Seeing that the arms of all his employees were clean, the big stone hanging in Song Che's heart finally fell.
"The smallpox virus has an incubation period. Although you currently have no signs of infection, you should not take it lightly. When you return home, use the soap I made to bathe and clean your body. Also, send Wenjun, Hong'er and the two children to a small courtyard alone. In children, pregnant women and children have weak resistance, so they must not be exposed to outsiders." Song Che solemnly warned.
"What about you?" Qin Ruo and others expressed concern.
"Once you have smallpox, you will never get it again. I had smallpox when I was a child and I have immunity. You don't have to worry about me." The smallpox vaccine and the measles vaccine have been vaccinated in the second grade of elementary school, so there is no need to be afraid!
"Okay, go home quickly, it's not safe outside." Song Che urged. Qin Ruo and the others said no more and hurried towards Song Mansion.
The smallpox incident quickly spread throughout the city of Hangzhou. Within half an hour, the streets were deserted, leaving nothing but chaos.
Inspections at the exhibition are also carried out in an orderly manner. The early symptoms of smallpox are high fever, fatigue, headache, rapid heartbeat and backache. The symptoms are almost the same as those of heatstroke. After being infected with smallpox, a large area of rash will appear on the face, arms, and thighs two to three days later. Chickenpox , then suppurate and fester, and if you are lucky enough to heal on their own, they will develop scabs, tinea, and fall off; from the initial symptoms found on the fainted man, it can be seen that he has been infected with smallpox for at least seven days, which means that seven days ago, Smallpox patients appeared in Hangzhou; people were coming and going at the exhibition, and business was being discussed face to face. Someone must have been infected, but the virus was currently in the incubation period and had not yet broken out;
"I had scabies a few years ago, it's not smallpox! Let me go!"
"We don't think you have smallpox yet! Be honest with me. Whether it is this disease or not, the doctor will diagnose it later!"
"Dear fellow villagers, smallpox has an incubation period of seven to 17 days. If you feel that you have high fever, headache, back pain, general weakness and other symptoms in the past few days, I hope you can consciously go out and avoid infecting your relatives and friends!" conscious?
How many people will realize this? They all wanted to finish the inspection quickly so that they could escape from this place quickly. After Lin'an Prefecture learned the news, it immediately dispatched some petty officials and summoned doctors from all over the city to come to the fair for medical treatment.
After the doctors diagnosed the man who fainted earlier, it was determined that he had smallpox.
"This...where did smallpox come from? The last time smallpox appeared in Hangzhou was thirty years ago, and a lot of people died that time!"
"Could it be that these Tibetan businessmen brought it from abroad? There have been too many people from outside the recent trade fairs!"
"It's also possible that they were refugees fleeing from the north. They starved to death and died of illness on the roadside. Dysentery, leprosy and other infectious diseases were everywhere."
"Oh, what's the point of investigating the source of the disease? Doctor Liu, you are the largest medical family in Hangzhou. Your ancestors must have been treated for smallpox, right? Why don't you come up with a solution quickly?"
"When the ceiling appeared, I was still a young man. I...I have no experience in this area. It was all presided over by my father's generation. However, don't worry, everyone. I will go back and consult the classics. I will definitely find out how to resolve this issue. The cure for the disease!" Dozens of doctors all over the city hang on their heads every day.
The slogan of "rejuvenating with wonderful hands", but when a serious illness comes, everyone is at a loss what to do and can't explain why.
Song Che let out a long sigh. In the prosperous trade conference, such a disease suddenly appeared. Who said it was because God was not kind to him?
By the evening, the personnel at the exhibition were completely screened, and more than 30 people had rashes, and more than 70 people had symptoms of high fever. Fortunately, the famous medical families in Hangzhou were very responsible and took the initiative to give up their own medical clinics to accept patients.
night. The moon is hidden and the stars are sparse, and it is a sunny evening in summer. On the deserted streets, even the lights were dim. It's clear that the residual heat has not dissipated, but it makes people feel even colder.
After Song Che returned home, he took three baths in a row and ordered everyone in the house to consciously isolate themselves. The scope of activities should not exceed the courtyard. All meals were delivered to the door by servants, and they communicated with each other through microphones.
After three days in a row, the city of Hangzhou was completely silent, and smallpox finally broke out. Major medical centers are overcrowded, 70% of patients are seriously ill, and the number of people dying of the disease every day is in double digits.
"Mr. Song, what should we do? The number of infections has increased sharply. Many people in the city have no rice to cook and have to go out for activities, which invisibly increases the risk of infection..." The gate of Song Mansion.
Liu Boyong wrapped himself into a rice dumpling. He came here specially. He pulled Song Che's sleeve, meaning, if you don't find a way out today, I won't let you go.
Song Che also looked embarrassed. If it was a man-made disaster, he could still find a way to solve it, but this virus was a natural disaster. What could he, a layman who didn't know medical skills, do?
After thinking for a moment, he said: "People may not die if they get smallpox, but they will definitely starve to death if they don't eat. The water transportation cannot be stopped no matter what. In the name of the government, you will kill all the rice shops, grain shops, vegetable farmers, and butcher shops in the city." Get together and set up a unified point at each street corner, and then issue voucher regulations for each household. If the family is in short supply, one person can be sent out to buy according to the regulations. In this way, the livelihood of the people is solved. , and reduces the risk of infection.”
"That's great!" Liu Boyong clapped his hands and applauded, but the next moment he grabbed Song Che's sleeve and showed a sad face again: "How to get rid of the flower that day? Now many doctors have been infected. If this continues, even the decoction will not work. I don’t have to take a sip!” Song Che fiercely removed his sleeves and shook his head to express that there was really nothing he could do about this!
"Oh, what should we do? The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and a plague broke out in Hangzhou. It is a crime of great disrespect! Don't call me a fool, even my life cannot be saved!" Look, he He doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all, he only cares about his own black hat.
"God, please send a miracle doctor down to earth to save this poor city of Hangzhou!" Liu Boyong knelt at the gate, crying and howling to the sky at an old age.
Miracle doctor? Song Che's eyes suddenly lit up. If talking about a miracle doctor, he seemed to have really thought of someone.
"Master Liu, please quickly send someone to Jinling to find a man named 'Jian Saixian' in the mud alley in the south of the city. He has excellent medical skills and is an outsider who hides in the market. If he can treat He invited us to come to Hangzhou, and the smallpox plague may be solved."
"Then...this old god, if he has anything he likes, I will send it to him as a backup gift!"
"Since you are an expert outside the world, how can you care about worldly things? If you really want to give a gift, just bring two jugs of good wine."
"That's how it should be!"
