A few days later, Rob remembered Grandpa Jiang's situation and called him to inquire.

"Grandpa Jiang, how are you feeling these days? Do you have any symptoms of cough or fever, or difficulty breathing or chest pain? ”

"Xiao Luo, thank you for thinking about me, I have no symptoms, everything is fine, don't worry!"

"And what about your daughter and son-in-law?"

"They're all very good, my daughter and son-in-law are at home with their grandchildren, and they come home once every two years, and I don't know if I'll be able to see them next time. ”

His voice was low, and he laughed a couple more later, and Rob listened a little sadly.

Grandpa Jiang said that his retirement salary was completely enough to spend, but the buildings in the community were like lattices, separating people. Unlike the previous compound, the neighbors can come out to play and can always see each other. Sometimes the flowers and plants are tending on the balcony, and the neighbors on the other balcony also come out to let off the wind, and only talk through the window.

She could feel the loneliness of the old man, in a sense, his daily life was isolation. What I look forward to most in a year is to reunite with my family, but this year, due to the epidemic, the old man's expectations for a year have been disappointed.

To a certain extent, she can understand the current isolation of Grandpa Jiang's son, but she feels that while defending against the spread of the virus, she needs more understanding and care between people, and she can't isolate her heart while isolating the virus.

Before hanging up the phone, Grandpa Jiang paused and said slowly, "When the spring comes, there is no virus, and I really hope to have another New Year." ”

………………

Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of an inflection point, but for Wubei City, which is the hardest-hit area, the number of patients continues to increase, so the inflection point in either the mathematical sense or other senses has not yet arrived.

Some experts' analogy is more vivid, saying that the turning point is not the darkness before dawn, but 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

This statement is more reliable and relatively easy to understand.

Many people mistakenly think that the inflection point is that cases are no longer growing, but this is not the case.

The inflection point is not the number of cases, but the rate of growth in cases.

In simple terms, before the inflection point, the rate of growth per day is increasing, e.g., 10 cases on the first day, 20 cases on the second day, and 50 cases on the third day, while after the inflection point, the rate of growth per day decreases, e.g., 100 cases on day 20, 50 cases on day 21, and 10 cases on day 22.

The number of cases is always increasing, but the rate of increase is slowing down.

Therefore, if it really reaches an inflection point, it means that the total number of cumulative cases has reached half, and theoretically half of the cases are expected.

But the remaining half of the cases will grow more slowly every day.

The number of patients should be increasing when the inflection point occurs, so it does not mean that it can be taken lightly.

The relationship between the number of cured people and the inflection point should not be large, the inflection point is related to the new addition, and the number of cured people is related to the case fatality rate.

The first thing Rob does when he gets up every morning is to pay attention to the epidemic situation in Wubei City, although they are still in "midnight", but the situation is indeed developing in the direction of the number, which is the most gratifying.

When he went downstairs, Xu Chuan had just come down from upstairs, "You're so early?"

"Yes, isn't there a big peng in the community today?

"Me too. ”

Starting today, there will be no need to buy food for residents in groups.

There are many varieties of vegetables in the community, as well as eggs and noodles. When she encounters a dish that she doesn't have, she can still make a reservation, thinking of the "meat" she talked about with Xu Chuan last night, she also asked a special question, but the result was that there was no meat for sale.

However, this vegetable shed will remain open until the end of the epidemic. In this way, manpower and material resources are saved a lot.

They don't have to carry food every day!

There are no major worries about basic living problems, and the whole city is gradually improving, and the number of cases is decreasing day by day.

A little bit of good news every day is enough to keep people going.

As they spoke, the two walked under a tree, Xu Chuanyang unintentionally raised his head, and suddenly said in surprise: "Look!"

Rob looked up and followed his fingers, and between them the tall oak tree above his head began to sprout. "Sprouted?"

Is the city starting to recover?

The weather has been exceptionally good these days, and she has seen feral cats moving around the trees in the early morning, and sometimes lying downstairs somewhere in the sun when the sun is shining. Their cosy appearance is somewhat enviable. For these little beings, this is also an unusual and quiet life.

There is no need to buy food in groups, and Rob has not done as many things as usual, so in the morning she opened a shed with the people of the property, and after lunch, she went to Dajiang to fry to help.

"Xiao Luo, I haven't been here for a few days, are you very busy these days?"

Rob said: "A lot of things have happened in the past few days, today is just a little free, moreover, the community has built a vegetable shed, residents can go downstairs to buy according to their own needs, we don't have to count the number of group purchases every day, all of a sudden is a little uncomfortable! It just so happened that today it was my turn to deliver food with Brother Lin, and I came over." ”

Zhao Dajiang and Liu Ying glanced at each other and smiled.

Liu Ying said: "You are used to it, you are not used to it, but you are not used to it!"

"Yes!" Rob spread his hands, "However, this also shows that the epidemic has passed a stage, and we can win the final victory if we persist for a while!"

While helping Liu Ying lay out all the boxed lunches, Luo Bu first titled the rice, and after a while, Zhao Dajiang finished the dishes, and then he could directly load the dishes. "Now that many medical staff have been transferred to the field hospital, the demand on our side is not so large. ”

"That's more than a hundred boxes!

The two of them were talking and working, Zhao Dajiang came out with a big pot of vegetables and said: "I forgot to tell you, yesterday Lao Lin came back to tell me that some patients also want to eat with us, I thought about making 100 servings and 200 servings, so I agreed, all at cost price." ”

Liu Ying had no opinion when she heard it, and the two of them looked like husbands and wives.

Rob said: "That's okay, today I'll go to deliver food and directly count how many patients have ordered food." ”

After loading the boxed lunch, Lin Feng arrived on time, and several people followed him to carry the boxed lunches into the car, and the two set off towards the central hospital.

Seeing that Lin Feng's expression was a little wrong, Luo Bu didn't want to talk so much before, so he couldn't help asking, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, "We've known each other for so long, and we're not outsiders, so I'll tell you." Actually, it's my brother's business. ”
