If the new crown broke out in ancient times, what would happen to the ancients? Expert: The ancients could eliminate the virus in one year

The epidemic has been repeated for such a long time, and I almost forgot the way you and I laughed without wearing a mask. Today, people can't help but realize that time is short and life is fragile. If you think about it, today, when technology and medical care are so developed, the epidemic is still breaking out in various countries.

In fact, the epidemic in China has been contained to a large extent, but because some foreign countries pursue the so-called "freedom", we on this earth have to be affected.

The types of viruses are constantly changing over time.

During the epidemic, many cities have pressed the pause button. Because of this, we have more time to think about what kind of situation the ancient people would have faced in the ancient times 1,000 years ago? Under the background of underdeveloped technology and medical care, can they tide over this difficulty?

Undoubtedly, we almost all think that with the development of science and technology, education, medical care, and transportation today, of course, we will handle it better than the ancients and get out of the epidemic faster. But is the result really what we expected?

Not really. Experts said: If the new crown epidemic occurred in ancient times, it may even be solved by the ancients within a year.

In fact, the level of ancient medicine is not as vulnerable as we think. For this infectious virus, the first and most important thing is to strangle the virus in its cradle and start from epidemic prevention.

In fact, we all know that there were plagues in ancient times, such as the Black Death, smallpox, and plague. If these viruses are compared with the new crown virus, they are even worse. In terms of infection speed and contact source, the new crown virus is much better controlled than these.

Therefore, we can't help but come to a conclusion: the difficulty of containing the new coronavirus lies in its cunning infectivity and invisibility that is not easy to detect. The convenience of transportation has greatly saved us the time cost of travel, but it is also because of this that the epidemic has spread rapidly. After all, we can't close the city walls tightly like in ancient times. The super-mutability of viruses also brings us new challenges.

The transportation in ancient times was not as convenient as it is now, so the contact will also greatly reduce the infection at the source of the virus and the spread of the epidemic. Even if the virus infected body is found, it can still guard the city wall, effectively cut off the contact between the infection source and the outside world and avoid the invasion of the external pathogenic body. The most important thing is that there are records that as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the ancients had built a central isolation hospital. We all know that in ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine such as Langzhong and doctors were the mainstays, and they would also use city managers to treat infected people. Gather together for unified treatment.

Even after the complete cure is successful, the doctors will use plant ash, lime, and realgar mixed with alcohol to make disinfectant, and then carry out all-round anti-virus at the root.

Another most direct method is to use fire. High temperature disinfection is the most direct, simple and effective disinfection method. The pathogenic body can be effectively contained, which can effectively reduce the probability of the spread of the epidemic.

Therefore, it is not difficult for us to see that a virus like the new coronavirus is highly contagious but not very virulent. It was far inferior to other viruses in ancient times. Of course, the most disturbing thing is the nasty virus smallpox.

It is no wonder that experts say that the new crown virus will be solved faster if it happened in ancient times. As long as the city walls are locked and the connection with the outside world is cut off, the epidemic can be effectively contained.
