Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky screen appears.

The video shows a storyteller wearing a black hat and talking eloquently.

He played a film strip and began to speak:
[In the history of public health, there is a name more terrifying than the plague itself.]

【“Typhoid Mary.”】

[She is not a scythe-wielding Grim Reaper, nor does she launch a biological attack.]

[With just a healthy body, he set off a 20-year-long typhoid panic in New York in the early 30th century. ]

[The story of this Irish immigrant maid is considered the most controversial case in the history of human struggle against infectious diseases.]

【Mary's story begins in the summer of 1906.】

[New York banker Charles Warren and his family were on vacation in Long Island when a sudden outbreak of typhoid fever occurred, and 11 of the 6 people were infected.]

[In those days, typhoid fever was often considered a disease of the slums.]

【Rich areas rarely appear. 】

[Health expert George Sober intervened in the investigation and quickly identified a common point: the new cook Mary.]

[Mary Mellen is an Irish immigrant woman who, with her excellent cooking skills, shuttles between wealthy families and earns a much higher salary than an ordinary maid.]

[Mary didn't know this at the time.]

[She is rewriting medical history in an unprecedented way]

[Sob traced back Mary's work records over the past seven years and was shocked to find out.]

[Among the seven families Mary stayed in, 7 people were infected with typhoid fever, and one died.]

[Even stranger still, Mary herself never showed any symptoms of typhoid fever.]

[She had neither a high fever nor diarrhea and looked healthier than anyone else.]

[At that time, the medical community had just discovered the concept of "healthy carriers."]

[Some people can carry and spread germs without getting sick themselves.]

[Sob suspects that Mary is a healthy carrier.]

[When Sober tried to persuade Mary to undergo a medical examination, the stubborn Irish woman picked up a large fork and threw him out.]

[Mary was furious that it was an insult to her to accuse her of spreading disease.]

[After all, she had never been sick, so how could she be the source of infection? ]

Outside the sky.

Late Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jue saw Typhoid Mary on the sky curtain. She had a ruddy complexion, a strong body, and even more strength than an ordinary man.

Zhang Jue couldn't help but feel very confused:

This Typhoid Mary... doesn't she look so healthy?

Could someone like her be a carrier of the horrible infectious disease - typhoid fever?

Then why is she fine?
Zhang Jiao, who has been working at the grassroots level for a long time and treating the plague for ordinary people, is very interested in the story of Typhoid Mary on the sky curtain.

While feeling puzzled, I also recalled the patients with various symptoms I had seen during my years of medical practice.

Suddenly, Zhang Jue was stunned and muttered to himself:
"It seems that three years ago, when I was making talisman water in the village by the river, I also met such a person."

"His entire family died of the plague, but he himself had no symptoms."

“But when he got to the village across the river, the whole village broke out in plague.”

“Could it be that he is the so-called healthy carrier?”

……

For a moment, Zhang Jue fell into thought.

The sky curtain also continues.

[Mary herself and many people around her don't believe this.]

【However, the scientific data is irrefutable.】

[The health department eventually arrested Mary by force, and tests confirmed that her feces and urine contained large amounts of live typhoid bacteria.]

[At the end of the 19th century, the medical community had just confirmed that typhoid fever was caused by Salmonella typhi and was transmitted through fecal-oral transmission.]

【But it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. 】

[Why does a person who looks completely healthy become the messenger of death? 】

[Finally, with the support of the court, the New York Department of Health isolated Mary in the infectious disease hospital on North Brother Island.]

[Mary also became the first person in American history to be sentenced to life imprisonment for being a "healthy carrier."]

[And this quarantine lasted for two years. ]

【But it kicked off a 30-year-long controversy. 】

[Mary, who was isolated, always insisted that she was innocent, and her experience aroused public sympathy. ]

[The media described her situation as a "typhoid prisoner."] [Many people believed that the government had violated her freedom, and some even accused it of discrimination against Irish immigrants.]

[In 1910, Mary reached an agreement with the Health Bureau: she could regain her freedom if she promised not to work in the catering industry.]

【However, Mary could not accept the low-paying laundry job.】

[Five years later, she returned to her old job under the pseudonym "Mary Brown," working in kitchens across New York.]

[The result was another typhoid outbreak at Sloan Hospital, which infected 25 people and killed 2.]

[Health officials followed the clues and found Mary working under an alias in the kitchen again.]

[This time, public sympathy ran out, and she was sent back to North Brother Island permanently.]

[During her 23 years on North Brother Island, she went from angry resistance to living in silence, and eventually died in solitude.]

[The autopsy showed that a large number of typhoid bacteria were still alive in her gallbladder, confirming her lifelong carrier status.]

[Mary's tragedy lies not only in her personal stubbornness, but also in exposing the limitations of public health management.]

[The medical means at the time could not cure the carrier state, and society lacked an effective tracking mechanism.]

[This caused her to continue to spread germs among unsuspecting families.]

【The "Typhoid Mary" incident had a profound impact on the modern public health system. 】

【In her time, "asymptomatic infection" was unheard of. 】

[It is difficult for ordinary people to understand why they are considered "dangerous". ]

[The Typhoid Mary incident also promoted the revision of the U.S. Public Health Act, establishing the government's right to enforce quarantine in the prevention and control of infectious diseases.]

The video ends here.

Barrages also appeared one after another.

"Fuck, I thought it was just a story, but it turns out this person really exists?"

What is Nurgle's Chosen Champion?

"If it were the Middle Ages, Mary would have been burned as a witch."

"When I was a kid, there was a book called Horrible Science. After reading the book on epidemics, I remember diphtheria, typhus, and Typhoid Mary."

"Mary's specialty is peach ice cream, super addictive!"

"This woman is also quite miserable. She has been isolated for decades."

"The government offered two options at the time: remove the gallbladder or stop being a chef. Mary chose not to be a chef anymore."

"In 1915, Mary had been released from isolation for five years and almost everyone had forgotten about her. As a result, she went to the maternity hospital again and harmed many people."

"Ah? Then he should be sentenced for maliciously spreading disease."

"Mary wants a high salary as a chef and a comfortable life. She doesn't care about the lives of others."

"That's why she kept her identity secret and continued to work as a chef, and continued her poor hygiene habits."

"The importance of health certificates has been highlighted."

《If I put myself in the shoes of the diners cooked by Mary, I would shudder.》

Is there still typhoid fever now?

"Now that sanitary conditions have improved and antibiotics are prevalent, it is basically gone."

Outside the sky.

Zhang Jiao watched the entire video carefully and fell into thought and emotion.

"I see. But it is indeed a pity."

"From her own perspective, she was in good health but was isolated for decades because of her illness."

"I have spent most of my life in an infectious disease hospital that is like a prison."

"It's unfortunate."

But Zhang Jue looked at the sky screen again, and saw an obstetrics and gynecology hospital where a typhoid outbreak was caused by Typhoid Mary, resulting in dozens of infections and casualties.

There was another inexplicable anger.

I couldn't help but say with some pity for their misfortune and anger at their lack of resistance:
"Five years had passed since she was first isolated, and she was almost forgotten by the world."

"Why do you insist on becoming a chef when you know your situation?"

"He knew his condition but still hid it and worked as a chef."

“This is extremely irresponsible!”

"Alas, sometimes, if the people of the whole village and the whole city could work together, many plagues in our Han Dynasty would not have developed to the terrible extent they are now."

"And Tianmu was right in the end."

"To eradicate the plague nationwide, it is not something that can be done by just one doctor. It requires the joint efforts of the whole world."

"If my great cause can be accomplished."

"The most basic thing is to make the plague disappear from the world of Yellow Turban!" (End of this chapter)
