"The plague is still spreading rapidly, and the local area has fallen into panic and chaos. I hope everyone can work together to help these patients escape their suffering." Haman continued.
Next to him, Barnette kept crossing himself on his chest with his hands, his face full of pain. At this moment, as the leader of a country, there was obviously no better way besides asking God for blessings.
.
Of course, this is also the reason why he is willing to use national resources in exchange...
When Putina translated this, her voice was choked with sobs, her big eyes were filled with tears, she was clutching the corners of her clothes tightly, and her arms were constantly shaking, showing her inner fear and uneasiness.
She had long heard about the horror of the plague, but she had not actually seen how the disease worsened, because once infected with the plague, the patient would be kicked out of the house and quickly taken away for treatment by the local health and medical organization.
In addition, the local area was very backward and the communication media was not developed, so she only knew that the patients were receiving treatment, but this was the first time she saw them being tortured by the disease.
There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was immersed in the scene just now. Although they felt sorry for these patients, there was no solution for the moment...
At this time, a crisp voice broke the silence, and the blond girl stood up, looked around, and then said something to Haman.
"What did she say?" It was undeniable that Zhang Yang was very concerned about what this beauty said.
Then I thought that when a beautiful woman saw such a bloody and miserable scene, she would definitely be very pitiful and excited. She would stand up and say a few sensational words or express her determination to defeat the plague and encourage doctors from all over the world.
"She is introducing herself as Catherine, a doctor from the United States..." Antina started to translate.
"Catherine?" He Shuqing asked in surprise.
His surprised inquiry made Zhang Yang even more curious. It was obvious that the blond beauty in front of him was also someone with a good background.
"I never thought she was Catherine!"
"Yeah, I just heard that there are two talented women at Harvard University in the United States. Catherine is one of them. She has a high talent for virus infections. During her college days, she participated in the controversial Ethiopian mission.
The development of the vaccine for the changed KMS virus was based on her opinions and was successful."
"Alas! The American education system does have its advantages..."
…
An Xuguang and Tang Weiqiu also heard Putina's words. Obviously, as Western doctors, they knew more about foreign medical skills and experts, and they all said in surprise.
Of course, they are also surprised by the education in the United States. A college student can become a famous expert in the world, while Chinese college students...
It's no wonder that in China, from primary school students to college entrance exams, they study every day with their heads hung up and forgetting food and sleep, but that knowledge is just for preparing for the college entrance examination.
After being admitted to college, it seems that they have achieved their life goal, completely relaxed, and completely freed themselves. Who will pay attention to their studies? But they don't know that college is the beginning of real learning of professional knowledge...
In the United States, it is just the opposite. From elementary school to high school, academic studies are very relaxed. After college, it is the really tense stage. It is said that the lights in their university library are not turned off all night long...
"Yes, there are two talented women in the Department of Medicine at Harvard University in the United States. One is her, and the other is Su Jin'er, who is Chinese and Korean."
As the director of the Ministry of Health, Wang Zhaokui naturally knew more about these things. After a pause, he continued: "It's just that it is said that Su Jin'er has dropped out of school and was kidnapped by the police after her last trip to China. Although she was successfully rescued, it hit her hard. That incident
There was no news about her after that, and according to an interview with her in Korean media, she said she would never return to the profession of doctor."
"Alas! How could this happen? What a great loss to the medical community."
"Yes, she once performed an operation to remove a tumor on a baby, and no one else has dared to try it yet."
…
Several people shook their heads in regret, and even forgot that Catherine was speaking in front of them.
When Zhang Yang heard about Su Jin'er, his heart trembled, and inexplicable sadness arose spontaneously.
He didn't know if Su Jin'er's departure from the medical profession had anything to do with him, but he clearly understood that a person surrounded by bodyguards every day must be mentally prepared for any danger, and would not let her make such a decision just for a hijacking.
He could never forget this girl who spoke so loudly to him that he wanted to give up her life. He also asked himself if he had to choose again, would he choose her?
Zhang Yang knew that she was looking for an excuse for herself to stay and continue the relationship, or to give him a chance, or to say that she was seeking some comfort for her psychological imbalance...
But what about yourself?
She was completely disappointed and left without any regrets...
And she also became a lifelong regret in her heart...
When Zhang Yang was still immersed in these sad memories, he suddenly heard Putina's voice suddenly rising. He stood up on the stool, his pretty face full of excitement, pointed at Catherine opposite and said something loudly.
The eyes in the conference room immediately focused here...
"Sit down quickly and tell her what you have to say." Zhang Yang took Putina's arm and comforted her.
He thought to himself that in this public place, a girl should be more ladylike no matter what she said. Although he couldn't understand what she said, he could tell from the excitement on her face that what she said was not good.
What's more, the anger and dissatisfaction on Catherine's pretty face opposite him, as well as Haman's hurried explanation with his hand, all verified his idea.
"She is simply inhuman..." Botina said angrily after sitting down.
"What on earth did she say?"
Zhang Yang glanced around and saw that various delegations were also talking. Some nodded helplessly, while others said something excitedly. It was obvious that Catherine's words had caused a lot of controversy.
He began to regret that he had not learned some foreign languages, otherwise he would have known what such a beautiful woman was saying, and would not have been as anxious as he is now...
"Alas, she said that the plague-infected cities should be completely quarantined, the United Nations peacekeepers and medical aid personnel there should be withdrawn, all major transportation arteries should be blocked, and the army should be sent to strengthen patrols around the city to prevent anyone from entering or leaving these cities. If found, they would be killed immediately.
.”
Wang Zhaokui can sit in the position of director of the Ministry of Health. He has a much broader education and knowledge, so he is naturally very proficient in foreign languages.
Seeing the excited face of Pulina, I was afraid that she would impulsively say something extreme again, so I translated and explained.
"Isn't this tantamount to giving up on those people?"
"Yes, even medical aid organizations have evacuated and the city has been sealed off. It is too unfair to the uninfected people inside."
"Yes, this is equivalent to leaving them waiting for death. As a medical student, how can I say such words that violate medical ethics?"
…
An Xuguang and others showed surprise and dissatisfaction on their faces, and they all spoke.
"However, this is the only way to control the spread of the plague. Who can guarantee that a vaccine to control the plague will be developed in a short time? Once it spreads again, the consequences will only become more and more disastrous, so blocking these cities is a helpless move."
Wang Zhaokui shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Those are ordinary people. How can they give up so easily when they are not dead yet? They will only become more desperate after knowing about it."
Zhang Yang also found it incredible. He thought that Catherine, a beautiful woman, was too cruel, so he naturally began to resent her. Although he knew it was a helpless method, what was the difference between this and killing those poor people?
After a pause, he continued: "We have traditional Chinese medicine that can control the disease, and we can develop a vaccine while controlling it."
"Well, I don't agree with her approach either. You can block the city, but you can't give up on the uninfected people. Even plague patients must do their best to delay the deterioration of their condition."
Wang Zhaokui looked determined. After finishing speaking, he suddenly stood up and said: "NO,..."
Zhang Yang couldn't understand what he said next, but he understood the first word and knew that he was denying Catherine's statement.
Wang Zhaokui and Catherine started a tit-for-tat conversation, and the surrounding eyes focused on the two. There was silence, except for Haman who said a few words in English from time to time...
Zhang Yang regretted more and more. He should learn English well, otherwise he would not act like a fool and only act in a hurry.
Fortunately, Pulina had calmed down a lot at this time. Seeing his anxious look, she started to translate for him sentence by sentence.
"Our medical assistance team has developed traditional Chinese medicine that can delay the progression of the disease. As long as these drugs are in place, the disease can be controlled and provide time for the development of a vaccine," Wang Zhaokui said.
"Delay the disease? The number of people infected by the plague has reached hundreds of thousands. How many medicines are needed?" Catherine frowned and asked.
"The cost of drugs is about ten dollars. In terms of the amount of medicine that each patient takes for a few days, it costs about 40 million U.S. dollars. However, it can delay the patient's life in just a few days, and it is entirely possible to wait until a vaccine is developed.
, He will not die innocently." Wang Zhaokui said after obviously analyzing the investment in drugs.
Time is life. Although it only lasts a few days, it is even more precious to hundreds of thousands of people...
Forty million US dollars, according to the lowest exchange rate, is equivalent to 2.5 billion to more than 3 billion Chinese coins. Obviously this is a large capital investment. He said it at this time with the purpose of getting more countries.
financial support.
"Forty million dollars invested in a few days?"
There was a trace of doubt on Catherine's pretty face, and she continued after a pause: "But don't forget, the plague is spreading, and the number of patients is growing rapidly. Tens of thousands or even tens of thousands more people may be infected every day, and their condition worsens.
The number of patients will also increase exponentially, and the duration of these drugs will be greatly shortened." (To be continued)
