692. Doubt(1/2)
(1000 less, go to bed after making up for it)
Ella had just experienced a miscarriage, and the hormone levels fluctuated violently in her body were like a pot of hot soup, and there was danger of boiling at any time. The news of Monica's death brought by Qi Jing became an iron spoon, stirring the pot of hot soup to peace.
After losing a loved one, Ella cried so hard that she was heartbroken.
Monica has a good relationship with her. She is nominally mother and daughter, but she is more in love with sisters. The two are not very different at age, and Morton is so busy. When she encounters troubles, Monica also prefers to communicate with Ella.
Monica has been smoking sucking sensation since college, Morton knows, and Ella knows it too.
After graduation, although she said she could quit and could not see any problems at all, Ella knew that this girl must have something to hide from her. After she lived apart a few years ago, the relationship between them was much less.
When children leave far away, their relationship becomes weaker.
Ella has been trying to find a way to get Monica back to North Carolina to live with her. She came here last month and was the first invitation she asked for, because she was pregnant.
"At that time, I wanted to talk to her, and she kept stammering. I thought she was still sucking big, da numb..." Ella sobbed and tears flowed, "I didn't expect it to be, it was not, da numb. Why, how could she touch Bing, Bing...?"
Qi Jing handed over a few tissues, but didn't know how to comfort him.
He also saw too many people who took in emergency departments in China. This kind of person deserves sympathy because the symptoms of withdrawal are worse than death, but it is difficult for them to sympathize with each product. Behind each product are the living lives of drug-killing police officers and broken families.
He could only sit beside Ella and listen to her crying about the past.
It was not until Morton went upstairs that the two hugged each other and cried again. It took them a long time to slowly recover from their calmness.
"Thank you so much for your help..." Morton's eyes turned red, and he didn't care about the smell of sweat on Qi Jing's body. He turned around and hugged him, "Thank you so much, thank you so much..."
After everyone calmed down, Qi Jing realized that he was actually thanking for the money from the two emergency planes.
The helicopter took off from the emergency center and the round trip was about 15,000 yuan. If the insurance company could pay 3,000 yuan, Morton needed to pay 12,000 yuan per aircraft, totaling nearly 25,000 yuan.
"Everyone is old friends, this little money is nothing," Qi Jing explained. "The money I can raise is about 15,000 to 18,000, and the rest is still something you need to pay for yourself."
"I have helped a lot, and I can still take advantage of the knife for a few thousand meters."
After all, Morton had touched the threshold of the middle class and his savings were still a little surplus. What he cared more about now was Qi Jing's fundraising target. He could wave his hand and spend more than 10,000 for a stranger, which was simply a living God.
"This starts with a topic I've studied."
Qi Jing roughly explained his origin, and at the same time blurred his immediate boss, and his words were even more true and false: "I have been searching for the source of a brand new virus. Because it was a swine flu mutant, I want to come to you to visit."
"So that's how it is."
"The money is given by the leader. Anyway, he has a lot of money, so it doesn't matter." Qi Jing smiled slightly, "There is an old saying in China that meeting is fate. In your words, meeting a a kind of fate.”
“fate…”
Morton couldn't help but hug Qi Jing again, and his gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you, thank you."
People still need some stories to make friends and become friends. Even if the two parties have different ideas, different nationalities, and different life goals, even Qi Jing took half of them from those 30,000 miles, it did not affect this friendship.
But the two of them had no impression of whether they had viral infections before. Ella's symptoms were very mild and mixed with the early pregnancy reaction. No one cared about it. Seeing that the line was not successful, Qi Jing changed the other direction: "I want to ask, when did that Professor Steve come to you?"
"Steve?" Morton recalled for a while and said, "About two months ago, what's wrong?"
"Two months..." Qi Jing frowned, still feeling unwilling to give up, "Didn't you know each other before?"
"I don't know, we signed with State University with Zelin and Kajer at the beginning," Morton explained. "This Steve was introduced by Dr. Zelin before. I didn't care at first, but after reading his article, he promised him to do some experiments, and he would also help me with some random inspections and quarantine."
The talent came to the pig farm for two months, and the time was inconsistent with the h1n1 that appeared more than three months ago.
The search for the source seems to have reached a dead end again.
"Then let's do it first." Qi Jing was about to say goodbye to the two, "The doctor should come to do an immunologic test for the two later to check if there is any latest virus antibodies."
"The latest virus? Is it the one you tracked down before?"
h1n1 The United States only appeared in the news last night, and it is understandable that Morton Ella doesn't know.
Qi Jing nodded, and at the same time, he turned on the TV and looked for the US Public TV Station (PBS). He wanted to find a TV station without political tendencies in the United States, but it seemed that it was the only one. It happened to be broadcasting a morning press conference, and the content was mainly concentrated on h1n1.
Of course, there is no official name yet, and the words swine flu, new flu, etc. are still used on TV.
- "...... First of all, Director Siphe and I want to clarify that the latest virus cannot be called swine flu virus in general. Although some of its genetic fragments come from swine flu, it is not transmitted by swine, so it is not correct to call swine flu."
- "Can this be sure?"
-"Can certain."
- "Did you say that just to avoid affecting the price of pork?"
- "No, no, you misunderstood because I don't clarify that the word swine flu will mislead the public and lead to a sharp drop in pork prices. This sharp drop is abnormal. I need to explain from a scientific perspective that eating pork will not be infected with new viruses. Please rest assured."
When the reporters heard this, they made records, and the next question was thrown out soon.
- "How should we understand the suspected cases in the number of cases?"
-"It's just that there are similar symptoms, but there is no diagnosis."
- "Not confirmed? Is it still unsure?"
- "Oh, let Director Siphe explain such professional matters."
After the microphone was handed over, Sipher stood in front of the podium, coughed twice and said: "Our current technology can be confirmed, and only our technology in the world can achieve this speed. However, the amount of examination reagents required for the confirmation clinic is limited..."
- "Is that..."
Sipher immediately realized that his words were interrupted and pointed his hand at the audience: "Please let me finish my words."
-"Excuse me."
- "The reagents are already in mass production, and I believe they will be sent to the laboratory departments of hospitals across the country soon. At that time, the diagnosis of new viruses will be as easy as eating."
- "I think Director Siphe, you should give this new virus personality, or compare it. For example, how is it compared to the sars in 2003 and the avian flu in 2005?"
- "The new virus is just a flu-like virus. The disease is not serious and the severe disease rate is not high. Judging from the symptom report of confirmed cases yesterday, everyone feels that it is pretty good. There is no need to make a fuss, it is just a virus similar to the flu."
There is no problem with the content here, but when asked the next question, Sipher obviously made some unnecessary small moves.
In the eyes of reporters, this may be an anxiety caused by the difficult problem. But in Qi Jing, it is a complete lie.
- "Since the virus is not strong, do the people still need to take some extra protective measures?"
- "...In this regard, I think...I personally think that for the smooth work of everyone and the efficiency of life, it is better to do some basic protection. For example, wearing masks, maintaining social distance, etc...."
- "But you just said this is just a new flu."
-"It's a new flu, indeed."
- "We don't need a mask to deal with the flu. It's so weird to wear this thing on our face when we're not sick."
- "This...I didn't mandate to wear a mask."
- "That is to say, we can completely ignore protection. Is that how do we understand?"
- "If you don't take protection, you may get sick."
- "But that's just a symptom of common flu, so it's no big deal to get sick, right?"
Sipher hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Obviously, the content of this press conference was contrary to science and deliberately avoided the harm of high-risk people and severe pneumonia. But this was the situation in the previous life, so Qi Jing didn't find it too strange.
Just in
Qi Jing said goodbye to the two of them, and found a good cafe outside the hospital, and was alone.
In fact, Steve's mistaken h1n1 and Ella's infection of h1n1 are just Qi Jing's assumptions, although both of these assumptions have the basis of assumptions.
Steve is an expert in swine flu. His article lacks experimental subjects. If there is no special pig farm to do experiments for him, then that is
The situation at the prenatal examination clinic where Ella is located appears bizarrely.

"At that time, I wanted to talk to her, and she kept stammering. I thought she was still sucking big, da numb..." Ella sobbed and tears flowed, "I didn't expect it to be, it was not, da numb. Why, how could she touch Bing, Bing...?"
