This is Wuhan, China, a beautiful city with a permanent population of 11 million.
This winter, she is engaged in a tragic and tenacious urban defense battle, and the enemy is the new crown virus.
On January 23, a total of 495 cases of infection were confirmed in Wuhan, including many local medical staff. In order to prevent the virus from spreading further, this megacity with a population 1.3 times that of New York City has declared "closed."
From this day, the unprecedented rescue of Wuhan began.
On the second day of "City Closing", the first medical teams arrived in Wuhan on New Year's Eve; on this day, the company was ordered to build an infectious disease hospital with 1,000 beds within 10 days. Later, it was decided to build a second one.
On January 25, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee convened a meeting and determined to win the fight against epidemic prevention and control.
The epidemic is spreading. On February 2, there were more than 5,000 confirmed cases in Wuhan. Wuhan is in a hurry! The next day, three square-cabin hospitals were built overnight.
The epidemic continues to spread. From February 7th, the central government decided to let 19 provinces and cities organize medical teams to assist the cities and regions around Wuhan.
More and more medical personnel came from all over the country. On the most day, Wuhan Airport welcomed nearly 6,000 angels in white.
However, the epidemic is still raging. On February 11, a total of nearly 20,000 confirmed cases were diagnosed in Wuhan.
Two days later, the Chinese Air Force urgently dispatched a strategic transport aircraft group, including Yun-20, to air transport 1,400 military medical personnel to Wuhan at one time. The PLA went all out to rescue Wuhan.
Angels in white are racing against the virus. More than 1,500 medical staff have been infected, and some have given their precious lives. They lack protective clothing, they lack masks, they lack medical supplies.
The potential of Made in China has been stimulated, and even automobile factories and mobile phone factories have begun to produce masks. The production capacity of masks has rapidly increased from 8 million per day in January to an amazing 50 million per day. All kinds of material resources are constantly transported to Wuhan.
By February 23, within one month, the country had sent more than 330 medical teams to Hubei with more than 4,1600 medical staff. Two infectious disease hospitals had been established in Wuhan, and more than 40 designated treatment hospitals had been renovated. The cabin hospital was put into use, with more than 40,000 treatment beds, and more than 70,000 isolation beds were also prepared, which basically realized the receipt of confirmed patients and suspected patients.
Finally, with the help of China, the number of new cases in Wuhan has begun to decline, and the city has seen the dawn.
The Director-General of the WHO, Dr. Tan Desai, gave a fair evaluation of China's hard work: China has taken time for the entire world, even if it has cost China a huge price.
This is a special battle "epidemic", a struggle between all mankind and a new virus. Defending Wuhan means defending China and defending the world.
"Success is never given to success without victory!"
