Chapter 35: Double Coptis chinensis
Like Zhao Dajiang and his wife, after Rob was interviewed on TV, many relatives and classmates called and sent messages, she was tired and sleepy after a busy day, but after being asked excitedly by a group of people, the sleepiness disappeared.
She shrunk into the quilt and opened her mobile phone, and found that all major websites and official accounts had been swiped by a message.
"Coptis chinensis is able to suppress the new coronavirus. ”
Rob was even more energetic when he saw this title, and immediately clicked on the webpage to view it.
For the medical community and even all walks of life that have not yet developed a drug to treat the new crown pneumonia, if this news is true, it is great news.
But after carefully reading the news from top to bottom, she was inevitably a little disappointed.
Coptis chinensis is not used to prevent novel coronavirus infection.
At present, from clinical laboratory examinations, it has been found that Shuanghuanglian has many active ingredients, which can inhibit the replication of the new coronavirus to a certain extent, but there is still no evidence that it can be used to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, and can only be used as an adjuvant treatment.
However, in a state of mental tension for everyone, many people ignore the difference between "prevention" and "inhibition", and on the day the news broke, not only major media rushed to report it, but pharmacies across the country also instantly became hot spots.
Some people even went to the front of the pharmacy in the early morning to queue up to buy, and even fought because of the friction caused by the crowding.
Isn't that adding to the chaos?
At such a time, not to mention the risk of infection when you go out, and go to the pharmacy to crowd people, isn't it a joke?
If this continues, not only Wuhan will have to be fully closed for management, but other cities may also have to adopt measures for closed management, she heard from a friend in her hometown. The entrance and exit of the community over there requires a pass, and each family can only go out for two days.
Thinking about it, Rob felt thirsty, took the cup and went out to fetch water, and saw Luo's mother still watching TV in the living room, so he used his mobile phone to chat with others.
Seeing Rob come out, Luo's mother was surprised: "Why haven't you slept yet?" Usually at this time, you have already fallen asleep, and you can't wake up when you shout, sometimes I can still hear you snoring!"
Rob exploded when he heard this: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, who is snoring! How can I snore......"
Luo's mother was amused, and she didn't argue with her, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Rob shook his head and gestured to the cup in his hand, "I'll drink some water." ”
Luo's mother glanced at the cup in her hand and said, "Drink warm water, don't drink cold water, otherwise your stomach will definitely be uncomfortable tomorrow." ”
"Hmm...... Got it!" Rob is still worried about the words of "snoring" just now, and any girl who is said to be snoring is probably going crazy!
Seeing that her mood was a little strange, Luo's mother thought about it and asked, "Xiaobu, I saw that you didn't eat much for dinner?"
Rob shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." ”
Actually, Luo's mother is right, Rob is indeed a little melancholy.
Recently, there have been some bad voices from the outside world.
The day before the closure of Wubei, nearly 300,000 people flowed out, and in addition to the previous Spring Festival, the total number was nearly 5 million.
However, most people can still clearly understand that our enemy is not the Wubei people, but the new crown virus itself!
The mixed public opinion of all parties made Rob a little sullen, and people outside would not know what the people of Wubei had gone through to resist the virus. Although she is not from Wubei, she still feels aggrieved for Wubei people.
Immediately afterwards, the matter of Shuanghuanglian also made people feel anxious.
She took a sip of water, and was about to go back to the room, when she heard Luo's mother ask: "Xiaobu, have you heard about Shuanghuanglian, do we want to buy some back?"
Robbton stopped and said, "Mom, you misunderstood, this medicine can't prevent it, it can only suppress ......"
The news of this pair of Coptis chinensis is really a bit overwhelming, but in fact, many Chinese patent medicines have been recommended for use in this epidemic, what Lianhua Qingwen granules, including the traditional Chinese medicine remedies mentioned in the previous articles on various public accounts, these may have a little effect, but they cannot cure the new crown pneumonia.
Even if it can be prevented, it is not for everyone.
However, Rob understands this, but people of their age are not good at distinguishing useful information, and said, "Isn't that what it means?"
Luo Ma obviously didn't quite understand the difference between the two.
Rob walked over and sat down with her narrator, put the cup on his father's "coffee table-style ping-pong table", and explained to Luo's mother: "Prevention refers to the illness before drinking, it is not easy to be infected after drinking this medicine. Inhibition means that after you have this disease, you can slow down the development of this disease in the future......"
Luo Ma reacted for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oh...... In other words, this double coptis is only effective when people who have been infected drink it, and it may not have much effect!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you're so smart, that's what you mean!"
"Then why are there so many people queuing up overnight? I saw that there were many people in my hometown who went to the pharmacy to buy it, and your third aunt just told me to let your third aunt go and buy it too!"
"Then you hurry up and tell the third aunt and ask her not to join in this fun, in case the medicine can't be bought and she is infected, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"
"What you're talking about, I'll tell your third aunt...... Forget it, I'll go directly to our family group @ your third aunt, so that everyone can see it. ”
Rob raised his eyebrows: "Okay, Mom, you'll @......"
Luo Ma looked at her proudly: "That's!"
The corners of Rob's mouth twitched, and he turned around and went back to sleep!
Lying back in the bed, Rob flipped through the circle of friends, and someone had already posted a photo of "Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid" with the text "Show off your wealth". Some people also took screenshots of the order information, saying that Shuanghuanglian had been sold out, and asked who could buy it. The contrast between those who bought and those who didn't, the emotional tone.
Rob was a little helpless, and even suspected that someone was deliberately hyping up this by taking advantage of everyone's psychology of rushing to the doctor. She shook her head and was about to turn off her phone to sleep, but a red dot popped up in the V-letter.
She opened it and took a look, it was a message from Liang Yu.
"Radish, did you sleep?"
Rob's fingers jumped quickly on the keyboard of the mobile phone, and replied: "Not yet, why haven't you slept yet, aren't you sleepy after a busy day?"
"Aren't you the curious babies in our class? I'm excited to see you on the interview, and the class group hasn't stopped, I don't know how everyone heard that I volunteered with you, and found me crackling and asking questions!"
