Once the plague really broke out, even if Roque wanted to help, he was actually powerless, after all, even if Johannesburg's medical conditions were better, but in the face of the plague, Johannesburg was too busy to take care of himself, and he was unable to help Orange at all.

After returning to Johannesburg, Roque immediately went to Abu, who was an expert in this area.

"The first patient was sent to Ziwei Hospital yesterday, Dean Colin Bellamy organized a consultation with doctors and determined that the patient was infected with plague - now the hospital has been quarantined, all doctors and nurses who have been in contact with the patient are in isolation, Director Dunn has imposed martial law in Ziwei Town, and organized residents to carry out the whole town to exterminate rodents - our problem here should not be big, the outbreak of plague is also related to the health situation, the health situation of Ziwei Town is first-class, the probability of an outbreak of plague is not large, this morning, The hospital organized doctors to examine the students of Ziwei Public School, and the results were not bad, no students were infected with the plague, and now Ziwei Public School has been closed, and a checkpoint has been set up at the entrance of the town, and no one is allowed to enter or leave during the plague-" Buck is leading people to disinfect every corner of Ziwei Town, and almost everyone in Roque's line of sight is wearing masks, and no one dares to take the plague lightly.

"It's not enough to just disinfect, we must take this opportunity to carry out a major sanitation rectification of the town, all the garbage must be cleaned out, the residents' awareness of hygiene should be improved, and the residents should be urged to take a bath and change clothes every day, so as to minimize the danger as much as possible." Roque is demanding, in the past, Roque emphasized hygiene, and some people disagreed, but fortunately Roque had a tough attitude, otherwise the situation would have been more serious now.

Let's not forget that it was still 1902, and the special drug to deal with the plague, streptomycin, was not invented until 1943, and before the invention of streptomycin, prevention was the most effective means to deal with the plague.

Abu said the same.

"The best way to deal with plague is prevention, if a patient is found, or a suspected patient, it must be strictly isolated, no visits and contact with the patient, and at the same time attention should be paid to disinfection and treatment of the source of infection, and everything related to the patient must be buried or incinerated; Plague patients can also be treated, the patient should be properly treated, the ward and room should be disinfected regularly, the patient should be hydrated in time to facilitate the excretion of toxins, and the excrement and secretions of the patient should also be properly disposed of in a timely manner. "Abu is indeed very professional and has compiled a manual on the plague.

With this manual, it was worth all the money that Roque spent on Abu!

"Thank you, Professor, come with me to Johannesburg, Mr. Mayor needs your face-to-face report—" Roque was about to rush back to Johannesburg, Philip was about to convene a meeting that all officials had to attend, and Roque had taken a leave of absence to come to Abu.

The situation was indeed serious, and on the way back to Johannesburg, Roque saw a body truck carrying the body out of Johannesburg for disposal.

In the past, Roque may not have cared about such a scene, but now he immediately associates it with the plague.

"What's the situation?" Roque asked the police officer on duty.

"Plague!" The policeman with the mask was concise and to the point.

The shadow of the Black Death has shrouded Europe for hundreds of years, and Europeans have accumulated a lot of experience in the fight against the plague, so before Roque and Philip have returned to Johannesburg, the Johannesburg city government has already taken action.

Abu's manual provides ample guidance for fighting the plague.

After reading Abu's manual, Philip immediately ordered all officials to take immediate action to bring the plague under control before it had yet to break out on a large scale.

The police station also has a heavy workload, everyone is equal in the face of the plague, everyone else can stay at home and stay out, but the police have to maintain law and order and continue to patrol the streets, so after Philip meets Abu, Roque also invites Abu to the police station to give the police a hygiene lesson.

When it comes to mobilization, Johannesburg has blown up Pretoria and Orange.

In just one day, the entire city of Johannesburg had gone into action to completely clean up the sanitary corners of the city, eradicating rats and fleas throughout the city, and all patients, as well as suspected patients, were sent to a quarantine area set up on the outskirts of the city, outside which the police were on standby, and anyone who walked out of the quarantine area without permission would be shot and killed by the police.

The quarantine area also needs medical personnel, and in Johannesburg, only Ziwei Hospital has a strong medical force, so Philip hopes that Roque can send doctors and nurses from Ziwei Hospital into the quarantine area to treat patients in the quarantine area.

"I'm sorry Mayor, I can't let the doctors and nurses from the hospital into quarantine." Roque directly rejected Philip's request.

"What then? Could it be that the people in quarantine are left to fend for themselves? Philip was very angry, saying that there were also Chinese in the quarantine area, and Roque would not give up with those Chinese.

"There is not enough protection for health care workers right now, and Professor Abu and Dean Bellamy are working on a better way to do it, unless we have a way to ensure that the doctors and nurses who enter the quarantine area are not infected, we can only watch the people in the quarantine area fend for themselves." Roque insisted that doctors and nurses are also human beings, and Roque could not force those doctors and nurses to die.

That may be an exaggeration, but entering quarantine without perfect protection is similar to death.

"Locke, pay attention to your identity, you are the police chief of Johannesburg!" Philip was furious, and this was the first time anyone had rejected Philip in person.

"Yes, I know who I am, I want to protect not only the patients in the quarantine, but also the people outside the quarantine, especially the doctors and nurses, each of them, we have worked so hard to train, if they have perfect protection, I will let them into the quarantine to treat the patients, but not now." What Roque hates the most is that morality kidnaps others, and if you want to kidnap morality, then kidnap yourself.

Even if Philip is Phyllis's father, Roque will not compromise.

"Good, good!" Philip paced back and forth in the office in anger, but he couldn't do anything about Roque.

In fact, there are not many people in the quarantine area now, and Roque is not desperate to save him, but he just hopes to wait a few days for Abu and Bellamy to find the best plan before they can provide treatment services for patients in the quarantine area.

From Philip's point of view, of course, he hoped that as few people died as possible because of the plague, and if a plague came down and the death toll in Johannesburg was in the single digits, then it would be a miracle that Philip would become a hero of the British Empire.

"I guarantee that in this plague, Johannesburg will be the best of all the Transvaal and Orange regions." Roque couldn't embarrass Philip for too long.

"You promise?" Philip is also an old man, and immediately got off the donkey down the slope.

"I promise!" Roque swears.

"Good, good!" Although they were exactly the same words, the tone was completely different: "You return to Ziwei Town now, and you must ensure the safety of Ziwei Public School at all costs." ”

That's when Philip remembered Phyllis.

"Yes, Ziwei Hospital has checked all the students of Ziwei Public School and confirmed that no students have been infected with the plague, and now Ziwei Town and Ziwei Public School have been closed, and Phyllis is safe." Roque knew what Philip was worried about.

Philip nodded, the expression on his face finally looked a little better, and waved his hand to let Roque leave on his own.

Instead of rushing back to Purple Town, Roque went to Kronstad to find Martin first.

The situation on farms is much better than in the cities, and the farms around Johannesburg are used to having dogs, and as the farms become regular, it is of course essential to prevent rodents.

Since the last potato harvest, whether rats love potatoes or not, almost every farm in Johannesburg has cats, and some farms have raised many of them, which effectively reduces the number of rats and objectively curbs the spread of plague.

Since Johannesburg's notice, Martin has carried out a house-to-house survey of the farms around Kronstad.

The results were still good, at least so far, no plague patients have been found in Crondstad.

"Not a single one?" Roque was in disbelief.

"Not a single one!" Martin is full of confidence, this kind of thing is not easy to cheat, once discovered, the dismissal of the official is light, and there may be a prison sentence.

"Very well, we must continue to work hard to strengthen the health propaganda to ensure that there is no large-scale outbreak of the plague-" Roque must have praised, and if Philip knew about the situation in Crondstad, he would be very happy: "Pay attention to the situation in Bloemfontein, don't look at our side is not bad, the situation in Bloemfontein must be very bad, at this time, we must be strictly guarded, and we must not allow any Boer to enter Johannesburg." ”

Roque knew that the sanitary situation in Bloemfontein was not good, so the epidemic in Bloemfontein should be very serious, and now Roque was most afraid that the Boers would bring the plague into Johannesburg, so whether it was a patient or not, Roque refused to allow any Boers to enter Johannesburg.

"What if someone breaks in?" Martin Thrower.

This is the aftermath of the trial of Austin Pence, and with the lessons of Austin Pence, anyone in the future will have to weigh it twice when facing the Boers, and Martin has just returned from Bloemfontein, and it is obviously not immune.

"Arrest, shoot if necessary." You're welcome, the situation is worse now than it was on the day of the conflict, the Governor's Office has strictly banned the movement of people during the plague, in other words, the police and garrison have now received the gold medal of immunity from death, even if they shoot, there is no need for the government to be criminally responsible.
