"Set up an investigation team?"
"Yes, I need a professional investigation team that can establish contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. They will be responsible for collecting and reporting daily MERS infection status in major cities, ports, and airports in the country, the number of close patients, the emotional state of civilians, and population flow, etc.
wait."
Gu Ji had just finished speaking.
The doctors and experts attending the meeting began to lower their heads and discuss in low voices.
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of investigation team."
"The investigation is too difficult. Is it necessary? From the time MERS was discovered to now, a total of only three people have been infected!"
Gu Ji glanced at him, his face expressionless.
He has now completely treated this national public health crisis as a game.
Then "game data" is the most important.
This is actually the same principle as anti-terrorism.
Data equals information intelligence.
Only by keeping abreast of the country's infection situation can he formulate a reasonable solution strategy for a certain region, instead of just running around and focusing on the immediate future as before.
"AM Medical has branches in important cities in China and has close cooperation with the local CDC. We will try our best to implement this suggestion you made, but..."
Jiang Youzhen crossed his hands, his two green index fingers were slightly entwined, and changed the subject.
"Initiating response measures is difficult to implement without the help of government forces and relying on our hospitals alone. People generally will not cooperate easily. This requires a lot of manpower, funds, and especially the endorsement of Cheong Wa Dae."
"I know that we can take the initiative to station people at airports, important ports and other places to provide temperature checks and registrations for tourists, and distribute free masks and disinfectant wipes. In response to the current infections, hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province can
Establish a special channel for fever and respiratory diseases, separate and isolate them from ordinary patients, and check the epidemiological history of the patients."
While talking, Gu Ji took out his mobile phone, and on the screen was Lin Renna's resume information.
"This is Reporter Lin. I will ask her to start promoting AM Medical online from now on. You can send several experts to perform live broadcasts in shifts every day, mainly to promote personal protection, self-isolation, enhance public awareness, and provide free protective kits every day to attract
flow."
Originally, everyone had a lot of complaints about the "investigation team".
As soon as I heard that I had to find people to station at the airport for free, live broadcast live, and give free masks, disinfectants, and protective suits to civilians, how much manpower and money would be wasted?
"I don't agree. This is a waste of hospital resources!"
"I also disagree. Judging from the several MERS incidents announced by the World Health Organization in the past, the number of generally infected people did not exceed 4. I think this domestic incident will end soon, and there is no need to go to war like this."
"Prosecutor Kim, before formulating a strategy, have you calculated the investment ratio in detail? Do you know how much money it will cost just to prepare these masks and disinfectant?"
For a while.
Many experts pointed their fingers at Gu Ji, and some even slapped the table on the spot.
Gu Ji did not argue with them, but said calmly.
"Of course I know this will be a big expense, so I suggest you build your own factory production line, which can reduce costs. The traffic diverted through free distribution in the early stage will sooner or later be fed back to AM Hospital in the middle and later stages."
"Build a production line?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
A production line often costs hundreds of millions or even billions of won. With such a huge investment, is this person crazy?
Jiang Youzhen realized the hidden meaning of Gu Ji's words.
"Prosecutor Kim, are you saying that MERS will not end easily?"
"What do you think? Since the Ministry of Disease Control and Prevention announced the first case on the 20th, within 3 days, the number of infected people has increased to 3, and all of them came from hospital-treated infections. Once the virus mutates and has the ability to continue to be transmitted from person to person, what do you think?
With the hospital's current handling methods, can it stop the virus from spreading?"
Gu Ji's words were like thunder on the ground, waking up everyone.
Whether it is the Korean government or hospital experts, everyone is based on the current information survey and summary of MERS by the World Health Organization, thus ignoring the important feature of the virus that easily mutates.
If things develop as predicted by Gu Ji.
Then South Korea will surely face an international public health emergency, and people across the country will need a large number of masks, disinfectant alcohol, gloves and other medical protective items.
Jiang Youzhen seems to have seen an excellent opportunity for AM Medical to rise.
Her gaze moved from far to near, with determination in her eyes, "Okay, let's do what Prosecutor Jin wants!"
"Director Jiang, is it too risky to make a decision now..."
"I have decided."
Jiang Youzhen directly interrupted the hospital representative, then turned to look at Gu Ji, "I didn't expect Prosecutor Jin to have so much experience in the field of public health. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
"Without further ado, I will ask Reporter Lin to come over now!"
Gu Ji called Lin Renna directly.
"Okay, I have a younger brother who likes photography and journalism very much, so I asked him to connect with Reporter Lin."
Although Jiang Youzhen looks very young, he was born in a chaebol family and has been influenced by it since childhood. In addition, he graduated from a prestigious American school and has extremely strong execution ability.
She quickly arranged for the establishment of a national MERS investigation team within the group and sent medical teams to airports and ports.
In order to better promote AM Medical.
Jiang Youzhen even found a special room for the construction team to renovate and use it as a live broadcast room for experts to broadcast daily.
Lin Renna and her brother also rushed to the scene in the afternoon.
Jiang Youzhen's younger brother is younger and looks exactly like a recent college graduate. He has wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, and long hair tied back, full of literary and artistic atmosphere.
But Gu Ji always felt that this face seemed familiar.
"Let me introduce you, this is my younger brother, Jiang Songyuan."
What!?
The moment he heard Jiang Youzhen pronounce his name, the muscles on Gu Ji's face tensed up instantly.
It was unbelievable that he could see "Jiang Songyuan" again.
Only then did Gu Ji react.
When I first read the news, it was indeed mentioned that this guy came from a chaebol family of South Korea's AM Electronics Group. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"Hello, Prosecutor Kim."
When he was young, Jiang Songyuan looked very polite and took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello to Gu Ji.
I wonder if he would change history if he spoke now to dissuade this kid from going to Ethiopia in the future or remind him to keep a low profile.
But Gu Ji didn't do that.
After all, if someone you just met tells you what will happen ten years from now, no one will believe it, not to mention he doesn't owe Jiang Songyuan anything.
After several people got to know each other, they sat down together to discuss specific publicity strategies.
A few days passed.
According to data provided by the MERS investigation team, there are currently 18 infected people and 715 close contacts in South Korea. The first death has occurred, and the number of infected areas has expanded to 5.
They are Seoul Special City, Gyeonggi Province, Daejeon Metropolitan City, Chungcheongnam Province and Hyangju.
Yes, in the second week, Gu Ji still failed to prevent South Korean infected people from being imported into the country.
The main reason is that the Korean government is too lagging behind.
After the son of the third confirmed MERS patient went to the hospital with symptoms of high fever, not only was he not included in the quarantine list, the hospital did not even report the situation to the health authorities.
In the end, the MERS investigation team established by Gu Ji found out, but by then the patient had already flown abroad to Xiangzhou with a high fever.
Even so, the Ministry of Health and Welfare still does not disclose the list of hospitals.
It just posted a "MERS Prevention Tips" on Facebook, reminding Korean people to be careful with camels, warning everyone to avoid close contact with camels, and not to consume unsterilized camel milk and undercooked camel meat, because in the Middle East,
In the region, camels are the source of MERS infection.
In fact, camels are rarely seen in Korea except in places like zoos.
Saying it means not saying it.
Fortunately, Gu Ji organized response measures in advance and began to issue early warnings to several large private hospitals in Gyeonggi Province and Seoul, reminding the public to avoid going to crowded places and give priority to the free medical stations established by AM for PCR tests.
Once diagnosed, you can go directly to the AM Hospital’s dedicated fever and respiratory disease channel for treatment.
Finally, the number of infected patients is not rising as fast as last week.
On the morning of June 2, Gu Jiben planned to go to the laboratory to take a PCR test to see if he was infected with MERS. This has become something he must do every day.
As a result, I was just about to enter the outpatient clinic.
