Come on, Dr. Wu

Hearing this, Wu Xiaofu's heart sank. He certainly understood the severity of the situation. Although the mortality rate after being infected with the Ebola virus is not 100%, it is still as high as more than 90%!

It is also important to point out that this worrying mortality rate of over 90% is not limited to our country F, but includes all relevant data statistics around the world.

In the previous prevention and control of the Ebola virus, the most successful country was none other than Country M.

Although the prognosis for these patients after treatment is often not ideal, at least at that time, their lives can be temporarily maintained.

If we think deeply about it, we will find that if China had not made great achievements in preventing and controlling the Ebola virus, this data of Country M would probably continue for decades or even hundreds of years, or even be maintained forever and difficult to surpass.

However, times have changed. Now, China has become the country that takes the lead in terms of the two key indicators of Ebola virus prevention and control success rate and cure rate.

It is for this reason that Galka showed such high enthusiasm. If he had not seen the dawn and hope of solving the problem from Wu Xiaofu and others, how could he have such a positive and proactive attitude?
For those who witness life and death over a long period of time, simply becoming numb is not the only possible outcome.

Especially for professionals like doctors, when faced with the situation of being unable to save a patient's life, they often feel more remorse and guilt, because in their eyes, every living life is extremely precious and cannot be easily given up.

Therefore, this self-blame turned into a source of motivation for continuous progress and excellence, driving them to study medical skills more diligently, just to ensure that every patient can walk out of the hospital gate in good health and safety.

Admittedly, not all people working in medical care have such strong and firm beliefs and determination, but it is undeniable that the vast majority of doctors always adhere to and practice the purest original intention when they chose to become a doctor.

Just like Wu Xiaofu, there is also Dean Galka in front of him. At this moment, when the two of them looked at each other, without much communication, Wu Xiaofu had already recognized the other party's status as a like-minded person in his heart.

"Please rest assured! Our goal in coming here this time is very clear - to gradually reduce this data representing misfortune until it disappears completely."

Ah!
Dean Galka was listening attentively to every word Wu Xiaofu said. Suddenly, his eyes widened as big as copper bells.

Ever since the data on China's prevention and control of the Ebola virus came out, he regarded Wu Xiaofu as the last ray of hope. That was why he was so anxious and grabbed Wu Xiaofu without hesitation and quickly pulled him into the hospital.

Then he couldn't wait to introduce Wu Xiaofu to the current situation of the hospital in detail.

Dean Galka did this for only one purpose, which was to let Wu Xiaofu clearly understand that they not only have advanced medical hardware facilities, but also have strong strength and competitiveness in software such as medical technology.

More importantly, the entire hospital was united and everyone worked together closely, willingly obeying Wu Xiaofu's command and deployment, and devoting all their efforts to the fight against the Ebola virus.

He is fully aware of the severity and urgency of the situation. He introduced so much in the hope that this method can make Wu Xiaofu truly realize the urgency of the current situation.

At the same time, I also hope that Wu Xiaofu can be fully prepared and work hard in the future, because this is not the motherland that Wu Xiaofu is familiar with, China, and the difficulties and challenges faced in carrying out prevention and control work here are much more numerous and difficult than in China.

"Director Wu, I have a very important data that needs to be reported to you in detail. This data is the real-time situation as of today. I believe you know that this is actually a hospital that specializes in responding to epidemics.

Here, not only Ebola patients are received, but also patients with various infectious diseases such as cholera and malaria. As for patients with other diseases, I will not go into too much detail here, the focus should still be on Ebola patients.

Just this morning, our hospital conducted a comprehensive statistics of the latest data. The results show that the number of patients hospitalized for Ebola virus infection has climbed to 62! Please note that this is only today's real-time data.

Then, I specially arranged for people to count the number of Ebola cases in the past month. After careful sorting and checking, the final number was as high as 167!
Without me telling you, you can probably guess what happened to the remaining 105 infected people, apart from the 62 patients currently receiving treatment, right?"

Yes, of course he knew. Wu Xiaofu knew very well what fate the remaining 105 patients would eventually face.

He thought to himself that perhaps 99% of them had already fallen asleep forever under this land. And this was only the data collected in the past month! What about before that?
Although this month was the peak of the sudden outbreak of the Ebola epidemic, the situation would not have been optimistic even if we look back in time.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofu couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. After all, there are so many lives being destroyed and devoured by the disease, even though they are not from his own country. But as a doctor, facing such a tragic ending of the patients, how could he remain indifferent?
At this time, Wu Xiaofu's eyes were fixed on the patients in the isolation area. They looked haggard and miserable. Under the ruthless torture of the disease, their bright eyes seemed to have lost their focus and looked empty. Even the last glimmer of hope was wiped out.

Wu Xiaofu is fully aware that he and his colleagues have a great mission to shoulder at this moment. They must not only go all out to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus, but also strive to bring a ray of warm sunshine to these Ebola patients in desperate situations - that is the light of hope.

Only by rekindling the patients' desire for life can we defeat this terrible epidemic.

After leaving the isolation area filled with a tense atmosphere, Wu Xiaofu took firm steps without hesitation and walked quickly towards the office area that Galka had just introduced in detail.

Galka silently watched Wu Xiaofu's figure gradually walking away, his eyes flashing with a faint but hopeful light.

Regardless of whether what Wu Xiaofu had said before was true or just words of comfort, Galka regarded it as a ray of light in the darkness - because Wu Xiaofu was the first person who dared to make a promise to him.

When Wu Xiaofu stepped into the spacious and bright office, he was immediately attracted by the piles of inpatient information on the table.

After careful review and analysis, he classified the Ebola virus. However, unlike the traditional way of distinguishing patients based on the stage of disease development, relying on the valuable experience accumulated from the successful prevention and control of the Ebola epidemic in the past, Wu Xiaofu pioneered a more detailed and accurate classification of patients according to the three lines of defense established by the human immune system.

It is not divided according to installments, but according to the three lines of defense.

Now that Wu Xiaofu has successful experience, he doesn't need to rush to adapt to local conditions. The most important thing is to control the conditions of these patients according to their conditions in these three lines of defense.

Especially those patients with mild symptoms who have just passed the incubation period need to be paid more attention. When Wu Xiaofu reviewed the medical records of these 62 patients one by one, he already had a clearer and more comprehensive grasp of the overall condition.

Among these more than 60 patients, as many as 31 people have just passed the incubation period of the disease and are in the mild stage, accounting for half of the total number.

This means that for these 31 patients with mild symptoms, the unique prevention and treatment strategy that Wu Xiaofu had painstakingly developed before can be fully utilized.

It has to be said that Galka is indeed outstanding in hospital management, especially in the implementation of crucial isolation measures, which is perfect.

Because of this, cross-infection within the hospital has been completely eliminated, creating a relatively safe and hygienic treatment environment for patients.

Therefore, even if the prevention and treatment strategies proposed by Wu Xiaofu may not be well adapted to the local conditions in this hospital, at most it will only slightly reduce the final treatment effect.

However, what is certain is that the benefits of this strategy for these patients are absolutely unquestionable and cannot be ignored.

In addition to the 32 mild patients mentioned earlier, the conditions of the remaining 31 patients are worrying.

Most of them have already shown quite serious symptoms. What is more noteworthy is that the disease progression of four patients is extremely rapid, and their situation is very similar to Meng Luanying.

After the previous prevention and control work for the Ebola virus came to an end, Wu Xiaofu immediately devoted himself to in-depth research and analysis of Meng Luanying's condition.

After much hard work, he finally came to an important conclusion. It turns out that the Ebola virus is not always the same and unchanged. It has been a long time since the first case of Ebola virus was discovered.

During this period, it has invaded countless innocent lives and caused countless cases. Faced with such a severe epidemic situation, humans will naturally not sit idly by, but actively develop various treatment methods.

As a result, a large number of drugs have been flooding into the Ebola virus in an attempt to eliminate it in one fell swoop.

This is undoubtedly a thrilling war! In this battle without the smoke of gunpowder, although countless drugs have been launched one after another to attack the Ebola virus, it still survives tenaciously.

This means that, at least at this stage, the Ebola virus has successfully resisted the fierce attack of humans and achieved a phased victory.

As the saying goes, "War can temper a person's will and ability." However, unexpectedly, the same is true for the Ebola virus.

In this fierce war with humans, it has long since shed its initial immaturity and tenderness, gradually matured, and bred many variants. These variants, like biological evolution, have shown a stronger tolerance to various drugs used by humans.

Even Wu Xiaofu couldn't help but feel suspicious. Some Ebola variants now seemed to have regarded these drugs as nutrients needed for their own growth, and were constantly evolving with the help of them.

Once someone is unfortunately infected with these variants, the symptoms will be like Meng Luanying's. The body will mutate rapidly, and the speed of evolution is beyond imagination.

Faced with such a situation, the symptomatic treatment methods of traditional Western medicine appear pale and powerless. Not only can they not curb the deterioration of the disease, but they may accelerate the development of the disease.

Even the Chinese medicine prescriptions carefully prepared by Wu Xiaofu and others were far less effective than expected. The second line of defense was easily breached before, which was the most obvious example.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wu Xiaofu conceived and implemented the third line of defense. Even more fortunately, this strategy eventually achieved remarkable results and successfully prevented the further spread of the epidemic. Otherwise, Meng Luanying would have been in a desperate situation and her life would have been in danger.

The symptoms of the four case records that Wu Xiaofu is holding in his hands are obviously of the same type as the virus that Meng Luanying was infected with.

You know, Meng Luanying was infected with the extremely dangerous Ebola super virus! The reason why this virus is so powerful is that there were many similar cases at that time that affected each other.

Judging from the conditions of these four current cases, the situation is probably not much different from those in previous cases, or even worse.

After all, Meng Luanying was discovered in the early stages of the disease, so Wu Xiaofu and his team had more time to respond and could take a series of measures to curb the spread and worsening of the virus.

However, facing these four new cases, Wu Xiaofu's heart was filled with anxiety and worry. It was really difficult for him to predict the future development trend, and he had no idea whether he could successfully cure these patients.

Not only that, in addition to these four worrying cases, the conditions of seven other patients are even more grim.

Their conditions have progressed to an advanced stage similar to Huang Xiaojiang's. Their body functions are severely damaged and they can only rely on various advanced medical equipment and powerful drugs to barely maintain their lives.

At this moment, even Wu Xiaofu did not dare to have the slightest hope for the recovery prospects of these seven patients.

As for the remaining twenty patients, they were basically in a tepid state. The conditions of these patients were not particularly serious, but they were definitely not easy either.

Therefore, for Wu Xiaofu, the most important thing in this treatment is how to properly deal with these 20 patients. He needs to do his best to control the condition of the 31 patients who have been diagnosed with mild symptoms, and strive to make them recover as soon as possible.

At the same time, for the 20 patients whose conditions still have a certain hope of being controlled, active and effective measures must be taken to keep them firmly outside the second line of defense, and never allow the disease to have any chance to further erode their health.

Only by taking a two-pronged approach like this can we win this arduous battle against the disease. (End of this chapter)
