Chapter 356: After food comes epidemic prevention
Feng Quji shook his head and said, "That's not right. Even if young men and women can go to work, what about the elderly and children? If they can't work, do they have to eat relief food mixed with sand?"
Qin An shook his head and said: "Of course the elderly and children need special treatment. You can set up a relief home to let the children and the elderly live there and do some things within their capabilities.
You can ask businessmen for help. Some workshops are very easy to work in. If it doesn't work, the government will support them. Of course, their families will also get part of the money.
Under normal circumstances, the government does not need to worry about these elderly people and children. The elderly children and their parents will take care of them.
No one wants to be accused of being unfilial, and no one wants to abandon his own flesh and blood, even if the tiger is poisoned and refuses to eat its children.
The real concern is for the lonely elderly and children without parents. They will need help from the government.
However, in ancient times, the elderly would only go begging, and children would only be abducted by traffickers.
If you are lucky, you will become a child of a wealthy family; if you are unlucky, you will become a brothel girl; if you are unlucky, you will be forced to beg after having your hand and hamstrings broken.
He begged for money with a miserable look, but all the money he got was taken away by the traffickers. "
"There are still such cruel people in the world." Ying Zheng's face darkened.
“This group of people can’t do anything for money.” Qin An said, “Not just in ancient times, but now as well.
Therefore, children must be taken good care of, otherwise they will regret it for the rest of their lives. "
"Qin An is right," Ying Zheng said, "The children must be taken good care of. Is there anything else about disaster relief?"
"Of course." Qin An said, "I just talked about food. The second thing is hygiene.
There has been a saying from ancient times to the present that a major disaster will be followed by a major epidemic, so hygiene is very important.
Once someone gets sick, it is likely to cause a plague. Fortunately, that was in ancient times, not now.
Now a plague breaks out and the whole world can be affected within a day.
In ancient times, whenever a plague broke out, at most two or three cities would suffer. This is the only kind of luck that is not luck. "
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't wait for the epidemic to break out," Ying Zheng said.
"Of course not." Qin An said, "Once someone gets sick, isolate them immediately. People who have been in contact with them must also be isolated.
Divided into two areas, an isolation area for those who have been exposed but have not contracted the disease. One is a sick quarantine area.
Next is disinfection. In ancient times, quicklime and vinegar were used to disinfect, and now disinfectant water and alcohol are used. "
"Wine can also be used as a disinfectant?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised.
Ying Zheng and others already knew that the poison used in disinfection was actually bacteria and germs, which were completely different from the poison in their mouths.
Qin An explained: "It's alcohol, not wine. It's stronger than the wine you drink. People who drink alcohol will die.
So it’s okay to drink alcohol, but it’s definitely not okay to drink alcohol. Wait a minute. I have alcohol in my room. I made some backup when I was making wine. "
"What are you doing with this?" Ying Zheng asked.
But before he finished speaking, Qin An had already ran back to the room, and when he came out, he appeared with a bottle of alcohol in a glass bottle.
Qin An walked up to Ying Zheng and said, "Father-in-law, this is alcohol."
"Clear as water." Ying Zheng looked at the liquid in the glass bottle on the table in shock, "Is this alcohol?"
"Of course." Qin An opened the bottle cap as he spoke, and a strong aroma of wine hit his nostrils.
"smell good."
"What a strong aroma of wine."
Everyone started talking, attracted by the strong aroma of wine.
Qin An said: "Don't be deceived by the smell of this wine. This is not for drinking. Alcohol is generally used for medical purposes.
If anyone invented alcohol in ancient times, it was the benefactor of the army. "
"What did you say?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Father-in-law, let me ask you, how many people were hacked to death after the war?" Qin An asked.
Ying Zheng said: "Not many people were actually hacked to death. Many people were bleeding excessively, or their wounds could not heal, and abscesses developed. In the end, medicine could not cure them.
If you ask this suddenly, could it be that..."
Ying Zheng was suddenly excited. If this is true, he is really the benefactor of the army. All soldiers will owe Qin An a favor.
Everyone else looked at Qin An with wide eyes, waiting for Qin An's answer.
Qin An replied: "That's true. As long as you use clean cotton dipped in alcohol and then apply it on the wound, it will not cause inflammation of the wound, and there is an 80% chance that they will survive.
If the wound is too deep, you can sew it up with needles and threads, and then remove the stitches after the wound heals.
Of course, the needles and threads must be sterilized, as well as the bandages.
If there is no alcohol, you need to use high temperature sterilization, that is, boil it in water for at least half an hour, then dry it in the sun and store it well.
After this set of procedures is eliminated, as long as you don't lose too much blood, you can basically survive. "
"Really?" Ying Zheng said excitedly, "Can you really survive?"
"Of course." Qin An said, "You can actually try it out. I will give you the alcohol, and then find an injured person from all over the country, preferably someone who has been infected.
Suck out all the pus and blood from his body, and then wipe and disinfect it with alcohol. Of course, don’t make it too serious. I’m not sure if it’s too serious.
This is just alcohol, not penicillin. With penicillin, it would be even more perfect. People who have had high fever for several days can be saved. "
"What about penicillin?" Ying Zheng asked, "Do you have penicillin?"
"I don't have that." Qin An said, "I know that penicillin is taken from moldy things.
There is also flavomycin, which is extracted from soil. In traditional Chinese medicine, this loess is actually a kind of medicine.
It was taken with a mustard decoction to cure a plague. I forgot what plague it was, it seemed to be the plague of diarrhea.
I'm not sure about the extraction method. I'm not a professional in this area. You can ask Lao Xia. I promised to make him a microscope and then teach him an extraction method so that he can do experiments.
After making it, use some small animals such as mice to conduct experiments. As long as the small animals do not die, then the success is almost half. The rest is to find someone to do the experiment.
In ancient times, you could find people on death row, but in modern times, you can pay to find drug testers. There is a group of people who, in order to make money, use their bodies to test new drugs for certain pharmaceutical companies. "
"Go quickly and bring Xia Wuji." Ying Zheng said impatiently.
"No." Li Si and Feng Quji said at the same time.
"Wait." Qin An said, "Don't worry, let's wait until I make all the tools.
Plus it was already late at night. It's not convenient to find someone else. Father-in-law, you also have to rest, and I also have to recuperate.
Some people died, but not completely...
