Some people say that this epidemic is very similar to the ancient plague, so how was the ancient plague solved?

When the new year comes in 2020, it should be a holiday period to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but a great event has happened in our country. Novel coronavirus broke out in Wuhan for the first time. The disease is highly contagious and has a long latent time, so it is difficult to cure. Therefore, the number of patients once increased, and the national fight against the virus epidemic was put on the agenda.

This epidemic is very similar to the ancient plague, and both have the characteristics of strong infectivity and wide spread. Nowadays, people are asked to stay at home and wear masks as little as possible to fight the epidemic. Then, when the ancient plague broke out, how did the ancient people fight against it?

According to the research of historians, there were more than 300 plagues in ancient China. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an epidemic. How did the ancients spend it?

In ancient times, if a plague broke out, it was similar to the method used now.

The first point is isolation. Ancient doctors also realized that the plague was highly contagious, so they separated healthy people from sick people, thus putting an end to the possibility of healthy people getting sick. This is a very correct practice of the ancients, and they are also very wise.

The second point is medication. There were many famous doctors in ancient China. When the plague broke out at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases became the originator of Chinese medicine. From this medical book, we can find many ways to treat infectious diseases. In ancient times, doctors would ask some patients to try medicine. As a prescription to fight the plague, the prescription with better curative effect will be transmitted from the state to the local government, and then the local officials will organize the treatment of the patients. This is also an effective method.

The third point is immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is to inject the blood of patients into healthy people and observe the reaction of healthy people. This experiment was done in ancient times and has certain effect. Some healthy people produced antibodies and survived the plague, while others were in poor health and did not survive.

The ancients in China were very clever. Under the impact of plagues again and again, the ancients successfully defeated them. I believe that in the modern era with advanced medicine, as long as Qi Xin, the people of the whole country, works together to fight the plague, we will finally win a decisive victory.
