Chapter VI Pioneer Volunteer Convoy

Day 3

"Sunday, January 26, the third day of coming to the epidemic area. On a cloudy day, I experienced the clammy and cold feeling of Jiangcheng. Instead of going to the hospital today, I went to the community to see the lives of people during the pandemic. The buses were completely out of service and could not be taxied, and the map showed that the nearest neighborhood was three kilometers away, so I decided to walk there with my equipment on my back. ”

Excerpt from: "War Epidemic Diary" Author: Guo An'an

When Guo Anan went out, the fourth group of medical staff returned. As soon as the door was opened, a big-eyed male doctor stopped at a distance and motioned for her to go back and close the door first. They had just returned from the hospital, and it was always good to be vigilant.

After hearing that the door of the room not far away was closed, Guo Anan walked out of the hotel like a thief. Follow the route given on the map and you will pass a snack street, where you can buy a cheap and delicious breakfast in the morning if it is not affected by the epidemic.

But now those shops have long since closed their doors and become an empty alley.

Walking forward, finally to the open road, the former traffic has long been replaced by the "cold saddle horse in front of the door", walked for more than ten minutes, Guo Anan saw the most is the electric car, everyone is wrapped tightly, see someone on the opposite side of the long distance began to detour.

Perhaps under the influence of antidepressants, Guo Anan began to get tired of his legs and feet after walking for a while, and it became difficult to breathe while wearing a mask. She was eager to take off her mask and take a big breath of fresh air.

There was a sudden sound of car brakes behind him, the window was slowly lowered, and a little brother in a yellow vest leaned over and greeted Guo Anan loudly.

"Girl, where are you going?" the little brother's eyes were bright and kind.

"I'm going to the community in front, master, where are you going?" Guo Anan was relieved when he saw the yellow vest on the other party's body, they were all his own people.

"Then are you going to go to the Huangqiao community? If you go there, you will have to walk for a while, get in the car, I just happened to be on the way." The little brother lowered the back window by half, "Now in a special period, you can sit in the back seat, let's lower the window, it will be safer." ”

Guo Anan really couldn't take a step, so he didn't get into the car politely.

"Isn't your accent local, but you're also here to support our Huhan?" the little brother drove the vehicle skillfully and talked to Guo Anan enthusiastically.

"I'm a reporter from Lu Daily, and I just came here with Dr. Yuanhan a few days ago. ”

"Reporter, it's not easy for you to run to our Huhan when it's so dangerous. The little brother looked at the SLR that Guo Anan was carrying, and said with some envy: "Actually, I also like photography, but then the conditions did not allow it, so I gave up." ”

Guo Anan said with a smile: "It's a pity that there will be danger in contact now, otherwise it will make you addicted." ”

The little brother waved his hand, "When I get through this epidemic, I plan to buy a camera too, take pictures of people and scenes, and keep those beautiful things." But why are you going to the Huangqiao community, there have been a few confirmed cases over there in the past two days!"

"I see a lot of requests for help on Weibo, so I want to go to the community to see the real situation, so that the outside world can also have a real understanding of the situation here. ”

"Thank you so much, on behalf of the people of Huhan City, thank you, now many people outside don't realize how terrible this disease is, and always think that we Huhan people are miserable, but the real situation is much worse than those. I'll just tell you, since the lockdown, the entire city's public transport has stopped, and it's like suddenly pressing the pause button. ”

Guo Anan understands what the little brother said that before the epidemic, the entire city of Huhan was running efficiently, both in terms of urban development and economic level, which was close to the first-tier cities in China, but when everyone was still busy preparing for the New Year and calling friends to get together, everything changed.

After watching too many joys and sorrows, the little brother also saved a belly, and he told the story of the past few days while driving.

The little brother's name is Huang Huan, he was originally a Didi Express driver, his wife is a middle school math teacher, and he took his daughter back to his hometown in Henan after the winter vacation. Huang Huan originally wanted to earn more fuel money before the year, but he didn't think that the epidemic would come, although he had no symptoms and wore a mask every day to go out of the car, he was still worried that he would bring the virus home, so he simply stayed in Huhan.

Before Huhan officially closed the city, Huang Huan originally planned to go home to isolate until the end of the epidemic after receiving the last order, but he didn't expect that the order would pick up a nurse who had just gotten off work from the hospital.

The nurse was wearing a mask and looked like she was in her early twenties, and as soon as she got in the car, she began to sit in the back and shed tears.

Huang Huan looked distressed, and began to chat with the nurse. It turned out that the young lady lived in Jiangbei, but the hospital where she worked was in Jiangnan, and after the bus suddenly stopped, it became a problem for the young lady to commute to work. Before Huang Huan picked her up, she tried to take a taxi several times, but she didn't take the order, she stood in the cold wind for more than 20 minutes, and by the time Huang Huan arrived, she was already on the verge of collapse.

The young lady said with tears in her eyes: "Several doctors and nurses in the hospital have been diagnosed, but more and more people are coming to see the doctor, and there is a serious shortage of medical staff......

But even so, she chose to insist on coming to work, she was afraid, but as a nurse, she was determined not to back down at such a time.

After sending the young lady home, Huang Huan took out his mobile phone and added the contact information of the nurse. Huang Huan decided to use his own way to strengthen this city that was weakened by the virus. Since that day, he has volunteered to transport medical staff who are unable to travel to and from work, and can chat with them on the way to relieve the tense atmosphere.

But most of the time, Huang Huan is playing the role of a confidant brother, because those medical staff will cry unconsciously when they talk. From the moment they stepped into the gate of the hospital, they began to see patients all the time, the hospital's protective clothing resources are tight, they try to wear a set of protective equipment for a day, dare not drink water, can not eat, let alone go to the toilet, everyone will wear a pair of diapers for domestic needs, because once taken off to change another set of protective clothing, they must save use.

"There is a good saying, there is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you. After Huang Huan finished speaking, he slowly pulled the car on the side of the road, "This is the Huangqiao community, but I don't think it's much fun for you to come, most of those who can see a doctor have gone to the hospital, and some are healthy, and people are also closed and don't want to contact people." You don't always meet people. ”

Guo Anan took out his mobile phone, "Brother Huan, in fact, my biggest gain today is that I got in your car, can I write down your deeds?"

Huang Huan was embarrassed: "What deeds can I have, I just said a few words to you casually, there is nothing to write about, if you want to write, use it, anyway, I really think that these doctors and nurses are not easy, you should write more about them." ”

"Brother Huan, let's add WeChat, in this case, those who can take the initiative to sign up for volunteers are all heroes!" Guo Anan exchanged contact information with Huang Huan at a distance of more than one meter, and forced Huang Huan to send some fuel money, and then waved goodbye to Huang Huan.

The situation in the Huangqiao community is really the same as Huang Huan said, the doorman at the door was wearing a mask, and asked Guo Anan what he was doing a few meters away, Guo Anan took the initiative to show his press card, and said that he wanted to know about the life and medical treatment of residents in the community.

Unexpectedly, the doorman didn't recognize her press card at all, but waved his hand to drive Guo Anan away.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll just go in and take a look and leave, or you can contact the person in charge of the community and I'll find out the situation. Guo An'an was so bad at talking, but he was still kicked out by the doorman's uncle.

Guo Anan turned around and left in a frustrated manner, it seemed that the interview in the community was impossible, but after thinking about it, isolating outsiders from the community was also responsible for the residents of the community. Thinking of this, Guo Anan was a little relieved.

"Looking at the uncle's performance, this is not the appearance that the entrance of the community is unguarded as written on Weibo, and outsiders can enter and exit at will. Guo Anan stood on the side of the road and saw a car driving out of the community garage from a distance, and before he reached the door, the doorman uncle had already shouted loudly: "Where are you going? What is the temperature of which household?"

The owner lowered the window and said a few words to the doorman, and then the door slowly opened and let the car pass.

Guo Anan is very satisfied with the doorman's approach, if all communities can enter and exit strictly, at least they can prevent unknown infected people from entering.

"Girl, I'll just say that you may not be able to meet people, there are confirmed patients in this community, and now they are strictly checked in and out!" Huang Huan parked the car in front of him, and when he saw Guo Anan standing on the side of the road and did not move, he called directly.

"Brother Huan, I thought you were gone!" Guo Anan put down the camera and walked towards Huang Huan's car.

"I'll send you back first, and I'll have to pick up the doctors on shift later. Huang Huan took out a bottle of disinfectant and sprayed it in the car and Guo An'an, "During the special period, disinfection still needs to be done." There is a toilet paper in the back seat, and you take a little to wipe your clothes so that no aerosols form. ”

Guo Anan wiped the disinfectant on his clothes and wiped the exposed part of the camera again, these protections are not too much.

"Brother Huan, there are so many doctors and nurses in hospitals here, can you take it?" Guo Anan had a previous understanding, but he was more curious about Huang Huan.

"My strength alone is definitely not enough!" Huang Huan turned around and drove towards the hotel where Guo An'an lived.

Huang Huan met many peers when he was running Didi Express, and they specially built a sports car group to exchange order information with each other. After Huang Huan sent the nurse home that day, he posted this experience in the sports car group, which resonated with many people, some of whom have relatives or family members who also work in the hospital, so they can empathize more.

The next day, after Huang Huan sent the nurse to the hospital, he heard the information about the recruitment of volunteers broadcast on the traffic music radio, so he did not hesitate to sign up, and even mobilized the brothers in the sports car group to join the volunteer team. In this way, Huang Huan mobilized the Didi Express drivers around him to set up a volunteer pioneer team, which is mainly responsible for transporting doctors and nurses from various hospitals to and from work.

They also counted the number of people who need to be picked up and dropped off by each hospital, and assigned tasks according to the distance between each driver and the hospital, and the volunteer team has only been established for three days, and nearly 20 people have joined the team, with an average of more than 10 medical staff per person. Although doctors sometimes take over late shifts, they still arrange night shifts to ensure that every medical staff member is delivered home safely.

Every time they send medical staff to their homes, they send a message to the group. Influenced by them, more and more people in the group began to respond and took the initiative to contribute their driving skills to the fight against the epidemic.

Guo Anan was deeply encouraged when she heard this, and she immediately decided to record the glorious deeds of the volunteer pioneer team, and Huang Huan, as the founder, is naturally the most shining one.
