Chapter 2275 Putrid Fever Disease
"Ah? Then don't I become a criminal who abducts underage girls?" Joan scratched his head, "I can't think of any other prospect except being arrested and imprisoned."
"Fool! If you don't get caught, you won't go to jail!" Rebecca stomped her feet coquettishly, "Can't you think about the good? For example, private life, children and so on..."
This Joan really can't imagine!
Secretly wiped off the cold sweat, and quickly changed to a less sensitive topic.
"I heard from Principal Jefferson that you became a doctor after graduation. One of the few avenues to power."
Rebecca shook her head lightly, her tone low.
"The more advanced the society, the weaker the power of religion. It's not that we priests are not working hard enough. Our magic is still very powerful, but that's not enough. Joan, times have changed, and the protagonists on the political stage will no longer be It is the king, the nobles and the clergy, but it will be the more popular parties."
"I'm aware of the signs of this change, but I can't predict where the tide of the times will take us, whether the result will be good or bad. This uncertainty makes me feel very powerless."
"If I were a man, I would give it a go. I might be lucky enough to become a trend-setter in the new era, but I'm just an ordinary woman. Against the background of the decline of religious power, I have no chance of becoming the protagonist of the era of party politics. Give up as soon as possible." It’s good to think about it.”
Joan has always felt that Rebecca has an unusually keen intuition, and can easily see through complex people's hearts and even social problems. This may be related to her extremely developed perception attributes, just like the "prophets" in myths and legends.
This ability is well suited for seditious work such as preaching or politics.
However, as Rebecca said, as human society enters the era of magic industry, the power of the church is irreparably declining, and in the political arena, unless someone is born as a queen, it is unlikely to be recognized by the public. Opinion leaders, after all, the traditional concept of "men are superior to women" is still deeply rooted.
From this perspective, Rebecca was born in the wrong era.
If Rebecca had been born 200 years earlier, in that crazy age, she would naturally have a lot to do.
In those days, many denominations competed fiercely, and they changed their ways to attract believers. If any denomination did not have a "Holy Mother" or "Holy Maiden", they would be embarrassed to say hello to their peers when they went out, and how to win over female believers-often the most devout in the church Believers—hearts.
If Rebecca was born two hundred years later, human society might have developed to the stage of equal rights for men and women. The public would no longer discriminate against the gender of politicians. With her family background and wealth, she would also have the opportunity to show her talents on the stage of public affairs.
It's a pity that she was born in this age of ups and downs, and she couldn't go any way. She had talents but couldn't find a place to use them. No wonder she was discouraged and decided to practice medicine. At least she could save someone.
"By the way, Joan, just now you said that you bought a house in the city? If I remember correctly, that block is one of the main epidemic areas where the 'rotting fever' broke out in Leiden City this year. Not long ago, I visited the doctor But, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to live there." Rebecca showed worry.
"The house I bought, the original owner had to sell the house at a low price because his family members and servants were infected with putrid fever one after another. After I moved in, the house was fully disinfected, and safety is not a problem."
"It's not as simple as you think." Rebecca shook her head lightly, her expression solemn, "Joan, do you dare to bet with me that within a week at the latest, the house that you have thoroughly disinfected and removed germs will be in the bathroom?" Or a backlit dark corner like the kitchen will definitely breed putrid fever bacteria again!"
"Since the fall of this year, the number of patients with rot fever in the city has increased rapidly. Some patients who have been cured by me have contracted rot fever again after a short interval. In the patients' homes, the rot fever bacteria that I have used to remove them have quietly disappeared. Re-breeding, this situation occurs repeatedly, you still have to be more careful."
"How could this be?" Qiao An was surprised. "Fever fever usually occurs in summer, but now it breaks out at the end of autumn, and there is no sign of improvement in winter. This is too abnormal. Could it be that there is a 'super contagion' in the city? source'?"
Putrid fever can spread among the crowd, but the infectivity is not as strong as "smallpox" or "plague". Infected with putrid fever.
Boil the water before drinking it, and eat it after the overnight meal is fully heated-as long as you do these two points, you can effectively prevent antipyretic fever.
In addition, putrid fever bacteria like heat and are afraid of cold. When the temperature is lower than freezing point, the vitality of this kind of bacteria will be greatly reduced, and they will be frozen to death after surviving outside for a long time.
Because of this, putrid fever generally does not break out in winter, unless a "super infectious source" appears in the community.
The so-called "super source of infection" has two main characteristics.
First of all, this kind of organism carries rot fever bacteria all year round, but it will not get sick because of it. For example, bats are the intermediate host of "rabies", but bats themselves will not be infected with "rabies".
In addition, "super infectious agents" must live in densely populated communities, otherwise they will have no chance to transmit germs to humans.
Excluding magic and supernatural factors, there are three main types of "super infection sources" recognized by sputum fever: scavengers, dire rats, and ratmen.
"Scavengers" and "dire rats" mostly inhabit dark and filthy places in cities, such as sewers, sewers, garbage dumps and slums where sewage flows across.
When "scavenging beasts" or large groups of "dire rats" appear in a certain community, it is difficult for the water source to be polluted, and the outbreak of putrid fever is a high probability event.
In addition, scavengers and dire rats are very aggressive. If humans and animals are bitten by them, they will also be infected with putrid fever through the wound, and the symptoms are more serious than those infected through food, and the fatality rate is higher.
As far as Layton City is concerned, there must be a large number of scavengers and dire rats living in the dark corners of the slums. Every summer there will be an outbreak of putrid fever, and it is normal for a large group of poor vagrants to die.
However, the house that Joan bought was located near Leiden College, which was a standard "golden location", a high-end wealthy area.
In a metropolis like Leiden City, the poor and the rich live in two separate worlds. The rich will not set foot in the dirty slums, and the poor and the homeless dare not break into the rich community. A policeman with a big stick on his head is not just for nothing!
