However, the current situation did not allow him to remain silent. Shan Yue was not the only one staring at him now. Even Zhou Xuan’s gaze was on him.
“I do know a little about this, but I didn’t mean to hide it from the two of you. After all, the nature of the matter is different. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble because of me. Moreover, all I know is some gossip. I’m not sure how credible it is, so just listen.”
The corners of Shan Yue’s lips curled up slightly, and the gaze in her eyes softened. “It’s okay, Uncle Dong. Just tell me what you know. These aren’t official conversations. As long as we leave this door, no one will know what we talked about today.”
“The news of this matter is very tightly sealed. I only heard from my friend who works in the upper echelons of the hospital that there are some patients at the highest level of the Federation’s First Hospital. They have a virus that the experts have never heard of before. This disease might not be contagious, but it might also be extremely contagious. This is because it hasn’t been long since it happened. These things are just unknown.”
Since he had already said that, Dong Peng simply told him everything he knew. “Because Yu Sen’s idea is to stop the development of this matter from the root. Therefore, he feels that the most important thing now is to send out the news. Anyone who has contact with the patient should be hospitalized for observation. If something really happens, it will be convenient for subsequent timely treatment.”
“However, the people from the Medical Department should have rejected Yu Sen’s idea, right? They will feel that if they rashly send out such news before the matter is confirmed, it will only increase people’s anxiety and fear and create panic for the Federation.”
Shan Yue immediately guessed what Dong Peng was about to say. “Once this virus is not infectious, announcing it will only hinder the development of the Federation. However, if it is infectious, we haven’t developed a medicine that can treat it yet. Therefore, it’s not too late to resolve it then. This should be their idea.”
“Precisely. Everyone who has anything to do with this is, for the most part, opposed to the idea that their minds are now completely on the wrong track.”
Dong Peng shook his head helplessly. “But these are useless. At this time, we have to listen to the country’s arrangements. Therefore, many people can only endure it for the time being and wait to see the next development of the matter.”
“Actually, how should I put it? From the perspective of the Medical Department, they did the right thing. At least, it’s the best choice so far. Because we don’t know how infectious the virus is, we can only study the antidote and wait.”
Shan Yue poured water into her cup again, and the steaming smoke floated up again. “But after all, everyone is from a different perspective. We can only see the full picture after we withdraw and become a bystander.”
After hearing this, Dong Peng threw out the question. “Then if President Shan were in their shoes, how would you resolve this better?”
“Actually, it’s quite easy to solve. The Medical Department’s sample library has collected all the viruses in the world so far over the years. First, we have to determine the composition, find similar strains, and make an initial judgment on whether they’re contagious or not.”
Shan Yue did not hesitate at all. She was already experienced in such matters. “If you’re still worried, secretly bring the patient’s family and the person with the most contact to the hospital first. This way, it won’t cause a social commotion.”
“Yu Sen had long proposed this method to the Medical Department, but the result was the same. The application was rejected again. I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking now, but I think as a manager, we shouldn’t treat human lives like child’s play.”
Only then did Dong Peng get to the point. “It’s precisely because of this that President Yu has no choice but to do this. Since the Medical Department didn’t agree with him, he’ll resolve it himself. That’s why he wants to gather all the doctors in the Federation’s Central City society tomorrow. He wants to form a team that belongs to him to overcome this crisis.”
“I understand.”
Shan Yue had a rough outline of the entire matter in her heart. She really did not know about the hospital. If Dong Peng had not said so, she would not have known..
