Chapter 968 First, control the source of infection! Second, cut off the transmission route! Third, protect susceptible populations!
Conada is dead!
He coughed up blood and died outside Yumen Pass!
When the Sogdians around saw the motionless Kangada on the ground, they all roared in fear.
Some people were so frightened that they knelt down and stretched out their hands to the sky in a prayer gesture, muttering something unintelligible.
Li San Niang was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and pulled Shao Yang's junior brother to his feet, then shouted to Qiu Xiang, "Water! Water! Where are our water bags?"
Qiu Xiang took the water bags from the horses that were parked nearby.
Li San Niang stepped forward and immediately began to strip off Shao Yang's clothes, revealing that his front was splattered with blood!
Then he pulled the plug and gestured to his junior brother from Shaoyang to wash his hands with the water.
At that moment, Gong Xiangwu also ran over, and he naturally saw the corpse on the ground as well.
Li San Niang turned her head to look at the group of people, and thought about the cold numbers in the textbook before she transmigrated. Her heart, which had already sunk to the bottom, sank even further.
Before Li San Niang transmigrated, the plague had been largely eradicated across China, except for sporadic reported cases in agricultural and pastoral areas.
That was all thanks to the extensive rat and flea eradication campaign that year, which brought the highly contagious plague under control.
Of course, this is also thanks to the widespread use of antibiotics and a strong public health system, which has enabled the plague to be controlled in small, sporadic cases and reduced the mortality rate, preventing the infectious disease from spreading on a large scale!
But that was modern society, with antibiotics! With government leadership! With regulations!
The textbooks say that the plague in medieval London lasted for more than three hundred years, causing the population of a country to decrease by one-third or even more than half!
It can be said that this plague has the power to destroy a country!
So how could Li San Niang not be afraid at this moment?
How could her heart not sink?
If things go wrong, none of the people outside Yumen Pass will survive!
It's even possible that the people in these states will all die out in droves!
So, how can we prevent and control such infectious diseases?
Only three things were etched into Li San Niang's mind:
First, control the source of infection!
Second, cut off the transmission routes!
Third, protect vulnerable groups!
In other words, first, exterminate rats and fleas; burn their carcasses!
Those who are already infected must be strictly isolated!
Second, thorough pest control and disinfection must be carried out in the quarantine area!
Doctors and other rescuers must take proper protective measures!
All people, livestock, and vehicles passing through the checkpoint must be thoroughly controlled!
Third, those who have never been sick must stay away from this checkpoint!
We still need to take precautions, just in case!
In fact, it's about eliminating the source: eliminating the animal hosts and fleas of the plague.
Two-chain disruption: Blocking transmission between animals and humans;
Three-pronged approach: a combination of protective measures and drug treatment.
There is no other way but these three points!
Therefore, Li Sanniang turned her head and shouted to Gong Xiangwu, who was staring at Kang Ada's corpse on the ground: "General Gong, this plague is vicious!"
Everyone in this caravan must be quarantined immediately!
Everyone who has had contact with Conada must be kept under surveillance!
If anyone disobeys, General!
"Then we'll have to resort to surgery!"
Li Sanniang pointed to the clothes stained with Kang Ada's blood that she had thrown down on the ground, "General, these blood-stained clothes and Kang Ada's body must be burned in a deserted place as soon as possible!"
Burn it completely!
Otherwise, if it were eaten by other rodents or animals in the desert, there would be a risk of the disease spreading!
The Han people and soldiers around them could clearly hear what Li San Niang said to Gong Xiang Wu!
An Yan, the caravan manager, and An Randian, the leader of the Sogdian caravan, both of whom could understand Chinese, were so frightened that their legs went weak and they could hardly stand!
They never imagined that the disease would be so serious!
On the way, they naturally noticed that something was wrong with Conada's appearance;
But at that time they had just arrived at the Jade Gate Pass after a long journey through the desert, and since they were merchants all year round, it was common for them to fall ill on the way.
Who would have thought this was not an ordinary disease, but an epidemic!
An Yan had a Han Chinese father, and although his father did not give him a Han Chinese surname and instead made him take his mother's surname, his father personally taught him Mandarin.
Therefore, An Yan spoke the best Chinese among the caravan members.
Therefore, he can naturally understand Chinese.
Even though Li San Niang spoke to Gong Xiang Wu very quickly, An Yan still managed to understand everything.
At this moment, he knelt on the ground, staring at Kang Ada's dead body, and suddenly shouted out: "It was Kang Ada who loved meat!"
We finished all the jerky on the way, and he was craving it, so he went to hunt gerbils to eat!
It's a gerbil!
Those gerbils are poisonous!
Following An Yan's words, An Ran Dian also thought of how Kang A Da had gone to catch gerbils to eat when they rested on the road.
The thought of eating gerbils made An Randian look at the man kneeling on the ground not far away, his palms facing upwards, praying to the heavens.
This man was the one who shared the gerbils with Kang Ada back then!
Conada, who ate the gerbil, is already dead. So, will this man who also ate the gerbil die?
This person just can't stand being nagged!
Before An Randian could even speak, the man suddenly started trembling, and within a breath or two, he collapsed to the ground, convulsing!
Li San Niang immediately stepped forward, pulled out her gold needle pouch from her waist, picked up a gold needle as thin as a hair, and stuck it into the Linggu acupoint (a point I made up) of the person convulsing on the ground.
With a few turns of the golden needle, the person under the needle stopped convulsing and stabilized within a few breaths.
Li Sanniang, who was kneeling on the ground administering acupuncture, turned to the dumbfounded Gong Xiangwu and shouted, "Please help me, General!"
Gong Xiangwu then realized what was happening, responded, cupped his hands in greeting to Li Sanniang, and turned to direct the soldiers beside him!
The Tang soldiers, armed with swords, were a force that even the foreign tribes crossing the border dared not provoke!
The strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty were not merely a mirage or a dream!
No one dared to disobey the Tang army's orders. Even though they were afraid and terrified, they all trembled and supported each other as they entered the isolation zone prepared for them, following the instructions of the Tang soldiers.
Soldiers with their hands wrapped in cloth and their faces covered with gauze carried over a stretcher and moved Kangada's body away.
Oh, and they even took away the outer garment of the junior brother from Shaoyang, which was stained with Kang Ada's vomit blood!
All that remained were the dark red bloodstains on the sandy ground.
Li San Niang summoned soldiers and ordered them to light a fire on the bloodstains. She instructed them, "Don't stop until it's completely burned. Then dig out this sand and throw it into the pit where the bodies were burned!"
