Chapter 646: Spanish Flu (Part II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This time, in order to prevent the flu as much as possible, almost all of the staff members selected were very loud ones. It was precisely because of this relationship that although the staff member just now only shouted two or three voices, the entire building, and even a few nearby buildings, heard it.
Similarly, the people in the building are more aware of the recent flu, and they are even more afraid of it, for fear that they will be infected with the fluββββββ although people who have the flu are usually sent to the hospital for treatment, but before the development of antibiotics, even doctors do not have a particularly good solution.
What is particularly troubling is that even though people are sent to hospitals and properly treated, there are still patients who die, and now they are facing the deadliest virus of this era, even the beginning of the twentieth century, no, to be exact, it is probably the most lethal virus of the twentieth century, even if the lethality rate cannot be compared with the Ebola of later generations, but...
Think about the virus with a very high lethality rate, but it has only killed more than 2,000 people so far, compared to the Spanish flu, although the lethality rate is not very high, it can ......... In just two years of history, it has caused tens of millions of deaths...
In contrast, Ebola's combat effectiveness may ββββββnot even be called 5, and this kind of scumbag virus has begun to point the highest lethality rate to the scumbag virus before it is even full...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
What is the fastest circulating in this era? Of course, it's a rumor, and sometimes the rumor spreads even faster than the soundββββββ especially after having a mobile phone or the Internet, but fortunately there is a telegraph in this era, so even if it is inferior, it will not be too inferior.
Bodies are constantly being brought out of the hospital. There is no doubt that there will be a lot of rumors, especially after the death of a loved one, not everyone can control their feelings, so many things will come and go...
Although compared to later generations. In this era, the credibility of the government and hospitals is very high, so the people of the country will not say something outside like later generations, and before they have thought about the details, they have already believed it in their hearts...
However, influenced by these rumors. After all, there is still a little resistance in the hearts of the people, so if possible, they are still reluctant to go to the hospital, at this time, this preventive measure, of course, has become their most popular...
Soon. The staff knocked on several houses on the first floor, and then delivered the things in hand.
Actually, there is nothing, as mentioned earlier, the government's finances today simply cannot support too expensive things, so they are just some cheaper, but very practical gadgets.
For example, masks, for example, disinfectants, etc...
The importance of masks cannot be overstated. The sanitizer is also very practical, plus a series of other small items...
All in all...
"That's already the best you can do..."
Standing beside Yan Shao, 6 Ying said softly.
As Yan Shao's pillow man and personal secretary, 6 Ying is naturally very aware of Yan Shao's pressure these days, on the one hand, it is a huge financial pressure, and on the other hand, it is a sudden outbreak of epidemic virus, and almost everyone, including Yan Shao, is overwhelmed.
But thankfully...
As the brain of the country and the family of the brain, Yan Shao and others have been properly protected, and perhaps because of this protection. Including Fumiko and Yan Xiaoyu, Yan Shao's family has no signs of infection...
It's just that...
ββ¦β¦β¦ The smell of this disinfectant is too bad..."Fans in front of him with his hand, Kaoru Otsuki couldn't help but frown.
Sighing lightly, Yan Shao patted Kaoru Otsuki's head as if he was treating his naughty sister. "Forget it. Let's be patient for the time being, it's a last resort..."
Yan Shao also doesn't like the smell of this disinfectant, but there is no way, at the moment, in order to prevent the threat of influenza, in addition to masks, it seems that there is only such a more passive measure to choose from...
Although he didn't like the taste very much, Kaoru Otsuki also understood that what Yan Shao said was right. No matter how bad the smell of this disinfectant is, it is much stronger than being infected by a virus, so temporary patience is necessary...
"By the way, how are the following precautions being taken..."Maybe it's because under the strong smell of disinfectant, even the taste of the juice has changed a little, and it doesn't taste good, so Yan Shao didn't drink the juice as usual, but just drank ice water.
However, after taking a sip, Yan Shao still looked at 6 Ying and Kaoru Otsuki.
As Yan Shao's personal secretary, the task of the two is not only to be Yan Shao's bed companion and relieve Yan Shao's mood, but also to be responsible for many things. The situation reported by some of the following departments is usually handed over to Yan Shao by the two of them, and because of the importance of this work, some things that are not particularly confidential are also relatively clear to the two of them.
Of course, this responsibility is very important, and it also requires a certain amount of ability, but the two have been secretaries by Elainor's side for a period of time, and they know this relatively well, and the business of Yushi Group is also very busy, and the two of them can be regarded as having a certain foundation, so with the help of others, the two of them are doing quite well, at least so far, they have not made any major problems.
At this time, hearing Yan Shao ask about the precautions to be taken below, 6 Ying and Otsuki Kaoru glanced at each other, and soon 6 Ying was the first to speak.
"The progress is very smooth, and the production capacity of masks and disinfectants is also expanding, and I believe that it will soon be able to meet all the needs of the country..."
"In addition, under the arrangement of the government, the hospital side has also carried out relatively smoothly, a large number of patients are admitted to the wards, receiving proper treatment, and some hospitals that are already overcrowded have also built simple houses on vacant land with the help of the government, so that they can live in them for the time being, but only in terms of treatment and other aspects. There is still no better way for the hospital..."
"In some public places, preventive measures have also begun, such as stadiums and other public facilities have basically been closed, and even if they have not been closed, police have been arranged in accordance with the government's requirements. Penalties such as fines for pedestrians who take precautions, such as masks, etc., ensure that everyone takes better precautions when they go out. β
Not surprisingly, even ordinary people know very well that people can easily spread the virus when they get together. But even if you know, it is impossible for humans to survive alone after all, so even if you know, you will still naturally gather together.
The government has nothing to do with this, except for closing some facilities such as dance halls, and can only force people to wear masks and other things in public. In order to avoid large-scale infection.
I won't mention how effective this will be for now, but...
It should still be much better than not taking any measures...
In the same way, exhortation is definitely not good for ordinary people, so the government will use fines. As long as you see someone on the street without wearing a mask, you will be fined a dime at a timeββββββ the government has released masks for free, and if you don't wear them in this case, you are not responsible for your own life. It is also not responsible for the lives of the people around him, and the punishment is also a matter of course.
And what about the Chinese people...
For most Chinese people, the fine of a dime is still very heavy, so even if it is for the sake of their own wallets, they will try to remember it...
"Of all the public facilities that are still open, except for hospitals, only schools and other places are not closed for the time being, but even so, students are still required to wear masks wherever they go. Teachers are responsible for supervising specific matters, and if any teacher is too lax, not only will he be punished, but also the principal and other personnel will be criticized, and to ensure that there is no asylum situation. The Ministry of Education also plans to send people to the following 'Weifu private visits' to do some temporary spot checks, just in case..."
Schools are arguably one of the few public facilities that have not been closed, also because there are still very few countries in the world that have closed schools. Again, with adequate measures in place, the likelihood of infecting each other is not particularly high, at least if both the students and teachers who have been infected have already been admitted to the hospital...
However, even so, there should be measures in place, such as masks.
Although this thing is very simple, it is not bad at all, at least it can play a role in some preventive measures when it is critical.
In fact, the first country in history to use masks was China. In ancient times, people in the court began to cover their mouths and noses with silk scarves in order to prevent dust and breath pollution, as recorded in "Etiquette": "Cover your mouth, fear that the breath will touch people." and Mencius? Lilou wrote: "If the Xizi family is unclean, everyone will cover their noses." βγ It was very unhygienic to cover the nose with your hands or sleeves, and it was not convenient to do other things, so later some people used a piece of silk cloth to cover their mouth and nose. Mark? Polo in his book Marco? In the book Polo's Travels, he recounted his experiences and experiences during his 17 years in China. One of them reads: "In the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, those who offered food covered their mouths and noses with silk cloths to breathe their breath and not touch the food and drink." "The silk cloth that covers the mouth and nose in this way is the original mask.
At the end of the 19th century, masks began to be used in the medical field. Ledech, a German pathologist, began to advise medical staff to use gauze covers to prevent bacterial infections. At the beginning of the 20th century, masks became a must-have item in public life. One of the main reasons is because of the Spanish flu, and people have to use masks to defend against this terrible virus.
It's just that everyone who has experienced the school days probably knows that children hate restraint the most, so although adults are for their good, masks or something......... I'm afraid it's hard to get them liking.
At this time, the teacher needs to step in...
Junior high school, high school and even college aside, at least for the children in the primary school days, the teacher's deterrent power is still greatββββββ at least when Yan Shao was young, even if he was a naughty child, he would be stunned in the face of the teacher, of course, I don't know how Yan Shao was in the bear children of later generations.
However, in this era, bear children are still relatively simple...
With the supervision of a teacher, the situation is much better. Naturally, there is also the possibility of irresponsible teachers, so. Only then do the principal or the Minister of Education need to come forward to supervise.
Nowadays, the vast majority of schools in the country are state-owned, not to mention that most of the teachers and principals in this era are enthusiastic about education, even if they are not, considering that the issue of promotion is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, they can't help but be honest...
So even if it's for your own promotion. These principals also have to be cautious. At the same time, the temporary spot check of the Ministry of Education also avoids the possibility that these people cover each other...
"In addition, the preventive work on the part of the army has also been launched, and in fact, according to the situation reported by various departments, the preventive measures of the army are probably the most perfect..."Kaoru Otsuki smiled bitterly. Not only do they wear masks on their daily work, but the amount of disinfectant used is also very large, and if it were not for the number of gas masks, it would not be possible to provide all officers and soldiers. The army even plans to make every soldier wear a gas mask in their daily lives..."
Ahem, is this a prohibition in the army...
And because there were a large number of officers who had returned from Europe with their troops, they more or less brought the way of protection against chemical weapons into their daily lives...
"Besides..."Kaoru Otsuki visibly hesitated when she said this. Based on the reaction below, it seems that some councillors are building yì. The production of disinfectant and masks is distributed to some of the following factories to expand production......... According to the information obtained by the Special Affairs Bureau, it seems that some entrepreneurs or parliamentarians are jealous of the profits, so they plan to get a piece of the pie, so they will propose such a proposal..."
This is not surprising at all, not to mention that there are about 500 million people in the country. One mask per person is equivalent to 500 million masks. In the same way, this kind of thing also needs to be cleaned, and after a long time, it needs to be replaced, and if you turn it over, it will become billion, 1.5 billion, 2 billion, 2.5 billion...
And so on and so forth...
Although the water does not know how long this flu will last, there is such a huge demand in the country. But it has already attracted the attention of many people.
What's more, there is a market for disinfectant, not to mention that every family needs disinfectant, just in public places in China, the amount of disinfectant to be consumed every day is an astronomical amount, and Yan Shao's presidential palace alone does not know how many bottles are consumed...
This. It's another huge market...
Add in a series of other things, and it stands to reason that the entrepreneurs or parliamentarians below will choose to step in...
And even though it's just a vase, the oversight role of the National Assembly and the local councils still exists, so they still have some weight in their words, which is one of the reasons why the entrepreneurs and landlords below still hook up with the local councillors and parliamentarians...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Are they..."Hearing this, Yan Shao frowned slightly. It took a long time for the frowning brow to unfold. "It's okay, it just so happens that the production capacity is a little tight, and it's not impossible to let them get involved, but ........." Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at Kaoru Otsuki and 6 Ying with a stern face. Sue sΓΉ below, we must pay attention to the quality problem, if any one has a quality problem, I must punish them for bankruptcy! β
The reason why Yan Shao did not expand the source at the beginning was because he was worried about quality problems. After all, capitalists do anything for profit. Of course, Yan Shao and Elano are different, although they can also be called capitalists, and they are also the largest capitalists, but at the same time they are also the leaders of a country, and there is no doubt that when the interests of money and power are compared together, the latter is undoubtedly more important...
To use a more popular saying, if you have power, are you still worried about having money?
On the other hand, if you only have money, you have to worry about people with power coming to you...
For Yan Shao and Elaino, the influence on politics is undoubtedly much more important than that bit of monetary interest. So when other companies rack their brains every year to find ways to evade taxes, Yan Shao and Elaline will not do this at all, because compared with the impact of being exposed, the benefits gained by doing so are too insignificant, and the gains outweigh the losses...
But unlike Yan Shao, others are interest-oriented, even among the parliamentarians......... So if you let them be responsible, it's hard to say that you can guarantee quality.
But......... Now that there is a quality problem, and the people below are also eyeing it, they simply open up the market and include their goods in the scope of government procurement. It's just that the quality supervision is to be strict, just like Yan Shao said, if someone dares to get some black-hearted products to fool people, Yan Shao will definitely punish them for bankruptcy...
"Got it!" Hearing Yan Shao say this, Kaoru Otsuki and 6 Ying wrote down these instructions in their notebooks. Anyway, they are only responsible for reporting the situation, and their mentality is naturally relaxed. In fact, as Yan Shao's wife and ......... Girlfriend? οΌο½ο½ngο½enοΌοΌ They don't need to worry about money at all, even if Yan Shao dies in an accident, his huge family property is enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime, and they naturally don't need to worry about money...
On the other hand, with the government including some private enterprises in the scope of procurement, the production capacity of disinfectants and other products has suddenly become sufficient. Of course, a large number of black-hearted products followed, but after several manufacturers who knew the law and broke the law were punished, the situation suddenly improved...
Although those businessmen also have some backstage behind them, even if their backstage is hard, can they still be too hard? As for Yan Shao, although he is not an iron-faced and selfless person, he does not intend to give face to anyone except his own family...
It's a pity that among Yan Shao's four wives ("qingren"), the only one who has relatives in China, 6 Ying, as early as many years ago, the only relative (her father) has been given to Shenjiang...
In this way, it seems that there is no one worthy of their help to blow the wind on the pillow...
