "I, Cui Idou, will do what I say, and I will act like a horse for you. I will lead people to destroy Shansang Hospital now!"

But before he could stand up, Gu Ji grabbed his shoulder.

Cui Idou felt as if his shoulder blades were clamped by pliers.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized how big the gap was between himself and the other party.

"Cui Idou, the hospital is not saving people because of your begging, and I don't need you to destroy Shansang Hospital."

"Then just tell me what you want me to do, even if you ask me to kill people, I, Cui Idou, will never hesitate!"

"You and your men, get out of here and get a PCR virus test right now!"

PCR is polymerase chain reaction, a way to test positive for viruses. Because those two words are more sensitive, I use this one instead.
