211, Plague
"Can't? Didn't you say that these medicines can solve our urgent needs? Why can't we cure the plague? ”
Hu Dazhi was stunned, his heart seemed to be thrown into the clouds, and he smashed to the ground with a bang, and he fell to the ground with a chirp.
Xia Ning explained, "I mean these are not miracle cures, it is impossible to save everyone, and now we don't have a doctor to diagnose and treat them, and we can't figure out the specific symptoms on their bodies."
Even if they are all infected with the plague, they will show slightly different conditions due to different constitutions and other reasons, so you can't confuse everyone.
The medical supplies I brought are more about prevention and mitigation, and there is no 100% guarantee that they can cure the disease, and they have to be prescribed according to each person's symptoms. ”
Are you kidding? There are some promises that cannot be taken lightly.
Even in the modern outbreak of large-scale viral infection, under such advanced medical standards, there are still cases of death, let alone ancient times.
What's more, she is not a professional doctor, so she can't make a diagnosis!
When Xia Ning was writing before, there was a plot involving smallpox infection in ancient times, so she also checked a lot of information, and she found that the 'epidemic in ancient times' included all kinds of infectious diseases, and the people called it plague.
The most well-known of these are plague and smallpox, which were also extremely high in mortality due to the low level of medical care in ancient times.
The symptoms of the plague that Mai Dong heard about before were cough and hemoptysis, although the information was not very comprehensive, but according to the information she had checked before, it could be preliminarily determined to be plague!
Because plague mostly occurs in autumn and winter, it is related to the activity of rodents and the breeding of rat fleas.
She remembered that when she was checking the information before, she saw that the plague was actually divided into three types: bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicaemic plague.
Although all three types are contagious, they have different symptoms, and only pneumonic plague has a pronounced cough.
Symptoms of pneumonic plague are high fever, polydipsia, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, hemoptysis or hemoptysis, red face, yellow tongue, and slippery pulse.
The main treatment for pneumonic plague infection is to clear away heat and detoxify, dissolve phlegm and disperse knots, cool blood and stop bleeding.
Therefore, what she bought this time was basically Chinese patent medicine from the pharmacy, as well as some Western medicines, all of which were aimed at clearing heat and detoxifying, dissolving phlegm and dispersing knots, cooling blood and stopping bleeding.
"Can it be prevented and relieved?"
Hearing this, Hu Dazhi felt that he was alive again in an instant, and the expression on his face was much lighter.
"Miss Xia, I'm really scared to death by the way you speak, and I'm too greedy, in fact, these can already work very well, it's better than no cure."
Xia Ning didn't talk nonsense, picked up a large pack of masks and handed them to Hu Dazhi, "You give everyone a mask now, this mask can effectively isolate and block the infection of the virus in the air."
To put it simply, wearing this mask, we can communicate and talk with peace of mind, and we don't have to worry about the infection of the plague, so when everyone wears masks, we will make the next arrangement. ”
At present, this environment is too dangerous, the sooner you wear a mask, the safer it is, before she was not prepared properly, so she could only let her aunt and aunt make some simple masks out, after all, the material is different, there is still a great risk.
"Masks? Is this the one you wear on your face? ”
Hu Dazhi looked at it very strangely, and when they got out of the car, he saw that their faces were covered with something like a white cloth.
But he didn't have time to ask more about the plague in his heart, so it seems that this thing called 'mask' is also related to the prevention of the plague.
It's something from overseas, but it's different.
It's no wonder that the Song family asked the guards to wear the masks they sewed, so that they could isolate the infection of the plague.
What a long insight!
"Yes, time is pressing, hurry up and let everyone bring it, my two retinues can cooperate with you." Xia Ning couldn't help urging, the role and precautions of wearing a mask, she had carefully explained it in Yaxing before, and Li Jiang and the others naturally understood it.
Now let the two of them cooperate with Hu Ling, but also want them to show their faces and become familiar with everyone in front of everyone, so as to integrate into this team as soon as possible.
"Okay, thank you so much, Miss Xia."
Hu Dazhi thanked him very sincerely, at this moment, he was extremely glad that he had made the decision he had made, and even more glad that he didn't make a move to drive people away at that time, otherwise he would really die.
With Miss Xia here, their escort team also benefited and was greatly protected.
Subsequently, Hu Dazhi immediately arranged for his subordinates to send masks, and then Li Jiang and the others were doing the answering work on the side.
For this move, of course, the team members on both sides were happy to take the mask and immediately put it on their faces, and the action was so slippery that no one needed to say a word.
After all, this is a matter of your own life and safety, can you not be active?
Especially the villagers who fled were even more moved, they really didn't expect that there would be their share, they had heard that several officials were wearing masks on their faces that could prevent the spread of the plague, and they were very envious.
But they didn't know how to make it, so they could simply use rags to cover their mouths and noses like they did.
Now, the officials actually issued each of them a very new and unique mask, which was really unexpected to them, after all, even their local county lord didn't care about their life or death.
"Thank you~"
"Bodhisattva bless! Sir, you are really a good person. ”
"Thank you."
The messenger who distributed the masks did not take credit, "If you want to thank Miss Xia, these are all epidemic prevention supplies she brought from overseas, this thing is amazing, it's amazing!" I'll let those two little brothers tell you more about it later. ”
"Miss Xia?"
"Who is Miss Xia?"
"Is she also a prisoner in your escort team?"
"This mask is so white, it doesn't feel like it's made of fabric, that Xia girl has the ability to make such a novel thing."
The villagers who fled did not know much about the situation of the escort team, only that they were a group of criminals who had been exiled from the capital.
Hearing this, the errand couldn't help but want to say a few more words, "Miss Xia is a noble girl from overseas, do you know overseas?" It's a country that you have to cross a big, big ocean to reach.
I've heard that life in overseas countries is very prosperous and rich, and everything there is weird, anyway, it's something we've never seen here, so you also saw that big thing that runs fast, right? ”
