Chapter 152: Silves Comes Home
Silves did nothing but drink water, vomit and diarrhea, eat, vomit and diarrhea every day.
For a few days, Silves was tormented by cholera, and his whole body was in a state of confusion.
Tom gave all the grassroots leaders a reference standard,
As long as the patient can urinate normally, it means that the patient has a high probability of being able to withstand cholera.
The little bosses under his command didn't understand the basis for Tom's standard of asking them to stare at the amount of urine in the patient's lower body, and they could only force themselves to pay attention to the patient's urine output for the safety of their lives.
(The main cause of death from cholera is dehydration caused by vomiting and diarrhea, and as long as the patient receives enough saline in time, the mortality rate can be controlled below 10 percent.) )
(Cholera patients who are left unattended will basically go out of urine on the day after the onset of illness due to dehydration.) )
(The presence or absence of normal urine output is a simple but reliable criterion for determining whether a cholera patient is dehydrated.) )
Silves lay in the hospital for four or five days, and when he was discharged, not to mention the dehydration and malnutrition of normal cholera patients,
I was a little fat and swollen from drinking too much water.
Within a few days of Silves' discharge, the executives of the American Staff Federation were discharged one after another.
All of the top executives of the American Staff Federation, young men between the ages of 20 and 35, were lucky enough to survive the cholera blow with the help of adequate food and water provided by Congressman Smith.
Not only them, but all employees in Texas and Mexico have a mortality rate of less than five percent.
Tom was a little dissatisfied, and felt that the people under him must not have served the patients according to their own standards.
After a single cholera infection, the body will have immunity to cholera for one to two years.
The vast majority of people who have a single episode of cholera do not relapse until at least three years later.
After all the top executives of the American Staff Federation were discharged from the rough management of Smith Staff Hospital, they found Carl together with their hearts in their hometown, and once again expressed the intention of returning to their hometown.
Carl has also just been cured of cholera, and this cholera is very unique, which makes Carl have no intention of nostalgic for Britney.
This time, Carl did not come up with some high-sounding high-ranking members of the American Employees' Federation who forcibly left them behind, as he had done before, and directly agreed to their request to return home.
Carl also took advantage of Tom's order to directly help the senior management of the American Staff Federation to clear up the relationship, and got two train tickets to their hometown on the same day.
The first leg is a broad-gauge train ride from Smith Railroad to the Texas border,
The second leg is a standard train ride from the Vanderbilt family to the headquarters of the American Staff Federation.
The reason why Carl forcibly left them to eat white rice before was not to be asked, it must have been Tom's order.
Carl doesn't like these annoying spirits that affect his love story with Britney.
Tom asked Carl to find all sorts of reasons, and the reason why he kept Silves in Texas was that Tom wanted Silves to go through a cholera outbreak in Houston and then return to the old Yankee.
That's right, when Tom heard that there were cholera patients in Texas, he had already thought of a plan to let Silves get cholera and the whole world to do cholera.
The new type of cholera was just a germ that helped make the project more enjoyable, not the most critical part of Tom's plan.
Tom has a philosophy: that experiences can only change a person's perception, even if it is a false experience.
As long as those who witnessed it did not know whether it was true or not, they would be even more irrational than those who watched it.
In this way, Silves, along with the executives of the American Staff Federation, after experiencing a cholera outbreak in Texas, embarked on the road back to Baltimore, also known as Moore, the largest city in Maryland.
Before leaving, Tom sent Carl to give Silves three envelopes, hoping that Silves would open them again when he returned home.
And it should be opened on a specific occasion.
On the covers of the three letters read:
Open me when you get home.
Open me when you're confused.
Open me when you think of me.
Maryland is a state in the old core of the Yankees, connected by land to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.
"Woo woo woo~"
Accompanied by the whistle of a steam train, the train carrying three letters from the top of the American Staff Union and Tom took them back to their hometown and roots.
Before they got off the train, Silves and the others smelled a strange smell.
This strange smell Silves smelled many times after leaving Texas on the road, and Silves was curious about what it was?
"Two or three months, finally back."
"I don't know what they're like now, vice president."
The group stepped off the train and headed out of the train station.
And this strange smell is getting stronger and stronger.
As soon as he stepped out of the train station, the scene shocked Silves and all the executives of the American Staff Federation.
Under the cold wind of November, countless scrawny men, women and children lay on both sides of the road, waiting for death to come.
And how can you tell if they are alive?
It depends on whether their mouths and buttocks regularly squirt some fluids.
Under the influence of Vibrio cholerae, even severely dehydrated patients will eject as much of the remaining body fluid as possible.
And those dead bodies are on both sides of the road, waiting for the city clean-up team to clean up in a centralized manner.
These urban clean-up teams are the only cholera prevention and control policy made by the old Yankee government for the old Yangki area.
People in simple black clothes, pulling carriages, wandered the streets and alleys of Moore City,
When they see a person who is still and they go up and kick him a few times.
As long as the other party does not react in time enough to get their attention, they will carry the person into the carriage and pull him to the outskirts.
】
In the suburbs, there are large pits dug by Yang Jilao one after another to fill these corpses.
Silves and the senior leaders of the American Staff Federation looked at the civilians in front of them who were unknown and didn't know what to say.
Except for walking to the headquarters of the American Staff Federation, they didn't know what they were going to do now.
The headquarters of the American Staff Federation is a low-rise bungalow, and when the group returned to the headquarters, they found that the entire headquarters was deserted.
There should have been dozens of people in the headquarters, but now there were less than ten people, sitting in their seats gloomily.
After Silves came in, he looked at the deserted headquarters and the corpse road outside, and instantly understood a lot of things.
