679. This pot of rice is starting to go wrong

niaid is the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Compared with the many American state institutions, Niaid is actually not large in scale, and its research institutes and laboratories are also limited. Although the headquarters is in Washington, DC, the address is actually in Maryland, north of the DC.

Maryland is next to the capital Washington DC, where all the ZF agencies have settled their homes here, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is one of them.

HHS is a ministerial-level unit in the United States and has three directly affiliated institutions, namely the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institute of Health (NIH).

The niaiid under the jurisdiction of Westphe is under the name of Nih.

It is logical that Nih's management scope is wider than Niahid, and the authority of Nih's in charge is naturally greater than that of Niahid's Siph. But the reality is not the case at all. Siph's hidden status is not only higher than that of Nih Dean. If the country faces a major threat of infectious diseases, then the ministers of HHS will stand on the side.

The only person who can stand with him is the director of cdc.

There must be his personal charm in it, but there must be something else at work.

I have to say that Sipher's report can explain from a theoretical basis why CDC could easily block the spread of emotions a month ago. On this basis, coupled with his ten years of work as director, his leaders trusted this statement very much.

"It turned out that it was just a little bit worse, and I thought it was very serious."

"Please rest assured that the cases have been cleared."

"Yeah...just clear the zero."

"I think since the new virus has been cleared and the research has reached a certain level, we can take a step next." Sever sent the research report, and then sent another report, "After all, it's a new virus after being mixed, I think it's necessary to report who."

The United States is the world's beacon, the well-deserved number one in the fields of culture, military and zz, and health care is no exception.

The discovery of new viruses and clearing cases and unraveling the genetic sequences in just two months fully demonstrates the strength of the United States. Now that the economy has fallen apart, the boss's status has loosened, it is just right for this matter to smooth out some gossip.

"Okay, you guys can do it. Then I'll send you an official document and I'll sign it."

"Um."

"Compared with this, I think we should talk more about the medical budget for the first quarter of next year. Because it happens to be a critical period of the flu season, Minister HHS still thinks it is better to discuss it with you..."

For the leader on the court, the biggest problem facing the United States now is the financial crisis.

If you spend a huge amount of money on medical care, it will be soft and comfortable to wipe it like a towel that has absorbed enough water. But now it has changed, and your mouth is dry and your tongue is very dehydrated, and you can't even solve it. How can you use it to wipe your face?

Now that the United States is at a critical moment, this towel is the easiest to absorb water and is the easiest to twist it out.

Anyway, the flu season before them is just some greasy faces, far from being clean, so the medical system will tolerate it and save Wall Street first. As long as Wall Street is alive, nothing else is a problem.

Of course, the helmsman of cdc and niaid understands this truth, but obviously Siefer did not agree to do so: "Although the case of h1n1 has been cleared, we cannot take it lightly. If this is an imported virus entering from abroad, there will definitely be the next time if there is this time."

"Don't your origin report say that the pig farm in North Carolina is written? Why did you go abroad again?"

"This is just a hypothesis." Sipher did not explain more about the content on his report paper, but praised it. "The report shows that our existing capabilities can only be found here, and the next one is the unknown."

"Oh... I can't bear it? I only need one year! I will recover in a year!"

Sipher looked at the director of the cdc around him, and after exchanging his eyes, he could only agree. Who made the person in front of him the leader of the entire United States? At this point, if he really abandoned finance, the entire country would collapse.

He doesn't know how to say the famous quotes that there is a finished egg while the nest is destroyed, but he always understands the truth.

"Okay, let's stick with it."

It is not easy to make such a decision. After all, it is better to deal with it three months ago. Without the premise of zeroing in the number of cases, no one dares to boldly protect it.

Moreover, the mortality rate of ordinary influenza is very low, and most of it occurs in the elderly with poor physical foundation. Even if the United States reduces medical expenses, it is only the same as in previous years, and the daily reserve of medical resources is completely sufficient.

So the two people in the office were fighting on the surface, but there was nothing to panic in their hearts.

The only thing that was panicked in the entire office and around was a middle-aged woman at the door.

With empty hands, she kept muttering some words, looking out of place with the specialists holding documents around her. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would have been snatching the door and revealed the content of the report she had repeatedly prepared in her heart.

The one-hour morning newspaper came to an end soon. When Siphth and Director CDC left together, the woman squeezed out two followers and went straight to meet him: "Who is Director Cialis?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I have something to tell you!"

Sipher had never seen her before, and was strange about her sudden visit: "Who are you? What's the matter with me?"

"I am..." The woman finally remembered her self-introduction and hurriedly took out a business card from her pocket. "I am a researcher at Nih, and Chris is my old classmate."

Speaking of Chris, a simple connection diagram soon emerged in Sever's mind, and at the same time, he also arranged the order of women's requirements. He raised his hand and looked at the time, found an excuse, and suggested: "I have an important meeting next, and I don't have time now. If you really have an urgent matter, what about the afternoon?"

"No, no, Director Siphe, you must have misunderstood!"

The woman looked around, took advantage of the moment when no one noticed, pulled his sleeve, went straight up and whispered: "Chris wants me to tell you that h1n1 is rekindled!"

“…”

Sipher was so surprised that he couldn't even reply to the previous sentence as soon as possible.

Hasn1 h1n1 been suppressed?

Did the cdc blockade really have a loophole when it was the same as someone said?

Also, why did Chris know about this first? CDC has no news at all...

Following his thoughts, he quickly turned his eyes to Red who was walking in front. Just now, almost the same plot happened to his old friend, and even the other party turned around and looked at him as soon as possible.

The shock and doubt of the two were intertwined through their eyes.

After obtaining the information, the first thing to do is not to continue to pass the information upward, but to judge the correctness of the information first.

If the information had only a single source, they might not care too much. It was normal for certain misjudgments to occur in the flu season. The rekindling was through two completely different ways, reaching Washington, DC almost at the same time, and both had to pay attention to it.

"How did Chris know? Isn't he still in the lab?"

The woman frowned and bit her lips tightly, shook her head: "I, I don't know either. He called me just now and asked me to come here as soon as possible to tell you all this. I'm just a researcher who studies tumors. An hour ago I didn't even know what the h1n1 he said was."

"What about you?" Red looked at the messenger here, "Where did your news come from?"

"It was an email from Lehn CDC." The person who reported the message was a doctor holding a simple report document. "At four o'clock in the morning, a positive newborn was found at Lehn Hospital with severe pneumonia and high fever. It was originally inferred that the mother should have been infected, but later it was confirmed that she seemed to be dead."

"Dead?!" Red was surprised.

"Director, don't be nervous. I heard that the cause of death was postpartum bleeding, not pneumonia."

"Can you make the words clear at once? I'm so scared..."

Red breathed a little relieved. The rekindled will definitely make him miserable. If the deaths increase, it will not be as simple as a number on paper. The most important thing now is the newborn, and his life is very important:

"How is the newborn? Has the virus been traced?"

"Lehn Hospital used oseltamivir at the first time. The situation is pretty good now, at least it has not become a serious disease. As for the source traceability, Lehn has few people and equipment, and he has no ability to do the source traceability."

"It seems that someone will still be sent."

Red was a little annoyed. If it weren't for the flu, he wouldn't have been short of people to recall them. But now it's useless to think about these things. He spent a lot of effort to isolate Leon, and he promoted and rewarded them. Now he used the same trick again and it probably wouldn't work.

Once the virus spreads, it will soon flood the entire United States.

He knew very well what he was facing. If a large-scale infection broke out, even the lowest mortality rate would be limitedly amplified due to the huge infection base. The financial economy is already like this, if there is a new virus...

Siphon, who was sitting next to him, thought farther than him.

However, before that, the first thing he thought of was the young Chinese man who called him last night. The other party's guess came true, and Lehn was not clean at all.

Now the love of the newborn is not a problem of just a newborn. Looking back a month ago, even if only one case was missed at the beginning, the seeds have now been sown across the country.

The symptoms of h1n1 are similar to influenza, and from now on, most of them have been misjudged.

If you really want to do a screening, you must first publish information about the new virus, then make every effort to produce rapid nucleic acid testing reagents, and distribute them to local CDC institutions across the country. Relying on local manpower and material resources, carpet-style searches.

Sipher knew very well that this was the most effective and basically the only way.

If you really act, the possibility of completion is almost 0.

The nationwide investigation is to pour money into the water, pour the whole box into the ground, and there is no sound or any effect. It is even more outrageous to announce the information about the new virus, and it is completely slapping himself. Not to mention that Red was unwilling, the leader just now was even more unwilling.

If we look at it from a scientific perspective, Siph would definitely make suggestions according to the idea just now. But science must have a country as its backer, no money or country, and medical care is just a shell.

He thanked the two people who came to report the message before, and informed him of the importance of confidentiality. He comforted Red after he left: "Brother, the symptoms of h1n1 are not serious, don't be too nervous."

Red sighed: "Do you think I will continue to siege the virus, or just let it go?"

"Continue to block, then the national CDC will have to be busy. The people are not fools, and there will be problems at first glance." Sifer suggested, "Obviously, Lehn's model was no longer available three months ago, and who will definitely not be reported. We must make plans for the next step."

"Next step?"

Sipher nodded: "New viruses appear, humans are generally susceptible to them, and they cannot be blocked, so how should we deal with them?"

Red was woken up by him: "I understand, vaccine..."

......

Just when the two learned about the rekindling of Enh1n1, Xu Jiakang from Statz was sitting in the emergency hall of the general hospital, waiting for the arrival of the local CDC.

Lehn and Statz are more than 70 kilometers apart, and the two places are divided into two counties. The new county government cdc is no longer useful, and the state cdc must be hired to manage it. According to the domestic speed and efficiency, according to the domestic speed and efficiency, someone must come at eight or nine in the morning.

But until now, Xu Jiakang has not even seen a call for inquiry, let alone the CDC specialist.

From his declaration of death to the present, he has only accepted some inquiries from Linsai, roughly just to improve the death record. Xu Jiakang does not have a US doctor license, but he is the one who rescues Daisy. The drugs and rescue items used are signed by the doctor who transferred to the hospital, so it is not illegal.

"I know it's not illegal, it's just..."

"Just what?" Linsai asked, writing the record.

"What will you do with Daisy's body?"

"Family members handle it themselves."

Handle it yourself?

Xu Jiakang began to look around again. The outpatient and emergency department of the Statz General Hospital is not low, and it is bustling with many patients who cough and sneeze. Is it really good to let the corpse be disposed of by themselves? Shouldn’t CDC have a way to deal with the corpse?

"What are you looking at?"

Linsai coughed twice, took a glass of water from the side and took a few sips, and said, "Young man is good. After taking the doctor's license, you should be able to become a good doctor."

After saying that, she got up and prepared to leave.

Xu Jiakang had no interaction with her, and he didn't expect to hear from an emergency doctor in a hospital, so he didn't care when Linse left. Just as he got up, Linse felt dizzy, and the legs and waist and back muscles that supported her body began to swell, so he didn't stand firm and hit the stretcher bed beside him.

"Are you okay..." Xu Jiakang almost instinctively helped him, and as soon as he got started, he noticed something was wrong, "Why are you so hot?"
