Chapter 843 825. Circuit Breaker Measures
“Typhus?”
Hippocrates vaguely heard Lane's murmur, and he repeated it.
And looked at Lan En eagerly and passionately.
“Have you ever seen this disease?”
More than just seen.
Lan En thought to himself.
He also treated the disease himself.
On the island of Kefalonia, this acute infectious disease almost destroyed the entire island.
This kind of infectious disease is actually not difficult to treat, but the concept of "not difficult to treat" is put into the modern medical and chemical industry system.
Most of the treatments required for this disease require chemical synthesis of highly effective drugs.
“But I don’t know why? Why is it that only the blacksmith is so safe from the plague?”
"I can't treat too many people. Under the current conditions, it is very difficult to cure this disease. I have only treated less than ten people at most before."
The expressions of Socrates and Aspasia were very different from his.
Aspasia pursed her lips and paced around excitedly, as if Lan En's deeds had inspired her thinking.
“I now find that the type of people in Athens who are least vulnerable to the plague are the blacksmiths.”
After a few courses of treatment, you will basically be fine. At most, the rash on the skin will leave some scars.
Hippocrates was not pretentious. He confirmed from his previous conversation that Lan En was an expert like him.
Lan En said with a frown.
“It sounds like you’ve got a clue?”
In this era, this is almost a miracle equivalent to "favoring the gods"!
Hippocrates elaborated his discovery seriously, although even he himself had no deeper understanding of it.
"What do you mean?" Hippocrates' eyes widened, and even the wrinkles on his bald forehead deepened due to his shocked expression.
“No! No no! The meaning is definitely not that simple.”
But in today’s context.
Lan En frowned and shook his head heavily.
Hippocrates’ excitement was even more palpable.
Lan En was somewhat interested in the progress of the founder of Western medicine in front of him, so he extended his hand to invite him.
“You said you have successfully treated the plague?!”
"Although it is cruel to say this, the most important task in dealing with the plague should be on 'isolation'! Treatment of people who are already sick should only be done when there is spare time. This is to save more talents. The choices made.”
“That’s just less than ten survivors, don’t make such a fuss.”
"Treatment? No one lets you treat him!" He also put his hands on the table and leaned forward to stare into Lan En's eyes.
Even if such people were bragging about having ‘cured the plague’ just now, it would be good for them to share their experiences.
Because of high-temperature sterilization and sterilization, even if you are just standing next to a flame, the content and activity of pathogenic factors in the air will drop dramatically.
This kind of knowledge is something that any student who has done biological experiments next to an alcohol lamp in Lan En's home world knows.
But in the ancient Greek world in the nascent stage of civilization, this was a phenomenon that was puzzling and even had to be forcibly classified as the "blessing of the **** of fire". “If we just want to stop the plague, then I have a feasible plan now.”
Lan En spoke clearly and logically.
Mentos organized the pathogenesis of typhus in his brain and quickly sorted out preventive measures.
“Burn the body of the sick person, including their clothes. The disease is spread by contact between the sick person and ordinary people, and a small bug on the sick person’s body.”
“We have already started to do this, although the progress is not optimistic yet.”
Phidias said regretfully while quickly writing down Lan En's words on the clay tablet.
In today's cultural atmosphere, the act of hastily cremating corpses is almost sacrilegious, so by now, although many corpses have been burned in the city of Athens, large areas of black smoke that have not been blown away by the wind have even gathered in the sky.
But that’s just a family that couldn’t bear it anymore, and they just exploded the corpses of the sick people at home.
There are also a large number of corpses stranded during the ceremony, becoming a source of infection.
"Not only corpses and personal belongings, but also mugwort and sesame oil will be burned on the streets. The vomit and excrement of the patients will also have to be burned."
Flame, the power of purification.
This image exists in many civilizations.
Lann’s words were recorded on clay tablets by Hippocrates as a treasure.
This is not only because Lane "claims" to have cured the plague, but also because these preventive measures do coincide with some vague ideas that Hippocrates had already born in his mind.
It’s just that before Lan En said these ideas, his logic and knowledge reserve were not enough to sort them out and list them.
“Yes, yes!” Hippocrates murmured excitedly as he remembered, “We can stop the plague! With our knowledge and experience!”
After describing the current measures to curb the plague, Lan turned his head and turned his attention from Hippocrates to Aspasia.
“I really don’t know what you were arguing about just now. Blocking the plague and political propaganda cannot be done at the same time. Must it be either/or?”
“Change your thinking, Aspasia, and Socrates.”
Lan En tapped his temples at the two of them.
Aspasia has a tendency to lower her head and turn her head, which shows that although she is an excellent politician, she still resists from the bottom of her heart when being criticized.
Although this resistance is slight, it still exists.
But Socrates was different. When this short, fat, and hairy man heard that he needed to change his thinking, his eyes almost overflowed with eagerness and excitement for knowledge.
Lan En felt that maybe in the second before his death, his curiosity about 'death' would be stronger than his fear of 'death'.
“Political propaganda does not necessarily have to promote political ideals and visions throughout the process. Isn’t it okay to promote the knowledge of stopping the plague at the middle point?”
“Is it okay to gather the crowd together, then light flames and wormwood around the gathering, and let the high temperature heat waves and smoke sweep over the waves of people who come to listen?”
“For those who come to listen to your political propaganda, their healthy performance during the plague will become a living example of your propaganda.”
“There is a lot of political participation in Athens, that’s true. But I guarantee that there are far more people interested in health than in politics.”
The political propaganda Lan En has seen is much more diverse than the current group of Athenians.
Binding political propaganda with practical interests is a very simple method.
But in today's situation, it is definitely useful.
