Ziqi and the others held a large-scale cultural evening party in Guangzhou. It was a large-scale cultural performance invited by the local government and jointly organized by multiple units. The theme seemed to be to celebrate the opening of a certain area.

In fact, SARS has already occurred in Guangzhou, and there have been signs of outbreaks in recent days, it is inappropriate to hold a large-scale art performance, but it is related to the face of local governments. The relevant leaders believe that the more nervous the moment, the more they need to show their determination to remain calm.

Although some medical experts have raised objections, the mass gatherings here have not stopped.

It is hard to say whether a large-scale literary and artistic event that involves about 100,000 people will cause many people to be infected with the SARS virus. Therefore, Fan Wubing was worried about this matter and deliberately followed the prescription for clearing fire and removing poison, boiled some Chinese medicine for Shen Ying and Ziqi to drink, which also played a preventive role.

"You said again that the virus this time is very powerful. Immune to all antibiotics. Can drinking Chinese medicine work?" Shen Ying frowned and asked with a frown.

Under Fan Wubing's care, Shen Ying's cold had improved a lot, but at this time, she still felt difficult to swallow when she saw the decoction brought by Fan Wubing. After all, this thing was too bitter.

"Of course it works." Fan Wubing replied, "In fact, many viruses are internally caused. It is important to avoid infection, but if you have poor physical condition or have severe internal fire, you will be more likely to get infected with the virus, and the body's resistance to the virus is also very weak, which will cause severe symptoms after infection. If your body is in a relatively harmonious state, the resistance is relatively stronger, and it is difficult to have serious symptoms like the SARS patients we see now. As the saying goes, flies do not bite seamless eggs, this is what it means."

"There is no such thing as getting angry in the concept of Western medicine." Zi Qi said.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Western medicine also said that traditional Chinese medicine is pseudoscience. They treat patients with cerebral hemorrhage by just drawing blood. Even if they are rescued, they are still half paralyzed and half stupid. We only need a golden needle to solve the problem. So what do you say? In fact, traditional Chinese medicine itself is good, but it is just caused by the burden of quack doctors and ruined its reputation."

The two girls nodded. Fan Wubing once said this before that traditional Chinese medicine has high requirements for the quality of doctors themselves and has higher requirements for understanding, so it is not a simple and quantitative discipline. If you want to become a real traditional Chinese medicine, you need talent.

Western medicine uses the advanced tools to make up for its own shortcomings. This obviously has many benefits, that is, the threshold for entry is relatively low, but for some diseases that show symptoms that are not obvious, it is difficult to determine the source of the disease or cannot determine the source of the disease, it seems powerless.

Especially when it comes to the brain or meridian nervous system, Western medicine is helpless. In these aspects, traditional Chinese medicine can exert influence through various methods through its own theoretical system and effectively solve these and other problems.

"No matter what, you drink the decoction first, otherwise I will pinch your nose and pour it into my mouth." Fan Wubing urged with a smile.

The two girls frowned and looked at each other, but finally pinched their noses and drank the decoction.

"It's so bitter-" Shen Ying stuck out her tongue and said, "So, Doctor Fan has any countermeasures for this SARS virus?"

Fan Wubing scratched his head and said, "In fact, even if I have a way, I can't be adopted."

"Why? Is it because you had a holiday with the Ministry of Health?" Shen Ying asked.

"Wujian had a festival with the Ministry of Health?" Ziqi obviously had never heard of this, so she asked in surprise.

The holiday between Fan Wubing and the Ministry of Health has been around for a long time, mainly due to the conflict between the old leader when he saw a doctor. After all, this is a continuation of the dispute between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

The experts of the Ministry of Health are basically all Western medicine and dominate the world, but they have no idea how to start with many difficult diseases. Fan Wubing is a true descendant of the Chinese medicine doctor. A golden needle is easy to cure the chronic diseases of many old leaders. Therefore, the face of the Ministry of Health is useless. These experts have long hated them.

The reason why Fan Wubing was not overwhelmed was mainly because these old leaders trusted Doctor Fan more, and Fan Wubing himself was too powerful, and several experts from the Ministry of Health obviously could not pose a threat to him.

"It's one thing that I have a holiday with the Ministry of Health, but it's another thing this time." Fan Wubing shook his head and said.

"Why?" The two girls didn't understand what was wrong.

Fan Wubing shrugged and said, "Because, the Infectious Disease Management Law stipulates that the use of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine is prohibited from the prevention and treatment of any infectious disease."

"What kind of bullshit rule is this?!" Shen Ying immediately sneered.

In the domestic medical community where Western medicine occupies a dominant position, mainstream experts are controlled by Western medicine. Therefore, the attitude held by local traditional Chinese medicine is naturally willing to kill with one stick. As for the provisions of the Infectious Disease Management Law, it is naturally a market access system and an industry monopoly behavior.

When Fan Wubing thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "You must know that interests determine the result, details dominate the process. The dispute between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine has been around for a long time. Since the May Fourth Movement, Western medicine has become a popular domestically. In fact, this is a good thing. After all, Western medicine has advantages that ordinary Chinese medicine cannot match in many aspects, such as handling trauma, treating some critically trauma patients, etc. However, in the environment at that time, Western medicine has become a tool to crack down on traditional Chinese medicine. As a national treasure, only by completely defeating traditional Chinese medicine and putting a seal of pseudoscience can we completely erase China's cultural traditions and promote Western learning from the perspective of thought. Therefore, the mainstream thinkers at that time were all trying their best to ban traditional Chinese medicine, which was actually a political game."

"So that's how it is--" Zi Qi was quite moved when she heard this.

"Then you can't sit still, right? I heard that although Guangzhou is treating it now, the effect is very small." Shen Ying said to Fan Wubing.

"There is no way to do this," Fan Wubing shook his head and said.

The current treatment plan is actually to use large doses of hormones and antivirals, symptomatic treatment, supportive therapy and other measures. In fact, it is also to test the treatment to see if it works. However, this treatment plan may solve some problems. However, the use of hormones in large doses can easily cause serious sequelae to the patient, even if the treatment is successful, these patients may have a high chance of suffering from lung failure or related syndromes.

In fact, as Fan Wubing said, in the treatment of SARS, a large amount of glucocorticoids are used, which is a hormone used to regulate the body's immune system. The scientific name is adrenal corticotinoid. Because it can be used for diseases that are not as good as general antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, such as sepsis, it is commonly known as the American elixir. It is a type of steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It has the effect of regulating the biosynthesis and metabolism of sugar, fat, and proteins, and also has anti-inflammatory effects.

However, the side effects of this hormone are also very obvious. During the period after the SARS treatment, many patients recovered from the disease had sequelae to varying degrees. In addition to femoral head necrosis, they also suffered from pulmonary fibrosis, which means that the small vesicles in their lungs are covered with scars and are not elastic, and they often have difficulty breathing.

It is said that there were more than 300 patients with sequelae of such symptoms in the capital at that time.

Fan Wubing is also very clear about the current situation. Due to the change of leadership, the Ministry of Health is also in a mess. It is not suitable for his father Fan Heng to come forward to solve the problem. After all, in major decisions, it is still necessary to issue orders through the top leaders of the party and government.

If Fan Heng takes action rashly, it will easily cause a lot of trouble, which Fan Wubing doesn't want to see.

Sometimes Fan Wubing also feels more difficult. On the one hand, he does not have a better treatment plan here, and on the other hand, the more he is at this time, the more he needs to be cautious. Any overreach may cause big trouble to himself and his father Fan Heng.

Although the disease is ruthless, politics is even more cruel. To be honest, what is the death of a few people in the face of cold politics?

Fan Wubing even thought that if the situation continues to develop and worsens, the power change of the Ministry of Health is inevitable. Taking this opportunity, he can completely insert his own power into the Ministry of Health, and in fact control this large ministries with huge power and interests, so that it can start operating according to his own will.

Although SARS epidemic is prevalent, people will die, but the number of people who die is a minority. In fact, Fan Wubing is very clear that no infectious disease can exterminate humans. Although the virus is very powerful in the early stages, after one and a second transmission, the body's resistance will be immediately shown. Even without medicine, you can overcome this difficulty, not to mention that you already have drugs that can basically control the spread of SARS.

In fact, it is difficult to reappear when people are more alert and hygienic.

Compared with the reform of the medical system that has a greater impact on the whole nation, Fan Wubing believes that although SARS is terrible, it is a disease of tinea scabies. The current medical system is a confidant. If the lives of a small number of people can be sacrificed in exchange for the Ministry of Health, so that the new medical reform plan can be introduced as soon as possible and benefit most people, it is still cost-effective.

Although this idea is a bit cold-blooded, it is the most in line with the philosophy of a politician standing at the top.

Fan Wubing and the others finally boarded a private plane and were about to leave the city of Guangzhou. What they saw and heard in the past two days did make Fan Wubing feel a little moved.

Before SARS, humans had already experienced too many disasters.

However, no disaster can make people resist SARS solely as today. Although if they are simply comparing their severity, various safety accidents, including traffic accidents, production safety accidents, especially mine safety accidents, under the numerous bans, illegal operations and negligence are still everywhere.

Only SARS, no one dares to neglect it.

In Guangzhou, during the days when SARS was raging, officials acted urgently, the masses were in a high fashion, experts warned a lot, and citizens rarely refused.

Although losing freedom of movement is one of the most unbearable things, considering that isolation is the easiest and most effective way to prevent the spread of SARS, it is not uncommon for citizens who self-isolate in Guangzhou.

Looking at the process of Guangzhou’s fight against SARS, individual isolation is an important measure, and its successful implementation is not only due to the government’s administrative means, but also because of the high cooperation of the parties.

There are too many examples worth mentioning about "one heart".

A scientific research company in Shenzhen took only eight days to develop an infrared thermometer, and the administrative department was faster. It passed the full approval of this new product in just one night. The thermometer appeared on the market on the ninth day.

Experts say that to prevent SARS, please pay attention to hygiene, wash your hands frequently, and disinfect them frequently. For a time, hand sanitizer and disinfectant were out of stock, and discussions about people's hygiene habits became a hot topic in the city.

The media called for the lack of enough hospital equipment, medical staff working too hard and needing care and understanding too much.

Immediately, the business community and the public donated generously. In just over a month, the total value of donations received by the Guangzhou Red Cross system and civil affairs department was nearly 30 million yuan, which does not include the 20 million checks sent directly by Fan's Investment Group.

As for those who wrote letters to medical staff and sent flowers, countless people left messages online to show their support, and even received some special donations for designated purposes, requiring rewards to Academician Zhong, who made contributions to the fight against SARS.

Sometimes, Fan Wubing has also considered why in the face of SARS, humans can do their best, pursue and form a consensus faster than they imagined? This is probably because of this mere coronavirus, without a personnel background, and without a backstage boss, no one will plead for it, not like the gas in the mine, which kills miners hundreds of meters underground, but equally threatens every big and small person.

In any case, Fan Wubing is also sincerely looking forward to the fact that humans can be so united in the face of disasters outside of SARS.

Watching the plane gradually rise into the air and the bustling city swept past under his body, Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying who was leaning beside him, "Well, when I go back, I will give you a very useful and suitable gift."

"What gift?" Shen Ying asked curiously.
