Chapter 962-20 D-day

This chapter is Chapter 3 for the leader Nebula Ruoyu. After this chapter, there are still 8 chapters to be updated

On January [-], the weather was fine.

I don't know if the weather in Ningyuan this year is weird or normal.The severe ice and snow weather of previous years did not appear, and was replaced by two months of no precipitation.

No snow, dry weather.This environment is very likely to cause upper respiratory tract infections, coughing and expectoration, and the onset of bronchitis.

Due to the early warning of news about Yunhe, the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Fourth Hospital is currently doing its best to free up three single rooms.These single rooms will be specially used for the admission and treatment of patients with a history of traveling in Yunhe and showing fever and respiratory symptoms.

Before the mNGS examination report of the Comprehensive Diagnostic Center is released, these patients need to be observed and treated in a negative pressure single room.

When this policy was implemented in the hospital, it was not surprising that patients were criticized and did not cooperate.In just two days from yesterday to today, the hospital office received more than eight complaints from patients.In addition to the complaints of three patients who were quarantined, the remaining five were complaints from other patients who were not quarantined-they felt that the hospital was making a fuss.

The hospital office had already received Song Wen's order, and basically did not respond to complaints in this regard.But there are still reports that should be given—eight complaints in two days. Director Huang Wenhui believes that her blood pressure must be at least 160 or above.

The staff of Sun Lien's mNGS inspection laboratory are also under great pressure.The machine has been used less than twenty times since it was installed around May last year until two days ago.In seven months, the device was activated no more than twenty times.This level of application intensity once made these recruited professionals worry that they might be fired.

Now they don't have to worry about getting fired at all.Quite the contrary, they began to worry about their sudden death on the job.

"Director Sun, this level of intensity is really too great." The director in charge of this third-level biology laboratory is Shen Xi's fellow apprentice and Dr. Cao Xin's immediate junior Ji Wei.Being in charge of this laboratory is Dr. Ji's first job after graduation.He has inherited Dr. Cao's careful and caring characteristics very well, and at the same time, he also has some of Shen Xi's usual serious and competitive characteristics.

No, on the second day of high-intensity work in the laboratory, Ji Wei found Sun Lien's office, and expressed his concern very worriedly, "People's affairs are easy to solve, if it is not possible, we will arrange three shifts this month But the machine needs to be overhauled and maintained. If it is used at such a high intensity, the machine may be unable to handle it before humans.”

"The machine is for use." Regarding Ji Wei's worries, Sun Li'en was not very worried, "I can't bear this kind of strength? Anyway, don't worry, as long as it is not intentionally damaged, even if it is worn out, I will not trouble you."

"I think... can we consider changing the testing plan?" Ji Wei didn't think it was strange to Sun Lien's reaction - it was the dean to test every fever patient with a history of living in Yunhe. requirements.But he felt that he might have a better way to improve efficiency. "The intensity is still up to par. If there are more patients to be tested in the future, maybe we can mix patient samples together for batch testing?"

"Aren't you just messing around." Sun Lien was very dissatisfied with this proposal, "You know why the testing is done now. You mix up the patient samples that need to be tested, and if there are really positives by then, how can we identify them?"

"It takes at least six hours to complete a test." Ji Wei said seriously, "Now we can test up to four samples a day. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to test all patients in the hospital once—even if the test The scope is narrowed to the point where only respiratory medicine is tested, and it takes 78 days to test all [-] beds. If the pathogenicity of this pathogen is close to or even equal to that of SARS, then it is impossible to detect it before the onset of the disease by mNGS alone. All patients are checked. But it is different when multiple people are mixed. Samples of ten or even twenty patients are mixed together for testing. Once the genetic characteristics of the coronavirus we are looking for are detected, these patients are grouped again. Sequencing. It only takes one day for us to find the virus carrier again." He put his hands on the table, leaned forward and stared at Sun Lien and said, "There is only one mNGS in our hospital, and the related nucleic acid detection kit is designed Before it comes out, this is the safest and most efficient solution!"

"Now... follow our original plan." Sun Lien was persuaded, and he had to admit that if the disease spreads rapidly and the demand for testing explodes...Ji Wei's plan is the only one that can guarantee testing Efficiency and timeliness approach.But Sun Li'en is not ready to start this plan now, "The current testing is mainly to ensure the safety of patients received in the hospital. If this happens in the future, then switch to your plan."

Now the implementation of mNGS testing in hospitals mainly relies on "cheat".Fudge patients with a history of living in Yunhe actively accept the test, on the one hand because it is free, and on the other hand because this test is really helpful for infection.Mixed tests are required... free is still free, but this means that this kind of plan cannot be used to fool patients into cooperating.Sun Li'en doesn't plan to do this for the time being.

Director Huang Wenhui also planned to take the opportunity to grab two handfuls of Dean Song's wool.

"The matter is a little more difficult than we expected." After reporting the mNGS detection adjustment plan with Liu Tangchun face to face, Comrade Liu did not express his opinion.He talked about other issues to Sun Lien, "The expert team has arrived at Yunhe, you know about this, right?"

"I know." Sun Li'en nodded, and he asked cautiously, "The situation on Yunhe's side...is it bad?"

"The worst part is that we don't know how bad the local situation is." Liu Tangchun sighed, "Don't say this to the outside world, just me and my father."

Liu Tangchun was really worried. What he regretted most was that he could hear bad news from his old friends every day.

The bad news today is that the attitude of local comrades towards this epidemic... is a little too cautious.

If you are doing scientific research, it is very necessary and necessary to set a very cautious and strict standard for things.The standard is not strict enough, which will lead to a large amount of irrelevant data interference.Collecting and analyzing these data, on the one hand, will occupy a considerable part or even most of scientific research resources, resulting in the data that urgently needs to be analyzed being covered up by invalid data.On the other hand, it will lead to bias in the overall data, thus misleading researchers to draw biased or even completely wrong conclusions.

But now, what the Yunhe area has to face is not simply a scientific research issue.What they need to face is a virus that may be close to or even as powerful as SARS more than ten years ago.And we know next to nothing about this virus.

This is not only a scientific research issue, it is also a public health issue, an urban management issue, and even higher, it is a political issue.

The basic political issue of which is more important, the maintenance of society and the health and safety of the people.

　Four today.
