Day 4

"Monday, January 27, the fourth day of coming to the epidemic area. The state announced that the holiday will be extended until February 2, and it is unknown whether the epidemic will be under control by then. People are getting used to the tension and panic that pervades them, and the most difficult psychological moments have passed, and after calming down, many people choose to heed the call to stay at home, and many people take the risk of going out of the house for the sake of another group of people. ”

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

This night, Guo Anan finally did not lose sleep. She slept from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., neither haunted by nightmares nor woke up in the middle of the night. This was the first good sleep after coming to Huhan, and it was also the first time in two months that I fell asleep peacefully.

When the curtains were opened, it was still pitch black outside, as if there were no people.

"Actually, even during the day, it's not as quiet as the city. Guo Anan closed the curtains, sat back on the bed and picked up his phone.

In the middle of the night, the night shift staff of the "Pioneer Fleet Volunteers" sent several messages, all of which were about picking up and dropping off medical staff.

One of the pieces of news caught Guo An'an's attention - Harmony Hospital, which currently receives the most confirmed patients with new crown pneumonia, is seriously short of protective medical supplies, and the most scarce thing is protective clothing, a doctor may need two to three sets a day, and the consumption of protective clothing is very large, but at present, there is a shortage of protective materials in various places, and it cannot be purchased at all.

Guo Anan immediately contacted Wang Le, a volunteer who posted the information, in the group. Wang Lejia is the closest to Harmony Hospital, so he took the initiative to take on the errand of picking up doctors and nurses from Harmony Hospital, and he also has a better understanding of the situation of the hospital.

Seeing Guo An'an's message, Wang Le immediately replied by voice: "The doctor who picked up and dropped off in the early hours of this morning said that their inventory of protective clothing has been seriously insufficient, and in order to reduce waste, they have increased the use time of masks and protective clothing." Now some doctors don't have protective masks to use, and they have started to use garbage bags on their heads instead of Le! If the protective clothing is really gone, they will be really dangerous!"

For medical personnel, masks, protective clothing, etc. are protective covers and ammunition depots, and these insufficient supplies are putting them in danger, if they are also infected by the virus, then how can they go to the battlefield to treat diseases and save lives!

Judging from the news reflected by various platforms, most of the medical supplies are distributed by the state in a unified manner, social donations, foreign procurement and mailing, etc., and the power of non-governmental voluntary organizations accounts for a large part.

Guo Anan suddenly thought of his mother, who was still traveling in Japan, and now that there is no epidemic in Japan, there must be plenty of protective materials. Thinking of this, Guo Anan immediately dialed Mao Li's phone.

Mao Li is usually used to going to bed early and getting up early, but now that she has finished exercising and is ready to wash up for breakfast, she was a little surprised when she received a call from Guo Anan.

"An'an, what's wrong?" Thinking of Guo An'an's situation in Huhan at the moment, Mao Li couldn't help but worry.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just want to ask you to help me buy something. Guo Anan was not polite to his mother, and went straight to the point, "Now that there is a shortage of medical supplies in Huhan, can you still buy masks, goggles, protective clothing, and by the way, disposable medical caps, gloves, etc." ”

"Can you buy it! Girl, didn't the unit bring you some when you went to Huhan, and you didn't want to buy some first, it's so careless!" Mao Li pays attention to the epidemic situation in Huhan every day because of Guo An'an's relationship, and the overwhelming news also makes Mao Li realize the seriousness of the epidemic.

"The protective materials prepared for me by the unit are very sufficient, but there is a shortage of protective equipment in the hospital, and I want you to buy some from abroad, although it is only a drop in the bucket, but at least it can relieve some pressure. ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me!" Mao Li responded without thinking about it, protecting the doctor is indirectly protecting her daughter, and she is happy even if she spends all her savings.

"Mom, now the domestic flights from Japan have not been canceled, but the domestic highway has been partially closed, and I asked my friends if they knew anything about shipping logistics, so I could find a way to transport things in. ”

Hanging up the phone, Guo Anan's brows locked again, although my mother can buy some of it, but her personal power is too small, and there are many doctors and nurses in the hospital, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

She wanted to ask Peng Wei for advice, but considering that he was also running around every day to ensure the supplies of the medical staff who assisted Han, the idea was nipped in the bud as soon as it started.

"Since personal strength is not enough, then find foreign aid!" Guo Anan took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Huang Qingquan, briefly describing the situation that Wang Le said, she thought about it, and added: "Mr. Huang, the current medical situation in the epidemic area is worrying. I think we can mobilize the power of society to join forces in this fight against the epidemic. ”

Huang Qingquan immediately replied to the message: "The situation has been learned, and I will start the relevant planning and plan as soon as possible." Before that, you also need to go to the relevant hospital to obtain official information, and we must ensure the accuracy of the information to avoid causing panic in the society. You will send the information you know directly back to me in front of me, remember, your task is first and foremost to protect yourself, and if there is a problem, our newspaper will solve it with you!"

Seeing Huang Qingquan's words, Guo An'an's nose was sour again, she still had an urge to escape from this world before she came, but now, she felt that this world was still so beautiful......

After doing this, Guo Anan put his phone aside and opened the curtains again, and the sky was already bright. There are still no young people who get up early and go for a morning jog on the streets, and there is no dance team of elderly people who sway and dance to the songs of the Phoenix legend.

Quiet, silent, became a close-up of the city.

When Chai Jing recorded the SARS epidemic in 2003 in "Seeing", she wrote: "In my original life, I thought about how to put a question mark every day, put on the right clothes, and walked through the familiar and restrained streets every day, just like this, until I died, I didn't expect that there would be such a day." ”

Guo Anan never thought that he would encounter such a day in 2020, 17 years later.

She knew that she was starting to suppress it again, and this feeling always suddenly invaded her heart, like a black dog, and suddenly swallowed up those touches and pleasures.

Before the delivered lunch box was delivered, Guo Anan finished eating the compressed biscuits and swallowed the antidepressant pills in one gulp. Every day in Huhan, she has to be prepared for tough battles, and she has to keep her body in the best condition.

Yesterday, Peng Wei specially reminded Guo Anan not to go out with SLR and other machines when he goes out, since the intervention of experts, the true face of the new coronavirus has been revealed little by little, and the preventive measures to cut off the transmission route have become more and more targeted.

Guo An'an fully charged her phone, and she was relieved to think that thanks to the advancement of technology, she could now solve all kinds of problems with a small mobile phone, and she didn't know how many times luckier than the reporter in 2003.

As for the logistics from Japan to Huhan, she still has no clue, but the first problem to do at the moment is obviously to understand the actual situation of Harmony Hospital.

She took out the list that Peng Wei gave her, the doctors in the second batch of medical teams to aid Han were not assigned to Harmony Hospital, and the number given by dialing 114 was always busy, in order to get the most authentic information, Guo Anan decided to directly contact the doctors of the hospital to understand the situation.

Huang Huan learned that Guo An'an was going to go to the field for an interview, and he persuaded a few words of concern that almost all Huhan people knew that most of the patients admitted to Harmony Hospital were severe and critically ill, and the concentration of the virus there far exceeded that in other places.

She was also scared in her heart, but she still gritted her teeth and was ruthless, "Brother Huan, thank you for your kindness, but I am a reporter, so I have no right not to choose not to know the truth." ”

"In that case, I'll drive you there, at least you can walk a little less, but the journey back is up to you. Huang Huan had already finished sending off the nurses who went to work in the morning, and part of the time vacated was just right to give Guo Anan a ride.

After being armed with his whole body in accordance with the requirements for leaving the station, Guo Anan went out tightly wrapped up.

Huang Huan is still wearing a mask, I don't know if it is still the one he wore yesterday, his eyes are a little tired, but he is still full of vitality when he speaks.

"Girl, I advise you again, if you can call to solve the problem, try not to run to Harmony Hospital, it's really dangerous. Wang Le called me this morning to say this, another doctor has been diagnosed, you think, such professional doctors are inevitably infected, and we ordinary people have to protect themselves. ”

Guo Anan knew that he was doing it for his own good, but none of the volunteers, including Wang Le, were risking their lives to provide services to medical staff, and she was ashamed to be a front-line reporter.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Huang Huan no longer insisted on it, he had the courage and knowledge to have the right idea, he had seen a lot of this kind of girl in the past few days, and he sincerely admired it from the bottom of his heart.

Tongren Hotel is some distance away from Harmony Hospital, and the two talked about the shortage of medical protective materials. As a group that has a relatively large number of contacts with medical staff in hospitals, volunteers can better understand their difficulties, but after the lockdown, pharmacies and large supermarkets have almost closed, and all the medical supplies they can buy have been bought out, so they have no choice but to resist the rising demand.

"By the way, I asked my mother to purchase a batch of goggles, protective clothing and other materials from Japan, but now I don't know if there is a courier to Huhan, do you understand?"

"The whole Huhan has been closed, and I haven't seen the courier in the past few days, I'll inquire later, and I'll let you know as soon as I have one. Huang Huan was also worried about the purchase of protective equipment in the past two days, but after hearing Guo An'an's words about mobilizing his relatives to buy from abroad, he had a little more respect for this girl who seemed weak and had strong action.

"Alas, why did this good city get sick all of a sudden?" Huang Huan drove on the road unimpeded all the way, and inexplicably began to miss the appearance of traffic jams when commuting to and from work.

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to cure it!" Guo Anan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Huan, I have another piece of good news here, do you want to hear it?"
