“…… We have a brilliant victory! ”

In a telegram sent by Ehrlich, he wrote enthusiastically in an emotional tone: "Over the past three months, we have proven your and Professor Koch's theories, and we have taken control of the public health system of the entire city of Hamburg with the full support of the city government!" In July and August, when cholera rates should be at their highest, the number of new patients in Hamburg has dropped dramatically, and most people have been cured of rehydration therapy......"

When he saw this, John couldn't help but smile slightly.

Although he had long since left Hamburg and had never actively followed the situation there, Ehrlich and Koch had been communicating with him by telegram for the past three months. So John knew very well that after the city of Hamburg gave Koch certain rights, he and Ehrlich, Kitasato Shibazaburo and others immediately began to take action - door-to-door propaganda of preventive control measures, teaching people to boil water to drink, to heat food thoroughly, and to wash their hands carefully after returning from each trip......

The means of the future, to achieve success is a matter of necessity.

So when summer arrives, cholera outbreaks intensify in other parts of Hamburg, but in Koch's area like another world, only sporadic infections occur! This indisputable fact caused the Hamburg city to quickly change its attitude and abandon Petenkov for drinking a vial of Vibrio cholerae – even if he did not die, as in history, but only had mild symptoms.

With the city in control, Koch and Ehrlich's success was unstoppable.

But......

"Sadly, Hamburg still loses a lot of people."

At the end of the telegram, Ehrlich reluctantly wrote: "Until the end of August." A total of 3,428 citizens of Hamburg have lost their lives, and we estimate that hundreds more may be lost in the next two to three months......"

"Oh God!"

When John saw this, Anna, who was watching the telegram with him, exclaimed, and then immediately covered her little mouth. For Anna, who has been pampered since childhood. More than 3,000 people is undoubtedly a very large number, especially when she thinks that her husband was in Hamburg a few months ago, and he is also facing such danger, the woman only feels a panic, and her little face is flushed!

"Don't worry, the situation is under control."

Patting Anna's little hand, John patiently comforted his wife.

The cholera outbreak in Hamburg is likely to kill nearly 4,000 people, which is a huge number, but compared to more than 8,000 in real history. It's actually quite satisfying. Koch and Ehrlich were not omnipotent, especially when the Germans of this era were not so high-quality, and it was basically impossible to make every corner of the city clean and everyone to live according to their propaganda. And now is the time of the high incidence of cholera, and the city of Hamburg will continue to be harmed by contaminated water sources, infected and carriers who continue to spread the virus......

But anyway, this matter is finally coming to an end. As long as these two months have passed, cholera has basically not been able to make any waves.

"Actually. I'm struggling with something else! ”

After comforting his wife, John secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

In London, in Hamburg, John presented the theories of the future to British and German physicians, and for more convincing purposes, he brought some knowledge of cholera, malaria, and plague. For example, Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria, some characteristics of Yersinia pestis, etc., and after coming to Berlin, I wrote a book "Infectious Diseases"!

He is now hesitant, not knowing whether he should publish the book.

Ever since bacteriology arose from Pasteur and Koch, no matter how well doctors accepted it. All of them quickly attracted the attention of European governments. This is partly because Europe itself is the hardest hit by infectious diseases, with diseases such as white plague and cholera raging every year, and on the other hand, colonies such as India, Africa, and Southeast Asia are in an even worse environment and need to find ways to deal with them. So Koch's team would travel to Egypt and India to study cholera, and the Dutch sent people to colonies in Southeast Asia several times to study beriberi – even if they had always been misguided.

The publication of Infectious Diseases will undoubtedly greatly promote the study of infectious diseases in Europe.

Don't underestimate the energy of this book, which contains a lot of theoretical knowledge that is ahead of its time, and can basically be regarded as the foundation of the high-rise building of infectious diseases. In addition, in this book, John also includes the key knowledge of many common infectious diseases, such as transmission routes, vectors, etc., which will provide important support for the prevention of these diseases......

"Okay? Is it bad? ”

Sitting on the couch in the living room, John slowly fell into a state of contemplation.

The advantages of publication are obvious, the influence on the discipline of infectious diseases is too great, at least far more than the influence of the Koch principle in this era, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, it will greatly promote the colonial "cause" of the European and American powers! If John was really German-American, then of course there was no need to say anything, but he was fundamentally white-skinned and yellow-hearted, and then it had to be carefully weighed.

"John, what do you want?"

Seeing that her husband was lost in thought, Anna couldn't help but gently nudge him and asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing...... Haha"

John was suddenly awakened by Anna's call, and after a moment's pause, he suddenly laughed again.

Anna was a little confused by this laughter, and she didn't know that just now, John suddenly figured out one thing: just like when he chose to practice medicine again in this life, why did he think about it so much?

It's just a book, whether it's good or bad?

Perhaps the development of epidemiology will greatly facilitate the invasion of the colonies by the great powers, but it will also bring benefits to those in the colonies, right? Moreover, the greater the value of the colonies and the larger the market, the more acute the contradictions between the great powers will be in the future, and perhaps the First World War will break out in advance......

What does this and that have to do with him?

John, who had figured it out, was in a good mood and turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law: "Anna, have you been bored at home lately?" Hehe, let's go out for a walk tomorrow if the weather is good? ”

"Really?"

Hearing John say this, Anna's eyes suddenly lit up.

The cholera outbreak in Hamburg has caused panic throughout Germany, and even Berlin, hundreds of kilometers away, has been affected, and people are reluctant to leave their homes. John was scared of being entangled because of the theory of infectious diseases and physics papers, and he didn't go out much at all, so the life of the two of them was really dull during this time.

It's great to be able to go out and breathe.

Excited Anna immediately began to plan, but before she could think of the housekeeper, she hurried in again, glared at her eyes and said urgently: "Sir, a gentleman has just visited and brought you an invitation......
