(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Wuhan epidemic: from "bystanders" to volunteers
China News Service, Wuhan, February 23rd: The epidemic of the war in Wuhan: from "bystanders" to volunteers
China News Agency reporter Xu Jinbo
"I had a very sad time ago. Recently, I saw a large number of medical staff supporting Wuhan. Residents are helping each other, which makes me feel hope to overcome the epidemic." I learned that the community began to recruit volunteers on the 23rd and lives in Wuchang District, Wuhan City. Yang Feng from Xudong Street rushed to register early in the morning.

Because he has been “home” at home for more than 20 days, and there is no confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia and suspected patients in the building, Yang Feng, 32, has successfully become a volunteer service volunteer. After safety protection training and wearing protective equipment, he and many volunteers took on the task of delivering vegetables to the community's needy residents.
"As a 'wanderer' who was once isolated, I will use my actions to let more people see hope." Yang Feng said, because he works in a foreign country and spends less time with his wife and children in Wuhan. Years ago it was decided that a family of three would drive to Fangchenggang in Guangxi for the Spring Festival.
"When we set out on January 20, we stayed at the local hotel we had booked that night." He said that on the 23rd, the news of "closed city" in Wuhan came, and the hotel staff immediately asked them to change their accommodation.
So he drove around asking about the homestay. But people saw his Hubei A license plate and Wuhan ID card, and refused to move in. The family of three had to embark on the return journey on New Year's Eve on the 24th.
With the escalation of the Wuhan epidemic prevention and control level, the number of newly diagnosed patients is increasing, and the number of new deaths is increasing, especially in the Xudong business district, which saw crowds and traffic, and implemented motor vehicle bans and shopping malls in Wuhan. He became increasingly distressed after the announcements of closing the door and closed management of the community became scarce. "What's wrong with our city? I even suspected that my return was a wrong decision."
In early February, he felt a bit of light. On the one hand, domestic and foreign donated materials and medical personnel are constantly flowing to Wuhan, on the other hand, the "Vulcan Mountain", "Thunder Mountain" and the square cabin hospital have been put into use. "But I don't know what to do, I can only sit idly by."
Recently, he felt that Hubei and Wuhan had a lot of ways to fight the "epidemic". In response to the many difficulties and shortage of manpower currently facing the management and control of more than 7,000 residential communities in Wuhan, we actively responded to the Volunteer Recruitment Notice issued by the Wuhan New Crown Pneumonia Prevention and Control Command on the 23rd.
"The community is my home, and prevention and control depend on everyone." He said that in the face of the raging virus, Wuhan people cannot stand by and everyone should be an anti-epidemic fighter. At the critical juncture of the epidemic prevention and control glue, if you relax a little, you will sacrifice your efforts. Only when everyone participates and guards against death will you win the victory as soon as possible.
"Look at our city flowers-plum blossoms are already blooming, can spring be far behind?" He pointed to a few plum trees in the yard before delivering vegetables to the building.
Chen Qiangsheng, a first-level investigator from the Propaganda Department of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee, introduced that after the volunteer recruitment order was issued on the 23rd, citizens registered very enthusiastically. As of 17:00 on the same day, the number of online and offline applicants exceeded 10,000.
On the 23rd, the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government jointly issued a "letter to all citizens", thanking 10 million citizens for staying at home or staying in the early stages to reduce going out; or measuring the temperature and reporting consciously every day; or actively asking for help and volunteering; or Selfless donations and devotion to support the "epidemic" operation. At the same time, it was pointed out that in order to completely cut off the source of infection and block the transmission route, the 24-hour closed management of the villages and villages will continue for a period of time. It is hoped that the citizens will take good protection and keep their homes. Copper wall iron wall. (Finish)
