Chapter 204: Claire is critically ill (asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! ）

The Japanese army did not take advantage of the fire to loot which made Chen Feng a little relieved, no matter what, although the Japanese army did not launch a full-scale attack on Chahar, but blocked all the roads leading to Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding, Chengde and Guisui and other places, and also sent heavy troops to guard it. On the one hand, there is a fear of the spread of the epidemic to the occupied territories, and on the other hand, there is a control over the flow of medical equipment and medicines into Chahar. The Japanese army wanted to let the plague wipe out the 40th Army for them.

From the 27th, the number of patients in Zhangjiakou, Datong and Wei County began to increase rapidly, and the mortality rate also increased rapidly. Not only did the refugees and civilians who returned from the exchange infect and died in a large area, but even the 7th Independent Division and the Xinghe Garrison Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou also had a large number of soldiers and officers infected, and a suffocating panic permeated the entire Zhangjiakou.

By June 3, more than 34,000 people had been infected in the four epidemic areas of Zhangjiakou, Datong, Weixian and Xuanhua, while the death toll had risen to 6,723 and, most importantly, not a single case of cure had been achieved so far.

During this period, the medical team of the 40th Army conducted several experiments, but in the end they all failed, and no effective drug for the plague was found. Chen Feng even asked Hu Jishi to use the precious penicillin on the infected, but the final effect made Chen Feng extremely disappointed. Although penicillin has a certain effect on plague, it can only barely control the disease, and cannot completely cure it.

The first patient to receive penicillin has not died. But his condition has not improved, he is still groggy every day, and his body temperature is maintained above 39 degrees every day.

Chen Feng's heart was completely panicked, and even penicillin didn't work, which can only show that penicillin drugs do not have much effect on the plague, and conventional drugs are even more useless, watching hundreds of people die in pain every day, Chen Feng's heart is like a knife, but there is no way at all.

Fortunately, the regulations for epidemic prevention and treatment specified by Chen Feng were quickly issued, despite the severity of the disaster in Zhangjiakou and Datong. However, there have been no outbreaks in Xinghe, Jining and other counties. It can be said that the plague has so far only spread to four counties and cities: Zhangjiakou, Datong, Wei and Xuanhua.

On June 5, the Military Command Bureau of the Nationalist Government sent a telegram that, after an all-out search by the Military Command Department, Dr. Wu Liande was finally found in Malaysia, where Dr. Wu Liande was born. After learning that there was a massive outbreak of plague in Chahar. Dr. Ng immediately expressed his willingness to return to China immediately. Assist the Chahar Provincial Government in its efforts to eradicate plague.

However, because Wu Liande is still in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, it will take two weeks to arrive in Chahar Province at the earliest, and he also has to mobilize overseas Chinese in Nanyang to raise a fund for Chahar Province. Recruiting a group of doctors, he was worried about whether the medical and health conditions in Chahar Province were enough to eradicate the plague, so he had to be fully prepared before he came, so it was likely that he would arrive a little later.

However, Dr. Wu Liande sent some messages to the Chahar provincial government through the military command department, mainly some experience measures for epidemic prevention and control, as well as some feasible medicines.

According to Wu Liande, the first choice for treating plague is penicillin drugs, and it must be pure penicillin. However, given that pure penicillin was extremely rare, Wu Liande replaced pure penicillin with penicillin. Of course, it is difficult to buy penicillin on the market now, because no one has been able to solve the problem of penicillin purification so far, so penicillin on the market is just an impure penicillin, and its penicillin content can barely reach about 35%.

Of course, the 35% penicillin drug could not kill the plague bacteria, so Wu Liande prepared some traditional Chinese medicines, the main drug of which was Dalangen decoction. Big blue root, also known as banlan root, is a very common herb in the north, which has a miraculous effect on clearing heat and detoxifying. Then add ginger soup that warms the stomach and dispels cold, and the three-pronged approach should be able to control the condition of the infected person.

But this is just a conjecture of Wu Liande, as for the effect, Wu Liande did not conduct a clinical test, and he did not know whether the plague that occurred in Chahar and the plague that occurred in the Northeast decades ago were the same plague, so Wu Liande asked Chen Feng to try it in the telegram, and if it didn't work, he would wait for him to raise money and people, and then treat it in Chahar.

After reading the telegram sent by the military command department, Chen Feng was overjoyed. According to Wu Liande, penicillin is the best drug for treating plague. The previous use of penicillin did not have much effect, completely because the current penicillin is only a pseudopenicillin drug, mainly because the penicillin drug purification technology is not up to standard.

With Wu Liande's prompt, Chen Feng was relieved, others did not have penicillin purification techniques, which did not mean that he did not have someone else. He also plans to use penicillin to do business with the United States and the Soviet Union and other countries, the annual output of more than 20,000 tons of penicillin is an extremely terrifying output even in the future, if penicillin is really effective against plague, then the plague is really not a big problem.

Penicillin fungus Chen Feng began to cultivate as early as three months ago, and the 40th Group Army began to quietly produce penicillin a month ago. It's just that there are still some penicillin drugs purchased before, so the new penicillin, amoxicillin and other drugs have not been issued to the troops, so that Chen Feng mistakenly thinks that penicillin has little effect on plague.

Now that the peak is turning around, after learning the truth, Chen Feng ordered Hu Jishi and others to follow Wu Liande's method while using the stock of pseudopenicillin drugs penicillin and Dalangen decoction to save people. At the same time, he hurriedly mobilized pure penicillin drugs from the Daqingshan base to various epidemic areas.

On the afternoon of June 10, the first batch of 50 selected patients finally had an effect after three days of treatment. Over the course of 3 days, the 50 patients were treated with 9 sessions of penicillin. By the evening of the 10th, the temperature of the fifteen patients who had just become ill began to drop, their heads did not hurt much, and their faces finally looked bloody.

The condition of the other 15 patients who were sick for 7 to 10 days also improved, and after receiving treatment, although the condition of these 15 patients was very bad, their body temperature did not rise, and some people with good physical fitness even improved.

However, the condition of the patient who had been ill for more than 2 weeks was still very bad, and although he was treated with penicillin drugs, there was little improvement, which shook Chen Feng's confidence again. Although today's all-day test has proved that penicillin drugs are effective against plague, according to Wu Liande's combination of Chinese and Western medicine, there is still great hope that patients in the early and middle stages of the disease will be cured.

However, for patients with a duration of more than 15 days of illness and low physical fitness, this approach does not seem to be very effective. If this is the case, although some people can be saved, those who have been ill for a long time may have to wait for death.

However, now in Zhangjiakou alone, there are more than 8,000 patients who have been infected for more than 15 days, plus patients in other places, this number must be more than 10,000, and Chen Feng can't do it when he sees more than 10,000 people dying, and more than 6,000 people have died before that.

On June 12, as a vehicle carrying penicillin drugs was speeding down the road between Xinghe and Zhangjiakou, Chen Feng received the terrible news that Claire was sick.

The news was sent by the Xinghe Garrison Brigade in Xuanhua, and it turned out that after learning that there was also an epidemic in Xuanhua, Claire took a few guards given to him by Chen Feng and ran to Xuanhua for on-the-spot interviews. Since Xuanhua is a new epidemic, Claire recorded the whole process from the beginning of the epidemic to its development, and also went deep into the patients to shoot interviews.

Although she wore a protective suit and a mask every time she went, because her Chinese skills were not very good, she often needed to take off her mask to talk to patients, and she was infected after coming and going, Claire began to have a fever on the night of the 11th, and by the morning of the 12th, she fell into a semi-coma. Although he was resuscitated and penicillin was also taken, his condition did not improve.

Chen Feng immediately ordered the Xinghe Garrison Brigade to immediately send Claire back to Zhangjiakou, and at the same time summoned Hu Jishi and Field for a consultation.

After diagnosis, Claire is in a bad condition, partly because she is infected with the plague, and the germs are eating away at her health. On the other hand, Claire was so tired during this time that even if there was no plague, I am afraid that she would have a serious illness. Taken together, Claire's condition is probably not much better than that of those who have been infected for more than 15 days.

Chen Feng's mood suddenly became extremely bad, and at the same time, he secretly regretted that others didn't know the identity of this woman, how could he not know. The princess of the Morgan family died in Chahar, this joke is not funny at all, and now China is really inseparable from the support of the United States, although the current dollar is far less than a few years later, but the United States is still a country that has helped China a lot.

Chen Feng secretly scolded himself for being so stupid, knowing that it was so dangerous here, he even let this woman come here, now it's okay, if this woman dies here, the consequences are really unimaginable.

As a last resort, Chen Feng had no choice but to order the convoy to speed up immediately, not to care about the Japanese fighters in the sky, and to arrive at Zhangjiakou before noon. (To be continued......)
