Since March, Shanghai has been hit by a new round of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. In the past week, Shanghai's daily new local confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections have been on the rise, and the cumulative number of asymptomatic infections has reached tens of thousands.
The continuous large number of new cases has brought unprecedented challenges to Shanghai's urban operation. A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily noticed that this super-large city, which was once characterized by refined management, is now struggling to deal with various emergencies-isolation, transfer and treatment of confirmed patients, and living guarantees in sealed and controlled areas. , every thing involves a lot of human and material resources. But under the lockdown, the mutual help and responsibility of Shanghai citizens still makes the city feel warm everywhere.
Positive patients are quarantined at home and are cared for by neighbors
Due to the large number of asymptomatic infections diagnosed in this round of epidemic in Shanghai, even if the construction of temporary isolation points is accelerated, it cannot ensure that every confirmed patient can be transported immediately. This makes some asymptomatic infected people need to self-isolate at home.
Will these patients be discriminated against by other residents of the community while they are at home? When symptoms such as fever and cough occur, are there enough medications to relieve them? To this end, the reporter interviewed positive patients in multiple communities.
In a community in Cai Town, northeast of Pudong, Luo Ding's mother (pseudonym) tested positive for nucleic acid on March 30. The elderly person is the first confirmed patient since the community was closed. After learning the test results, all six members of Luo Ding's family underwent strict self-isolation and stayed at home. Neighbors tried to send some medicines to his house. His neighbor Xiao Fu said: "The Luoding family has a baby under 1 year old. If they want to stay in the building for isolation, I personally have no objection."
In a small community in Xuhui District, Shanghai, the male owner of a family tested positive for nucleic acid. Two days later, the 6-year-old daughter of the family also tested positive for nucleic acid, with a fever of 38.4°C. The family was short of antipyretics and drinking water, so the couple sought help in the community group. Neighbors are all helping to find ways, some find antipyretics for children, some seek professional advice from doctors and friends, and some provide drinking water that has been hoarded at home.
Since the residents of the community were required to stay at home during the lockdown period, everyone kept the supplies outside their homes and handed them over by volunteers and property staff. At noon the next day, the girl's body temperature dropped to 37.7°C, and the neighbors breathed a sigh of relief.
In the second phase of Yangang Riverside City in Pudong, residents of Building 28 formulated the "Guidelines for Epidemic Prevention and Protection of Building 28". In us normal people, spend more time with the real infected people, especially the elderly and babies."
During the screening at the end of March, the community had multiple abnormal nucleic acid sampling, and some buildings were closed due to positive cases. The patients who have not yet been picked up did not encounter suspicion and accusations in the community, but received all kinds of loving "feeding" and care. At the regular meeting of resident volunteers, in view of the new situation of positive resident antigen test, how to treat neighbors well while protecting everyone's health is the primary issue of discussion.
Lively community groups can solve "critical problems"
Recently, with the increase in the number of confirmed cases in Shanghai, tens of thousands of medical staff from all over the country have rushed to Shanghai to do nucleic acid sampling and patient diagnosis and treatment for this mega city with a population of about 25 million.
But on the online platform, complaints about Shanghai's "inadequate service" also appear from time to time. Some people say that they can't get the vegetables; some people think that the speed of distributing free vegetable gift bags in the streets is too slow; some people call the street epidemic prevention office to complain. Shanghai's rumor-refuting platform has "rumors to refute" almost every day.
Compared with the complaints on the Internet, the most lively are the various community groups and building groups in Shanghai. These groups can solve residents' "urgent problems" as quickly as possible.
"I have a package for group purchase, can I ask volunteers to help me pick it up in the lobby?" "The elderly at home have a fever, who has antipyretics?" "I bought mochi bread, and whoever needs it can share it with him at the door of the house. "Contactless pick-up"... These seemingly trivial matters are now a major event for Shanghai citizens who are locked up at home.
In a closed community in Changning District, Shanghai, Xiao Shang, a young man who lives alone, spends almost every day in the community group, and she "pins" the community group on WeChat. Xiaoshang bought 300 yuan of food on the fresh food platform. After the platform showed that it had arrived, the volunteers did not find her package. Just when she was worrying about eating, the street where she was located distributed a free vegetable and meat spree. People were pleasantly surprised to find that this package contained hairtail. On April 3, it was dubbed "Changning Fried Hairtail Day" by Shanghai residents.
But Xiao Shang can't make hairtail. After the community group asked for help, a neighbor took the initiative to help her fry the octopus for her. "Renting here is more warm than trouble." Xiao Shang sighed in the circle of friends.
Cai Town, northeast of Pudong, Shanghai, is the "core area" in this round of epidemic. Su Hua, Secretary of the Party Branch of Tongfuyi Residential District in Beicai Town, together with the staff of the neighborhood committee and social workers, stayed in the community for more than 20 days. They eat and live in the "home door service station" located in the community. They get up at 6:00 every morning and work until 9:00 or even later in the evening. With hoarse voices, they organize residents to do nucleic acid with community volunteers and help residents arrange Group purchase, receipt, classification, distribution of materials, etc.
During this period of time, Su Hua called all the friends who could supply the goods, and also contacted the contact person of the supply guarantee unit provided in the town and district to sort out the materials urgently needed by the residents and prioritize group purchases. "There are many large supermarkets around our community, but they don't deliver anymore. In the early stage of the closure of the community, residents could get orders on the platform themselves, but in the later stage, they basically relied on group buying." Su Hua said that some time ago, residents were the most in short supply. Vegetables and meat, but the demand for milk powder, diapers, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar has increased sharply in the past two days, and he is trying to find new products.
The neighborhood committee also faces the problem of accompanying residents to see a doctor and helping them dispense medicines every day. Residents who want to dispense medicines will unify their medical insurance cards to the neighborhood committee, and social workers will go to a nearby hospital to dispense medicines. The neighborhood committee will send someone to drive and accompany the patient during the obstetric examination and hemodialysis. "Every neighborhood committee I know has been working hard recently," Su Hua said.
In Shanghai, there are many such warm stories. Li Na, the manager of a Lawson convenience store in Minhang District, lived in the store for 23 days in order to ensure the supply, and opened the store every day; 78-year-old Grandma Chen, son and daughter-in-law of Zidi Lanting Community in Jinshan District, all went to the front line of the war. Chang Lu Weijing cooks two meals a day for her to deliver to her door; Dongfang Huijingyuan Community in Pudong New Area spontaneously organizes a "light show", and at night, the lighting effect of "I Love SH" is displayed through the control of each household's electric lights, expressing its determination to fight the epidemic.
Medical staff and patients have built a deep "friendship in arms"
In addition to community workers and community volunteers, Shanghai also has a group of employees of enterprises and institutions who are active in the front line of supply guarantees. They work in the most dangerous jobs to keep the city running.
At 3:00 in the middle of the night on April 1, it was the time when Puxi’s closure and control were opened. On the night of March 31, when many Puxi citizens were rushing to buy in major supermarkets, a team of young volunteers from the Shanghai Hospital Management Headquarters of Sinopharm Holdings rushed to the Hanting Hotel in Baoshan District. According to the prevention and control requirements, they have to check into the hotel before Puxi begins to close and control, and "closed-loop management" themselves, so that the medicine can be delivered across the city the next day.
The company is responsible for delivering nearly 50% of the orders placed by the city's residents in Internet hospitals, and each order may be a "life-saving medicine" for a citizen. However, previously, logistics and express delivery companies that were originally responsible for distribution have been suspended due to the impact of the epidemic, and a large number of medicines have been stranded in hospitals and warehouses. The company's party committee immediately called on young people, middle and high-level cadres and party members to take the lead, and established a "express team" composed of more than 50 middle and senior managers and office clerks. They live in a closed-loop management hotel and wear protective clothing to deliver medicine to Shanghai residents every day.
On March 31, when Zheng Xin, an employee of the company's office, arrived at the closed-loop hotel, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, but he and several other colleagues were told that they could not stay because they were from Puxi and the nucleic acid test results had not yet come out that day. Several people sat in the car outside the hotel lobby for one night, and waited until the nucleic acid results came out the next day before checking in. After checking in, he went out to deliver medicine immediately.
After learning that the headquarters of Sinopharm Holding Shanghai Hospital urgently needed a closed-loop management hotel, Huazhu Hotel Group immediately prepared a Hanting hotel with isolation experience for it, and specially equipped a working team with closed-loop management experience. "At that time, I looked for a lot of hotels. I heard that we wanted to deliver medicines every day, but I felt that the risk was too high and refused." According to the relevant person in charge of the company, the "medicine delivery team" also won 800 self-heating copies coordinated by the Pudong New Area Commerce Committee. Rice, large trucks for the transportation of medicines coordinated by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Transportation, etc.
At the isolation and treatment points, a deep "friendship in arms" has been established between medical staff and patients. In the temporary centralized isolation and treatment point of Renji Hospital in the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, 180 patients turned into "volunteers" and cooperated with medical staff to distribute nearly 2,600 lunch boxes per meal every day.
Mr. Fu is an asymptomatic infected person and a volunteer. He publishes a Douyin video every day to record the bits and pieces of the isolation and treatment points. "The medical staff are working too hard, I hope I can help them share a little." He said that at first he was worried about whether he could adapt to the life of centralized isolation, but after staying at the isolation point, he found that whether it was the care of the "big whites", or Food and environment are much better than expected.
The reporter was informed that there are some teenagers in this isolation point. These children are in isolation while taking online classes. Under limited conditions, the Shanghai Children's Medical Center, the receiving party, specially prepared a simple desk for a group of students facing the middle and high school entrance examination, and "received orders" to print learning materials to help them continue their studies.
