Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 360 The research value of influenza, Haichao is not that fat!

"Didn't you go on a business trip a few months ago? Is it your turn again this time?" Zhu Lin heard his mother's words and asked her curiously.

Fu Zhaojun said:
"This time it's not a question of who gets their turn. Everyone will be mobilized. All provinces and cities close to the Far East will need manpower."

"We are the capital, and since they are next to each other, we have to go."

At this point, she sighed:

"The last major flu outbreak was in 1968."

"This year is 1977. It's only been less than ten years."

After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Fangyan immediately remembered the 1977 Soviet Far East flu pandemic that he had learned about in school in his previous life.

According to the test report of the China Influenza Center, this flu is the second most severe flu recorded in the 20th century.

Second only to the subtype of influenza that first broke out in Hong Kong in July 1968.

Within a few days, the epidemic spread westward from the Soviet Far East to Leningrad and Moscow. By early December, moderate-intensity outbreaks occurred in fifty major cities throughout the Soviet Union.

In November of the same year, it began to become popular in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and other regions, and in December it swept across the Eurasian continent.

Starting from January 1978, epidemics broke out in Britain, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Romania, Belgium, Yugoslavia and the Netherlands.

It was not until the end of April that influenza cases in various countries began to decline and improve.

The main targets of this influenza virus are young people under the age of 25 and primary and secondary school students.

However, highly contagious viruses often have a low mortality rate.

This is at the extreme end of the spectrum from the 1968 subtype of influenza, which caused almost no deaths.

The most that ordinary people will feel is headache, fever, sore throat, and cough, and then they will be fine in four days.

Only a small number of people will have complications such as pneumonia and sinusitis.

In addition, because transportation in the mainland is not well developed, although the influenza virus spreads rapidly abroad, it does not have much impact in the mainland.

The main spread was only in a few major cities close to the Soviet Far East.

However, this flu is very worthy of research, especially for traditional Chinese medicine in the north, which has accumulated a lot of experience from this incident, and many prescriptions have proved their value decades later.

……

Fangyan said to his mother-in-law:
"Didn't the news say that it's different from the one in 1968? There's no need to panic. It also said that the virus only infects people born after 1950, so the same virus must have appeared before, and your bodies are already immune to it."
The mother-in-law still said with some concern:

"If this is what we can infer based on what's in the news, we still don't know what the actual situation is."

After that, she shook her head and said:
"Well, there's no point in just worrying. If nothing unexpected happens, we should receive a notification this afternoon."

"We should be able to know the full circumstances of this matter by then."

The rest of the family nodded.

Except for the two little guys, Little Brother and Justice Pearl, everyone else at the table today is from the medical system.

Fangyan is a Chinese medicine practitioner, He Huiru and Zhu Lin are gynecologists, and Fu Zhaojun is a clinical expert in infectious disease prevention and control.

When it comes to the matter in the news, the most authoritative person is still herself.

Although Fangyan knows the direction of history, on the surface, he is still an outsider in this area.

So when the mother-in-law heard the dialect statement, she just thought it was him comforting herself.

Fangyan also knows that no one will believe him if he says anything else now.

……

After dinner, everyone went to work and school, leaving Fangyan and his younger brother alone at home reviewing.

Without the disturbance from Director Chen, the poor student, my little brother quickly got into the learning state today.

If you open the window in the study in the main courtyard, you can even hear my younger brother reciting in the front yard.

Fangyan was in his study, recalling the prescriptions for dealing with influenza from his previous life.

In a short while, I wrote several.

Except for some prescriptions that are still used from Zhang Zhongjing's classics, the rest are prescriptions that have been verified to be effective by later generations.

Among them is a prescription that Mr. Zhu gave over the phone in Nantong in March 2003 to provide instructions for rescue operations.

At that time, a 77-year-old man at GD Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine became seriously ill after a major operation and was sent to the ICU for emergency treatment. The patient had a high fever, was in a coma, his hands and mouth were open, and his limbs were cold. The attending physician used Angong Niuhuang Pills but to no avail, so he called Mr. Zhu in Nantong for help.

After listening to the clinical report, Dr. Zhu immediately diagnosed it as Yin Jue and prescribed a prescription. Later, the treatment worked immediately.

A prescription was then prescribed to guide follow-up treatment, and on March 20th, the old man recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

At that time, this prescription for treating the elderly's infection was published on the fifth edition of the "China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine" on May 2003, 5. Later, when Fangyan was in school, he saw someone collect these prescriptions and post them on the forum.

He had memorized the dialect at the time, and now that his memory had improved, some memories of his past life had also become clearer, allowing him to dig them out from deep within his mind.

Fangyan spent the entire afternoon writing these prescriptions in the study.

Before I knew it, it was time to get off work.

"Brother! Do you want to go pick up Zhengyi and Mingzhu from school together?" The younger brother's voice came in from outside the window.

Fang Yan finally came to his senses, looked at his watch, and found that it was already time.

As he screwed up the pen, he responded to the little brother outside:

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon." After stretching his muscles, Fangyan walked towards the door.

It’s been so long, and I haven’t picked up the two children from school yet.

Either they are too busy, or they ask their mother and wife to do it for them.

Now that my nephew Zhao Zhengyi has become my third apprentice, today, as his master, I should take the initiative to pick him up.

The Concordia kindergarten was not far from here, so there was no need to ride a bike. The two brothers just went out and walked towards the kindergarten.

After a while, they arrived at the kindergarten gate.

At this time, there were already many parents waiting at the school gate. When Fangyan and his friends arrived, the school was not open yet and the children in the kindergarten were still queuing.

As soon as the school gate opens, the children will be picked up by their parents one by one.

At this moment, some children who saw their parents were already shouting loudly outside.

Those who come here to pick up their children are usually grandparents.

Of course there are young people too, but most of them are not parents, but unemployed uncles, aunts and the like who are studying at home.

Since the door wasn't open yet, Fangyan started chatting with his little brother about novels.

"Birch Forest" is now temporarily suspended.

The little brother's enthusiasm has obviously cooled down. At this moment, the hottest topic outside is the college entrance examination and physical examinations related to the college entrance examination.

It seems like everyone has forgotten about the novel.

In fact, it has been proved that the suggestions Fangyan gave to his younger brother were very accurate. Even though the recent "People's Literature" has reduced its production, it is still not selling well, which shows that the sales volume has obviously declined.

This was the first time that I saw what traffic was.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

"Hey, you are... Haichao?!" A girl with a high ponytail looked at Fang Chen in surprise and asked him.

The young man was also surprised. He really didn't expect that when he was very popular, the streets would be full of people dressed like him. When he told others that he was Haichao, no one believed him.

On the contrary, even now that the popularity has subsided, people are still recognized.

"How did you recognize me?" Fang Chen asked the girl in surprise.

At this time, the girl frowned again, then shook her head and said:

"No... that's not right. You... you are not Haichao. Haichao is not as fat as you."

Having said that the girl turned around and left.

Fang Chen: “…”

At this time, the little brother suffered a mental blow.

His face turned red and white.

Fangyan was really feeling very miserable, so he stepped forward, patted the younger brother on the shoulder, and said to him:
"You shouldn't have admitted it so quickly just now. Maybe she would have hesitated for a while."

The younger brother touched the fat on his stomach and said angrily:
"It's all Chen Kaige's fault. He drags me out for midnight snacks and beer every day!"

“Now I’ve become fat.”

Fangyan signaled him to relax and gave him an idea:

"It's okay, I'll do another interview with the writer and take some photos later."

The little brother was hit hard again.

In fact, he is not fat, he just used to be very thin, so now that he has gained a little weight, people say he is fat.

Fang Chen complained to Fang Yan:

"Brother, there is no one like you."

After that, he made a decision for himself:
"I have to eat less at every meal now!"

Fang Yan smiled and nodded. He believed that the younger brother still had perseverance. As long as Chen Kaige didn't come to force him to have midnight snacks, he could easily lose weight by following the habit of eating until he was 60% to 70% full every day. After all, the younger brother had been working for so many years, and his daily basal metabolism was still very high.

It won't be long before all the fat on his body is burned away, returning to his original appearance.

At this time, with the sound of a whistle, the big iron gate of the kindergarten was finally opened.

Parents swarmed in, came to their children's classes, and took their children away from the teachers.

Fangyan had never been here before, so he didn’t know the class teacher, so he could only carefully look for the two children in the crowd.

But he had good eyesight and soon saw the two siblings holding hands.

"Over there." Fang Yan pointed at the team of Zhengyi and Mingzhu to his younger brother who was trying to observe.

"Where is it?" The little brother squinted his eyes, but still couldn't see it.

Fangyan patted him on the shoulder and walked straight up to him.

Soon, Zhao Zhengyi and Zhao Mingzhu also saw Fangyan and immediately ran to the teacher at the front of the line.

"Teacher Tang, my master is here to pick us up!" Zhao Zhengyi pointed at Fangyan with a serious face and said to the young teacher.

Hearing this, the teacher turned his head and looked at Fangyan, then said:
"Only parents can come to pick them up, not the master."
