Obviously, the infection of hundreds of people is an incident that cannot be even smaller than the entire country.

In the words of a leader, dozens or hundreds of people died in a mine accident. Although it is not very common to die from infectious diseases, it cannot be said that it is a very serious matter. After all, compared with cities with a population of millions or tens of millions, only five patients died within a few months, which does not explain the seriousness of the problem.

"I reserve the opinion on handling this matter." Fan Heng felt a little unhappy. His son Fan Wubing specifically explained to him that this time the matter was quite serious, but from now on, everyone's mind is not on the whole issue.

Everyone nodded. The Politburo meeting was obviously strictly recorded, and Fan Heng's reservations must also be recorded. After the matter is properly handled in the future, everyone must look back and review to see whose opinion is correct.

However, at this time, most people thought that Fan Heng was a bit of a big deal.

The leaders of the Ministry of Health all promised to come over that this incident had been firmly controlled and it would never be possible to expand or be uncontrollable. Of course, you are an outsider, there is no need to point fingers.

Fan Heng still expressed his concerns conscientiously, for example, the infectious disease that occurred this time was something that had never been seen in many years, and Guangzhou seemed to have no effective control measures when facing this problem.

"For a malignant infectious disease whose cause has not been identified, if it cannot be effectively controlled, its spread will be very rapid. I think the Ministry of Health should take some preventive measures to prevent the spread of SARS. If it spreads to the capital, it will be troublesome." Fan Heng said to everyone.

Some people said they didn't care much about this, "I guess they're catching a severe cold. How can people die if the typhoid fever is severe?"

What this means is naturally to say that Fan Heng is a bit of a big deal.

At this time, Fan Wubing had already arrived in Guangzhou by private plane.

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw the people in charge of the Guangzhou branch who came to greet him.

When we met at this time, we could already feel the mood changes in Guangzhou. To describe it in a more accurate term, it should be said to be panic.

Everyone who came to pick up the plane was wearing white masks. As soon as Fan Wubing got off the plane, he gave him a big mask.

"Mr. Fan, the situation here is special, so it's better to be careful." The person in charge of the Guangzhou branch said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing nodded, put on a mask very consciously, and then the group got into the car.

As soon as I entered the car, I smelled a scent of hydrogen peroxide. It was obvious that Guangzhou had made complete preparations before picking up the plane, and even the car was disinfected inside and out.

After the car arrived at the hotel where Shen Ying was, Fan Wubing hurried to Shen Ying's room and carefully asked for her condition.

"It's okay, I guess I'm having a severe cold and my cough has improved a lot." Although Shen Ying was still a little bit in her spirit, she no longer looked like she was coughing.

Fan Wubing tried her temperature with her hands and felt it was normal. Then he carefully diagnosed her pulse for a while, and then felt that the pulse was getting calm. It should not be a symptom of SARS, but it was obviously a false alarm.

"No matter what, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time." Fan Wubing made the decision.

In fact, it is easy to leave. Just reach the return of Fan Wubing's private plane, but Ziqi still has some things to do, so Fan Wubing and Shen Ying discussed it. When Ziqi's program is finished the day after tomorrow, everyone will go back to Beijing together.

Located in Guangzhou, Fan Wubing immediately obtained first-hand information about SARS.

At the end of December last year, a critically ill patient was transferred from Heyuan to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College. The patient's symptoms were very strange: persistent high fever, dry cough, and shadows occupied the entire lungs. Using any antibiotic to treat pneumonia was of no effect.

Two days later, news came from Heyuan that eight medical staff from a local hospital that had treated the patient were infected and had the same symptoms as the patient.

Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, was shocked, and the Guangdong medical community was shocked. The strange disease was finally called atypical pneumonia, an infectious disease that is a hundred times more terrible than ordinary pneumonia.

Guangdong was in panic just after the Spring Festival. On February 10, people began to buy some drugs and foods that were said to be able to prevent and treat SARS. In just two days, isatis root was out of stock and the white vinegar was sold out. So when someone in Beijing mailed white vinegar to his relatives working in the south, they found that the mailboxes used in the post office had been sold out.

"The real panic is still behind, now it's just a panic in Guangzhou-" Fan Wubing told everyone, "We need to do something to help the current medical community improve the conditions for fighting this new virus."

Everyone nodded and said that in this incident, medical staff were also infected in large quantities, which is a worrying issue. Even the conditions of such large hospitals cannot stop the spread of the disease. So how should ordinary people treat it?

The next day, Fan Wubing and the person in charge of the Guangzhou branch and his team, after contacting each other, took various supplies and a check of 20 million yuan to go to Guangzhou for the front line of receiving SARS patients, the first hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.

Here, Fan Wubing and others met Academician Zhong Nanshan of the Academy of Engineering.

"Please send the most critical SARS patients to us!" The moment Zhong Nanshan volunteered to the Provincial Health Department on behalf of the Institute of Respiratory Diseases of the First Hospital of Guang Medical University, the history of Guangdong's anti-nons struggle opened a tragic page.

At this time, it was the dark clouds that the SARS demon reached its craziest severe moment in Guangdong. As China's most famous respiratory disease expert, the leader of the Guangdong SARS medical treatment expert guidance group, who was ordered to be in danger. He could not have known that the enemy he faced was an unknown killer who was very contagious and people avoided it.

He could not have known that a group of colleagues had fallen under the clutches of SARS one after another, and he could not have known that this would be a fierce battle, and if it was not done well, it might affect his reputation.

He was one of the first experts to treat SARS patients, and was also the first person to realize the serious consequences of the spread of SARS and decisively submit emergency reports to the relevant departments. However, because he knew it completely, he could not allow himself to stand by and watch.

"We are originally engaged in respiratory disease research. Fighting SARS is a mission. Just like a mine clearance encounters a mine array, who do you not get on? This time it is SARS pneumonia, and the next time it may be infectious myocarditis. I believe that those who do heart disease research will stand at the forefront like us and will never escape because they are afraid of infection." The simple and unpretentious language interprets Zhong Nanshan's understanding of the bottom line of professional ethics.

When Fan Wubing faced such an expert, he had nothing to say. He just gave him a gift of condolences and a check of 20 million yuan to show his support for their fight against SARS.

The Guangzhou leaders who accompanied Fan Wubing to introduce the situation to them with emotion. Faced with old colleagues and subordinates who had been living with hardships for many years, and with his eyes of trust and expectation, Academician Zhong looked solemn. He said concisely, "It's time to test us!"

On New Year's Eve and when thousands of families reunited, the building of Guangyi Hushang Research Institute was brightly lit, shrouded in an almost suffocating tension. All medical staff gave up their vacation, stayed at their posts, and were on guard. All graduate students and students studying at Hushang Research Institute also volunteered to join the front line bravely.

The treatment process is tragic. Because the early critical SARS patients are very contagious, at the peak of the disease, two or three medical staff will fall down at the same time. In a short period of time, 26 white-clothed soldiers in Guangyi Hospital were infected, and four of them were knocked down in the ICU ward.

The god of death was close at hand, but no one fled at the battle, and no one was hesitant and confused. The one in front fell down and someone immediately made up for it. Once the fallen person was cured, he immediately returned to the battlefield without hesitation.

As the director of the Hujian Research Institute, Zhong Nanshan, who is nearly 70 years old, led the way and stayed in the intensive care unit regardless of his personal safety. His grandson made a special trip to visit relatives from New Zealand, but he almost never met his grandfather during the Spring Festival holiday.

Just two days before Fan Wubing and others were greeted, Academician Zhong, who had been unhappy for several days, fell ill due to overwork when he walked out of the ward after the examination. However, he only rested at home for two days, and as soon as the fever subsided, he immediately started to work hard again.

According to people next to me, Academician Zhong used his body to test his life and health as early as the British Isles. When human life and health were seriously threatened by SARS, this scientific fighter was obviously considering more than the hundreds of life issues at present. As China's most famous respiratory disease expert, he was struggling to explore how to form an effective prevention and control plan as soon as possible and subdue SARS, a public enemy of humanity as soon as possible.

To this end, the research team led by him combined with clinical practice, worked day and night, repeated observations, and repeated experiments. By giving non-invasive ventilation to patients with hypoxemia, helping breathe and maintaining airways, corticosteroids are used reasonably for patients with alveolaritis and lung fibrosis, and for those with bacterial infections. Some antibiotics are used in a targeted manner to reduce comorbidities, which has also become a relatively mature SARS prevention and treatment plan.

Because it is a strictly isolated infectious disease, Fan Wubing and others did not have close contact with the patients. Even the attending doctors waved their hands from a distance and greeted them. All the supplies were passed in with special people.

Fan Wubing stood outside and felt infinitely moved. Although most people were so angry that they mentioned it that they were itchy when they mentioned it, it could not be denied that there were still many people in this system that deserved admiration.
