Chapter 406: I Want to Try
Under Zhou Guangming's arrangement, the prevention and control of the crimson virus in Sanyang Town and even the entire Nanxi has become more specific and in-depth. According to the prevention and control measures adopted during the SARS period, all kinds of disinfectants and methods were staged in Sanyang Town again, and the strong smell of the potions could be smelled everywhere.
According to the statistics of the staff led by Chen Pu, the exact number of people suspected of being infected in the entire Sanyang Town is eighty-six. Regarding this number, Wang Rui has an inexplicable attitude in his heart. After all, for a super-contagious virus like the Crimson Virus, it is almost impossible to accurately and completely count the number of infected people.
Because those who are infected by the virus will only develop symptoms such as cough, fatigue, and fever within a certain period of time. For those who have had direct cross-contact with someone who has the virus, there is a high chance that they will also be infected.
Therefore, when counting the people suspected of being infected, the general operating principle is to screen out the people with symptoms first. Inquiries and surveys are then conducted to find other people who have come into contact with these populations. Only in this way can we carry out the most effective prevention and control of the virus.
When Zhou Guangming arrived in Sanyang Town, under the guidance of the first batch of medical experts who came with Tang Ruozhi, the health center in Sanyang Town had been transformed into a place for the treatment and monitoring of temporarily infected people. All kinds of instruments were quickly equipped in the town health center in the hands of the medical staff who were urgently dispatched, and those suspected infected people who were counted by Chen Pu had already been temporarily brought to the health center for corresponding auxiliary treatment.
For this crimson virus, even if there is a pathology expert like Qin Hao. It is only a general understanding of its basic characteristics. It is not possible to eradicate the virus itself at all.
In the tent of the testing center on the playground of the Hope School in Sanyang Town, virus samples are being carried out in the hands of technical personnel, doing all kinds of necessary tests and experiments. In order to create a special agent against the crimson virus faster, as early as the initial collection of the virus, Qin Hao sent some samples of the virus to a large professional medical laboratory in the province through a military helicopter.
However, nearly six hours have passed since the virus was collected, and Qin Hao's progress has been slow, from the province to the laboratory that was urgently dispatched to Shengjing. There was no encouraging news either. This is not only due to part of the experiment. It has a certain time period, and it is also limited by equipment and technical reasons.
Therefore, for the adjuvant treatment of those suspected infected patients in the town hospital, it is also carried out with reference to the original SARS and other similar infectious viruses. Of course. This treatment plan has passed through Qin Hao's laboratory. After conducting experiments such as toxicological reactions and pathological tests. before it was adopted and implemented.
Chen Pu's work on the statistics of infected people, after being praised by Zhou Guangming, is even more energetic. After deploying several medical staff to the town hospital. According to the oral accounts and corresponding inquiries of those infected people, many people who have had direct or indirect contact with these infected people have been found again.
For a time, the number of people suspected of being infected or already infected soared from the original 86 to 162. For the rise of this data, all the leaders in Sanyang Town couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in their hearts.
Although there has not been a single case of critically ill or dying from the crimson virus, it is only a matter of time before a method or drug against the virus is found soon. Because, according to Zhang Zihua, who was appointed by Zhou Guangming as the temporary person in charge of the treatment monitoring site, there are already several patients in the health center, and there are some signs of aggravation.
Time is running out and the situation is grim.
After the emergency standing committee of the provincial party committee, Rongcheng and the cities and counties under its jurisdiction have opened emergency treatment places in the best hospitals and are ready for emergency response to the virus outbreak. Nanxi County, as the first place of the virus, was arranged by Hou Zhiyang and Chen Pu to send out the elite soldiers of the health system to Sanyang Town Health Center for virus prevention, control and treatment.
Zhang Zihua, as the president of Nanxi County People's Hospital, was even more anxious at this time. Although he was appointed by the executive vice mayor as the temporary person in charge of the treatment and monitoring site, due to the poor hardware facilities of the Sanyang Town Health Center and the expert group led by Qin Hao regarding the characteristics of the crimson virus, the corresponding characteristics have not yet been fully understood. Therefore, while treating those who are infected, medical staff are also careful to prevent secondary infection.
After all, in the original SARS treatment and prevention work, the medical staff who rushed to the front line were infected by a considerable number of people, so that the medical system at that time caused extremely serious losses.
"Elder Qin, I think for the treatment of this virus, can I try the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine?" In the tent of the virus monitoring and analysis center, Wang Rui said softly to Qin Hao.
From Tang Ruozhi and Zhou Guangming, when Wang Rui learned that the number of infected people had soared to nearly 200, he stayed directly in the virus detection and analysis center, while checking the research data and progress of the researchers in the tent, and generally thinking about the solution in his mind.
As the original discoverer of this crimson virus, Wang Rui has already mastered and understood some of its characteristics. At the beginning, in his small courtyard, Wang Rui thought of a way to deal with it, but it has not yet been verified.
"Chinese herbal preparations?" Qin Hao withdrew his gaze staring at the screen, turned his head to look at Wang Rui beside him and said.
Under Tang Ruozhi's introduction, Qin Hao also knew Wang Rui, but this understanding was limited to Tang Ruozhi's oral introduction. As for Wang Rui's medical attainments, Qin Hao didn't know whether it was or not. However, according to his ability to observe people, coupled with Wang Rui's young age, no matter what Qin Hao thought, he would never have thought of Wang Rui's profound attainments in traditional Chinese medicine techniques.
"Xiao Wang, we don't care whether traditional Chinese medicine preparations are effective for this kind of infectious diseases. However, according to the current situation, we can't find the target of the crimson virus from Western medicine for the time being, so how can we find it from the aspect of traditional Chinese medicine? What's more, today's domestic Chinese medicine experts are not very good at infectious diseases! Qin Hao said to Wang Rui again without thinking.
In Qin Hao's remarks, he did not deny or question Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, but only put forward his own opinions on the current situation that is so urgent. As he said, the entire virus detection and analysis center now uses a full set of theories of Western medicine to analyze and study the crimson virus.
And how to use the "perspective" of traditional Chinese medicine to investigate the target of this virus? Where to find a master of Chinese culture who is not only good at the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, but also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine?
"Old Qin, if you can, I want to try!" Wang Rui listened to Qin Hao's words, thought for a while, and then whispered to the other party. (To be continued......)
