Two hundred and fifty-five chapters plague war (1)
Although plague, a highly infectious disease, has been treated in a variety of ways in the 21st century, the most effective means are still strict quarantine and isolation. The Northeastern plague pandemic in the early 20th century relied on isolation measures. In the absence of any
The spread of plague was eradicated with the use of specific drugs.
Their current medical conditions are actually not much different from those of the Manchu Qing government in the early 20th century. So this is what Lin Motian can do.
Fortunately, there has not yet been a large-scale outbreak. As long as the source is isolated in time, it is possible to stop the outbreak before it occurs.
One thing that was done at the right time was the comprehensive accommodation of beggars and homeless people. The infection rate of fleas and other parasites in this group was nearly 100%. The living environment was filthy and filthy, making it a natural gathering place for pathogens. Beggars
It also has the characteristics of a wide range of mobile contacts, making it easy for the disease to spread.
Comprehensive containment is equivalent to cutting off this huge source of infection. From this point of view, Mayor Liu’s determination is just right. Of course, thanks to the early establishment of the police system in the past six months, many basic administrative matters are now completely dependent on the police.
The service system is running.
However, there must be a place to isolate the people who came into contact with the patients. Not only the plague contacts, but also the leprosy patients they would take in in the future.
Lin Motian opened the large-scale Guangzhou-Hong Kong map hanging on the wall and browsed it carefully.
Islands are dotted around the Pearl River Estuary. The islands can effectively isolate pedestrians, and the environment on the islands is relatively healthy. This is because he decided to locate the isolation area for severe infectious diseases on the island. At first glance, there are many choices, including the one in the middle of the Pearl River.
There are inland river islands, and there are also islands in and outside the Lingding Ocean. However, to meet the isolation needs, first of all, it cannot be too far from Guangzhou, otherwise it will take too much time to transport patients each time; and it cannot be too close to the land, otherwise it will not be able to provide isolation.
The role of the patient. There must be fresh water on the island.
Although the various islands in the Inner and Outer Lingding Ocean are suitable from all aspects, they are all too far away from Guangzhou. Even if you choose the nearest Longxue Island in the Inner Lingding Ocean, it will be 86 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Even if you use a large boat or the like
It takes more than ten hours to go from Guangzhou to Longxue Island by motor ship. Not only the ferry time to transport patients is too long, but also it is difficult to arrange for security.
If you choose an inland river island in the Pearl River, it is close to Guangzhou, but isolating patients becomes a problem. Although the Pearl River is wide, there are many fishing boats on the river, which greatly increases the possibility of escape, and many islands in the river have been developed.
The establishment of quarantine areas for farmland and villages will inevitably affect the normal production and life of the people on the island.
In the dilemma, Lin Motian circled several alternative islands. Anyway, the final decision lies with the Guangzhou Municipal Government.
That night, Lin Motian was called to the city government to hold an "epidemic prevention work meeting" with Liu Xiang and others. Faced with the terrifying prospect of a possible plague outbreak, Liu Xiang simply said: "Everything will be done according to your request."
As for the island isolation zone, Lin Motian proposed several alternatives, including Jiangxin Island and offshore islands. In the end, Liu Xiang approved the establishment of an isolation zone on Changzhou Island in the Pearl River.
"Although there are several villages on Changzhou Island, the population is very small. We cannot drive the villagers away from the villages." Liu Xiang signed the letter of appointment and authorization with a worried look on his face, "These more than 10,000 people are going to
It’s too late to build a camp right away…I’m afraid I’ll have to sleep in the open.”
"The campground is not a big problem. It's summer now. Just build a thatched shed. It won't kill anyone from the cold." Lin Motian said, "Who is responsible for building the campground? I still have some things to communicate with him in detail."
"Just ask Lin Baiguang about this." Liu Xiang nodded towards Lin Baiguang, "If you have any requests, you can directly contact the person in charge and I will send a meeting minute. All levels of the city government will listen to your instructions."
Lin Baiguang nodded: "Tell me if you have any specific requirements. I will arrange it right away."
As he was talking, he had already taken out a note pad from his official bag and a Montblanc pen and started writing. Before Lin Motian could speak, he had already written a piece and took out his seal from his pocket.
Go up, fold it and give it to the confidential secretary.
"Send to the National Army Headquarters immediately, quickly!"
"I have ordered a company of the White Horse Team to move to Cheung Chau Island immediately. Now the Coast Guard has a guard post on it. It should not be in the way, right?"
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Lin Motian said quickly. He was really "thoughtful". Not only did he make preparations immediately, but he also specially mobilized a North Korean company that could not understand the language to go to the island to guard the island.
"Now tell me your request."
Lin Motian said that in fact, this quarantine area does not need too complete infrastructure, nor does it need to accommodate tens of thousands of people for long-term residence. Because the incubation period of the plague is very short, the medical community generally believes that it is six days.
"... As long as they are sent to the island and do not get sick after nine days of isolation, they can be considered free of infection. They can then be transferred to Hong Kong's refugee camps for resettlement. So there is no need to pay attention to the living facilities."
The isolation camp set up by Lin Motian is divided into three parts. The first part is the purification facility. According to the "purification" standards, the quarantine personnel who go to the island are bathed and disinfected, their hair is shaved, and all their clothes are burned.
"...a special garbage incinerator must be built to burn the clothes of quarantine personnel, and a crematorium must be built to cremate people who died during quarantine. Sewage and feces need to be specially disinfected and cannot be discharged directly.
Entering the river..." Lin Motian came one by one. According to his idea, the camp should be divided into three areas. The first area is the observation area. The purified personnel will be kept in the arrival area for 24 hours before being transferred to
The detention area is quarantined for nine days. The last one is just a treatment area, where people who become ill during the quarantine period are accommodated. Each area must be completely isolated.
It is said to be a treatment, but in fact they do not have gentamicin, streptomycin, tetracycline or chloramphenicol. The only effective antibiotic is sulfonamide, but the purity of the product is not good, the efficacy is not compromised, and drug allergies alone can cause
Many death cases have occurred. Important treatment support means, intravenous drip equipment and materials are also in short supply. Treatment is actually "waiting to die". The purpose is actually to prevent patients from transmitting germs to others before death.
"...The isolation camp does not need to occupy the entire island. In fact, it only needs a small area. The area is too large to be guarded, but there must be enough separation between the various divisions. The positions of each other cannot be up or down."
He spoke a little, and Lin Baiguang wrote a little in his notebook. After he finished speaking, Lin Baiguang also finished writing:
"Is there any more?"
"That's all for now." Lin Motian said, "There must be more complete drawings and information in the big library, but it's a pity that I have to go back to Lingao to find them."
"Just send someone back right away to check," Lin Baiguang said. "You write an application and I will arrange for someone to check the information."
"Okay." Lin Motian secretly admired the leader's resolute and uncompromising pace.
"Two stoves will take some time, but we can make do with simple things." Lin Baiguang flipped through his notebook, "I will arrange the construction materials and workers, mainly wood, reed mats and wire; for food supply, we will apply for emergency rations from the joint logistics headquarters in Hong Kong.
"For tableware and pots, we should get them from the Planning Institute's Guangzhou warehouse. There should be a lot of looted items there. For clothes, we can get them from the Planning Institute's warehouse in Hong Kong. There are refugee camps there, so there should be some reserves in the warehouse."
As he spoke, he wrote on the note pad. After he finished writing, he immediately asked Liu Xiang and Lin Motian to review and sign. After a while, several "applications" were completed.
"Let's split up and take action quickly." Liu Xiang's face turned pale. This was really a wave of ups and downs. It's really hard to be the mayor of Guangzhou.
Lin Motian naturally had no time to spare, so he immediately discussed the work of the police system with Mu Min.
The Senate does not yet have formal grassroots organizations such as street offices in Guangzhou. Many grassroots administrative work is carried out through three levels: police station - police station - Baojia. Therefore, epidemic prevention also requires strong support from the police system.
.
Previously, the Guangzhou Municipal Government has issued a "Public Health Manual". This manual is open to all grassroots cadres and police officers, and each Baojia chief has also been issued a copy. In addition to some basic "keep clean and hygienic" content, the manual also includes "except for the four
In addition to "harm" and "good living habits", there are also descriptions of symptoms of many common or uncommon infectious diseases. The purpose is to enable these grassroots personnel to identify and report them in a timely manner.
In order to prevent grass-roots staff and security chiefs with low levels of education from misunderstanding various proper nouns when reporting, the health department simply uses terms such as No. 1 disease and No. 2 disease when compiling this part.
to replace.
Now he requires the police system and the security system to pay close attention to the health of the personnel in the film according to the symptoms mentioned in this manual. The patrol police must conduct daily inspections of the district and listen to the security chief's instructions to all residents and temporary residents of the film.
Health reports of personnel shall be reported to the health department of the municipal police station on a daily basis. The health police shall also arrange random inspections and inspections.
In addition to these, each insurance policy is also equipped with a full-time quarantine officer. The quarantine officers also patrol on a regular basis like police officers to understand the exact health status of all residents in the insurance policy and collect information on their contact with plague patients. If there are suspected or confirmed cases of plague, they must
Isolate and report immediately.
In order to ensure that cases can be reported in a timely manner, he did not dare to leave matters such as a clear diagnosis to local Chinese medicine doctors in Guangzhou; the number of doctors, not to mention professional issues, was far from enough. Lin Motian originally wanted to use all of them.
Civilian cadres or Fubo Army soldiers, but facts have proven that it is impossible to allocate so many manpower to him for full-time use. (To be continued...)
