Come on, Dr. Wu

The departure time was finally set on November 1st. At this moment, the climate in the East China Sea region is pleasant and sunny, which is the most beautiful time of the year for people to yearn for and linger.

Many tourists flocked to enjoy the endless charm and joy of this coastal city during this golden period. However, as people come, some people will leave.

Wu Xiaofu and his team's schedule was to leave the country and go to a foreign country. Facing such a farewell, most members of the team were filled with an indescribable feeling of reluctance and a hidden sense of worry.

However, in sharp contrast are the doctors who come to the First Affiliated Hospital for academic exchanges and learning.

They have traveled from far away places, across thousands of mountains and rivers, from their respective countries to arrive in China, this mysterious and hopeful land. Their original intention was nothing more than the desire to bring the advanced and effective methods of preventing and controlling the Ebola virus back to their own country to benefit more people who are suffering from the disease.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to truly master and master these prevention and control methods.

Now Wu Xiaofu and others are about to take on the important task of bringing valuable knowledge on preventing and treating Ebola virus to their homeland, which undoubtedly brings great surprise and encouragement to everyone. Therefore, many doctors who participated in the exchange activities can't wait to prepare to embark on the journey back home.

Most of them were in a hurry and chose to leave immediately. After all, although the study experience in China was difficult and hard, the daily life was extremely comfortable and pleasant. This strong contrast made them dare not stay here for too long, for fear of being confused by the comfort and happiness, and thus having the idea of ​​staying.

Mane and Rafi were the last to leave, preparing to leave with Wu Xiaofu and the others.

This is also the arrangement of the hospital. China and Country L have already communicated. Mane and Rafi will serve as translators for Wu Xiaofu and others and return to Country L together. If there are any problems during the journey or after arriving in Country L, it will be easier to handle them with two locals like Mane and Rafi.

Wu Xiaofu naturally would not refuse this.

On November 1, the sun shone on the airport runway, and a huge passenger plane slowly started its engine, making a deafening roar. As the speed gradually increased, the plane took off into the sky like a nimble bird.

Since we were taking an ordinary passenger plane and could not directly reach Country F, we had to make two transfers to finally reach our destination. This long journey made us feel a little tired, but when we thought about stepping into that mysterious country, we couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

Before leaving China, Wu Xiaofu and his companions might have felt reluctant and worried, but after setting off, their feelings were not so complicated. After all, in China, there is an old saying: Make the best of it if you are here.

After all, it is a trip abroad. For many people, this is the first time. They are also full of curiosity about the destination. They heard that it is a place with beautiful natural scenery.

After several takeoffs and landings, the plane finally landed smoothly on the land of Country F. When I stepped out of the cabin, the first thing that caught my eye was this small country. Compared with the huge China, it was not even as big as a southern province of China.

Country F is adjacent to the famous Ebola River, which meanders like a green ribbon, bringing vitality and vigor to this land.

At present, agriculture and animal husbandry are still the leading industries in F State. Perhaps many people mistakenly believe that the entire F State is a rich land with endless oil and abundant resources, and that everyone is rich. But this is not the case. There are only a few countries that are truly famous and rich because of resources such as oil.

In fact, there are dozens of countries distributed in the vast land of State F, most of which are little known and have never even entered the public eye.

Just like the country F in front of them, if Wu Xiaofu and others had not come here in person, they would probably never have imagined that there is such a land in the world.

Here, people are still busy running around to solve the problem of food and clothing. It is not until they experience life here that they deeply feel how happy it is to be a Chinese. That kind of stability, wealth and hope for the future are what many F people dream of but cannot achieve.

Even Wu Xiaofu, who was always confident, was surprised and surprised. He originally thought that he came here just to prevent and treat the terrible Ebola virus, but the current situation is far beyond his expectations. The problems he faces are far more complicated and severe than he imagined.

In addition to the dreaded Ebola virus, there are also a large number of basic viruses and various types of bacteria, and many other problems waiting to be solved. If these problems cannot be properly addressed and handled, the consequences will be disastrous for people like them who are setting foot in such a harsh environment for the first time. Perhaps before they officially start working, many people will fall down because they can't adapt to such harsh living conditions.

It must be admitted that despite the difficulties faced by the local residents, most of them are indeed healthier than these outsiders. This may be because after living in such an environment full of germs and challenges for a long time, the locals' bodies have gradually produced corresponding antibodies, thus having stronger resistance.

In addition, suddenly arriving in a completely unfamiliar place requires a certain amount of time to adapt to the differences in climate, diet, lifestyle, etc. Therefore, on the first day of arrival, some people in the team began to experience symptoms of acclimatization, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other discomfort reactions, which caused considerable trouble to the subsequent work.

Especially in terms of water use, although the water is not completely unpurified, the methods used to purify the water are really unacceptable.

Due to the defects in its purification method, it is impossible to effectively kill germs to meet safety standards. Not long after, some people have developed gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking such water.

This was unexpected for Wu Xiaofu, who had just arrived. He had thought that he would be able to get to work quickly on the first day after arriving and begin providing treatment services to local patients suffering from Ebola. However, the reality was that he had to first deal with the health problems caused by his own team members drinking the water.

In order to carry out the follow-up treatment work smoothly, the first task is to enhance one's own resistance to various diseases. Therefore, the top priority is to ensure that one will not be attacked by the epidemic. In desperation, Wu Xiaofu discussed countermeasures with Dr. Han and Dr. Lu, and decided to prepare a batch of Chinese medicine for everyone to use.

This batch of Chinese medicine is mainly developed for the more common local viruses and bacteria, and can play a certain role in preventing and alleviating symptoms. Given the current situation, it is obviously impossible to immediately start formal medical assistance work in a short period of time. The only thing to do is to wait patiently and make plans after everyone's physical condition improves.

Wu Xiaofu had no problem. At this moment, Wu Xiaofu suddenly thought of a problem. It seemed that since he merged with another soul, his body became stronger day by day. It seemed that he had not been sick for more than three years. Meldor Hospital was the largest hospital in Country F. In this hospital, a special center for the treatment of Ebola virus patients was set up.

Due to the particularity of the Ebola virus, this ward is located some distance away from our hospital. Our hospital is in the city center, while the Ebola patient treatment center is in the suburbs.

The personnel from Country F have also taken this issue into consideration, so they want to arrange Wu Xiaofu and his team around the hospital area first, and then send them back and forth by special vehicle when they need to carry out work.

Wu Xiaofu only found out about this situation after he arrived.

He did not refuse because he was strong and not afraid, but the same might not be true for others. Moreover, even if it was for the purpose of better preventing and controlling the Ebola virus and working nearby, Wen Xinhan and the others had to adapt to the environment here.

Wu Xiaofu did not go to the suburbs first. The Ebola virus has been raging here for a long time. To be honest, there is no point in comparing the facts in just one or two days. Everyone should understand that haste makes waste.

What's more, this is destined to be a process that requires long-term struggle, so you must first understand the situation here so that you can be clear about all kinds of resources and be able to use them when you really need them.

First of all, there are medicinal herbs. There are quite a lot of them here, including some of the herbs needed for traditional Chinese medicine.

But some of them really don't even grow, so these need to be dispatched from other places, or imported. These things are actually more important than visiting those Ebola patients now. Wu Xiaofu brought Zhou Yunlai and others to start counting, registering, summarizing, and finding people to report.

City M is located not far from the Ebola River, and the climate here is very unique. The temperature in all four seasons of the year is basically higher than that in the East China Sea region, and heat has become the eternal theme of this land.

In the first few days after arriving, people often feel dizzy, as if every cell in the body is protesting against the abnormally high temperature. Sometimes they even have an illusion that their body temperature is rising with the temperature of the surrounding environment, but everyone knows that this is just a joke.

In this quiet morning, Wu Xiaofu decided to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. Before he knew it, he strolled to the beautiful Ebola River.

Surprisingly, not long after, Mane and Rafi also came here at the same time. Maybe it was fate, or just a coincidence.

Hearing Mane's question, Wu Xiaofu smiled and nodded in agreement. The Ebola River in front of him was indeed beautiful, with a kind of pristine beauty that Wu Xiaofu had never experienced before.

The river water is crystal clear, sparkling, and the riverbanks are lined with green trees and flourishing flowers and plants. This river seems to be rarely disturbed by human activities, and there is almost no trace of artificial development. Unlike those rivers that have become turbid and smelly due to excessive water withdrawal by local residents, the Ebola River has always maintained its purity and nature.

Because water is precious, the creatures here know better how to live in harmony with nature and maintain this hard-earned source of life.

The Ebola River is like a winding dragon, running through City M and several nearby cities. It is not only the lifeline for people in these places, but also the cradle of countless childhood memories and deep emotions.

"We grew up here and have a deep love for this land. However, as children, we always had a question in our hearts: Why does such a beautiful and nourishing mother river have the same name as that terrifying demon? As time passed, we gradually let go of this puzzlement and began to accept reality."

Although rivers provide valuable resources necessary for life, they also bring various diseases, even the nightmarish demon - the Ebola virus.

Although there is no conclusive evidence that the Ebola virus originated directly from this river, it is undeniable that many residents have unfortunately contracted this deadly virus due to long-term drinking of water from this river. Whenever Mane thinks of this, his words reveal endless helplessness and sadness.

In fact, if you want to prevent and control the Ebola virus more effectively, there is a more ideal way, which is to change the water source. If you can do this, you may be able to significantly reduce the probability of the virus spreading.

After all, when faced with a virus attack, simply relying on treatment is not the preferred strategy. Only by cutting off its transmission path and controlling the source of infection can the goal of complete cure be achieved. However, this is a problem that will never be solved. After all, the people along the coast basically rely on this river for survival. How can they change it whenever they want?

Not only humans, but also various creatures such as livestock and wild animals along the coast basically regard this place as their only source of water.

You know, the Ebola virus is not just transmitted between humans. This terrible virus is more likely to break out among primate groups, and humans are actually just one of many susceptible targets.

In other words, as long as the monkeys in the forest continue to fetch drinking water here every day, they may be in close "contact" with people infected with the Ebola virus at all times.

In such a severe situation, how can we do effective prevention and control work? When Wu Xiaofu heard Mane say this, he chose to remain silent.

Because this was not his first time to set foot in this area called the Ebola River, Wu Xiaofu was actually already well aware of the situations mentioned by Mane.

However, even though he knew all the situations clearly, how could he deal with them? After all, although Wu Xiaofu was a doctor who could treat patients, he was not capable of managing the entire river! (End of this chapter)
