"It's already to the south." Char said, "We're working on the plague there." ”

"How to govern?" Alicia asked, "You don't seem to have taught him healing." ”

Char smiled, "Remember the tortured girl we all saw in Steam?" ”

Alicia recalled, "It seems to be called. Marthalie? ”

"Her name is Florence Nightingale now." Char said, "It's a young girl in her twenties, the upper class of the imperial capital, and her current prestige among the Britannian military is probably greater than that of Isabel." ”

Alicia looked at him with some surprise, "What did she do?" ”

She initially wanted to go to the front, but because of her father's opposition, she had to stay in the imperial capital, and with her father's financial support, she set up a nursing home and began to fulfill her ambitions.

She has taken many measures that are ahead of her time, such as paying strict attention to the hygienic environment, strictly disinfecting all utensils, and disposing of medical waste in a timely manner.

Patient-called bells are used to set up a winch in the kitchen to deliver meals to patients.

She stressed that "anyone, regardless of creed, rich or poor, can be sheltered if they are sick.

At the same time, she taught the women what she had learned.

At first, people were suspicious of it, but as many people came out of the care facility unharmed, people gradually began to believe in Nightingale's abilities and obey her.

Later, however, she went to the Eastern Front with a team of nurses.

Due to the incomprehension of medical care and nursing care in this era, the probability of those soldiers getting out of the field hospital alive is similar to flipping a coin.

But that all changed with her arrival.

She reformed the hellish field medicine.

We will thoroughly carry out clean and hygienic work and proper nursing methods, and do not hesitate to purchase materials with our personal property.

In just four months, the mortality rate was reduced from nearly 40 per cent to 5 per cent.

Every night, she patrolled with a wind lantern in her hand, and the wounded and sick said that they seemed to see angels.

The newspapers in the imperial capital praised her as an angel on the battlefield.

It is very exciting to have a female hero in this era of oppression of women, and she is admired and admired by many people.

She became Arthur's best friend, and Arthur supported her health care reforms.

A month ago, the plague of the south appeared in the slums of the imperial capital.

Nightingale risked her personal safety and volunteered for emergency care. She was in the hospital caring for the dying patients, and many died in her arms.

The spread of the plague was finally contained.

And this time, she also followed Arthur's army to the south, where the plague and war were at its worst......"

"If she can really put an end to this plague, then she is a national hero for the whole country." Alicia said.

Char smiled and shook her head, "Do you remember what she said when you first met her?" ”

Alicia nodded.

"What are the most impressive words?"

Alicia recalled, muttering softly.

"I'm a doctor. My doctrine only taught me to save people, not to kill. ”

"In her heart, she has much firmer faith and perseverance than ordinary people." Char said with a deep look in his eyes, "Even if you are misunderstood, even if you are tortured." Even if she is on the verge of death, this perseverance has never dissipated from the bottom of her heart."

"She never cared if she could be a hero, and she didn't feel like an angel. Just to save people. ”

Alicia fell silent, and after a moment, she said, "This is the real hero." ”

"Although many people think this kind of selfless self-sacrifice is stupid, they can't deny that civilization is ultimately driven by these people." Char muttered softly.

"Can she cure the plague?" Alicia asked.

Char smiled.

"In this world, it's not just medicine that can deal with the plague......

And order. ”

Char pondered for a moment and began to talk about their approach.

"As soon as Nightingale arrived in the south, he presided over the implementation of strict spatial segregation.

The city and its suburbs are closed, it is strictly forbidden to leave the city, violators are to be put to death, and all animals that run around are killed.

The city is divided into districts, each of which is headed by a district chief.

Each street is headed by a lieutenant governor who keeps a close watch on the affairs of the street, and if he leaves the street, he is to be put to death.

On the appointed day, all people must stay at home, and those who violate it are to be put to death. ”

He looked at Alicia, "Do you think the punishment has been overdone?" ”

"Heavy punishment in troubled times, I still understand." Alicia said.

"It's actually more of a deterrent." Char said.

"The governor himself locks the door from door to door.

He took the key and gave it to the district chief; The district chief keeps the keys until the end of the quarantine period.

Rations are prepared for each family. But small wooden passages were also set up along the street leading to the houses.

This allows everyone to receive their distribution of bread and wine, without having contact with the food distributors and other residents.

Meat, fish and herbs are delivered to each house on wheels and baskets. If people have to leave their homes, they should take turns to avoid encounters.

Only the district chief, lieutenant chief, and guards can walk around the streets,

Supervision goes on and on. Guards were carried out at the entrances and exits, at the town hall and in the districts to ensure the obedience of the population and the absolute authority of the prefect, "and to guard against all confusion, theft and extortion".

An observation post was set up at each gate and several sentinels were set up at each street entrance.

Every day, the mayor inspects the area he is responsible for to see if the mayor has fulfilled his duties and whether the residents are dissatisfied. They should "monitor their (residents') movements."

Every day, the governor also went deep into the street he was responsible for, stopping in front of each house and letting all the residents show up at the window.

He called out everyone's name and learned about everyone's situation – "because of the threat of the death penalty, the inhabitants would be forced to tell the truth".

If someone does not show up at the window, the lieutenant should ask why: "This way he will easily find out if there is a dead person or a sick person who is hidden."

Everyone who is locked in such a cage, everyone who is at their respective windows, has to answer the roll call and show up when asked.

This surveillance is based on a constant registration system: the governor reports to the mayor, who reports to the mayor.

From the moment the door was locked, the role of each city resident was determined one by one.

Each person's name, age, and gender are registered.

One copy of the register is given to the district chief, one to the town hall and the other to the mayor for the daily roll call.

Everything that could be learned during the rounds – deaths, illnesses, complaints, anomalies – was recorded and relayed to the district and municipal governors.

The prefect has complete control over the treatment of medical care.

They designate a doctor to be in charge. No doctor may treat a patient, no pharmacist may dispense medicine to a patient, and no priest may visit a patient without a note from the doctor.

This is to "prevent someone from hiding an infectious disease person behind the back of a prefect or dealing with such a sick person".

Records of medical conditions should be compiled on an ongoing basis. The illness and death of each individual goes through the authorities, through the records and decisions they make.

After five or six days of quarantine, each house was cleaned and disinfected one by one.

The inhabitants of each house were to leave, and after four hours, the occupants were allowed to go home.

At the same time, the entire army in the South must strictly abide by the sanitary regulations, do not drink raw water, all water sources must be boiled, and all corpses on the battlefield must be recovered and incinerated.

At the same time, a huge infectious disease isolation hospital has been established, and all patients who are sick are transferred to the hospital through contactless means, and all patients are collected. ”

Although Alicia does not understand medicine, she understands certain principles of virus transmission.

She could see how powerful the rules were.

This enclosed, fragmented space is monitored at every turn.

In this space, everyone is embedded in a fixed position, any tiny activity is monitored, and any situation is recorded.

Power operates uniformly according to a continuous hierarchy in which everyone is constantly searched, examined, and classified, classified as living, sick, or dead, and dealt with accordingly.

"If this kind of harsh system can really be implemented, there will be no room for the plague to survive." Alicia muttered softly, "In that case, the troubles in the south should be resolved soon." ”

"Theoretically, that's true." Char said.

His eyes flickered.

"If only the trouble was the plague."
