Come on, Dr. Wu

Chapter 472 ends! Return home?
At this moment, Wu Xiaofu looked at the large number of patients crowded in front of him and couldn't help feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Especially when he learned that there would be a steady stream of patients coming in, this feeling became stronger and even gave him a splitting headache. Faced with such a large group of patients, Wu Xiaofu suddenly lost his previous firm confidence in the three lines of defense he had carefully constructed.

Putting aside other issues, it is still unknown whether this first line of defense can withstand such a huge pressure. You know, with so many patients gathered together, various viruses intertwined and affected each other, who can guarantee that some extremely terrifying super virus will not be born?

What's more, many of these patients have been ill for a long time and their conditions are complicated and serious, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty and risk of treatment.

Country F is also well aware of the severe situation it is facing. According to the ideas of the other two countries, given that Country F has relatively mature experience and technical means to prevent and control the Ebola virus, can they consider sending all their patients to Country F, which will then assist in the prevention, control and treatment of the disease.

However, although such a proposal seems reasonable, there are actually many problems that need to be deeply considered and properly resolved.

There is no doubt that they will do their best to provide resources. It is impossible for them to help you for nothing!
However, when Country F heard this, they could not help but roll their eyes and think to themselves: Do they really think we care about those so-called resources? With so many Ebola patients pouring in like a tide, how can Country F bear such heavy pressure?

Even though Wu Xiaofu is full of confidence in himself, Country F really doesn't dare to let these patients enter the country easily!
You know, once the epidemic gets out of control, Country F will probably face the most severe test and may even be on the brink of national destruction.

After all, the number of patients in the country has already made them feel overwhelmed and helpless, and they have no idea how to properly accommodate and transfer them. At this moment, they can only sigh that the two countries have made a brilliant plan.

What's worse is that even Wu Xiaofu himself lacks sufficient confidence. Under such circumstances, Country F will naturally be even more reluctant to rashly accept the suggestions made by these two countries.

But then again, professional matters must be handled by professionals. Therefore, after careful consideration, Country F decided to seek Wu Xiaofu's opinion first.

After all, this matter concerns the country's diplomatic image and interests. It would be great if expert Wu Xiaofu could clearly state that patients should not be allowed to enter the country.

To this end, they racked their brains and tried every possible way to convey various hints to Wu Xiaofu, either overtly or covertly. These hints were either obscure or direct, but all revolved around one core point - to let Wu Xiaofu know that he should choose nearby treatment rather than long-distance transportation.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaofu seemed to understand what he meant, and said very straightforwardly that it would be more appropriate to receive treatment nearby and that long-distance transportation was not suitable.

However, it should be emphasized that he made such a decision not only because of those overt and covert hints, but more because of the conclusion he came to after careful consideration from a scientific perspective.

After all, long-distance transportation is undoubtedly a great risk for patients with infectious diseases. Whether it is the dreaded Ebola virus or other types of infectious diseases, according to conventional medical principles, they will basically be isolated and treated locally.

Just imagine, if we force ourselves to transport the disease over such a long distance, and if something unexpected happens during the journey, such as the spread of the disease, the consequences would be disastrous!
This will not only pose a serious threat to the patient's own health, but is also likely to trigger a large-scale public health crisis, which completely violates the basic principles of infectious disease prevention and control.

It was precisely because of Wu Xiaofu's wise words that Country F was naturally overjoyed, and the other two countries no longer raised any objections upon seeing this, and the matter was thus smoothly resolved.

However, if this work is to proceed smoothly, strong technical support is essential.

What's even more exaggerated is that some people actually hope that Wu Xiaofu will go there in person to provide support, but Country F firmly disagrees! After all, there is always a first come first served order. Even if someone really wants to be sent to help, it would be reasonable to first completely eliminate the virus that is rampant in Country F.

After many practical tests in Country F, the three lines of defense originally established have become increasingly perfect and mature. Compared with the initial implementation in China, its reliability and stability have been significantly improved and have withstood more severe tests.

Wu Xiaofu firmly believes that this three-line defense mechanism that works well in Country F is also applicable to the other two countries.

However, the current situation is not optimistic. With so many patients, it is difficult to resist the fierce attack of the virus by relying solely on the existing three lines of defense. Therefore, Wu Xiaofu had to consider further strengthening the strength of the defense line and continue to move upward.

At present, the three countries are simultaneously facing the crisis of a large-scale virus outbreak, which instantly attracted the attention of the world.

People in China are all worried about Wu Xiaofu's safety, while people in other parts of the world are closely watching this expert who has repeatedly performed miracles, wondering whether he can still deliver a satisfactory answer in the face of such daunting challenges.

Wu Xiaofu was not completely sure that he could give a more perfect answer, but he secretly made up his mind to go all out and strive to do his best. At this moment, three solid lines of defense were being deployed intensively in the three countries.

Among them, the scale of the first line of defense is staggering. It almost covers the entire territory of the three countries. Its wide distribution is like a tight net, and it is just like a vaccine injected into people, trying to resist the aggressive Ebola virus.

At this moment, the residents of the three countries are all shrouded in the shadow of terror brought by the Ebola virus. Everyone is trembling with fear, fearing that they will become the next unfortunate person among the huge number of infected people.

When they learned that the seemingly inconspicuous little pill actually had the effect of inhibiting the virus, everyone expressed their willingness to use the drug without hesitation.

As for the three governments, they certainly do not want to see the number of Ebola patients in their countries continue to increase, so they have given full support and cooperation to the use of pills by the people.

In this way, with the concerted efforts of all parties, the first line of defense was quickly deployed in the three countries at an astonishing speed. When Wu Xiaofu learned the news, he felt relieved.

Regardless of other factors, as long as the first line of defense he carefully constructed is strong enough to withstand the fierce impact of the virus, it can at least ensure that no new patients will emerge.

In this way, the already heavy burden on everyone's shoulders will not continue to increase, and this arduous battle against the epidemic may be able to usher in a turning point.

The next most critical issue is how to deal with the current batch of patients. After an intense and orderly deployment, the second line of defense has been deployed in all directions. All related work is progressing step by step without any confusion.

What is remarkable is that this operation was carried out jointly by three countries and worked in coordination. For a time, the situation seemed to be under effective control, as if the aggressive Ebola virus, like the patients in the suburban hospital before, had been firmly contained.

Just one month after the outbreak of the virus, these three countries unexpectedly gradually relaxed their vigilance.

The reason is that, judging from the current situation, this virus seems far less terrifying and frightening than when it first broke out. The power it has shown is simply incomparable to what it was before.

Because of this, the three governments attach even greater importance to Wu Xiaofu, an expert who has made outstanding contributions in the fight against the epidemic, and protect him like a rare treasure.

As long as Wu Xiaofu made a request or suggestion, he would basically agree and support it without hesitation. It can be said that he would respond to every request.

However, Wu Xiaofu himself is not as blindly optimistic as others, because only by personally engaging in the actual prevention and control work can one deeply understand that although countries have stepped up their efforts in prevention and control measures and invested more resources, the final results are far below expectations.

It seemed as if the whole world was caught in a terrible disaster, and countless people were struggling to survive like drowning people.

When the only lifeline was lowered, everyone held on to it tightly, eager to be rescued.

However, the rope's bearing capacity is limited after all. Without the intervention of more powerful forces, there are still countless unknown dangers hidden in the vast ocean. No one can predict when this fragile rope will suddenly break.

Wu Xiaofu anxiously devoted himself to in-depth research on the fourth line of defense, but the difficulty of this task was beyond imagination.

Time passed quickly, and a month of hard work passed. Just when people were full of hope, sad news came - the first death case appeared!

Then, like dominoes, the second and third deaths followed. When Wu Xiaofu learned the bad news, his face turned ugly, "The rope...finally broke..."

It’s not just the deaths that make people feel fear and despair, something worse has happened - infected cases have reappeared!
This time it is no longer limited to ordinary people, even medical staff have been infected. Although it was not country F that first discovered the medical staff infection case, the epidemic situation in the other two neighboring countries is so serious, how can country F be immune?

It is foreseeable that country F will not be able to hold out for too long. Because as soon as an infection case appears, it means that the first line of defense carefully built by Wu Xiaofu has been lost.

However, when the first line of defense was ruthlessly breached, everyone couldn't help but feel deeply worried: the emergence of a second case of infection might be imminent!
Sure enough, the next morning, the heart-wrenching news came: a second case of infection had appeared! Faced with such a severe situation, Wu Xiaofu and his team had no choice but to resort to traditional but practical methods to deal with it.

In response to these successive cases of infection, Wu Xiaofu and others immediately launched intensive and orderly diagnosis and treatment work.

After careful observation and in-depth analysis, they were surprised to find that this outbreak was significantly different from the previous ones, and the condition was more dangerous and complicated, and the severity was far beyond imagination. It is far from enough to just cure the existing infected cases, which is only the first step to solve the problem.

In order to completely curb the spread of the epidemic, Wu Xiaofu and his team knew that they must start from the root causes, conduct in-depth research on the patterns hidden behind these infection cases, and on this basis explore and innovate a new and effective prevention and control strategy.

Fortunately, after experiencing many similar crises, they have accumulated considerable experience in dealing with such difficult issues.

Hard work pays off, and before long, a new treatment plan finally came into being. This treatment plan is like a sharp sword, piercing the vital points of the virus, and can accurately strike these infected cases and carry out highly targeted treatment.

At the same time, the first line of defense, which originally had loopholes, has been comprehensively optimized and upgraded, and the protection range has been further expanded to achieve full coverage.

As various measures are being implemented in an orderly manner, the results are gradually showing. Fortunately, the rate of new infections has slowed down significantly, which undoubtedly brings a ray of hope to everyone and allows everyone to see that the dawn of victory over this epidemic is shining ahead.

It turns out that an unprecedented super virus suddenly swept in, bringing great panic and threats to people.

Fortunately, however, researchers have been able to study this super virus at a very fast speed. This is certainly inseparable from their own professional capabilities, but it must also be attributed to the large amount of basic work done in the early stages.

As for how to curb the rising number of deaths, that is the top priority. To this end, the team headed by Wu Xiaofu took on the important task of building the fourth line of defense.

After a month of unremitting efforts and research day and night, they finally obtained some important clues and breakthroughs and saw the dawn of solving the problem.

Disease prevention and control has always been constantly adjusting strategies as the disease progresses. Now that we have a clear grasp of key information such as the characteristics and transmission patterns of this super virus, new and more targeted prevention and control plans can be smoothly formulated and implemented.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. That’s right, this thrilling battle against the virus lasted for a full six months!
Just one month ago, the encouraging news came - the number of deaths finally stopped, and the conditions of those suffering from Ebola began to stabilize. At the same time, the number of new cases of infection was successfully controlled and no longer increased.

As a result, the current overall situation seems to have returned to the good situation when Wu Xiaofu first participated in the prevention and control of the Ebola virus.

When the problem arose, everyone worked together to solve it. However, when the task was finally completed successfully, Wu Xiaofu did not feel particularly happy.

The reason is simple. Although he successfully dealt with the crisis this time, he is still full of worries about the uncertainty of the future.

After all, no one can guarantee whether there will be another virus outbreak that is much more severe than this one. And by then, will the four lines of defense currently built be able to withstand such tremendous pressure?
You know, preventive medicine has always played a vital role in the long-term fight against infectious diseases.

If the source of infection and the transmission route cannot be fundamentally resolved, it will be difficult to completely eliminate a virus as terrible as Ebola. Unfortunately, these problems involving macroeconomic policies and national strategies are not something that Wu Xiaofu and his team can easily solve.

Before they knew it, nine months had passed. It had been such a long time since Wu Xiaofu and the others came to Country F!
According to the original plan, they should have successfully completed the exchange activity in just three months and then happily embarked on the road back home. However, the reality was far beyond their expectations and they had to stay in a foreign country for a full six months.

"What? You're going back to your country? How is that possible?"

In the suburban hospital, Galka looked at Wu Xiaofu in front of him with astonishment, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave. Since Wu Xiaofu came here, Galka has spent an extremely happy time.

Before this, Galka was under great pressure and had hardly ever had a good night's sleep. As the director of a suburban hospital responsible for the prevention and treatment of the Ebola virus, he knew the horror of the virus and had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

As long as the Ebola virus is not completely eradicated, he will never be at peace. The long-term anxiety and worry have caused him to suffer from severe insomnia. This problem has long been like a shadow and is deeply rooted.

However, when Wu Xiaofu showed up, everything began to change. Galka seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, and the fire of hope was rekindled in his heart.

And Wu Xiaofu did not disappoint him. Not only did he successfully cure the Ebola patients in the hospital and enable them to recover and be discharged smoothly, he also performed with ease in the face of such a large-scale virus outbreak, and ultimately resolved the crisis invisibly.

Unconsciously, Galka developed a deep dependence on Wu Xiaofu. As long as Wu Xiaofu and his team were around, Galka felt particularly at ease, as if all difficulties would be easily solved.

But now, when he suddenly heard the news that Wu Xiaofu was about to leave, Galka felt that he was instantly filled with panic. He could not imagine how he would cope with the battle against the epidemic in the future if he lost such a capable partner as Wu Xiaofu.
