Chapter 152: Spanish Flu

Mu Yang could only make up a small lie when asked about Elver's question.◇↓◇↓ Novel.¥f

"We know each other. After all, he is my commander and is also responsible for military supplies, but we, the subordinate officers, need to flatter each other."

After Mu Yang said that, the three of them laughed. In the army, everyone knows how popular the quarantine officer is.

"Elf, can I go and see him?" Mu Yang asked.

Elver Abbott hesitated. After all, it was an infectious patient. He didn't want Mu Yang to be infected. The current medical conditions were helpless against this disease.

"Are you sure, you should know how powerful the infectious disease is." Elver Abbott said.

"Yes, I know, but I want to go and see it and show my concern. Maybe I can think of other ways to treat Allen Swift's disease." Mu Yang said.

"Okay, but you have to wear a mask and a coat. I don't want my friends I finally met to get infected with the plague."

"Thank you for your concern, Elver, I will be careful."

Mu Yang did not follow Elver Abbott to see Allen Swift as soon as possible, but made an appointment to go there in the afternoon. After all, Mu Yang did not want to be infected for no reason, so he wanted to prepare. Mu Yang paid the bill to the three of them and said goodbye and left.

After walking out of the tavern, Muyang found a relatively hidden alley and returned home with an idea.

Check the information quickly, the Spanish flu is in great quantities.

On March 4, 1918, influenza occurred in a military camp in Kansas, USA, and then influenza occurred in China, Spain and Britain. The symptoms at that time were only headaches, high fever, muscle soreness and loss of appetite. However, in the autumn of 1918, it broke out in a large number of global outbreaks. By the spring of 1920, about 1 billion people were infected and nearly 40 million people died. The source of its name is that 8 million people in Spain were infected with the flu at that time, and even the Spanish king was infected with the disease, so it was called the Spanish-type influenza.

Mu Yang was also shocked. This time, there were more people who died in the entire First World War. Is this God's punishment?

Continue to check the information: The Spanish-type influenza is one of the most deadly infectious diseases in human history. Its global average mortality rate is about 2.5%-5%, and there were three stages of outbreak. The first wave occurred in the spring of 1918. It was basically just a common influenza. The second wave occurred in the autumn of 1918, which was the wave with the highest mortality rate; the third wave occurred in the winter of 1919 to the spring of 1920, and the mortality rate was between the first and second waves. After that, it miraculously disappeared.

Mu Yang thought that it was June now, and I don’t know whether it was the first or second wave. In fact, sometimes, the virus will not be classified so carefully. These are just the general classification of the outbreak by humans. They will definitely not be absolutely accurate. They still have to look at the patient’s symptoms.

During World War I, people did not have the concept of bacteria, so they did not know what caused this cold. In later studies, it was generally believed that the influenza virus in 1918 was very similar to the swine flu virus. It is a virus closely related to the influenza virus (h1n1). To this day, this virus can still be found in pigs in some countries. Other studies have shown that the h5n1 virus that occurred in Asia in 2005 was similar to the 1918 virus, but it was difficult to spread to people.

No matter what, Mu Yang felt that he could try it in this direction.

He also thought about getting some blood samples from Allen Swift, then going back to modern times to study it, and then getting the best treatment plan, but later he gave up on this idea because it was very dangerous to do so.

If the virus leaks and causes a new round of influenza storm, you will be blamed. If this virus mixes and mutates with other viruses in a new environment and becomes a new virus, it is very likely to bring disaster to your world.

"Even if the mission fails, even if it is only one in ten thousand possible, I cannot take this risk, because once an accident occurs, I will become the sinner of the entire human race."

Mu Yang finally gave up this idea with certainty.

As for the task of treating Allen Swift, just do your best. Moreover, there are many drugs and methods for treating similar diseases on the Internet, and I may not be able to experiment with treatment methods in 1918.

Mu Yang found a drug called "Daffe" online, which is said to be the only drug that can effectively treat avian influenza viruses. However, speaking of this guy, it is really not cheap. It costs 30 yuan per pill. After a course of treatment, it will cost hundreds of yuan.

This is an alternative, check the others.

China is the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine, so naturally many people have developed ways to treat influenza viruses and avian influenza viruses.

Isatis root, (who once sold for a while, and its value increased ten times), Shuanghuanglian Granules, oral liquid for clearing heat and detoxification. There are also Chinese herbal medicines honeysuckle, Huang Ling, and Forsythia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this virus is caused by external wind and heat, and requires wind and heat to relieve exterior symptoms, clear heat and dampness, cool blood and detoxification.

We also need to prepare strong antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cold medicines. Anyway, Mu Yang needs to prepare some of them that can be used.

Anyway, if it cannot be cured, continue to cure it, and let’s talk about it after it is cured.

Muyang made a regular list, which contained disinfection masks, rubber gloves, dustproof clothing, dustproof glasses, head covers, and disinfectant potions, all of which were for yourself.

A lot of medicines were also prepared, including Isatis root powder, Shuanghuanglian cold medicine, and the oral liquid for clearing heat and detoxification. A lot of Chinese medicines were prepared. He also specially consulted the doctor who sold Chinese medicine, and asked the doctor to prescribe a few pictures for the symptoms he guessed. Whether it works or not, it was first used. In the old Chinese doctor's confused eyes, Mu Yang ran away with several large bags of Chinese medicine.

As for the special drug "Daffe", we naturally have to prepare two boxes, one box of more than 300. Damn, the Swiss company really dares to offer a price, it is really unreasonable to operate exclusively.

It's so expensive, I don't know if it's right.

After preparing these, Mu Yang went home and traveled back to 1918.

He and Elver Abbott agreed on the afternoon. Now he will go back and come to find Elver Abbott in the afternoon.

Muyang walked along the path towards the church. When he reached a fork in the road, he saw two beautiful figures walking from the other road. Muyang looked closely and saw that it was Nurse Lina and another female nurse named Gratis in the church medical area.

The two of them were wearing casual clothes, which was a long trouser dress that was as long as their ankles. Although in Mu Yang's eyes, the fabric and style of the clothes were very old, the youthful atmosphere on their bodies could not be concealed. They both had a rattan basket on their arms, which was very rural.

"Hi, Lina, Gletise." Mu Yang greeted the two of them very familiarly.

"Hi, Joseph, why are you here?" Lina asked curiously.

"I went there for a drink, but I didn't expect that there was a small tavern hidden here, which was really good." Mu Yang pointed at the back with his thumb.
