Chapter 851: It’s over, Gretel has also learned bad things
"According to death record statistics over a 20-year period, approximately one-third of the plague in Nevis originated near ports, hotels and other areas."
"Referring to Black Crow Swamp's records of epidemics across the country, before these plagues occurred, similar epidemics had occurred in areas near Nevis or in seaports. There is a certain degree of correlation between the two in terms of the time and location of the outbreak."
"It is speculated that some of the plagues that broke out in Nevis in the past 20 years are related to exogenous transmission. And this kind of transmission can be suppressed through early identification and management of migrating people."
Amidst the aroma of tea, sweet cakes and biscuits, Gretel's paper was spread out in front of each review member. It was obvious that the review members intended to use this paper as a tea during afternoon tea time.
Entertainment.
The reason why we want to drink tea and read the paper together is because the dynamic graphics produced by Taling Mo SS are matched with the text version of the paper and are projected on the screen, frame by frame, and played continuously.
The dynamic image, the spreading red dots on the map, and the records of the outbreak outside Nevis marked on the edge are particularly vivid and shocking when viewed together.
"So... our [Plague Lord]'s request this time is to control the people entering Nevis by land and water?"
As usual, the member of the Protection Department who led the speech made a small joke. He received a nod and smile from the Necromancy Department member and a glare from the Evocation Department member...
The member of the medical branch who submitted this paper rubbed his forehead helplessly. Really, he jokes about this topic every time, and he never gets tired of talking about it... The same goes for those two, who explode whenever they pick it up...
…
"No." He tried to bring the topic back to its original position:
"His idea is that a balance should be reached between controlling the flow of people and promoting economic vitality, and the greatest results should be achieved with the least consumption. For this reason, Master Nordmark applied for the next stage of empirical testing."
"well."
"I knew that was the case."
“A common tactic used to defraud funds.”
"Another good boy has fallen."
Sighs kept coming and going. First, start a small project that requires a relatively small amount of funding, for example, 500 contribution points. This way it is easier to pass, and it is easier to get funding.
Then, through preliminary research, explain the necessity and urgency of this topic, and then apply for a larger one...
Such a rolling cycle makes the snowball grow bigger and bigger. It is relatively easier to apply for a big project and ask for a large amount of funding than to start.
Intermediate, mid-level and high-level magicians who are not qualified to start large projects with certainty often use this trick. The gentlemen of the review committee spend at least one-third of their working time all year round, fighting against these little ideas.
"Uh...that's not true." The member of the medical branch who submitted the motion was a little embarrassed:
"The empirical experiment designed by Master Nordmark is not large in scale, and the cost is not high. He even said that as long as the experimental procedures can be followed, he doesn't mind letting the parliament send people to do it, as long as he sends people to supervise it."
"Huh?"
"So generous?"
"How did he design it?"
Gretel's experimental design divided all high-risk susceptible people entering Nevis into three groups. The two experimental groups used on-site inspection and isolation and quarantine methods respectively:
The on-site inspection method is to send a healer, preferably one who can cast the "Fortune Observation Technique", as this will be the fastest on-site inspection of each transported victim and isolate those suspected of being infected on the spot.
The rest of the people were taken away by the workshop owner who came to pick them up. Then, the parliament sent special personnel to follow up and observe the spread of the disease within eight to ten days;
The isolation and quarantine method is to isolate this group of victims on the spot and provide accommodation, food, drinking water and bathing. After three to five days, the treatment will be handed over to the workshop owner, who will then follow up and observe whether the disease has spread;
The control group can be taken away directly, and the observers go directly to workshops, factories, mines...
"The demand is not high."
"Yes, it doesn't take long, and it doesn't require many people. A level 1 priest can do this job. Even if you hire him for a month, it won't cost much."
"It doesn't have to be a professional... Herbalists and the like can do it, right? I don't expect them to release healing spells. If you see someone who is sick, record it. It can be done by one person, right?"
"This Nordmark mage is really trying his best to save money as much as possible... By the way, he really doesn't want to do it himself? How about leaving it to the council?"
"That's right. His application stated that the experiment can be controlled by the parliament, as long as it meets the design plan." The member of the medical branch sighed softly:
"Using the recently transferred victims of the Aiolan disaster as experimental subjects, the parliament will evaluate the costs and benefits. In order to prepare for the activation of emergency plans when encountering overseas epidemics in the future, or when large-scale transfers of disaster victims are needed to receive fleeing people."
Then there was nothing more... Grete's wish was just to help these victims and explore effective related mechanisms.
"Is this enough? He doesn't even want to do it himself? Yes, he is already an eighth-level mage. He may not like such a small project, but he can also give it to his disciples and students to practice!"
But everyone under Gretel is busy. Everyone has something to do in the Mage Tower and the hospital. In the year without summer, food prices soared, large swaths of the people fell into hunger, and their health conditions continued to deteriorate.
At this time, Oak Grove Hospital, which was willing to allocate part of its efforts to undertake the treatment of people, became the last hope for many poor people.
As for Grete, he has to lead daily treatment work, lead people to surgery, research scoliosis treatment, guide necromancers to research cholera vaccines, and guide Annevia's team to research new antibiotics. He is also very busy.
Turn around.
Not to mention, the project of transporting disaster victims from Aiolan Island (and possibly the Kingdom's main island) to the New World is even more urgent.
"Ah...where can I find information..."
Grete held his head. If it were a previous life, he would have definitely gone to find information on black slave trafficking without hesitation. The trafficking targets were uniform, and the people were all in the bottom cabin, relatively isolated from the crew.
The main reason is that the batches are large, there are many records, and the information is rich and detailed. I seem to have read somewhere that the mortality rate was at least ten percent when black slaves were trafficked from Africa to the New World?
However, where did the original data used in previous research come from?
Gretel was wandering around in confusion. I asked SS to search in the parliamentary thesis database, but there was nothing there. I searched in the evocation, medical, and necromancy department's thesis database, but there was nothing there.
How many poor people were sent to the New World on one ship? What was their food, drinking water, and excretion conditions like?
How much is the shipping cost per person?
How many people will die on the road and what is the cause of death?
"Who can tell me where I can find the original documents..."
