[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 433: Complete Plan (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

"And how should such a fierce plague be treated?" Ma Zheng asked, this is what he is most concerned about at the moment.

Wang Jitang immediately said: "If you want to treat the plague, first of all, you have to determine how the current outbreak of the plague is transmitted, sometimes the plague is transmitted by air, some by water or food, and some by animals. I haven't studied the plague in our Zhangjiakou in detail, but judging from the few ordinary people I have received before, it should be the most difficult plague. ”

"Well, the doctor of our military region also judged that it was the plague!" Ma Zheng nodded and said.

"If it's plague, you have to see if it's carried by animals, which is common rats or mosquitoes. However, judging from the experience of many years, the scale of the disease carried by animals is relatively small and can be easily controlled, which is obviously not in line with our current situation. Just like the great plague that occurred in the Northeast in the past year, at first people thought it was a germ carried by rats, so every household began to fight rats. ”

Then Wang Jitang continued: "As a result, the results of the final study proved that it was not infected by the germs carried by mice, that is, the source of infection was not rats or other animals. After research, it was found that the plague was transmitted from person to person and was transmitted through saliva, so the attending doctor at that time designed an extremely simple double-layer gauze capsule mask, that is, with two layers of gauze and a built-in absorbent cotton wool, which could isolate the patient. ”

"After the outbreak of the plague, I closely watched its development and observed several patients I had treated, and found that the plague that occurred in Zhangjiakou this time was probably transmitted from person to person. Because after your army captured Zhangjiakou, the first thing they did when they entered the city was to force all the residents to take a bath immediately, and at the same time organized the people in the city to clear the ruins in the city and the corpses below, and also organized a large-scale rodent eradication operation, and the sanitary conditions in the city were significantly improved, and it stands to reason that it should not be infected by rats. But this is just my personal speculation, and the specific situation will have to be experimented. ”

"How to do this experiment?" Ma Zheng didn't know much about medical matters, so he asked immediately.

"Dissect the rats, catch a batch of rats, it must be from the city, at least a hundred. Then the mice are dissected to see if they also have problems, and if so, it cannot be ruled out that the rats carry germs and then transmit them to humans. If not, then not. Wang Jitang said.

"I'll let people do the rat thing as soon as possible, and I'll also have the mask that Elder Wang said send as soon as possible, but there may not be much in a hurry!" Ma Zheng said.

"Chief Ma, masks are actually easy to get, their cost is low, and there is not much technical content, you only need to have raw materials to produce them on a large scale. Besides, this thing is not as expensive as weapons and ammunition, hundreds of them are just a big ocean, your ministry can completely ask for foreign purchases, or let Wuhan ask for assistance, compared to the serious consequences of the expansion of the plague, whether it is Chairman Jiang in Wuhan or Chief Yan in Shanxi, they will definitely not embarrass your ministry because of these things, let alone take advantage of the fire to rob, after all, once the epidemic spreads, it will be harmful to the whole country. Wang Jitang suggested.

Ma Zheng thought about it and felt that what Wang Jitang said was very reasonable. The harm of the plague must not be repeated by yourself, and the big guys above are all clear. Once the plague spreads unlimitedly, it may be the unlucky Suicha Military Region at the beginning, but in the end it is the entire Chinese nation that is unlucky. As the orthodox government of China today, the Nationalist Government would never have watched such a thing happen.

"Very well, that's it. When I went back, I personally sent a report to Wuhan and asked them to quickly send the stock of masks to Zhangjiakou. Ma Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"In addition, we also have to divide the epidemic area and carry out special personnel to be responsible. The whole of Zhangjiakou is divided into several districts with the group or village committee where the residents live, and each district has an emergency team, presided over by a famous doctor, equipped with a number of assistants and a large number of police or soldiers. The emergency team is divided into many positions such as diagnosis, disinfection, burial, and standing. ”

"The task of the emergency team is to send out search teams every day to check the epidemic from house to house. As soon as someone was found to be infected with the plague, they were immediately sent to an epidemic prevention hospital, and their house was disinfected with raw sulfur and carbolic acid. Residents of each district are allowed to move around within their own district, but they must apply for a special permit to travel to other districts. Even the soldiers in the district must strictly follow this rule and are not allowed to move around. At the same time, according to the condition of the patients admitted, the diagnosis hospitals are divided into epidemic hospitals, mild hospitals, suspected hospitals and epidemic prevention hospitals. Each hospital has medical officers, general clerks, pharmacists, nurses, inspectors and other positions. It not only provides treatment for patients with different conditions, but also avoids cross-infection between them. Wang Jitang said.

"I think it's okay, we will also implement the second phase of the measures, and we will also set aside a quarantine area, as long as it is conducive to the control of the epidemic, we will implement it." Ma Zheng said.

Wang Jitang continued: "The third stage is about the disposal of corpses, which is very important, I wonder how your army is now dealing with the remains of those deceased? ”

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "The government provides coffins for the deceased and buries them, and even if the bodies are found on the street, the government comes forward to collect them, put them in coffins and transport them to the cemetery." What, is there something wrong with this? ”

"Of course, it's still the early days of the plague, so the manpower and coffins can still be used. But as the plague continues to expand, when the death toll increases, there will certainly not be enough people to handle both coffins and corpses. Therefore, it is recommended that the deceased patients be incinerated immediately to avoid unforeseen hidden dangers. Wang Jitang said.

"Incineration?" Ma Zheng said in surprise, it's not that Ma Zheng doesn't understand what Wang Jitang means, but Ma Zheng can't imagine that anyone will have such awareness in this era. You must know that the Chinese pay the most attention to filial piety and family affection, no matter who died, the first thought is to let the dead into the soil for peace, few people will say that the body of the deceased will be burned.

"Although burying in situ is also a solution, it is troublesome to deal with, and the hidden danger is very large. The main reason is that these dead people all died of the plague, and their corpses already carried a large amount of virus, and if they are not cleanly disposed of, these corpses will become a new source of virus infection. Not to mention that people touch the corpses, even if rats or other animals come into contact with the corpses, they can be transmitted from animals to people in the city. If this happens, then all anti-epidemic measures will come to naught. ”

Then Wang Jitang continued: "So he wants to dispose of these corpses as soon as possible, and with our conditions at this time, the only way is to concentrate on cremation. But cremation is a desecration of dead relatives for us Chinese, so in this regard, it is also necessary for your army to formulate iron laws, and it must be clearly stipulated that the remains of all those who die of illness must be cremated. Presumably, after these three stages of treatment, it should not be a problem to control the epidemic. Wang Jitang said.

Ma Zheng thought about it, this Wang Jitang does have two brushes, this plan is indeed outstanding, from the outbreak of the epidemic to how to treat it, there are detailed steps and plans, it is indeed very good.

Moreover, many of the things he said corroborated with some common sense of hygiene that Ma Zheng learned in later generations, and there is indeed a certain amount of truth. And after being reminded of many things by this person, Ma Zheng really thought of a lot of questions.

For example, the treatment of the remains of the deceased, some viruses can be dormant for months or even years even in the most severe cold season, if the remains of those who died of the epidemic are hastily buried, it will leave a huge hidden danger, and it is not sure when it will recur, and the best and safest way is to burn all the corpses.

And the troops of the people who are currently dying in the field hospital have organized people to bury them, and this may leave a disaster. What's more, some locals died directly at home, some of these people were buried, and some had not had time to deal with it, which was even more dangerous, so it was necessary to carry out cremation treatment in strict accordance with what Wang Jitang said.
