Chapter 98 Thoughts on Epidemic Prevention

Li Mengxi couldn't help but think of ways to prevent the epidemic. After all, if it was really a plague, how could it be cured with medicines that would fill the city with people?

The key to treating the epidemic is not in treatment but in prevention.

How to prevent epidemics, this...

We have learned biology in junior high and understand what bacteria and viruses are. We also have basic health knowledge.

As for epidemic prevention policies and management methods, well, I experienced SARS when I was in elementary school.

The school was on holiday at that time, and the higher authorities issued a notice. Cards were set up in villages and villages to block roads and prohibit the circulation of people.

Li Mengxi still remembers that after the loudspeaker in the village announced the situation, the villagers used wood and nailed many roadblocks themselves, and put up roadblocks and cards at every intersection entering the village.

Then, the uncles and uncles, because the village was closed and they no longer had to go out to work, so they had a rare free time. They all wore red armbands, carried stools and placed them at the intersection, drinking tea, eating melon seeds and smoking cigarettes, sitting there all day long.

Whenever someone comes, no matter who you are, if you are from this village, you will immediately be kicked out of the small shabby houses next to the fish pond in the village and stay there for a few weeks.

If you are not from this village, please return the way you came.

If someone is acting recklessly, what do you think the digging hoe and tiger rake on the ground are for?

Thinking back, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered that when he was a child, the roadblocks that the villagers in the village had nailed up casually. Now that he thought about it, they were exactly the same as the ancient Juma. Damn it.

We Chinese people are not born as a fighting nation. We can build horses at will and coordinate with everyone as one. These are our basic attributes.

Organization and unity are important in war. People in a village are stronger than a country.

If we are not a nation good at war, who are?

Maozi? Just like Maozi’s turtle shape, he will cause trouble when he drinks. He will either hit people when he is drunk, or he will beat up bears and be eaten by bears. Is this a fighting nation? This is a bad guy, okay?

Brave, courageous in the chest, and peaceful, this is what the sword, Dan, and Qin are like.

A reckless and violent people can only be good at fighting, not war.

Thinking of his childhood events, a smile appeared on Li Mengxi's face, and he laughed as if no one was watching.

Bu Bu didn't know why the military doctor suddenly discovered it.

After coming back to his senses, Li Mengxi looked at the military doctor and waved his hand, "You don't need thousands of kilograms of herbs. The key to treating the epidemic is prevention, not treatment!"

Li Mengxi already had some thoughts on how to prevent epidemics in the army.

The main thing is to improve hygiene. For example, ordering soldiers to drink boiled water is very important.

If there is a plague, some viruses can be spread through water. Even if people who die from the plague are buried underground, they will contaminate the groundwater.

At this time, if you drink raw water, you will also be infected with the plague.

If during the siege and defense of a city, if a plague breaks out in the city and dead bodies are buried, the virus will seep into the groundwater along the soil. There is also a well outside the city that is also connected to the groundwater. The army outside the city, even if it is not directly related to the army inside the city, will

If you come into contact, you will also be infected with the plague.

In the same way, if a plague breaks out outside the city, the well water in the city may not be safe.

Therefore, it is very important to drink boiled water, which can kill viruses.

When it comes to boiling water, it is difficult to popularize it. First, it is technically difficult. To boil enough hot water, you need enough firewood and water-burning tools.

The second issue is the issue of habit. Ancient soldiers were accustomed to drinking raw water. They were accustomed to drinking hot water. If they were thirsty, they would drink it to quench their thirst.

It’s unreasonable that the hot water has to wait for it to cool down! Others don’t know that even with Zhang Fei’s irritable temper, he may not accept boiling water.

The third is management issues.

Even if there is a military order to drink hot water and prohibit raw water, what will happen if the soldiers still go their own way? If someone is caught drinking raw water, give him ten lashes? It may be useful.

In addition, there are other ways to improve hygiene such as washing clothes frequently.

When the sanitary conditions improve, the possibility of a plague outbreak in our army will be reduced to a very small level.

And if there is an outbreak of plague outside, follow the same method as when you experienced SARS when you were a child.

The camps in the army were set up widely spread out, and roadblocks were set up between each camp.

No matter who it is, even the King of Heaven and I will not let him in. There is Xiliu Camp in the Western Han Dynasty. If epidemic prevention is to be effective, it must also have military laws as strict as Xiliu Camp.

Although the plague is terrible, the way it spreads is the same. Cut off the way of transmission. No matter how terrible the plague is, if our army can deal with it well, at most one or two battalions and a hundred or ten people will die.

The plague was carried over and the troops withdrew calmly.

A small method of fighting the epidemic is related to the importance of the military and the country. If Cao Cao knew the method of fighting the epidemic in the Battle of Chibi, how could a small plague force Cao Cao, who had raised an army of 800,000, to withdraw his troops?

If a plague had not broken out in Cao Cao's army, and if the warships had not been set on fire by Zhou Yu, and if the stalemate had continued without being able to advance or retreat, Cao Cao would still have a good chance of winning even if all his naval forces were lost.

There is no need to prepare 10,000 kilograms of herbal medicine. You only need to prepare a few more wound medicines. For ordinary needs, just prepare a few more.

A terrible typhoid epidemic would eventually break out at the end of the Han Dynasty. This epidemic killed 90% of the population in the late Han Dynasty, directly leading to a crisis situation where only ten Han people could survive, and laying hidden dangers for the Five Husbands to disrupt China.

And if it hadn't been for this plague, with the population base at the end of the Han Dynasty, even if there were years of war and the number of people who died in the war would never have brought the Han population to the brink of extinction.

The cause of the Wuhu chaos in China seemed to be the sharp population decline caused by war and plague, but in fact, there was only one key reason, which was the typhoid fever epidemic.

Otherwise, just imagine that during the hundreds of years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there were never fewer wars than at the end of the Han Dynasty. However, throughout the Central Plains, there were endless wars. The combined population of all the Central Plains countries was still much more than the Hu people.

The impact of the typhoid fever epidemic on Han civilization was no less than the impact of the Black Death on Europe in the Middle Ages.

However, with the arrival of Li Mengxi, there was no need to let the typhoid epidemic go unchecked.

Li Mengxi pushed the alcohol lamp in front of the military doctor.

When I saw this lamp, it looked like a wine jar, which looked very strange.

Under Li Mengxi's demonstration, Bu saw that when Li Mengxi put a little fire on the straw rope, a flood of flames started to burn.

Strange, blue flame, Bu was surprised.

"This fire is extremely clean. Try it with a divination needle."

Li Mengxi invited me.

Bu listened and took out the silver needle.

Li Mengxi also pointed out what is the outer flame, what is the inner flame, and what is the heart of the flame. He also said that the outer flame is the strongest, and it is better to use the needle to release the outer flame.

Bu placed the needle according to the law.

After burning for a while, I took out the needle and took a look. I was surprised. Sure enough, after burning for a long time, it was not like the black layer on the wax, nor the thin layer on the burnt surface like on the oil lamp.

Heat the oil with a needle and it will look as good as new.

Moreover, the silver needle was hot, but not red.

Strange.

Bu was surprised.

Li Mengxi also explained that alcohol is not easy to evaporate, so he should use it sparingly and use nothing except broiling acupuncture needles.

He also explained how to extinguish the lamp, saying that if it cannot be extinguished by blowing it, it must be covered with a lid.

As he spoke, Li Mengxi threw a lid made of yellow mud to Bu.

Then, he told Bu Kan to go and rest as soon as possible, and it would not be too late to see a doctor tomorrow.

Li Mengxi left and put out the lamp. Without looking at the yellow clay cover, he blew the alcohol lamp gently like blowing wax, but it couldn't be extinguished.

Blow hard and blow hard, but it still won't go away.

Do this several times, blow hard, and the stupor will never go away.

Bu was surprised.
