Chapter 437 Plague (9)

Zhou Weiying said again: "We were all ready yesterday."

Lin Jiayi said: "Everything has been prepared. The three bodies that were ready for dissection have been sent to the hospital. The equipment room is also ready for dissection. In addition, patients who have received the injection have been arranged here, including 12 people with mild and severe symptoms. They have been arranged in a special tent and can be injected immediately."

Zhou Weiying said: "Very good, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Fanxue. When this matter is over, you will stay and give you four assistants to inject the patients. You will be responsible for the care of these patients."

Zhang Yuan and Zhao Fanxue nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhou Weiying asked again: "By the way, how to deal with the dead patient's body."

Fu Kezhuang said: "All of them are cremated collectively, and then hand over the ashes to the family."

Zhou Weiying nodded in praise and said, "It's great, but it's a lot of pressure to do this."

In this era, China still mainly uses burial of whole corpses. Cremation is usually only used in extreme poverty or special conditions. Therefore, it is indeed a considerable social pressure to cremate patients who die of plague. Although Lin Jiayi and Fu Kezhuang are average in their business capabilities and do not want to be too troublesome, they also know that patients who die of infectious diseases must never bury them all corpses, and must be cremated.

Fu Kezhuang said: "The provincial government and municipal government have given us great support for this."

Zhou Weiying said again: "I received a notice from Qingdao because of the news that the first batch of 200 medical staff to support will arrive tomorrow. Now the dormitory in the camp is probably not enough, and a new barracks must be built overnight."

Lin Jiayi nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we'll make arrangements right away."

Zhou Weiying said again: "It's okay to live in a tent now, but it's the end of October, and the weather is getting colder day by day. Can tents be kept warm and colder?"

Lin Jiayi said: "Director Zhou, don't worry. When building the camp, we considered the issue of keeping warm and cold. There were two places for floor furnaces in each tent. When the weather was cold, all tents would be placed, and it would definitely not be frozen."

Zhou Weiying nodded and said, "That's good, you must let the medical staff have a good rest."

At noon, everyone was having dinner in the camp. After lunch, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Fanxue were left behind to inject the selected patients in the camp, and Ding Fu Kezhuang also stayed to cooperate with their work. The others followed Lin Jiayi and rushed back to Harbin Hospital in the city.

Zhou Weiying, Liu Xueming and Wu Liande changed into protective clothing. Each of them brought two naturalized civilian medical staff as assistants, and each dissected the selected Sanjia corpse in the temporary anatomy room. Tang Youting and Parotini led the famous naturalized civilian medical staff to arrange the equipment they brought in in another room.

Because it was just anatomy of the body, not a patient's surgery, and the part of the dissection was only the chest and lungs, the dissection time was not long and it ended soon. Zhou Weiying, Liu Xueming, and Wu Liande took tissue sections and blood from the body and handed them to Tang Youting for testing. At the same time, in the three anatomical reports, it was mentioned that the deceased's lungs were severely congested, the lymph nodes in the lungs were also abnormally swollen, and there were white patches with blurred edges in the chest cavity. The test results were also released. Bacillus plague was found in the three sample sections and blood, which also proved that the deceased did die of plague.

Several people sat together to discuss, Liu Xueming said: "The anatomy proved that the deceased did die from the plague, and we did not find the plague virus from the mice. Therefore, I think it can be concluded that this plague was not transmitted through media contact, but by droplets, that is, pneumoplague."

Wu Liande was stunned and said, "Pneumoplague?"

Zhou Weiying nodded and said, "Mr. Wu, we call the plague transmitted through media contact bubonic plague, while the plague transmitted by droplets is called pneumoplague."

Wu Lien-teh was very surprised and said, "You have known that there is a plague spreading like this droplet!"

Zhou Weiying nodded again and said, "Yes! That's why we insist on autopsy, identifying the type of plague and how it spreads it. This is how to prescribe the right medicine and use the correct way to prevent and treat it."

Wu Liande nodded repeatedly and said, "So that's it, I admire you, I admire you."

Zhou Weiying said: "The types of plague have been found out now. We will hold a meeting in the guesthouse tonight to discuss ways to deal with plague." He also said to Lin Jiayi: "Director Lin, you and Director Fu must participate. In addition, we notify Governor Wang and Mayor Zhong, hoping that they can participate too."

Lin Jiayi hurriedly said, "Okay, Director Fu and I will definitely participate. Governor Wang and Mayor Zhong, I will definitely notify you, but I can't guarantee whether to participate."

So Zhou Weiying and others went back to the guesthouse first, and the four veterans and Wu Liante held a small meeting together to negotiate the response plan. Lin Jiayi went to inform Wang Sheng and Zhong Xiaohui and agreed to meet at the guesthouse at 8 pm to discuss.

At 5 pm, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Fanxue also returned to the guesthouse and brought back good news. Among the 24 patients who received antibiotics, 2 severely ill patients and 5 mild patients had obvious fever reduction, which proved that antibiotics and serum were indeed effective. Four naturalized medical staff remained in the camp and continued to observe the situation of patients who received antibiotics and serum injections, and reported the patient's condition every 2 hours.

After hearing this, Zhou Weiying and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. If antibiotics and serum were indeed effective, it would be much easier. At the same time, Zhou Weiying immediately arranged four naturalized medical staff in the guesthouse to go to rest immediately and go to replace the four people in the camp at 12 o'clock in the evening. The 6 veterans were divided into two shifts, taking turns to watch the reported patients' situation.

At this time, today's epidemic summary also came. On this day, 1,815 patients with confirmed symptoms were added, 1,107 suspected patients, 352 deaths, and 7 cured. There were 921 new patients with confirmed symptoms, 566 suspected patients, 167 deaths, and 2 cured.

At 7:30, Wang Sheng, Zhong Xiaohui, Lin Jiayi, Fu Kezhuang and others rushed to the guesthouse one after another. In the new patient situation report I just received, the condition of two more patients improved.

Zhou Weiying first told Wang Sheng and others about the news. Everyone was very happy. Finally, there was an effective treatment for the plague, which was indeed good news.

However, the next step is not good news. Zhou Weiying told Wang Sheng and Zhong Xiaohui that according to the consultation results of the medical team, it is recommended to lock down Harbin in the city. Because the plague this time is pneumoplague that can be transmitted through droplets, it is very contagious and difficult to prevent and treat. Moreover, the epidemic situation in Harbin has been quite serious. Currently, there are more than 3,000 patients with confirmed symptoms, and there are more than 1,200 suspected patients. According to previous data, more than 70% of the suspected patients will be converted into confirmed patients. Now the total population of Harbin City is less than 500,000, which means that there is one confirmed patient in the 120 people, and the latent patients have not been calculated yet. Therefore, Harbin must be locked down to completely cut off the transmission route of the virus, and the entire city's population is comprehensively screened to find all potential patients. Only in this way can the virus be completely eliminated in the shortest time.

After listening to Zhou Weiying's words, Wang Sheng and Zhong Xiaohui also became silent. In fact, the two of them were prepared for the lockdown of Harbin. After all, both of them had experienced the new crown epidemic in the old time and space. Facts have proved that lockdown is indeed the best way to fight the epidemic. However, the damage to the local economy and social development of the lockdown is also huge. Therefore, whether to lock down the city is indeed a very difficult decision.

After a while, Zhong Xiaohui said: "Director Zhou, can you tell me how long it will take to completely eliminate the epidemic if the city is locked down."

Zhou Weiying said: "We have indeed evaluated the time to fight the epidemic, but this is only an estimation based on experience and is not necessarily accurate."

Zhong Xiaohui said: "It doesn't matter, let's talk about it and we can make a reference."

Zhou Weiying said: "The incubation period of the plague is not long, usually 2-5 days. Therefore, after the city is locked down, it is estimated that the turning point of the epidemic will occur within 7-10 days, and there will be a significant decline in about 20 days. In addition, as long as the city is well investigated and external losses must be controlled, it should be about 30 days to achieve zero clearance in the whole city."

Zhong Xiaohui nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this, President Zhou, the lockdown is of great importance. I can't reply immediately now. I will recruit the municipal meeting tomorrow to discuss the lockdown together. At the same time, I hope that President Zhou can attend. There may be some professional questions that you need to answer at that time. In addition, Governor Wang, you can also attend this meeting."

Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely participate tomorrow."

Zhou Weiying said: "I can attend tomorrow's meeting, but regardless of whether tomorrow's meeting will be successful or not, I will send this suggestion to Qingdao tomorrow, because the epidemic here can no longer be delayed, so I hope you can understand it."

Zhong Xiaohui also smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, I can understand."

Zhou Weiying said: "In addition, the situation in Harbin City has been basically clear. Only patients who have been injected with antibiotics and serum need further observation. Tomorrow, Deputy Team Leader Liu will take half of the personnel to Manzhouli to inspect the epidemic situation. I hope the provincial government can cooperate with our actions."
