Chapter 450: The Epidemic Ends (Part 2)

Tang Youting handed a document to Zhou Weiying and said, "Director Zhou, this is a new list of medical staff returning. Please sign it."

Zhou Weiying nodded, put down the information in her hand, took the document and looked at it, then took the pen, and signed her name while saying, "Are you going back to Qingdao with this group of people?"

Tang Youting said: "Yes! This is how the Ministry of Health arranged it."

Zhou Weiying smiled and said, "When will you set out?"

Tang Youting said: "It's already arranged, the train will be the morning after tomorrow."

Zhou Weiying handed the signed document to Tang Youting and said, "Okay, you all have a rest tomorrow. Have fun in Harbin and buy some souvenirs to go back. This trip will be a good result."

Tang Youting took the document and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back to Qingdao first and wait for you to go back."

Zhou Weiying smiled and watched Tang Youting leave her office, and then continued to read the information. After New Year's Day in 1911, after the confirmed patients were cleared, the areas in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces that were banned were successively unblocked, and by January 10, all of them were unblocked, officially announcing the complete end of the Northeast plague.

At this time, although there are still different numbers of epidemic patients in various epidemic prevention camps in various places that need to be treated, the epidemic prevention camps cannot be cancelled. However, since there are no new patients for a long time, the medical staff required has also been greatly reduced. The Ministry of Health also arranged for medical staff to evacuate from Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces in batches and return to various places for rest. It is planned that before the New Year, all medical staff will be withdrawn, and a commendation meeting for medical staff will be recruited in Qingdao, so that all medical staff can go home for the New Year. Although New Year's Day was celebrated in the Northeast, in this era, New Year's Day is far from being accepted by local residents, and the 30th lunar calendar is still the beginning of the new year. Therefore, going home for the New Year is the expectation of everyone.

Since the number of patients in the epidemic is decreasing, and medical staff have accumulated a lot of treatment experience. Therefore, the remaining treatment work is not to worry about. Zhou Weiying's work has been greatly reduced. In addition to signing some documents every day, we will sort out relevant information on this epidemic prevention and control. On the one hand, after the New Year, the East China Government will publish a book on this epidemic prevention and control to publicize the efforts made by the East China Government for this fight against the epidemic. On the other hand, Zhou Weiying has received a notice from the Ministry of Health that after the New Year, the East China Government will organize an international medical conference to introduce the experience and methods of plague prevention and control. Of course, we need to prepare relevant information now.

Zhou Weiying read a few more documents, and someone came in and said, "Director Zhou, this is the list of cremation in this period, please sign it."

Zhou Weiying hesitated for a moment, and her relaxed mood just now was wiped out. Although this period has passed, Zhou Weiying has signed a list of tens of cremated ones, every time she signs, Zhou Weiying is in a very heavy mood, because every name on it represents a vivid life disappearing. There are more than 1,000 epidemic patients in Harbin, and there are nearly 3,000 epidemic patients in the entire Northeast, and there are about 800 severely ill patients, so a new cremation list will appear later.

Thinking of this, Zhou Weiying sighed softly, signed her name on the list, and handed it to the person who came. However, Zhou Weiying also comforted herself in her heart. No matter what, the final result of this epidemic is still much better than in the old time and space.

So far, for more than three months of the outbreak, the official figure released by the East China Government is that 102,167 patients with the epidemic were 23,185 deaths, with a mortality rate of 22.6%. In the old time and space, the epidemic lasted for nearly half a year. The official did not announce the total number of patients, and the death figure was only a general 60,000. However, according to the mortality rate of about 50% of the plague in the old time and space, the epidemic should be between 120,000 and 130,000. Of course, the official figure of more than 60,000 deaths is also questionable. Some people speculate that the death toll should be around 100,000, so the patients should be around 200,000.

But no matter which number is more correct in the old time and space, the epidemic results in this era are obviously much better. After all, the elders have enough experience in preventing the epidemic, and at the same time have developed drugs such as antibiotics and serum, so it can indeed be regarded as a great success.

Although some public opinion still questioned the results of the East China Government's anti-epidemic efforts, at the national level, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy and Austria and other countries congratulated the East China Government through diplomatic channels. After all, such major events are at most slightly exaggerated at the national level, but it is impossible to make large-scale fraud. Moreover, from the previous style of the East China Government's behavior, the authenticity is very great. At the same time, some countries or organizations conveyed to the East China Government, hoping to have sufficient exchanges with the East China Government and understand the East China Government's anti-epidemic methods.

Although it had been more than 650 years since the Black Death, the catastrophe that took away 25 million European lives left a deep impression on Europe that has left a deep impression on Europe that many Europeans are still tempted when talking about plague. Therefore, the prevention and control of plague is still a key research subject in the European medical community. This time, the East China Government took only more than three months to completely wipe out the plague with a range of more than 1 million square kilometers, with only more than 100,000 people infected, and the mortality rate was controlled at about 22%. In this era, it can be said to be a miracle. The medical communities of various countries will naturally hope to understand the East China Government's epidemic prevention and control methods.

After discussion, the East China Government decided to simply organize an international medical conference to invite all countries in this era to participate, and to fully introduce the East China Government's methods of epidemic prevention and control to the world. Taking this opportunity to show the achievements of the East China Government's construction, a civilized society, and expand the international influence of the East China Government. The time is set in April to May after the New Year, and it has sent invitations to all countries in this era.

The patients in the epidemic prevention camp have recovered one after another. Of course, Zhou Weiying also signed several cremation lists, and medical staff left Heilongjiang and Jilin in batches. Originally, Zhou Weiying arrived at the 18th, and all the patients in Jilin recovered from the epidemic prevention camp, and all the medical staff were evacuated. On the 26th, the last batch of epidemic patients in Heilongjiang Province were cured and left the camp. Therefore, Zhou Weiying and the last batch of medical staff left Harbin on the 28th, took a train, and embarked on the way home.

On the return train, the atmosphere was much easier than when we arrived. Zhou Weiying, Zhao Fanxue, Liu Xueming, Parotini, Wu Liande and other last group of evacuated veteran medical staff sat together and talked about their experiences over the past three months, and each of them was filled with emotion.

It turned out that Zhou Weiying had long wanted to arrange Wu Liante to return to Qingdao, but Wu Liante insisted on staying. Zhou Weiying was not immune to the strength of the last group. Although Wu Liante did not have as much experience as the veterans, he was a medical doctor at the University of Cambridge in the UK. In this era, this was the highest medical degree in medicine, and it also made Wu Liante have a modern consciousness. In addition, Wu Liante was not old and accepted fresh affairs quickly. Therefore, Wu Liante could quickly accept many medical concepts proposed by the veterans. On the one hand, Wu Liante was shocked by the veterans' rich medical knowledge and advanced medical theories; on the other hand, he also learned a lot of useful knowledge from it, and felt that he benefited a lot.

Moreover, during this epidemic prevention period, Wu Lien-Te played a role that was not inferior to that of the veterans. He always worked on the front line and was recognized by the veterans. He was indeed a capable and practical person.

Zhao Fanxuedao: "Doctor Wu, the epidemic has ended now. What are your plans to return to Qingdao this time!"

After more than three months of experience, Wu Lien-te's Chinese level has greatly improved. Although he still has some inaccurate pronunciation, there is no problem with normal communication. Therefore, after listening to Zhao Fanxue's question, Wu Lien-te said: "I hope to stay in Qingdao to work, continue to work with you, treat diseases and save lives in Qingdao, and witness the revival of China together."

Zhou Weiying smiled and said, "We are now in need of someone like Mr. Wu. During this epidemic, Mr. Wu's work is obvious to all. Therefore, Mr. Wu is willing to stay in Qingdao to work, and we are very welcome!"

Liu Xueming also said: "Yes, we all hope Mr. Wu can stay. I think after Mr. Wu settles down in Qingdao, he will simply take over his family and settle his family in Qingdao."

Wu Liande also laughed and said, "I really have such a plan. I will tell you that I have worked with you for more than three months. Although it is hard and dangerous, I can cure diseases and save people, do my best for the country and the people, and live up to my desire to return to China. Although I was born in Nanyang, I never forget my hometown for a moment. If I can return to my roots, I can also confirm my parents' wishes."

Although they have not worked together for a long time, Wu Lien-teh also felt the vitality and hope of the East China Government, and deeply realized that the East China Government is a responsible government that values ​​the people, and has proved that it is not wrong to hear about it in Nanyang. The East China Government is indeed much better than the Qing court. Therefore, under the governance of the East China Government, China also has great hope of becoming prosperous and civilized. Although Wu Lien-teh was born in Nanyang, there is still a very strong Chinese plot. It is of course a comfortable thing to be able to do under such a government. Wu Lien-teh is indeed seriously considering the matter of returning to China to settle down.

Zhou Weiying said: "If Mr. Wu is really willing to return to China to settle down, we will certainly welcome him. We also ask Mr. Wu to rest assured that we will definitely settle Mr. Wu's family without any worries."
