Bulgarian Empire

The earliest record of Spanish flu appeared in the Finsen Barracks in Kansas, USA. Before lunch on March 11, 1918, a soldier in the barracks felt fever, sore throat and headache, so he went to the army hospital. The doctor thought he had common cold.

However, what happened next was unexpected: by noon, more than 100 soldiers had developed similar symptoms. A few days later, over the weekend, there were already more than 500 "cold" patients in this barracks.

It soon spread to three cities including Detroit, and quickly began to spread. In April, some patients carried the virus into Europe, and then spread rapidly.

Influenza entered Bulgaria in June, and Ferdinand declared martial law across the country and began a national epidemic prevention.

In order to do a good job in epidemic prevention, the Ministry of Health has mandated health regulations, as follows:

1. Anyone must take a hot bath at least twice a week, and boil the water first, and wait for the water to cool down before using it. It is forbidden to use cold water for bathing;

2. Therefore, drinking water must be boiled, and drinking unboiled water is prohibited;

3. You must wash your hands with disinfectant before meals, and factories and enterprises must install faucets;

4. Public places must be disinfected every day, and insecticides must be carried out in all residential areas, mainly mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, etc.;

5. Pets are isolated, close contact with animals is prohibited, feeding must be kept at a distance, and the government organizes manual hunting of stray animals into the city;

6. The government distributes masks for free, and everyone must wear them in public places;

7. All schools are closed. Before the epidemic is over, no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization, and all additional expenses will be borne by the government;

8. Factories and enterprises must organize comprehensive disinfection once a month and establish disease isolation rooms;

9. Some entertainment venues are temporarily closed, and it is recommended that you go out less if you have nothing to do;

...

This is the first time for the Bulgarian Ministry of Health to carry out comprehensive epidemic prevention. No one has any experience. In order to control the epidemic, it is natural to be so strict.

Bulgaria seems to have returned to the World War once again. Everything has become serious, and even more serious. Even the colorful entertainment life has been cut across the board.

Not only is the country under martial law, but even the royal palace is no exception. The virus does not recognize people. Ferdinand knew how terrible the Spanish flu was. How could he not take it seriously?

It is even stricter. Everyone in the palace has to be checked by a doctor every day. Once any symptoms occur, they can be declared to be on vacation. At least until the epidemic is over, they are not required to go to work.

Constantine Fei stepped into the palace very unaccustomed, and was greeted with a pungent smell of disinfectant. He frowned and accepted the examination by the doctors before being put into the palace.

That's right, he felt that the Bulgarian government was making too much of a fuss. Although the flu had already broken out, mass deaths had not yet occurred. Like most people, Konstantin also believed that this was just a common viral cold.

Of course, the common cold of this era is also fatal, but most of the young and strong can resist it, and the death rate of the old and weak is higher.

Originally, Constantine wanted to persuade Ferdinand to lift the nationwide martial law. The current epidemic prevention work has seriously hindered the normal operation of Bulgaria's economy. Many projects were forced to terminate, factories were also ordered to prohibit overtime work, and shopping malls were even more depressed.

But after seeing the posture in the palace, he realized that the king's attention to this epidemic was beyond his imagination. No matter how strict the defense was outside, no one would restrict his travel as the prime minister!

But when he got here, he was checked by a doctor first before entering the palace, and then he was forced to change his clothes. The attendant's explanation was that the clothes might carry viruses. For the safety of the king, the prime minister was asked to change into safer clothes !

Constantine was a little speechless, well, the king is the king, and this kind of pride is unmatched by others. Everyone must change into sterilized clothes when entering the palace.

It's not just them, including the guards who come in and out every day, and the personnel responsible for delivering supplies, each of them is given a set every day.

Constantine doesn't think that these clothes will be taken back or reused many times. The king's face must never be lost. The daily expenses of tens of thousands of levs alone are indispensable!

Looking at the fall of a tree, he saw the posture of the palace waiting in full force, and he knew that the matter was serious. The epidemic has not appeared in Sofia yet?

...

With a depressed mood, Constantine saw Ferdinand who was drinking tea. Both of them were wearing masks, and the picture was so comical.

...

Constantine asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, you are making too much of a fuss, right? This is not the Middle Ages when the Black Death spread. Is there such a need for such a big fanfare?

Although the flu has spread widely, it is not very harmful to the human body. Now all of Europe is talking about our epidemic prevention work, this..."

Ferdinand interrupted: "Have we become a laughing stock again?"

Constantine nodded. Although the Bulgarian government has not been ridiculed by the outside world once or twice, what is different from before is that most of the previous actions of the Bulgarian government have been proven to be correct!

As for the current situation, at least Constantine himself has not discovered the reason for doing so!

Ferdinand smiled slightly and said, "Let them laugh first, and wait for them to cry in the future!

If action is not taken in time, I am afraid that the death toll caused by this pandemic may not be less than that caused by the Black Death in the Middle Ages! "

Constantine's face changed drastically. As a pure European, he had heard many legends about the famous "Black Death". It alone caused the death of one third of the Europeans at that time. Going back a hundred years is enough to scare anyone!

"Your Majesty, is this too exaggerated? If it was the Black Death, a large number of patients should have died by now? However, there are many places where influenza broke out in the world, and the phenomenon of mass death of patients has not occurred? "Konstantin asked suspiciously.

Ferdinand sighed, and then explained: "Some biological experts told me that this flu virus is mutating. In Darwin's terms, the virus is evolving. At present, it is only highly transmissible. The lethal viruses have combined, and in the end it is very likely to evolve into one more—the Black Death!"

Constantine can't wait to slap himself now, what example is not good to use, if he wants to talk about the Black Death, this time it really came!

Although this is only a possibility, we must pay attention to it, otherwise when the possibility becomes a reality, everyone is ready to cry!

Seeing Constantine's expression, Ferdinand knew that he was frightened. It is estimated that any normal European would be frightened when he heard that "the Black Death is coming again!"

Ferdinand comforted: "Don't be so nervous, this is only a possibility, and it is the worst guess!

With our current medical level, the Black Death is not completely hopeless, and most patients can be cured. If you are worried, you can also check the information. The Black Death also happened in the East, and it was contained by them. The destructive power is much smaller than we imagined!

This flu, at most, is just a smallpox, and it has not yet reached the level of destroying human civilization! "

Well, forgive Ferdinand for his ignorance. Although smallpox did not cause as many casualties as the Black Death, its influence in European history was not small at all, and it directly caused the end of the Eastern Roman Empire!

Therefore, he thought he gave an example with fewer deaths, but the impact on Constantine was still huge!

Whether it is smallpox or the Black Death, they can easily destroy the existence of an empire, but this "big flu" is far from reaching this level in essence. After all, the death rate of 5% and the death rate of nearly 100% Rates are two completely different concepts!

After a while, Constantine recovered from the shock, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I understand, even if there is only one ten-thousandth possibility of this situation, we can't take risks. Please rest assured that the cabinet will supervise The government has done a good job in epidemic prevention!"

For Konstantin, who has already achieved great success and fame, any adventure may become a fatal stain in his life. For leading the Bulgarian government to this point, his historical status is no lower than that of Bismarck!

He was even more successful, because Germany was completely disabled, and Bulgaria was still growing. Not surprisingly, when he was disarmed and returned to the field, Bulgaria was already the number one industrial power in Europe.

Even the number one power in Europe is very possible. This is convenient for Bulgaria and Prussia to have similarities. Both sides are warlike countries, and the combat effectiveness of the army is the strongest wave!

Other factors cannot destroy this country, but the "virus" is an exception. History has told him how fragile human beings are in the face of diseases.

So now the epidemic prevention work must be done well, and he even feels that the current epidemic prevention work is not strict enough and needs to be strengthened!

If the worst doesn't happen, that's the best. The big deal is that some human, material and financial resources are wasted, all of which are within the tolerance of the Bulgarian government.

At most, the outside world will criticize the epidemic prevention as too much. Anyway, for such a highly contagious disease, the government should strengthen the epidemic prevention work for the sake of the safety of the general public, and it is also politically correct!

If it happens, Bulgaria, which has been prepared for a long time, can also minimize the loss, and even take this opportunity to surpass other powers!

...

After returning to the cabinet, Constantine convened a cabinet meeting in the name of the prime minister, seriously emphasized the epidemic prevention work, and issued a funny order in a very humorous way-declare war on rats!

Content: Mice are the dirtiest creatures in the world and the greatest enemy of human beings. They are not qualified to live under the same sky as us!

Now, on behalf of the Bulgarian government, I officially declare war on the rats. All Bulgarian citizens, please take up your weapons, kill our enemies, and make this world a better place!

Well, the aftermath of the Black Death, who made it the rats that spread the Black Death? In order to prevent the passing of time, Constantine decided to kill the rats first, anyway, it is impossible for anyone to complain about the rats in this day and age!

This can be regarded as a flavoring agent in the tense life of Bulgaria in 1918, and then a variety of methods of rodent control were staged in Bulgaria, such as medicine, pressing, blocking, closing, clamping, turning, filling, digging, sticking and shooting. The means were first unveiled!

It can be said that everyone shouted and beat the rats crossing the street. The rats disappeared from the sight of the Bulgarian people in the shortest possible time. Of course, this was only for a short period of time.

In an era full of rat poison and rodent exterminators, the rats are really struggling, and the rats have to make a strategic shift, leaving the city and turning to the mountains where the enemy's strength is weak to persist in resistance!

In September, Bulgaria, which has been under martial law for more than three months, finally received an official and accurate answer after the people waited eagerly.

The Ministry of Health of Bulgaria made public the epidemic for the first time - "A Letter to the People of Bulgaria", and issued a disease warning to countries all over the world:

It is a pity that another large-scale communicable disease broke out again in human history. Now the Ministry of Health reminds everyone to do a good job in epidemic prevention. Although our medicine is very advanced, we are still very vulnerable to the disease.

After the research of our biologists and medical scientists, we found that this pandemic is not a common viral cold in the past, and behind the flu there are hidden viruses that are more destructive to the human body!

At present, this virus is still in the incubation period. Since the outbreak has not yet occurred, we cannot clearly say what kind of impact it will cause after the outbreak. In short, the result must be catastrophic!

And biologists have also discovered that the virus is still recombining during transmission, and each recombination is an increase in toxicity and infectivity, which also means that this virus is not unique, and we have no way to study it in the short term Come out with special medicine.

The symptoms of patients after infection are mainly high fever, cough, runny nose, myalgia, etc. Most of them are accompanied by severe pneumonia. In severe cases, the heart, kidney and other organs fail and lead to death, with a high case fatality rate.

Now we are here to call on medical scientific research institutions all over the world to join in this research together so that we can develop a drug that can cure this virus as soon as possible and contribute to the survival of human beings!

At the same time, here we also warn the governments of all countries, please be prepared for epidemic prevention, so as to avoid catastrophic consequences after the outbreak of the virus!

...

Scientists in Bulgaria are not easy to eat. Under Ferdinand's strong request, they have achieved considerable results in the past few months, but there is no special medicine!

Everyone's virus is almost not exactly the same. Developing a special drug under this background is completely a dream, so Ferdinand simply chose to disclose this news.

As for whether European and American countries can develop vaccines or drugs to cure the virus, scientists have clearly told him that it does not exist at the current level of technology!

If they only develop a cure-specific drug for a certain patient, they can do it now, but a drug suitable for curing most people is still a difficult problem that cannot be overcome!

Ferdinand is neither a saint nor a butcher. After the epidemic was disclosed, he is no longer participating!

This kind of thing is as good as the destiny, if someone believes it, believe it, if you don't believe it, let it go, anyway, the climax of death is coming soon, and now the best time to defend is actually missed!
