Inscription: After the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the sea breeze is cold, and it is difficult to blow the transverse flute all over the road

January 4, 2020 is an ordinary day for Wuhan. Television stations, radio stations, newspapers and many new media outlets are seeing more and more programs and content full of New Year's flavor, which seems to be no different from previous years. Some online media are also increasing the content of the Lunar New Year, especially the annoying pop-up advertisements on mobile phones that can never be deleted, which seem to be more and more intense. People are constantly busy in the streets and alleys, large and small construction sites are hurrying to construct before the festival, some farmers' markets are very lively, the traffic is busy, the crowds are crowded, thousands of tons of goods are transported in from all over the country, and at the same time, they are bought home by thousands of households. Reservations for reunion dinners have also reached a peak, and some good hotels have long been out of seats. And the orders are scheduled until the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year. Some families are also planning to take advantage of the rare holiday during the Lunar New Year to hold festive parties, wedding banquets, birthday banquets, birthday banquets, celebration banquets, etc., and are also preparing intensively. In several famous supermarkets in Wuhan, more and more people are buying New Year's goods, and people's enthusiasm, passion and joy, the expectation of the Gengzi Spring Festival, and the generosity and decisiveness of being willing to spend money seem to be more than in previous years. In some communities on the streets and alleys, there are already sausages, preserved fish, bacon and other preserved goods hanging on the balconies of many families. The Spring Festival is about to begin, and people have already begun to grab tickets, and some even mobilize relatives and friends to grab tickets day and night in order to go home, for the reunion dinner, the family gathering, and the affectionate filial piety. The number of people in Hankou, Wuhan and Wuchang railway stations is gradually increasing, people are carrying, carrying or dragging their bags, and they are in a hurry, and there are more people dragging suitcases on the streets, subway entrances, and bus stations, all the scenes show that people are starting to be busy with the New Year.

Zhu Yi has not gone home for the past few days, and he is in the hospital, as the director of the respiratory medicine department of Fumin Hospital, there are several phenomena that make him very worried. The number of patients with fever is increasing day by day, and the number of patients with fever is also increasing, and the number of patients with fever is also increasing, and common treatments do not seem to be effective. He had a vague sense of a potential threat launching a surprise attack on unsuspecting people.

He was like a fighting warrior every day, with a large number of outpatients, and there was no sign of abating, and the beds, the tight beds, became more and more prominent. His only recourse was to treat people and carry out supportive interventions, and he vaguely felt that a major epidemic might be coming.

He is 51 years old this year, majoring in internal medicine for seven years, and then studying for several years for a master's degree and a doctorate in pulmonology. He has been practicing medicine for 22 years and is a well-known respiratory medicine expert in Wuhan. In 2003, he was sent to Guangzhou as a member of the expert group to fight SARS. In the 60 days and nights of the short-term encounter with SARS, he wrote a thick book of front-line experience to stop SARS, recorded the epidemic situation every day, he as an expert representative, went deep into Yuexiu, Panyu and other places in Guangzhou, did epidemiological investigations, he went deep into dozens of communities to visit, prevent and control, popularize science, he is very familiar with the thinking of infectious diseases and their transmission routes and traditional treatment methods. Whether it is from a deep professional background, more than 20 years of clinical experience, and practical experience in the fight against SARS, all the rich theories and practices converged into a preliminary judgment in his mind: Wuhan may have a dangerous public health incident. As for what this event is? What causes it to happen? What is the virus? And how to prevent and control it? As a doctor, a man of the apricot forest, as a party member, and at the same time as a Wuhan person, he is not only anxious but also anxious. He thought that he had to be ready to respond urgently at any time, and at a critical moment, he would stand up and not hesitate.

Late at night, Liu Xinxin, the head nurse, ran over nervously, her forehead was full of sweat, and her calm and beautiful eyes behind the myopic glasses were full of tears, choked up, and said to Zhu Yi: "Director Zhu, bed No. 25 is no longer working, the patient's breathing is weak!" ”

Zhu Yi hurried to the ward and found that the patient had rolled to the floor, and the patient's wife on the side cried non-stop, hugged her husband, and let out a heart-rending cry: "You, you can't go, God, you leave him behind!" Oh my god-woo-. This kind of painful cry, which almost used life and all love, echoed in the corridor of the hospital, waking up all the patients, and this sound was transmitted from the corridor to the whole ward, the whole hospital. People's hearts are being torn apart, cut with knives!

The patient's stiff body lay motionless on the floor, and his woman fainted. Zhu Yi tried all means and was busy for more than an hour, but in the end he couldn't save the life of this ordinary person. He left like this, so suddenly, but it seems that there are still many memories of this world, maybe there are too many regrets and regrets. The eyes of the deceased patient were wide open, and the two eyeballs had bulged out from struggle or pain, and the mouth was open like a black hole. Zhu Yi slowly covered the deceased with a white sheet, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, rest in peace!" Let's go! ”

At five o'clock in the morning on this day, Wuhan in the depths of winter had just woken up from sleep, some abnormalities occurred in Fumin Hospital, people began to gather in the outpatient clinic, the wide outpatient registration hall was crowded with people, so early, so many people, so urgent, this is unprecedented! What's more, people are still rushing here, and there are more and more patients, and later patients have to wait on the porch or outside the outpatient building!

Zhu Yi was scared, worried, and very anxious. Although it was past five o'clock in the morning, it was still early before the time to go to work, and he dialed the phone number of the dean, Li Ming. He said nervously: "Dean Li, the outpatient hall of the hospital is full of people now. ”

Dean Li didn't seem to understand or react, and asked, "What?" So early, the outpatient department is packed? Are you mistaken? ”

Zhu Yi said: "This phenomenon is rare! ”

Dean Li was silent, with his professional sensitivity, he felt that the situation was very serious and he had to act immediately. He asked, "Are the test results out?" ”

Zhu Yi said: "We urged several times, and the testing unit said that there may be results today, because the test results have to be reviewed by experts and leaders. ”

Li Ming said loudly: "The efficiency is too low, you directly contact the testing institution, and say that there is a patient in Fumin Hospital who has passed away, which is very dangerous, and 100,000 is urgent!" ”

Zhu Yi said: "You can only find someone after going to work, and the situation is really urgent!" ”

Li Ming said loudly: "Time waits for no one now, we must race against time, race against the disease, one second earlier and one minute earlier, maybe we can save more people's lives." ”

Finally, when it was official work time, Zhu Yi dialed the phone number of the testing unit, and the people who answered the phone did not know the virus testing and laboratory situation. He found his classmates who worked in the testing unit. The classmate hesitated for a while, and said: "Old classmate, I have something to say first, I told you not to spread the word, the test results of the new virus are still confidential, and whoever leaked the secret, causing social panic and turmoil, is responsible!" ”

Zhu Yi's heart hung in the air, nervous to the extreme, he obviously felt his heartbeat accelerating, and whispered: "Old classmate, our two brothers have known each other for decades, and they have known each other since they were in elementary school, and they have been sleeping in bunk beds in college, and you still don't know who I am?" ”

Zhu Yi's classmates are doing testing and laboratory testing in the testing unit, and the virus sent for testing this time is a laboratory test done by him. But out of the red line of work and the sensitivity of his profession, he only revealed part of the situation to Zhu Yi. "This is a new type of coronavirus, which is very pathogenic and contagious," he said. ”

Zhu Yi was shocked: "Huh? This, this...... What to do? His scalp was numb, and it seemed as if blood was pouring all over his body to his heart and the top of his head, and he almost fainted. At this time, his classmate said: "I have already reported the virus test results to the leadership, and I don't know how far it has been reflected." ”

Zhu Yi said: "Can you send me the test results and their data, and we will report to Fumin Hospital urgently." As soon as he finished speaking, his classmates said, "Why do you lack basic common sense?" The announcement of such test results requires the approval of the leadership, and it is possible to report to a higher decision-making level, understand? The classmate hung up.

Zhu Yi was stunned, where to stay, seemed to have forgotten himself, forgot the outpatient department, forgot the hospital, forgot the existence of the world, and only had two concepts in his mind: the new coronavirus, highly pathogenic and contagious. He looked out the window in a daze, the winter sun, peaceful and warm shining on Wuhan, a beautiful and atmospheric landscape city, looking from afar, the sky is high and wide, a vast expanse, the cold of winter seems to be just the coat of this city with a population of more than 15 million, the subway is running non-stop, Tianhe Airport is in a hurry day and night, the first ring, the second ring, the third ring and even the fourth ring, the vehicles are flowing endlessly, the city is crowded with people, a hurry and prosperous, Luojia Mountain, Yujia Mountain, Guizi Mountain, Mafang Mountain, Jiufeng Mountain, Moshan layer of forests are dyed, It has added a lot of beauty and precipitation to the city......
