Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 381: The first day of November, the flu comes
Fangyan’s first reaction was that the couple caught a cold last night.

Then I thought it was not right.

Common cold symptoms are generally milder and usually include nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat, and runny nose.

It's impossible to have a fever right away.

Only when influenza has an acute onset will the symptoms be so severe.

Fangyan recalled that yesterday his elder sister went to the tailor shop, went to the vegetable market, and picked up the child.

These are crowded places, and this might be the infection of the Soviet Far East flu.

Upon hearing that his mother was sick, little Zhao Zhengyi wanted to go visit her immediately, but was stopped by his father Zhao Yuanchao.

My eldest brother-in-law also heard about the influenza pandemic in the Soviet Union in dialect.

Now I suspect that my wife has this disease.

As for why he was fine, the first possibility is that he was in good health and had a high resistance. The second reason is that he was born in 50 and may have had the same strain of influenza when he was a child and had antibodies in his body.

Fang Yan immediately followed her eldest sister's husband Zhao Yuanchao to the front yard. Her eldest sister was already dressed and was combing her hair, but her face looked a little red and she was obviously not in good condition.

"When did the symptoms start?" Fang Yan asked the eldest sister as soon as he entered the door.

The eldest sister Fang Jie responded:
"I felt a little sore in my throat when I went to bed last night. I thought it was because I ate chili peppers, so I didn't take it seriously."

"I felt thirsty and had chest tightness in the middle of the night."

"When I woke up this morning, I found that I had a fever, my throat was itchy, and I was coughing up yellow phlegm."

Fang Yan went up and touched the elder sister's forehead, and found that it was indeed a little hot, and then said to her:
"Open your mouth so I can see your tongue."

The eldest sister opened her mouth when she heard this, and Fangyan took a look and saw that her tongue was red and had a yellow coating.

"Give me your hand." Fangyan started to take the elder sister's pulse again.

Sliding and rapid pulse.

"Heat and toxins blocking the lungs." Fangyan judged.

After hearing this, the eldest sister hurriedly asked:

"Is it the Soviet flu? Will it infect my family?"

Fang Yan said to the elder sister:
"It's still impossible to tell if it's the flu. Don't worry. I'll start making medicine for everyone at home to prevent it."

To prevent influenza, we usually use some traditional Chinese medicines that can clear away heat and detoxify, strengthen the body and replenish qi, replenish qi and yang, and nourish yin and blood.

These medicines are prepared just like those for the flu.

I informed my family about my eldest sister's condition and asked if other family members had similar symptoms.

The resistance of other people in the family is generally good, and they have not yet shown the same symptoms as the eldest sister. After confirming the basic situation, Fangyan began to boil Chinese medicine.

After the Chinese medicine was prepared, Fangyan asked everyone to drink it first.

He also went to the neighborhood office and called his father and father-in-law to inform them.

In fact, there is no need to worry about my father and father-in-law, as they should have had antibodies long ago. The main people who need attention are my sister-in-law and the sixth child in the family.

Especially the sixth child Fang Xia, she is too young and her resistance is still weak, so she needs special attention.

Then Fang Yan called Meng Jimin at Dongzhimen Hospital and told him about the situation.

As a result, Meng Jimin said that they had received the patients last night, all of them were relatively young children.

The hospital has also reported the incident, but no feedback has been received yet.

Fangyan immediately understood that the authorities must have known it earlier than he did.

Of course this is logical.

At the street office, Fangyan also gave Director Feng a prescription, but asked her to use it herself first and not to share it with others to avoid causing panic.

It is best for the community to follow the above notice.

Since the higher-ups haven't sent out any notification after knowing the news, they must have their own plans.

Director Feng thanked Fang Yan repeatedly. Knowing that this man was very powerful and well-informed, he didn't waste any words and went straight to Union Hospital to pick up the medicine according to the prescription.

Although she was born before 1950, there are other young people in her family.

After returning home, I gave instructions and asked everyone to monitor their physical condition at all times.

Then, the dialect tells everyone to go to work.

As for the two little ones, Fangyan did not isolate them, but let them continue to go to school.

The main thing is that there is no way to prevent it. Now that they have been exposed to the virus, it all depends on their own resistance.

Besides, the kindergarten at Concord Medical College is relatively safe.

After all, it is a kindergarten of Union Medical College. If other parents see that their children have a cold, they will definitely not send their children to school.

Next, the eldest sister drank the medicine and Fangyan gave her acupuncture. Currently, the eldest sister is lying in bed resting.

The younger brother was still at home, watching the workers installing the radiator.

After finishing his housework, Fangyan rode his motorcycle to Tongrentang.

When I arrived today, Director Luo was also here.

He was accompanied by an acquaintance, the former store manager Wang Aiguo.

Le Miao resigned early and there is no suitable person to replace him, so they had to send Wang Aiguo back to be the temporary store manager.

At the end of the year, the store manager will select someone from the store.

This made Jia Dapeng very excited. Most people would have left by then, and by the end of the year, he would be the only one with seniority left here.

If we were to choose another store manager, he would be the most likely candidate.

Thinking of this, Jia Dapeng looked excited.

After Wang Aiguo came back, he chatted with everyone in the store.

Then he found that the business in the store was much better than when he was there. There was no time to chat. Patients kept lining up to come in one after another.

The most important thing is that most of these patients are not nearby neighbors, but come from far away places.

After asking, I found out that they all came for the dialect. After only not seeing it for a few months, Wang Aiguo was surprised to find that the dialect had become so famous.

Even the old Chinese doctors who work in big hospitals are no more than this, right?
You have to know that this is just a pharmacy, not one of those big Chinese medicine hospitals. The fact that there are so many people coming here in an endless stream is really an eye-opener for him.

When Fangyan was treating patients today, he found that some of them also showed flu symptoms, but the number was not too large.

However, Fangyan found that the symptoms were basically the same as those of the elder sister, including high fever, cough, yellow and sticky sputum, sore throat, chest tightness, shortness of breath and chest pain.

The same applies to tongue coating and pulse.

This means that this should be caused by the same influenza virus.

Fangyan prescribed six doses of the same medicine in just the morning.

When he got off work, Fangyan picked up a few more prescriptions from the store and took them home.

He gave the prescription to Wang Aiguo and said that if anyone in the store encountered a similar situation, they could directly take the medicine according to the prescription.

Wang Aiguo knew that Fangyan would not speak without purpose, so he agreed immediately.

At this time, the clever Xie Guolai and Jia Dapeng had already realized the problem and picked up a dose of medicine according to the prescription.

No matter whether he is sick or not, take it home and keep it in case of any problem at home.

They follow Fangyan every day and know what he is paying attention to recently.

The Soviet Far East influenza pandemic can be easily guessed based on the current situation.

When Fangyan returned home, he found that his elder brother-in-law had returned by bus at noon today.

He came back because he was worried about his elder sister.

My eldest sister's high fever has mostly subsided and turned into a low fever, but she still has a sore throat, a lot of phlegm, and some difficulty breathing. After a Fangyan examination, we found that her heartbeat was a little fast.

Fangyan gave the elder sister acupuncture again, which relieved her symptoms.

Then, I asked her to drink a bowl of Chinese medicine and stay in the room to avoid catching a cold.

For lunch, Fangyan asked her mother to prepare a light dish for her in the morning.

Bring it to her room and let her eat alone.

Only after the eldest sister came from so far away to eat did the other people in the family start eating.

Today, my mother and Zhu Lin were in the hospital and saw some patients with similar conditions.

Based on the sensitivity of their medical staff, they have basically been able to confirm that it is a pandemic influenza.

It’s just that I haven’t received any notification from the higher-ups yet.

In addition, Zhao Zhengyi, a child who went to kindergarten today, also said that some children in his class had asked for leave.

Just as Fangyan guessed, the parents of Union Medical College do have this quality.

Only at the municipal bureau where my eldest brother-in-law Zhao Yuanchao was working, there was nothing wrong at all, and no one had caught a cold or had a fever.

Even no one at home had any problems.

According to dialect inference, on the one hand, it is because most of them are older, and on the other hand, it is because all of them are in good physical condition.

Fangyan noticed a piece of news reported on the TV news at noon.

It was reported above that patients with influenza have been found in major northern cities close to the Soviet Far East.

The news reminded people to open windows more often for ventilation, gather less, and seek medical attention promptly if they have any symptoms.

This article is specifically aimed at young people born after 1950.

However, the report is very short and is unlikely to attract the attention of the general public.

After dinner, Fang Yan asked about the current health conditions of other family members.
Everything is fine though, and no one has shown any flu symptoms for the time being.

So in the afternoon, those who should go to work go to work, and those who should go to school go to school.

There's no point getting nervous about this. Fangyan has done everything he should do. All we can do now is deal with it as it comes.

In the afternoon, Chen Kaige and Sun Jialin arrived as scheduled, and this time Chen Kaige even drove a jeep over.

There were a lot of gifts inside.

Fangyan looked at their arrogant appearance and knew that these two people were definitely not in any trouble.

It seems that the people around me have pretty strong immune systems.

But it makes sense. The dietary nutritional conditions of these people are much better than those of ordinary people, so it makes sense that their immunity is stronger.

Then they asked where their eldest sister Fang Jie was. They came to give gifts and discuss marriage.

Fangyan told them that his elder sister had the flu and it was better not to see her.

When Chen Kaige and Sun Jialin heard Fang Yan talking about the flu, they didn't care at all.

I thought it was just a cold and the symptoms were just a little more severe.

Eat when you should, drink when you should, and don't forget anything.

They even asked Fangyan to take them to see their eldest sister.

Fangyan thought: Sure enough, they are not from the medical system, so their ideas are different! This couple is too fierce.

But when they found out that little Zhao Mingzhu was still in kindergarten.

His attitude changed immediately.

Sun Jialin turned around and said, "How can we let children stay in crowded places with this flu? We should bring them back home!"

Children are children, and adults are adults! That's different.

Chen Kaige even dragged Fangyan to the Union Kindergarten and asked him to pick up the child as soon as possible.

Fangyan now realized that the couple were really worried that the little girl would be infected with the flu.

PS: The 6000-word basic chapter has been updated.

To report, the total number of monthly votes last month finally settled at 3982, which did not reach 4000. However, Lao Feng knows that everyone has tried their best, so he decided not to count it for us, but we will still count it as 4000.

So, I owe you another 8000 words, so now I owe you a total of 26000 words.

Come on in the new month!
