Chapter 26 The Influenza Is Still Spanish

() After Liu Fu thought of the word "Spanish Flu", he broke into a cold sweat all over his body, because he clearly remembered that in that document, during the two years of the influenza outbreak, a total of 10 people in the world were infected.

100 million people have been infected with this disease, and nearly 40 million people have lost their lives. At this time, there are only 1.7 billion people in the world, which means that half of the population has been infected with this disease, and 5% of people will be killed by this influenza.

.

Liu Fu calculated the population of the South China Sea Federation. If calculated based on a 5% fatality rate, 2 million people out of the Federation's nearly 40 million people would die from the flu, and among these 2 million people, maybe

Including Liu Fu himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Fu had no choice but to desperately search in his memory for the drugs and preventive measures used by later generations to deal with bird flu. After searching for a long time, he didn't know whether it was Liu Fu's brain capacity that was too big or Liu Fu's own.

The search engine was too backward, and the name of the drug he wanted was not found anyway, but

The name of a kind of traditional Chinese medicine and a kind of labor protection supplies were found. Anyone who has lived in the later generations should know this importance. It is called "Isatis root", and the name of that kind of labor protection supplies is "mask".

At that time, these two things were in the same situation across the country: out of stock!!!

Now that he remembered these two anti-influenza weapons, Liu Fu ignored the fact that later generations of experts had repeatedly warned the people across the country that isatis root and masks did not have much therapeutic or preventive effect on bird flu.

On the same day, Liu Fu convened an emergency meeting of the federal government. At the meeting, Liu Fu notified various departments of the government of the disease in Europe and the American continent, and issued an extraordinary order. The South China Sea Federation entered into force from that day on.

During the state of emergency, quarantine measures are required at all ports. All foreigners, regardless of nationality, must undergo quarantine for a week before they can enter federal territory. All federal residents returning from foreign countries must also undergo the same quarantine before being released.

In addition, all public places within the federal territory are subject to key surveillance. All patients found to have fever, cough, muscle aches, coughing up blood, or lung inflammation must be sent to the nearest designated isolation hospital for observation. All counties and cities in the federal territory

Hospitals above level 1 must immediately establish isolation and quarantine areas, and the federal Ministry of Health shall be responsible for inspections.

Finally, Liu Fu asked the federal government to put epidemic prevention work as the top priority of the government. In addition to the health department, other departments must shoulder their due responsibilities and cooperate in logistics, publicity and other aspects.

After the national notice was released, Liu Fu specially called the health services department and asked them to immediately notify all pharmaceutical factories in the federal territory to purchase traditional Chinese medicine like isatis root. What kind of traditional Chinese medicine isatis root is it? Liu Fu also said

I don't know, so I just asked the health service department to ask an old Chinese medicine practitioner.

In addition to producing isatis root granules, the health service department also has a task, which is to bid for mask manufacturers, and to produce the most masks in the shortest time. At the end, Liu Fu emphasized an issue, isatis root and masks,

Both items will be purchased and distributed uniformly by the federal government. No individual or group is allowed to sell these two items, and offenders will be subject to the severest penalties.

In addition to isatis root and masks, Liu Fu thought of another medicine, but this time it was not a traditional Chinese medicine, but a drug that the Federal Institute of Medical Research had developed for more than ten years and was more effective than sulfonamides according to Liu Fu's simple description.

The most overbearing antibiotic: penicillin.

In fact, as early as the establishment of the institute, Liu Fu began to carry out the research and development of penicillin. However, at that time, the institute was still newly established, there were not many researchers, and the equipment was not professional enough. He only relied on Liu Fu's general description of penicillin to conduct research.

Therefore, it is impossible to isolate higher units of penicillin bacteria, and it is also impossible to determine which penicillin is more suitable for human body constitution.

As the federation slowly grew, the research institute also gradually improved and expanded. Liu Fu still couldn't forget the miracle drug penicillin. He allocated funds to the Medical Research Institute many times and instructed to set up a special research team for penicillin to cultivate, isolate and purify penicillin.

Waiting for experiments, we finally found a suitable bacterial strain, and perfected the cultivation, purification, drying and other processes to meet the process requirements for mass production of penicillin.

However, in order to continue selling the federal sulfonamide drugs and obtain more foreign exchange for the federation, Liu Fu did not agree to put penicillin into mass production. He only regarded it as a new drug, produced a small amount in the laboratory, and tested it clinically.

Determine its efficacy.

Now that the disease has struck, Liu Fu can no longer care about the impact that the release of large amounts of penicillin will have on the sales of sulfonamide drugs. The most important thing now is to save his life. According to the news coming back from the United States, the highest mortality rate of this type of influenza is caused by

Complication - acute pneumonia, and penicillin is definitely more effective than sulfa drugs in treating pneumonia.

Due to the spread of influenza, Liu Fei did not dare to let David and his party wander around Europe anymore. If that person fell down due to the flu, it would be a great loss for Liu Fei. So Liu Fei hurriedly asked the internal affairs department to

The Ministry of Internal Affairs contacted their accompanying agents, notified David and his team, and quickly ended their trip in Europe. Only the liaison personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were left to continue the poaching plan.

The people quickly took a ship from Königsberg, brought the convinced scientific and technological personnel and their families, and returned to the Federation. However, for the sake of safety, the ship returning from Germany will not be able to dock directly at an ordinary port in the Federation, but will need to

Anchored in a makeshift port near the island of Sulawesi, those on board must pass a quarantine period before entering federal territory.

Although David was a little surprised after receiving the telegram, according to his understanding of Liu Fu, this magic stick has the power to predict the future. Since he said that this kind of cold will break out on a large scale, there is a chance that people in Europe and the United States will

Many countries have already experienced an outbreak.

Businessmen are businessmen after all. No matter at any time, even when their lives are threatened, their first thought will be involuntarily to search for business opportunities. Following Liu Fu's reminder, David notified Helena and Schneider,

After moving his family or relatives to the Federation for refuge as soon as possible, he was sensitive to the fact that Liu Fu must have a medicine to treat this cold. If this medicine really existed, then David could copy the medicine he relied on decades ago.

The story of how co-trimoxazole tablets made their fortune.

After having this idea, David couldn't wait any longer. After he boarded the ship, the first thing he did was to use the ship's radio station to send a telegram to Liu Fu, asking about drugs to treat influenza, but Liu Fu's answer

It is true: it is under development and the efficacy is uncertain.

I don’t know if that wise man said something: If more than one person knows something, it will never be a secret.

Liu Fu was very touched by this sentence now. Just when David and his party were still quarantined on the desert island, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported a very interesting thing to Liu Fu. In recent days, a large number of foreigners had

There is a sudden influx into the Federation, and the destinations are very concentrated. They basically enter Tamsui Port. The isolation and quarantine department established at Tamsui Port is almost saturated, but the number of these incoming foreigners is gradually increasing.

In addition to the number of people, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also gave Liu Fu a list of these foreigners. Liu Fu only looked at the list for a few seconds and discovered a particularly strange phenomenon. Most of the people on this list

They are all women and children, and the purpose of their coming to the Federation is to visit friends, and the targets of their visits are all two names: David Warburg and Carl Schneider!
