Chapter 435: Plague (7)
Starting from Chenyang, after another day of itinerary, I finally arrived at the end of this trip, Harbin. This trip took a total of 3 and a half days. In this era, this is already a very fast speed
Heilongjiang Governor Wang Sheng, Harbin Mayor Zhong Xiaohui, Heilongjiang Provincial Health Bureau head Lin Jiayi, Fu Kezhuang and other officials welcomed the arrival of Zhou Weiying and his team at Harso Railway Station.
Everyone met, Wang Shengdao: "Director Zhou, you are so grateful to you when you came to Harbin in this dangerous time."
Zhou Weiying said: "Governor Wang, you have to be welcome, these are what we should do."
Wang Shengdao: "Your dormitory has been arranged. Get off the car and get ready for a good rest. We have prepared a welcome banquet tonight."
Zhou Weiying nodded and said, "Of course it's time to settle down first, but dinner is as simple as it's not necessary to make it so grand. There's no need to be welcomed for the banquet. Now the epidemic in Harbin is very serious, so we should hurry up and start our work."
Wang Sheng smiled and said, "Director Zhou, work is of course important, but there is no hurry at this moment. Moreover, you are risking huge risks to come from Qingdao to Harbin, which represents the Executive Yuan’s concern and support for us. We should naturally express our gratitude, so we must attend this welcome banquet, so there is no need to refuse any more."
Zhou Weiying also smiled bitterly, knowing that this was impossible to push, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but there is still time before dinner. After settling down, I will immediately understand the epidemic situation in Harbin and related information. Please arrange personnel here to cooperate."
Wang Sheng hurriedly said: "Of course, Director Lin, you must report the epidemic situation in Harbin City in detail to President Zhou."
Lin Jiayi hurriedly said, "Yes."
Wang Sheng said again: "Let's go, go to the dormitory first, settle down before talking."
So everyone followed Wang Sheng and others out of the train station. At this time, a car was waiting in front of the train station and took the medical team and the guesthouse. Here, a room had been arranged for everyone. The elders and Wu Liande were both single rooms, and the others and the guards were two people. The rooms were cleaned very clean, and the bed sheets and quilt covers were replaced with brand new ones, and there was a faint smell of alcohol, which was obviously disinfected.
After Zhou Weiying and others settled down, they arranged a room in the guesthouse, and all the veterans and Wu Liande listened to Lin Jiayi and Fu Kezhuang to report on the epidemic situation of Harbin.
At this time, the epidemic has entered a period of expansion, and the number of confirmed cases increased by more than 2,000 per day. Therefore, to this day, the accumulated confirmed cases have reached 6,945, and 2,768 deaths; 4,177 patients with confirmed cases, 3,561 suspected patients, 8,747 isolated people, and 78 cured; and Harbin's epidemic data are: 3,715 accumulated confirmed cases, 1,512 deaths, 2,203 existing, 1,689 suspected patients, 5,124 isolated people, 35 cured, and 55 isolated streets and areas, basically accounting for more than 50% of the total data. And just yesterday, Harbin's city had confirmed cases, 1,126 confirmed cases, and 375 deaths.
In addition to Harbin, the most serious place is Manzhouli, with 1,624 confirmed patients, 712 deaths, 912 existing patients, 752 suspected patients, 2,234 isolated people, 12 cured, and 21 isolated street areas. The two cities account for about 70%. Therefore, as long as the epidemic in these two cities is controlled, the epidemic in the Northeast can be basically controlled.
Since the number of patients with confirmed symptoms and suspected patients has far exceeded the capacity of Harbin's hospital, the Health Bureau set up epidemic prevention camps in other places three days ago to specially accommodate plague patients. However, the biggest problem now is the serious shortage of medical staff. Although the Health Bureau has solicited some private doctors to help, it can only be avoided to deal with it now.
Zhou Weiying then looked up several cases of patients, basically all of whom had a fever first, then coughed, and finally vomited blood and died. At the same time, the deceased's skin was covered with purple-black spots, which were very obvious plague symptoms. The treatment of patients was mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine, and the prescriptions were basically Chinese herbal medicines such as clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing fever, and harmonizing. Frankly speaking, it was not the right medicine. However, in this era, whether it was traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there was indeed no special medicine for plague. It mainly relies on the patient's own constitution to resist the virus. Now the cured patients are people with good physical fitness.
After reading a few cases, Zhou Weiying put down the document and asked: "Have you found out the source of the virus?"
Fu Kezhuang frowned and said, "During this period, we dissected more than 150 mice, marmots, weasels and other animals, but no plague virus was found in these animals."
According to the experience of this era, plague is mainly viruses carried by mice. In addition, animals such as marmots and weasels are also carried, and are transmitted to the human body through direct contact with the human body, or through other media such as fleas and mosquitoes. Therefore, once plague occurs, the usual experience is to kill mice, marmots, weasels and other animals in a large number of ways to prevent the source of plague.
Zhou Weiying said again: "So have the body been dissected for examination?"
Lin Jiayi was stunned and said a little embarrassedly: "The medical conditions here are limited, and the symptoms of plague are very obvious, so no autopsy is performed."
Zhou Weiying didn't say anything after hearing this. In fact, although the conditions in the local area are a little worse, it is still possible to perform a simple autopsy. Lin Jiayi and Fu Kezhuang don't want to be too much. After all, in this era, dissecting the human body is under considerable pressure. It turns out that according to the regulations of the East China Government, in provincial capital cities, the medical department should have 2-3 veterans to preside over the leadership of the medical department to build a complete medical system in the local area. Lin Jiayi and Fu Kezhuang were both doctors who were on board the passenger ship, not doctors in the army, and their business capabilities are limited. After coming to this era, there was no systematic learning and improvement. They were completely in charge of the Heilongjiang Provincial Health Bureau.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the two of them have enough professional skills, but when encountering major infectious diseases such as plague, the two of them are not capable enough to deal with such complex events. When dissecting the corpse, the two of them have never done it, and the other is not trying to do it, so they did not do it. Although Zhou Weiying knew it, she did not pursue it. After all, it is not the time to pursue it. In order to prevent and fight the epidemic later, the assistance of these two people is needed. After all, they know better about the local situation.
Zhou Weiying thought about it and said, "I will immediately generate electricity from Qingdao to ask for support. I believe Qingdao will solve it as soon as possible. However, if the body is dissected and the condition must be carried out immediately. Tomorrow we will go to the epidemic prevention camp to conduct autopsy in the afternoon. You can arrange it, I will dissect one by myself. Director Liu, you can also dissect one. After all, one sample is not enough."
Liu Xueming nodded and said, "Okay."
At this time, Wu Lien-te said: "Director Zhou, I have studied autopsy in the UK, so I want to solve one, and of course the more samples, the better."
Zhou Weiying nodded and said, "Okay, the three of us are responsible for dissection of the body. Everyone must pay attention to safety."
Zhou Weiying was stunned and said, "Tang Youting, Parrotini, you are responsible for preparing the equipment. After the dissection is completed, the samples will be inspected immediately. Director Lin and Director Fu, you have prepared the body and the room for dissection."
Lin Jiayi and Fu Kezhuang hurriedly said, "Yes."
Zhou Weiying said again: "Also, we have brought 300 antibiotics and 300 serums this time, which are prepared to treat patients. Therefore, Director Lin and Director Fu, you will arrange two batches of patients, 10-12 severe and mild cases, each for injection tomorrow, and take care of these patients separately to see the effect after injection. Zhang Yuan and Zhao Fanxue, this work will be done by you. First, only 50% of the dose is injected, and relevant records are kept."
Since there were no antibiotics in this era, serum was extracted by the East China government using modern technology, and the dosage was also a reference standard before traveling. However, there were still considerable differences in the human body quality in this era and people before traveling. Although antibiotics and serum are the best medicine to deal with this virus, the specific use still requires slow exploration and testing. Therefore, when the patient was injected for the first time, Zhou Weiying chose to use protection, first injecting only half of the dose, observe the effect, and then adjusting.
At this time, Tang Youting continued: "We have to arrange a room, preferably with the anatomy room. We need to install equipment and prepare two generators."
After the report, Lin Jiayi and Fu Kezhuang did not dare to neglect. The two immediately divided the work. Lin Jiayi rushed to the epidemic prevention camp to prepare, and Fu Kezhuang went to the hospital to arrange an autopsy and equipment room. After Zhou Weiying and other veterans negotiated, they immediately generated electricity to Qingdao, indicating that the medical power in the Northeast region is insufficient now and asked Qingdao to support a group of medical personnel as soon as possible.
Before the afternoon welcome dinner, the medical team received a telegram from Qingdao. First, the Executive Yuan agreed to the medical team's suggestion to temporarily stop railways, roads and other traffic between Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces and other provinces, and cut off the route of the epidemic. At the same time, it also told the medical team that 200 medical personnel would be dispatched from Tianjin to support the Northeast, and set out tomorrow morning and expected to arrive in Harbin the day after tomorrow. The medical personnel who would subsequently support would also be sent out one after another.
Zhou Weiying was relieved. After seeing Wang Sheng and Zhong Xiaohui, Zhou Weiying carefully explained to them the reason why the medical team made this suggestion. After all, the medical team's suggestions were equivalent to a comprehensive blockade of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, which had a serious impact on the society and economy of these two provinces. Therefore, of course, it is necessary to explain it clearly to the two. After all, in the past, to control and fight the epidemic, Heilongjiang Province and Harbin City needed full cooperation.
