I really don't want to be a doctor

Chapter 223 "Voluntary" Action

Lin Yitian was taken aback, "Xiao Ran, you know?"

Jing Xiaoran smiled wryly, how could he not know!
That's Ebola virus!In the previous life, he was known as the god of death!

Ebola is a very rare virus that causes hemorrhagic fever, the deadliest hemorrhagic fever in the world.

The biosafety level of Ebola virus is level 4 (level 3 for AIDS and level 3 for SARS).

It is no exaggeration to say that the Ebola virus is death by contact!
Back to the origin of Ebola, after scientists discovered the existence of Ebola virus in the Ebola River area in southern Sudan and Congo in 1976, it aroused widespread concern and attention from the medical community, and "Ebola" was named after it .

Worldwide, Ebola has had several pandemics, including one in Sudan in 1976 and 1979.

After these two "violences", the "Ebola" virus mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

The most recent Ebola epidemic was in 1994. At that time, the Ebola virus reappeared, and Gabon, Congo and other countries successively experienced epidemics. Tens of thousands of people lost their lives, and then the virus quietly disappeared.

During this period, the world has no way to deal with the Ebola virus, and people are helpless against it.

The reason why Jing Xiaoran was not very sensitive to this Ebola virus was because the virus had not spread to China in his previous life.

He also only heard about it in the news and knew the horror of this disease, but he had no real contact with it.

In this life, the Ebola virus arrived as promised.

This makes Jing Xiaoran can't help thinking of Fancheng a few years later, will it come according to the process of history?

Putting this kind of thinking behind for a while, "Mr. Lin, the Ebola virus in Africa has nothing to do with our laboratory, right?" Jing Xiaoran said.

Lin Yitian sighed and said: "If it was placed before, the public health incident caused by Ebola really has nothing to do with our experiment."

"After all, our Shenzhou Laboratory has only been established for less than two months, and there are many shortcomings in scientific research and management. It is still a private enterprise."

"But..." Lin Yitian paused, looked up at Jing Xiaoran.

Jing Xiaoran was a little puzzled: "But what?"

"But because of some of your previous actions in the academic circle, Xiao Ran, such as the two crackdowns on counterfeiting, and the independent research and development of new oral anticoagulant drugs, Shenzhou Laboratory is not an ordinary laboratory." Lin Yitian said, "In medicine In the academic circle, Shenzhou Laboratory already has its own place!"

"Perhaps in the world, the Shenzhou Laboratory is not yet ranked; but in China, the Shenzhou Laboratory has been able to rank among the first-class domestic levels in terms of scientific research level and hardware facilities."

Jing Xiaoran frowned, he had heard the meaning of Lin Yitian's words.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean, our Shenzhou laboratory may be involved in this Ebola virus incident?"

Lin Yitian was silent for a while, and said: "Every time we encounter such an international emergency, Huaxia will do humanitarian rescue. This time the Ebola virus incident is no exception. The main work of the rescue team is to provide medical treatment to the affected countries. In order to provide relief, another arduous task is to conduct research on detection methods for Ebola hemorrhagic fever."

"In China, there are such research qualifications, except for a few university laboratories in Kyoto, and laboratories in other places do not even have corresponding research equipment."

In recent years, although the level of scientific research in China has improved, there are still many gaps compared with developed countries in the world. Especially in the field of virology, the United States has always occupied an absolute lead.

Lin Yitian continued: "The Chinese government has sent a vanguard team to West Africa. The vanguard team mainly consists of two parts. One part is the clinicians of the Department of Infectious Diseases to provide front-line support, and the other part is the scientific research personnel responsible for the research of Ebola virus, including research on assays and vaccines."

Jing Xiaoran nodded. It seems that the emergency meeting at the Central Hospital this morning was probably related to this.

"In the early hours of this morning, the administrative personnel of the health department of Fancheng City communicated with me and sent me a document, mainly talking about the Ebola virus." Lin Yitian stood up, walked to the desk and picked up a stack of documents, "Xiao Ran, you have a look."

Jing Xiaoran took the documents. This stack of documents was very thick, with about 20 pages.

"Petition?" There was a line of very eye-catching words on the title page of the document, Jing Xiaoran couldn't help being taken aback.

Lin Yitian nodded slightly: "In addition to sending scientific researchers from public universities, the government has also vigorously mobilized scientific researchers from domestic top private enterprise laboratories to participate, but these are all voluntary. Private companies who want to participate can submit applications and have a week to consider. time."

It is voluntary, but the word "voluntary" is quite particular.

First of all, not all private enterprise laboratories will receive this document, and the laboratories that can receive it must be ranked in the country; secondly, in the face of such a major public health event, the government personally invited them Whether you accept or reject, it will be recorded in the end.

If this "voluntary" rescue operation is accepted and successfully completed, it will definitely clear many obstacles for the road ahead of the laboratory.

Obtaining this kind of international humanitarian aid medal occupies the commanding heights of public opinion in China, and many policies and resources of the government will also be tilted towards it.

If you refuse this "voluntary" action, although you won't lose anything on the surface, you will definitely be recorded in the booklet you carry with you by the leader, and you may not be allowed to wear small shoes someday.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" Jing Xiaoran asked while flipping through the documents in his hand.He read in the document that each laboratory can register up to two people.

Lin Yitian stood up from the sofa, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ran, I know about the Ebola virus, and I know how terrible it is. So this incident is unusual, and our laboratory is just a few years ago in the world. Influence is not necessary to participate in this rescue operation in West Africa."

"The most important thing is that no one in the laboratory is willing to go."

Most of the labs are experimental dogs. Except for Zhu Xianqing who is qualified, the others probably do not have this ability. Even if they go, they will be nothing but cannon fodder.

Jing Xiaoran didn't speak for a while, he continued to flip through the documents in his hand.

half an hour.

Only then did he stop what he was doing, looked up at Lin Yitian and said, "Mr. Lin, if you participate in this rescue operation, what is the procedure? How many days will it take?"

Lin Yitian still didn't quite understand what Jing Xiaoran meant, and then said: "It will take about half a month, and there will be a next round of scientific research personnel rotation in half a month."

Jing Xiaoran nodded, holding this heavy document in his hand, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

In his previous life, he was a witness to history.

And in this life, he will be a participant in history.

Only at this time did Lin Yitian come to his senses: "Xiao, Xiao Ran, you...you don't think you want to go, do you?"
