Chapter 3 War Epidemic Vlog
Day 1
"Friday, January 24, the first day of coming to the epidemic area. It was raining lightly outside, the temperature was up to 7°C, and it was a bit damp and cold in the hotel. It's Chinese New Year's Eve today, and the streets outside are deserted, pedestrians are wearing all kinds of masks, and their steps are hurrying, and the occasional ambulance is whizzing by......"
Excerpt from: "War Epidemic Diary" Author: Guo An'an
At half past six in the morning, Guo An'an's alarm clock rang on time. After dressing and washing, the "Second Batch of Heroes Aiding Han" group sent the day's arrangements.
"Good morning team members, the weather today is light to moderate rain, the temperature is 5~7 °C, please pay attention to add clothes. Today's schedule is to learn the process of putting on and taking off isolation gowns in the hotel, and master the steps and precautions for entering and exiting the isolation area and buffer zone, and the medical care team will arrange the follow-up work. Please take precautions. All meals will be delivered to the door of the room......"
After a while, the delivered lunch box was delivered to the small table at the door, perhaps because of the first day, the food was very rich, two meat and two vegetarian porridge, and a box of rice. But Guo Anan still couldn't arouse his interest, so he just ate two bites and sent it away.
Thinking of the upcoming admission interview, Guo Anan opened the video tutorial and took out the N95 masks, hats, goggles, protective clothing, shoe covers, etc. one by one, and suddenly felt that his head was big, no wonder it took half an hour for medical staff to put on and take off at a time, and it was too much energy to be tightly armed from head to toe.
Putting the protective items aside, Guo Anan picked up his mobile phone and began to browse the latest news of the day. The number of confirmed cases is 244 more than yesterday, while the number of suspected cases has increased by almost 500 and the death toll has exceeded 40. The daily increase is shocking, and Guo An'an compared the numbers of the previous days, and he has long understood in his heart that the actual number of infected people is far more than what he sees in front of him.
What's more, the Spring Festival transportation that began some time ago, there have been countless students and migrant workers traveling by various means of transportation, if this virus can really continue to spread from person to person, then under the huge base, the number of infected patients will definitely increase exponentially.
Guo Anan felt chills in her heart, she suddenly remembered her mother who said some time ago that she was going to Hainan for the New Year, and I don't know if she would think of wearing a mask in such a serious situation. Since she divorced Guo An'an's unreliable father, the whole person began to let go of herself, traveled around, and lived a happy and happy life.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as Guo Anan thought of his mother, his mother's video call came over in time.
"Old girl, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss Mommy?"
"Mom, where are you going to be happy again?" Guo Anan saw the blue sea and blue sky behind his mother at a glance.
Mao Li stroked her curly hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and seemed to be very satisfied with her style, "An An, I'm in Japan now, you hurry up and tell your mother what you need, and your mother will bring it back for you!"
"I don't need anything, Mom, I would have sent you a message to wear a mask, why are you disobedient!"
"There is no virus in Japan, so you can put 120 hearts. By the way, I heard that there is a shortage of masks in China, so I bought some for you from Japan, don't you know, the masks on the shelves here are almost gone!" Mao Li saw that her daughter was already on the verge of anger, and immediately turned her head and waved at the person next to her, shouting loudly, "Come on, come on! An An, you send me your address, and my mother will send it to you!"
immediately pretended to be very urgent and said goodbye to Guo An'an, and immediately hung up the phone.
Guo Anan reluctantly dropped the phone, as for her unreliable father, he would definitely not listen to him, just let her parents have their own lives, let them be. Originally, Guo Anan knew that her parents would have a psychological shadow after the divorce, but as a result, the two of them were very happy in their respective circle of friends, but when she saw her parents living happily, she was relieved.
"Interviewing medical workers who aid Han, recording the reporter's war epidemic diary, presenting ...... in the form of text, pictures, videos, etc." Guo Anan probably took a look at the interview content given by Linda, which is all some things on the side of the road, even if Linda doesn't give it, she herself will definitely not miss these.
Linda is also too perfunctory, which is obviously to fool children. Guo Anan threw his mobile phone aside speechlessly, it was really sad to encounter this kind of leader who forced his personal emotions into his work.
After lying lazily for a while, the mobile phone rang again, the number was the landline of the newspaper, and Guo Anan picked it up without thinking about it.
The voice on the other end of the line was familiar.
"An An, hello, are you still adapting to living in Huhan?"
Guo Anan went through everyone's voices in his head, but he still didn't match the other party. "Hello, I'm very good in Huhan, thank you for your concern. Who are you?"
"Haha, I'm Huang Qingquan. ”
Guo Anan was taken aback that Mr. Huang actually called her personally!
After a simple greeting, Huang Qingquan got straight to the point: "Xiao Guo, I hope you can write more about the lives of ordinary people in Huhan City, swoop down, go to places that the camera can't see, write more about those patients who have no way to go to the doctor, and volunteers who work together to fight the epidemic. Remember that a journalist's pen is a gun, and the power of sunlight we deliver can not only defeat darkness, but also defeat viruses. ”
Hanging up the phone, Guo Anan was a little excited. Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang personally assigned tasks to her, and the important thing is that with Mr. Huang's support, Guo Anan was also able to stretch his hands and feet and do the interviews he wanted to do.
As for whether Linda can give a manuscript or not, Guo Anan doesn't care, anyway, he has been killed so much, and he doesn't care about this star. Besides, even if he doesn't send it, he can send it out through various platforms. In the era of self-media, everyone can be a reporter.
However, Guo Anan is still very strict about the screening of information, and information that will cause panic and spread rumors is a taboo for dissemination.
Guo Anan opened Weibo, and the hot searches were overwhelmingly filled with new crown pneumonia-related content. Originally, Guo Anan didn't want to be exposed to these contents, because there was too much negative energy - there were people whose whole family was infected with pneumonia but could only isolate themselves at home to save themselves, and there were people whose families died after being infected but couldn't even see the last face......
After watching it for a few minutes, Guo Anan cried suppressedly.
She took out the antidepressant medication, stuffed it into her mouth, and when she unscrewed the mineral water, she couldn't care that the water was cold to the stomach, so she poured it down.
"In order to help those who have no channels to speak out, and let more people understand them under the epidemic, I must also protect myself. ”
The interview in the epidemic area is obviously different from the original interview, Guo Anan looked at his various equipment and was a little worried.
The DSLR camera needs to adjust the mode, aperture, etc., at any time, so it will inevitably be exposed, and even if you choose the point-and-shoot automatic mode, the lens part will still be exposed. Guo Anan thought for a long time, took out a roll of fresh-keeping bags from his luggage, only exposed the lens to the outside, and completely sealed the rest with the bag, while the shooting mode was directly selected to be fully automatic, and as for the flash, a part of the fresh-keeping bag was reserved, and the opening part was firmly tied with a rubber band. At the end of each interview, you only need to wipe the lens with disinfectant, and the quality of the photos should not be sloppy during the critical period, let alone the safety issues.
In an environment surrounded by viruses, paper will obviously retain some viruses, so it is impossible to make records on paper, Guo Anan is secretly glad that he carried a voice recorder with him, and as for the protective measures, it is naturally a fresh-keeping bag can be solved.
After solving the professional problem, Guo Anan was finally able to calm down and wear an isolation gown completely. The protective clothing is airtight, and there is no need to wear the coat, even so, after spending nearly 40 minutes and wearing three layers of protective equipment in accordance with the protection requirements, Guo Anan still sweated. She tried to walk around the room a few times in this airtight protective suit, walking a little faster, but she obviously felt breathless and dizzy, and stood against the wall for a while before relieving herself slightly.
Guo Anan remembered the way the doctors and nurses walked quickly in the video to save patients, and felt that it was not easy, and he was already uncomfortable after just walking for a while, let alone carrying oxygen cylinders to treat patients and save people.
Thinking of this, Guo Anan picked up his mobile phone and recorded his first "war epidemic" vlog. Guo Anan was wearing a protective suit, and his voice was buzzing through the mask.
In the video, Guo Anan introduced every protective equipment on her body, and after introducing these, Guo Anan was already a little short of breath, she slowed down a little, and said to the camera: "After arming the protective clothing, I can obviously feel that the oxygen is not enough, but in order to avoid exposure to the virus, I can't take off the mask or goggles in the contaminated area after wearing the protective clothing." As far as I know, due to the shortage of protective clothing, many medical staff will try to drink as little water as possible and avoid going to the toilet in order to save protective clothing, they are really too hard......"
Subsequently, Guo Anan took off the surgical gown and protective clothing from the outside to the inside in turn according to the requirements of the teaching video, and took off the mask, hat, and N95 mask, and the whole person's breathing became smooth instantly.
Guo Anan touched his sweat-soaked hair and clothes, and said with emotion: "It's hard to imagine what kind of experience our angels in white wear airtight protective clothing, don't eat, drink or go to the toilet, and work for six hours in a row. But I think that in addition to their physical fitness to break through the limit, perhaps their belief in treating diseases and saving people as medical workers is also supported!"
After recording this vlog, Guo Anan understood what Huang Qingquan said at the beginning, "Don't forget the original intention, remember the mission", in the past year, Guo Anan almost heard her ears out of the cocoon, but now that she has stepped on the battlefield, she understands that keeping the original intention and taking on the mission is not just as simple as shouting slogans and writing materials.
After sending the video to the editorial department, Guo Anan packed up the equipment for the next day's interview, fully charged the spare camera battery, and prepared portable alcohol-based hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Although the set of protective clothing I tried on was not exposed to the polluted environment, it was not safe to take it to the hospital after unpacking, so I simply kept it for the street interview, which was safe and not wasteful.
is about to start his first fully armed interview, Guo Anan finally feels like his feet are on the ground, but is this really as dangerous as people say?
