Chapter 60: The Plague Transmission Chain
After the meal, the tableware was removed and three cups of tea were served, and Mo Qing officially entered the theme that Lord Wei wanted to know - the plague transmission chain.
Lord Wei listened attentively, and Jingmo also looked at Mo Qing.
Mo Qing thought about his thoughts for a while, sorted out the measures, and thought about how to say this.
"My lord, do you know how the plague spreads in general?" Mo Qing threw out a question.
Master Wei thought for a moment and replied: "Person-to-person contact, as well as items that come into close contact with patients, can be transmitted. ”
Mo Qing nodded, "That's right, since adults know that intimate contact items can also spread the plague, then the same is true of the patient's excrement, and even because it is excreted from the patient's body, the danger contained in it is actually stronger than the intimate clothing and utensils used." ”
Master Wei felt that it made sense, but he also had questions: "But this ...... This excrement ...... People don't come into contact with it, so how can they infect people? "No one is going to touch that.
"But just because you don't have contact doesn't mean you can't be contagious." Mo Qing's expression became solemn.
Jing Mo turned his head to look at her, this theory was originally talked to Mo Qing with the teacher, and he didn't quite agree with her remarks at that time, but after getting along these days, he found that Mo Qing was not a person without a purpose.
In the early days when the lower room was taken over, the toilet problem had not yet received attention, and there were indeed many new patients.
Under the decree of mask and isolation contact, no one should violate the regulations, but in this way, there will still be palace maids and eunuchs who strictly enforce defense in the east hall to be infected. At first, it could be explained by the incubation period of the disease, but later it was found that the incubation period of the plague was extremely short, and if someone had a fever the day before yesterday, other close contacts would inevitably be inevitable the next day, which made the transmission chain not too long and wide, and the spread was well controlled.
It was isolated in time, but from time to time people were infected in the East Temple, which was strictly anti-epidemic, which made the transmission route weird.
The sick and close contacts were guarded in the other three halls at an early age, so how did those who had no contact with the disease at all get infected?
It wasn't until Mo Qingshun touched the melons and asked about the traces one by one, and finally caught a point, there are no patients in the east hall and there is a big toilet room for the critically ill in the north hall!
They are separated from people, so they don't let people have common contact, and they can't go to the toilet in the same room at the same time, but there is no prohibition that they can't go to the same toilet! Some of the little eunuchs who were anxious to urinate inevitably couldn't wait to run away, so they went to the pit near the north hall where someone had passed the toilet, and they were recruited.
The East Hall immediately asked the Construction Division to rebuild an independent toilet room, which stopped the bizarre chain of infection in the East Temple, and there were no new patients in the East Hall in the past two days.
"Wrong, you can be infected without contact, this Jingmo Lord has a personal experience." Mo Qing looked at Jingmo with a smile.
This Jingmo, at first, didn't believe that she could find the source, and she didn't find out yet, but she was very proud, but it was thanks to the teaching of modern virus sociology.
Jingmo pursed his lips and smiled lightly, he is good at curing diseases and saving people, but when it comes to these subtle reconnaissance abilities, this girl has to be good at it.
"The toilets in the northeast hall, even if the infected people are not inside, after the healthy eunuchs go to the toilet, there are also unfortunate people who are infected with the disease, and it has been verified that it is indeed a toilet problem, and the plague can be transmitted without direct contact with the patient and the patient's related substances." Jingmo bowed his head and explained to Lord Wei.
"No wonder, presumably the special envoy let the dung head of the manure transport let the excrement be transported to the suburbs of Beijing for burial, and not allowed to be used as fertilizer, for fear of harming the safety of the farmers." After listening to all his thoughts, Lord Wei said, "Then won't this dung carrier be affected?" Isn't this feces also a close contact, and isn't there a risk of infection? ”
Mo Qing nodded, "So in order to prevent the residual toxic effects of feces, for the sake of safety, I also had people sprinkle quicklime and water for high-temperature disinfection before cleaning up, and at the same time wear masks to avoid air pollution." ”
"Masks? Can masks prevent infection? Speaking of which, the official remembers that the envoy has a rule that says that masks can prevent the plague from entering the body through the mouth and nose and can isolate the route of infection, so you must wear a mask when entering and exiting the lower room in the palace, and you must not enter without a mask.
Even if he had just had a meal with the official, the envoy kept a distance from the meal, and immediately put it back after the meal, and the official Guan Lu Yuan judged the same, so it can be seen that wearing this thing is indeed your daily behavior, so why is it still infected if you wear this thing into the toilet? ”
Lord Wei raised another question, saying that masks can isolate infection, so isn't it okay to wear a mask in the same toilet room when going to the toilet?
Mo Qing was about to applaud Lord Wei, such a keen mind, Jing Mo only knew that there was such a logical loophole after she reminded her afterwards.
"Ahem," Mo Qing coughed embarrassedly, "What, in addition to the way of the mouth and nose, there is actually another ...... for this plague to spread to the human body."
Seeing this, Jingmo thought of what she had said, turned her eyes away unnaturally, and picked up her teacup and drank it with her head down.
Lord Wei listened attentively: "Oh? Special Envoy, please. ”
"Anal urethra!" Mo Qing quickly finished speaking.
Lord Wei was stunned, looking at Mo Qing with an indifferent face, as if it was not her who had just spoken.
"What?" Lord Wei said that he may not have heard clearly, but he heard it wrong, right?
Mo Qing's ears turned red, and he repeated loudly: "Anal urethra!" ”
"Poof-cough-cough-cough......" Jingmo didn't hold back this time, and squirted out a mouthful of hot tea.
"I'm sorry...... cough cough cough cough ...... Really...... At...... Sorry...... cough cough cough ...... "Jingmo's posture felt like he was going to cough until he was old, Mo Qing couldn't help but beat him on the back, and vigorously hammered him twice, and sneered at him in retaliation.
Jing Mo felt amused, and he really looked at Lord Wei's blank expression, which made him wonder if he was so stunned and stupid after listening to it at that time.
Lord Wei cracked, the feelings just heard right, it's really these four words!
After relieving the lethality of these four words coming out of the little girl's mouth, Lord Wei's expression gradually became serious.
He suddenly realized that this was a new clue!
