Chapter 941: The Panic Captain (2)
The captain closed his eyes, not wanting to look at the image that kept shaking in front of his eyes, which would make him even more dizzy.
"Comrade Wang, what do you think the possibility is that it is a plague?"
Wang Xiulan didn’t want to deceive him. “Although I haven’t seen the patient, I can tell from the barefoot doctor’s description that this disease is highly contagious.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many patients in one family.
Even if it is ultimately determined not to be a plague, it is still a highly contagious influenza, and is extremely dangerous.”
In order to attract the captain's attention, Wang Xiulan added,
“Captain, you know the effect of the medicine Xiaoxue made before.
However, such a good medicine did not completely cure the patient, but the condition recurred repeatedly.
I think the medicine is not suitable for the condition. If we want to completely cure it, we need to do some research and develop a medicine that is suitable for the condition."
When the captain heard that even the medicine Liu Jingxue had prepared before was no longer effective, he became even more anxious.
Xiaoxue’s medicine cannot cure the disease, and there is no hope of relying on medicine from above. What should their production team do then?
Perhaps worried that the captain was too anxious, confused, and at a loss, Zou Lao hurried to comfort him.
"Don't worry too much. Judging from the current situation, although the disease is highly contagious, it is not fatal.
Otherwise, in all these days, there wouldn’t be anyone dying of illness in our production team, not even seriously ill.
If someone was really seriously ill, I'm afraid someone would have found Xiulan long ago."
"But these days, no one has come to our place to ask Xiulan to see a doctor.
Even the patients' families didn't take it too seriously.
If the barefoot doctor hadn’t found that too many people came to get medicine and was worried that the clinic didn’t have enough medicine, so he found Xiaoxue and asked her to make more medicine, we wouldn’t have known that so many people in the production team were sick. "
The captain felt relieved when he heard this. This was good news.
He calmed himself down and said, "Then I will take Comrade Wang to visit the sick villager's home later."
But before that, he had to go to the clinic first to look at the account book of medicines received during this period, otherwise he would not know which villagers had patients.
The captain is also impatient and wants to get accurate information quickly.
"How about we set off now?" he asked Wang Xiulan who was sitting diagonally opposite him.
Without waiting for Wang Xiulan to answer, Zou Lao quickly stopped him and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. There's no need to rush.
We have to think about what to do if it is really a plague and come up with countermeasures."
“Yes, yes, we have to think of measures before we can act.
Otherwise, once the news is confirmed and leaked out, it will cause panic among the villagers and it will be a mess." "Old Wu also said quickly.
Upon hearing this, the captain stopped his plan to get off the kang and put on his shoes.
"Commander," the captain was anxious and called out the previous title.
"I'm just a rough guy, I've never experienced a plague, I don't have any experience at all.
You asked me to think of any countermeasures, but I have no idea at all."
"Everyone here knows more than me, so just give me a hand and teach me what to do," the captain said sincerely to everyone.
“Especially Comrade Wang, you are a doctor and you should know how to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
Please teach me."
Everyone invited the team leader to help the production team survive this disaster.
Therefore, they did not intend to make things difficult for the captain. After the captain asked for help, they informed him of all the arrangements that had been discussed early in the morning.
Notify each household not to visit each other, but to stay indoors like they are hibernating. It is essential for each household to disinfect with mugwort, lime and alcohol.
Of course, the country people don’t have alcohol, but fortunately this is Cangzhou, and there is good wine. If there is no alcohol, it can be replaced with strong liquor.
Wang Xiulan carefully explained the various disinfection methods. Liu Weihua found paper and pen and took careful notes so that he could let the team leader take her away later.
It is also recommended that those villagers who are already sick be gathered together for centralized treatment and management.
After all, this disease is so contagious. If we leave them at home without anyone to supervise them, they will run around and spread the virus to other people, which would be bad.
Even the patients' families, although they are not sick now, have been with them day and night for so long that they must be carrying the virus and need centralized management.
The fact that these people were not infected shows that they have good physical fitness and strong resistance. After wearing masks, gloves and disinfecting frequently, they can help take care of patients.
After these patients and their family members who are already infected with the virus are gathered together, there must be someone to guard the place where they live to prevent them from going out at will.
The guards must be strong and must wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves.
Moreover, it is best for these people to work in shifts. After finishing their shifts, they should not return home to live, but live with other guards, which can also be considered as isolation.
This is also for the consideration of these people's families, to prevent them from transmitting the virus to their families.
Regarding these suggestions, in addition to Liu Weihua helping to record them, the team leader also kept them in mind.
When he heard that the patients and their families would be managed centrally, he was a little hesitant.
“If we gather those patients together, they will think we are going to abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves.
What if they get the news and run around, spreading the virus?"
The word "virus" is a new term that the captain learned when he was listening to the story just now.
Zou explained, "We gathered these people together and did not let them stay at home. Firstly, we did not want them to wander around and spread the virus, and secondly, we wanted to better treat them.
Everyone knew the situation of the production team, and only Xiulan knew medical skills.
If the patients lived in different houses, she would have to run from house to house, and she would have wasted a lot of time on the road.
Moreover, since she was in contact with patients, even if she took protective measures, she could not avoid being infected with the virus.
If she wandered around the production team again, she would spread the virus.
Therefore, it is better to gather the patients together for treatment.”
"Xiaoxue wants to develop a medicine for the symptoms, and she also needs patients as a reference, right?
If they were dispersed to different households, she would have to run around, and there would be a risk of the virus spreading.”
Liu Jingxue agreed, "If a patient suddenly develops an emergency, we can gather them together and avoid having to notify everyone back and forth and go to each family to find my aunt, which would delay the treatment time.
Captain, if you explain it clearly to the villagers, they should be able to understand.
After all, no one wants to delay treatment because of wasting time. "
The captain thought about it carefully and felt that if he explained it patiently to the villagers, everyone would be able to accept it.
After all, except for a few special families, most of the families in the production team have lived here for generations. Over the years, each family has become more or less related, and everyone knows that no one will easily give up on any family.
And the explanation just now does make sense.
