“I had a positive reaction. This is a variant of the virus that should be reported to the World Disease Society! ”

On March 18 last year, around 9 a.m., 54-year-old Jeong Seong-jae, who lives in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do, received a phone call from her son’s doctor, a doctor at Yeungnam University Hospital. In the last test among 13 new coronavirus infections (Corona 19), his son Jung Yoo-yeop (at the time, 17 years old) tested positive. The doctor also reported self-isolation to the Jeong couple who had contact with their son. But at 11:16 am, two hours later. The hospital said her son had died.

Immediately after the military’s death, health officials examined the military’s specimens and made a final negative decision. The Jung couple accepted the government’s decision. At the time, Jung said in an interview with JoongAng Ilbo, “There was an autopsy request, but the reason for the refusal is because I believe in the negative conclusion of the government.”

However, Jeong interviewed JoongAng Ilbo again on the 22nd and said, “The government has betrayed their faith.” In an interview before a walk march calling for an investigative investigation into his son’s death, Mr. Jeong said: “I suspected that your son had been confirmed for Corona 19 at Yeungnam University Hospital, but the decision The government’s refusal was to investigate the facts about the child’s death. It was in the expectation that a countermeasure would come up, “he said.” However, for a year, the government continued to march in silence. ”

Jeong is currently battling stage 3 rectal cancer. Jeong takes a heavy body and treats his son from the Gyeongsan Central Hospital in Gyeongsangbuk-do, who refused inpatient treatment for his suspected son from Corona 19 on this day, and walks 380 km to the Blue House through the University Hospital Yeungnam, who suspected Corona 19.. The Blue House is expected to arrive on the 17th of next month.

When you get to the Blue House, you will ask for three things. ▶ Investigation of whether the medical treatment of the hospital where the child was treated was adequate and legal ▶ Apologies to the person in charge if there was medical negligence ▶ Improvement of the medical system to prevent the recurrence of wrongful death due to medical gaps that occurred during the COVID-19 quarantine process .

Jeong has argued that “my son died due to a medical vacuum.” When the government died a year ago, that was when the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions suffered from the Corona 19 pandemic. At that time, the emergency rooms of the hospitals where Corona 19 patients were passing were closed one after another.

Jeonggun, who lives in Gyeongsan City, showed symptoms of a fever over 40 degrees after lining up to buy masks at a pharmacy near his home at the time. According to Jeong, Jung visited Gyeongsan Central Hospital, but the hospital refused to be hospitalized, saying he was suspicious of Corona 19. After a day, the condition deteriorated, and the government and his parents returned to the hospital and requested an ambulance. to go to the third hospital, but even this was rejected.

The day before the walk, Jeong posted a petition to the Blue House. ‘Only the corona test was 13, and Yu-yeop, 17, was not killed by Corona 19. It’s a petition titled’ I was euthanized by a medical target hiding behind Quarantine K ‘.

In the petition, Mr. Jeong said, “I left Yoo-yup and attended Corona 19 related discussions and met experts. In the process, I learned that Yoo-Yeop’s death was due to a medical vacuum caused by a lack of medical publicity. I also realized that if Yoo-yup couldn’t reveal the truth of death and bury it, the same unfair sacrifices as Yoo-yup could be repeated. ”

For a year, Jung formed the Jeong Yu-yeop Death Countermeasures Committee (hereinafter the Countermeasures Committee) together with civic groups and experts. The countermeasures committee will march with Jeong for a month. On this day, the Committee said, “Upon discovering the truth about the death of a Jung Yoo-yup student, we must find measures to prevent the recurrence of medical blanks and make public health care one step further.” .
