The reason why there are so few patients now is mainly because Song Yang responded quickly enough.
It has only been seven or eight days since the disaster.
Patients have been infected with the typhoid virus for a shorter period of time, before the virus may have started to attack.
Preventive treatment during the incubation period of the virus is easier to treat than during the onset period.
If you notice it early, take medication immediately.
The epidemic should be brought under control soon.
After Lu Jimin finished reporting on his work, Song Yang breathed a sigh of relief again.
Song Yang asked Doctor Lu to go back and take a rest.
But Doctor Lu shook his head. He still wanted to take people up the mountain to collect medicine.
Not far south of Jiangzhou City is Mount Lu. There are some medicinal materials that can be used in the mountains.
"Dr. Lu, thank you for your hard work. Please bring more smart people with you. Teach them how to recognize the medicine and you should go and rest as soon as possible."
"You are the only doctor among us. If you collapse, it will really be the end!"
Song Yang is still very concerned about Doctor Lu's safety.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the common people can still bear it."
Lu Jimin forced a smile and turned around to leave.
…
Lu Jimin left Song Yang and immediately arranged for the personal guards around him to carry out the defensive policy separately.
Now that it is inconvenient for him to go out by himself, the Guards have become the executors of his orders.
The guards who were on duty last night have gone to bed.
Eight of them, like Niu Laosan and Wang Dabiao, were infected with typhoid fever.
Song Yang still has nineteen available guards.
Ten of them are leading the epidemic prevention team on patrol, and the remaining nine are following orders outside the door.
"Do you remember the tasks assigned to you?"
"remember!"
"Now split up and carry out the execution immediately! Come back and report to me immediately if there is any emergency!"
Song Yang assigned tasks to the nine people outside the room.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t read or not, it’s all communicated orally.
Each person can do one or two things and don't worry about not remembering them.
The nine people were ordered to disperse.
After sending the people away, Song Yang could finally breathe a sigh of relief and sighed while lying on the bed:
"Thank you for having these Guardsmen!"
The common people's determination and efficiency in executing orders were still inferior to those of the Guards.
At such a critical moment, the Guards must come.
…
Song Yang, who had been guarding all night, fell asleep, and nine guards soldiers dispersed with orders to execute them.
The first is to lift the ban and allow uninfected people and non-close contacts to go out for activities.
However, masks must be worn, and people in the camp must be kept more than two steps apart.
All the anti-epidemic patrol teams on inspection went to chop wood and make water.
The water source problem is still an issue that needs to be solved urgently.
Boiling medicine requires a lot of water, and water production cannot be stopped.
After that, three guards led three teams. The main task today was to search for medicinal materials.
Fortunately, they all escaped from Jiangzhou City, and everyone knew where the medicine shop was.
After the three search teams left.
Two Guardsmen led a team of 400 people and began to clear the open space south of the camp.
And built a thousand thatched houses as quickly as possible.
The construction of the isolation area must be completed this afternoon.
Before nightfall, all patients and close contacts must move into the isolation area.
This policy is supported by the vast majority of survivors.
Because of the quarantine policy, there are precedents in all dynasties.
In the eyes of ordinary people, throwing patients into isolation areas to fend for themselves is also a measure to protect the majority of people.
Of course, the infected people absolutely don't want to move in, but now they have no choice.
After the natural disaster, their physical condition is generally very poor.
I couldn't run away even if I wanted to, so I had to wait and be moved to the quarantine area.
The patients are praying to God to bless them and allow them to survive this ordeal.
The sixth soldier set out with a young and strong squad, carrying tools such as sickles and axes.
Their mission is to remove all weeds near the camp.
Especially the reeds near the lake must be cleared away.
At the same time, all puddles and puddles inside and outside the camp must be filled.
The reason for doing this was that Fang Zhe's situation reminded Song Yang.
Mosquitoes are also an important way to spread diseases.
Cleaning up puddles and weeds can effectively reduce mosquito breeding.
Song Yang was still puzzled by this matter. He asked the guards and they all said that there were many mosquitoes now.
But Song Yang has been awake for seven or eight days, and no mosquitoes have come to bother him...
The seventh soldier is responsible for leading a small team to burn plant ashes.
Song Yang requested that enough plant ash or lime should be spread throughout the camp and isolation area.
At the same time, this team of people is also responsible for boiling water to ensure that all patients are adequately hydrated.
Of course, we also assist others in distilling contaminated water and filtering capillary water.
The eighth soldier set off with fifty men and was responsible for moving the livestock shed to a place a hundred steps north of the camp.
Livestock sheds are also an important breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Now I don't have the energy to cleanly raise the livestock, so I can only move the livestock shed out first.
Speaking of the livestock shed, after these days of searching, the livestock shed has been expanded several times.
The species inside are also very rich.
There are more than thirty pigs, more than ten sheep, four oxen, six buffaloes, seven mules and two donkeys, and several chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and cats.
There are also ninety-three horses!
These horses are all Jiangzhou Guard's war horses.
Previously, Jiangzhou Guard had 500 war horses.
It's a pity that when the natural disaster came, the war horses were trapped in the stables.
After being burned and shaken, only these ninety-three horses were left.
This team of people moving livestock is also responsible for building public toilets.
Although Song Yang prohibited urination and defecation in the camp before, people also had roughly fixed places.
But because the camp was a primitive one, there wasn’t even a decent toilet.
When the public test is completed today, open defecation will be banned.
The ninth soldier is responsible for leading people to disinfect supplies.
Including clothing, masks, gloves, tableware and other items.
Boil everything that can be put in the pot.
At present, disinfection methods are relatively simple and can only kill viruses through high temperature.
Once these things happen, there will basically be no one left in the camp.
There was really no work to do, so Song Yang didn't leave them idle.
Every household distributed pieces of cloth and sent them back to me to make masks.
The pattern of the mask has been circulated, and most people these days can do some manual work.
It's not difficult to sew according to the pattern.
Two layers of cotton cloth sandwiched with one layer of silk have a much better effect than covering the face directly.
At this time, the entire survivor camp moved under the guidance of the prince.
Everyone has contributed their part to the fight against the epidemic.
Song Yang only slept for one morning.
Just before noon, good news came back.
A team searching for medicinal materials in the ruins of the city discovered a drinkable well in the backyard of a medicine shop in the city!
For the survivors, this is definitely a timely help.
Last night Song Yang was still worried about creating water while fighting the epidemic, but today he solved it.
Although it is troublesome to transport water back and forth, it is much faster than distillation and capillary transport.
Once water is available, freed manpower can be invested in fighting the epidemic.
Song Yang immediately arranged a team of fifty people and pushed two flatbed trucks to transport water.
If it were just to transport water, it wouldn't actually take fifty people.
But the road in the city is full of debris, and the flatbed truck can't push it at all.
We can only rely on people to carry buckets out one bucket at a time, so more people are needed.
