Chapter 90: Battle

It was already midnight when Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun returned to Ningling. After discussing the next morning, they announced that the city would launch an emergency response mechanism and set up corresponding emergency offices in cities, counties and districts, both of them seized time to rest. The next day would be another busy day.

Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun also divided the work on the road, and Zhao Guodong was still the leader in dealing with the SARS epidemic. Zhong Yuejun's main energy was still on the construction of investment promotion projects in the development zone and the development and construction of Jiangdong New Area, especially the construction of the main line bridge.

Since the preliminary preparations for the main line bridge are quite sufficient, the construction of the main line bridge won by China Construction Group is quite fast, which is good news for Ningling. Therefore, there is a lot of work that needs to be coordinated in many aspects such as transportation, material preparation, etc. Zhao Guodong also feels that the normal development of Ningling cannot be affected by the SARS epidemic.

Zhong Yuejun was also very satisfied. In his opinion, Zhao Guodong took the initiative to undertake the thankless political work of dealing with the SARS epidemic, which was also a kind-hearted reward for expressing his attitude towards the other party tonight. It also allowed him to feel at ease to promote the two tasks in his hands. The two tasks of the project introduction and construction and the development and construction of Jiangdong New Area are crucial to Ningling this year. Of course, the fight against SARS must be carried out, but development cannot be left behind.

Zhao Guodong is responsible for the fight against SARS, which not only shows the Ningling Municipal Party Committee's importance to this work, but also reduces the work pressure of other municipal leaders. Otherwise, if other municipal leaders are replaced, the province may not be satisfied. If there is a problem, it may even be held accountable, and it is not conducive to overall arrangements and arrangements in work.

The Municipal Infectious Disease Hospital was designated as a designated hospital for SARS patients in the entire Ningling City. Once it was determined to be a suspected case, it was immediately transferred to the Municipal Infectious Disease Hospital for isolation and treatment. The work of the Municipal Infectious Disease Hospital also made a group of leaders of the Municipal Health Bureau pay special attention due to the unexpected attention of Zhao Guodong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, in the early stage.

Especially when the city's finance department specially approved funds were in place on time, this hospital, which originally occupied a large area and had a good construction area, but it seemed a bit simple, became warm all of a sudden.

Not only has the hospital re-planned and renovated the ward construction, but more importantly, it has been fully satisfied with medical facilities and equipment. Equipment such as ventilators and protective clothing adopt good quality brands, especially protective clothing, which basically uses high-end products from foreign countries such as DuPont, which even the director of the infectious disease hospital feels a bit luxurious.

In his opinion, it seems that he may not be able to use such things until retirement, and ordinary epidemic infectious diseases do not require such a large amount of things to reserve.

The medical staff of infectious disease hospitals have also been enriched with Zhao Guodong's special attention, and have also conducted two medical protection trainings for highly pathogenic infectious diseases in the infectious disease hospitals. Not only are all medical staff of infectious disease hospitals participating, but the Municipal Health Bureau also arranged some medical staff of county-level people's hospitals and health centers in the city to participate.

Fu Juan and Miao Jinya have always believed that Zhao Guodong might be a little nervous or overly sensitive, but when the SARS epidemic spread from South Guangdong to Anyuan, they were deeply shocked by Zhao Guodong's too strange prescient vision.

Fu Juan also asked Zhao Guodong why he knew so long in advance. Zhao Guodong also explained to them that his younger brother had discovered this case in November and February. In addition, he noticed the flu epidemic in Beijing, so he was particularly sensitive, which barely fulfilled this lie.

At this time, the newly renovated and fully equipped Municipal Infectious Disease Hospital showed its power. As soon as two suspected cases were sent to the hospital, the entire hospital operation mechanism was operated according to the actual combat form that had been practiced many times at the beginning, and everything was implemented in accordance with the requirements of the municipal party committee and government in accordance with the strictest standards.

All hospital staff who were in contact with patients in Tucheng and relatives who were in contact with two suspected cases were quarantined and observed first regardless of whether they were found or not.

After the emergency response mechanism was launched, the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Government also made further preparations in advance. The Third People's Hospital, located in the suburbs of the city, also began to prepare as a backup hospital, isolating a ward far from the main campus as a backup area. Once too many patients are admitted to the municipal infectious disease hospital and cannot meet the needs, the backup campus will be activated.

Everything is operating in accordance with the emergency plan formulated in advance, which has not greatly affected the normal work of Ningling City. Of course, under the unified arrangement of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, all districts and counties have also strengthened publicity, especially grassroots organizations have mobilized to closely monitor those who have returned from Nanyue.

Zhao Guodong felt that his nerves seemed to have been tense the most in the past few days, even exceeding the 1998 flood. At that time, he seemed to just feel physically tired, but this time it was different.

Although I was inspecting and understanding all day long, I was not very tired after all, but my nerves were tense. A little call would make him subconsciously nervous. It seemed that he was still experiencing too few storms, or that the things about all this in his memory in later generations left too deep impression on him, which made him too sensitive, but he would rather be more sensitive.

During the three-day inspection, two passengers on Ningling were still not found. Other passengers had already gone to the observation room specially prepared by the county-level hospital for isolation and observation, but no fever symptoms were found, which made Zhao Guodong breathe a sigh of relief.

However, if the situation is still good for Ningling, then other cities and counties will not be optimistic. Yongliang found two fever patients within three days, suspected of being suspected cases, while the number of suspected patients in Andu has skyrocketed to eleven. At the same time, the number of suspected cases in Nanhua has also increased to two. Qianzhou, Huaiqing and Rongshan has been found in one suspected case, and the number of suspected cases in the whole province has rapidly increased to twenty. This explosive growth has suddenly become more tense in the province.

Fu Juan felt extremely heavy when she entered Zhao Guodong's office.

Judging from the observations of two suspected cases sent to infectious disease hospitals, the provincial expert group has basically tended to confirm that the two were SARS cases. This is the first time that after four cases were confirmed in other cities and cities, other cities and cities were confirmed to have SARS cases. What made Fu Juan even more worried was that the report had just been reported, and the families of three patients who were under quarantine observation in Tucheng County People's Hospital, that is, close contacts, also showed signs of fever. They are now on their way to the city's infectious disease hospital.

After listening to Fu Juan's report, Zhao Guodong couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the thing he was most worried about was still happening.

Once these two patients in Ningling are diagnosed, it means that the three close contacts with fever mentioned by Fu Juan can basically be identified as infected SARS patients. Then there are five patients in Ningling, and there are dozens of people still under quarantine observation. It is hard to say whether the dozens of people will continue to have fever symptoms.

In particular, there are two people in the same car as the two confirmed patients who got off the bus on the way and were not found. If these two people also had fever symptoms and wandered around, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Ningling made quite sufficient work preparations in the early stage, and the medical staff strictly followed the protective procedures of the preliminary drills, without adverse symptoms. The medical staff of the municipal infectious disease hospital, which was mobilized in advance, did not experience any emotional fluctuations that Zhao Guodong was a little worried about in advance.

What Zhao Guodong is most afraid of is the disarray of morale in the medical team, which is very likely to lead to work omissions and expand the epidemic.

"How is the situation in other cities?" Zhao Guodong asked with all his might to cheer up.

"It's all bad. Yongliang added another suspected patient. Andu added five more suspected patients within 24 hours yesterday. The number of people in quarantine has reached hundreds. Huaiqing added three more suspected patients, two more suspected patients in Pennsylvania, and one suspected patient in Tongcheng... "Fu Juan was also a little tired. Her high tension and fatigue for many days made her always good health feel a little unbearable.

"Hmph, it seems that we are all surrounded. There are suspected patients in Tongcheng, Pennsylvania, and Yongliang. There are also suspected cases in Hunan Province in the east. The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building." Zhao Guodong sighed.

"Secretary Zhao, don't be pessimistic. I think our Ningling protection work is the best in the province. At least every task we have come to the forefront, and we are in place in time to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, leaving no hidden dangers. The medical staff team is stable in their minds and strict insecure measures. No medical staff has been infected by patients due to poor protection. I think this is an amazing achievement! As far as I know, three medical staff in Andu have developed fever symptoms, which was originally what I was most worried about, but now it seems that everything we did in the early stage is worth it!"

Fu Juan is also quite proud of the many work she did in the early stage. The cases that are now appearing are imported cases and their close contacts. This has nothing to do with the previous work. The work of the Party Committee and the government is powerful and in place, and Zhao Guodong's foresight is undoubtedly extremely wise.
