Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the fog gathered from the surrounding mountains and forests shrouded the entire Qingshan Town after the disaster.

Gu Yanan and Lu Li carried disinfectant on their backs to spray around the tent in the temporary living area to disinfect the environment.

The direction of the temporary tent area is quite south, but there is a foul smell in the shady direction.

Lu Li frowned while spraying disinfectant, "Someone defecates here, it stinks, how can there be people living around here, we have to build a public toilet quickly." ”

Gu Yanan looked up at the river not far from the tent area, very worried.

The original choice to set up a temporary tent area in this vacant land next to the Yudai River outside the town was mainly due to the problem of water sources, but now it seems that it is more important to solve the problem of fecal pollution.

Gu Yanan immediately contacted the person in charge of the Qingshan Town Earthquake Emergency Command Team, and after discussion, decided to build a simple public toilet near the temporary tent area.

The construction plan was also quickly discussed, and outside the tent area, more than 30 meters away from the river bank, a pit was dug for anti-seepage treatment, disinfectant, and a tent was erected as a temporary public toilet.

Several fighters acted urgently, and the public toilets were well built.

After solving the toilet matter, Gu Yanan and Lu Li continued to disinfect the environment at various locations in Qingshan Town.

Rescue operations are still ongoing, and fighters have rescued many survivors from under the rubble, many more exhumed bodies.

The bodies were piled up in several morgues, and a corpse truck pulled the bodies out of Qingshan Town for collective burial.

Looking at the piles of corpses, everyone was in shock and grief.

Gu Yanan and Lu Li focused on environmental disinfection near the morgue.

There was a stench around the morgue, and the stench of corpses had begun to form.

Looking at the busy crowd near the morgue, Gu Yanan frowned slightly.

Lu Li also found a problem, "How can you deal with corpses like this?" This bundle is also too irregular, and the corpse water that flows out can easily pollute the environment, and if there is any infectious disease, it will spread at this time. ”

Lu Li looked at Gu Yanan beside him, "Sister Yanan, do you want to go over and demonstrate the correct way to bind the corpse?" ”

"A must."

Lu Li and Gu Yanan were wearing white protective clothing for disinfection, which was very eye-catching in the crowd, Lu Li took the initiative to go up to greet the staff who handled the corpse, and after a brief exchange, they began to demonstrate correctly.

"After the body is packed in a body bag, it has to be tied three times, and the head, waist, and legs ......," Lu Li explained and demonstrated.

Lu Li was demonstrating here, when suddenly a doctor in a white coat hurriedly ran over and shouted to Gu Yanan from a distance: "Director Gu, it's not good, there's an accident on the medical tent." ”

The visitor's face was anxious, Gu Yanan's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

The doctor who ran over panted, "Just ...... A patient was sent just now, he has very severe diarrhea, we suspect that it is infectious diarrhea, and we want your disease control to deal with it. ”

Somebody has diarrhea, and it's very severe, which is not a good sign.

Gu Yanan and Lu Li hurried back to the medical tent with the doctor who reported the news.

——

Castle Peak Township, inside a medical tent near a temporary settlement.

A middle-aged man in his 40s was lying weakly on a hospital bed.

The man's face was haggard, his cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, and he was extremely dehydrated at first glance.

Several doctors gathered around the bed, their faces heavy.

Nan Zhiqiao had already arrived early and was checking on the patient's condition at the bedside.

Gu Yanan and Lu Li approached and heard Nan Zhiqiao talking to the patient.

"What have you eaten lately?"

"It's nothing special, it's all the food and water you gave to the victims, and I can't eat anything else, doctor, what's wrong with me? Is there a problem with the food distributed to the victims? ”

The patient vomited and diarrhea, and was already sick and weak, but he did not forget to ask the reason.

Nan Zhiqiao didn't answer, and continued to ask, "When did you start to have diarrhea?" ”

"Just this morning, yesterday was fine......"

Before the patient could finish speaking, there was a sudden "poof" sound from under him.

A large amount of thin water overflows from under the patient.

"I ...... I couldn't help it...... Pull the bed up. "The patient was a little embarrassed.

The nurse was about to clean the hospital bed, but Nan Zhiqiao stopped her, "Do a good job of protective measures and then clean up." ”

The little nurse was stunned, "Is it really an infectious disease?" ”

Lu Li's attention was completely focused on the thin water stool in the hospital bed, watery feces, like a ball of rice swill.

"Rice swill! This is cholera?! Lu Li exclaimed.

Nan Zhiqiao and Gu Yanan's faces did not change, and the two of them had already made a judgment in their hearts when they saw the patient's symptoms.

The patient was frightened by Lu Li's tone.

"Cholera? What is cholera? Is it serious? ”

"Cholera is the second disease, you say serious is not serious."

"What's Disease No. 2?"

"Plague is disease number one, cholera is disease number two, and the power of the two is about the same."

"The plague I know, will kill many people of the plague, cholera...... Oh my God, cholera as bad as the plague...... Doctor, help! "The patient was frightened.

Lu Li: "Don't be afraid, it's not diagnosed yet, and cholera can also be cured, you discovered it early, you can definitely be cured, but I'm afraid that it will be contagious, and it won't be good if it spreads." ”

Seeing the patient's worried and nervous look, Lu Li deliberately comforted him.

The patient's specimen was divided into two parts, one sent to the W Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention for testing, and the other for direct on-site testing.

The experimental conditions in the earthquake-stricken area were simple, and only some basic examinations could be done, and the most basic microscopes were still available.

Microscopic observation of the patient's feces reveals swarms of bacteria swimming in arcs, like schools of fish.

Arc-shaped bacteria like schools of fish, which is typical of Vibrio cholerae.

The preliminary judgment was cholera.

Treatment of the patient is initiated according to the protocol for the treatment of cholera, with hydration and fluids to fight infection.

To prevent transmission to others, the medical tent in which the patient was placed was quarantined.

Doctors began to treat the patient, and the disease control team began to conduct a flow of patients.

What is the route of infection in this first-time patient? Where is the source of infection? On the other hand, look to see if there are any new cases of cholera among the surrounding population.

Nan Zhiqiao divided the disease control team in Qingshan Town into two groups, one group was led by Nan Zhiqiao to conduct a comprehensive test of the victims in the temporary residence to see if there were symptoms of cholera such as vomiting and diarrhea; The other team, led by Gu Yanan, was responsible for investigating the infection route and source of infection of the first case.

After the assignment of work, the two teams split up.

Nan Zhiqiao's team has a large amount of tasks, but the work content is relatively simple, so the number of members assigned is relatively large, and they are basically local mobilized disease control personnel.

Gu Yanan's group has a small number of people, and there are only she, Lu Li, and two local disease control personnel with relatively high positions, so that it is convenient to mobilize the forces of all local parties when doing the investigation.

Nan Zhiqiao arranged it this way, and he also knew that Gu Yanan was very professional in flow investigation, and he had dealt with several major epidemics before, and he had done a very good job.
