Today is February 23, the first day of February in the lunar calendar. The Chinese New Year's Eve, which has just passed, is spent in the national epidemic. The special Chinese New Year is destined to become a memory of the times.
At present, in the national war situation, the spread of the epidemic has been initially contained, but the inflection point has not yet arrived. Hubei and Wuhan at the "storm center" are still complex and severe. The situation is getting better, but the battle is still urgent.
One day, everything changed in life
At 2 a.m. on January 23, the Wuhan Municipal Government announced that it would close the Li-Han corridor from 10 a.m. on the same day. On this day, there are only two days left before the Chinese Lunar New Year. Wuhan, which is a "nine provinces thoroughfare", quickly reduced the passenger flow to the highest peak of the Spring Festival before the festival within a few hours.
From that day on, everything changed in people's lives. It was a difficult choice to “close” a regional center city with a population of 10 million. However, at the time, the epidemic situation was already critical in Wuhan and Hubei.
On the eve of the closure of Wuhan ’s Li-Han corridor, a total of 571 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia nationwide, involving more than 20 provinces across the country, of which Hubei accounted for more than 80%, and 17 deaths had occurred in Wuhan at that time.
The epidemic was caught off guard. From January 23, Hubei's confirmed cases took more than 500 to 10,000 cases in 11 days, and it took only 4 days from 10,000 to 20,000 cases. After that, the number of cases was increased by 10,000 for 4 days. Outbreak.
Behind the figures are the urgency of human life, the surge in the material gap, and the intensification of social panic. It can be said that the "defense battle" between Wuhan and Hubei began with "encounter battle".
A passive start requires decisive measures. Since the closure of the Li-Han corridor in Wuhan, "closed city" has become a key word in Chinese public opinion.
From January 23 to 28, in one week, 13 cities and prefectures in Hubei successively closed the city. Since then, Hubei has also demanded closed management of residential districts in the province. Some areas have introduced measures to "close households", and some districts and counties have announced "wartime control."
A province with a population of 61 million has largely prevented the spread of the virus caused by the movement of people. However, this "closed city battle" was fought too hard.
As of February 22, Hubei has accumulated 64,084 confirmed cases, 15299 cases were cured and discharged, and 2346 patients died. When each number was projected to an individual family, it was a real sadness and joy.
2 "The place with the most doctors and masks in the world"
"The place with the highest density of doctors and masks in the world." Some netizens described Wuhan now.
There is no specific statistical support for this sentence, but since the outbreak, among the retrograde Wuhan team, the most must be medical staff and medical supplies.
In this "defense battle", the horses and horses have been the key to controlling the war situation from the beginning.
On January 24, the day after the closure of the Han-Liang corridor, Wuhan issued an announcement to purchase medical protective materials for the whole country, but at that time the epidemic had spread to more than 20 provinces, Wuhan was not enough, and the country was in short supply.
As a result, doctors wore urine and worked wet, citizens posted posts on the Internet, and the city government's official website posted the "SOS" logo. Hubei Red would encounter torrential public opinion.
The "defense war" started with the "dispatch war", and a nationwide support was launched urgently.
On January 24, the National Health and Medical Commission sent the first batch of medical teams from Shanghai and Guangdong to Wuhan. On the same day, the PLA also sent 3 medical teams to reach Wuhan. On February 10, 19 provincial medical teams went to their counterparts in Hubei. Supported 16 cities. By February 19, 32,395 medical personnel nationwide were assisted in Hubei.
At the same time, engineering teams from across the country completed the Vulcan Mountain Hospital in 10 days and the Raytheon Mountain Hospital in two weeks. By February 20, 30,000 fixed-point hospital beds in Wuhan have been fully implemented in specific hospitals, and 25,000 beds in square cabin hospitals have been built.
What is the scale of the "dispatch war"? Some comparisons can be intuitively felt. For example, the scale and speed of medical staff's support exceeded that of the Wenchuan Earthquake. Another example is that the number of N95 masks and protective clothing supplied to Hubei by one day on February 19 was twice the national production capacity.
Similarly, behind the numbers are the faces of real laborers, doctors who are tightly wrapped in protective clothing, builders who work day and night in a hurry, and workshop workers who urgently return to work to provide security ...
The news on March 13th, the less words, the bigger things
Since the outbreak, many people have intuitively divided the battle between Hubei and Wuhan into two stages. Before and after the change, the personnel changes in Hubei have become important coordinates for observing the epidemic.
On the morning of February 13, "14,840 new cases were confirmed in Hubei, and 13,436 were newly added in Wuhan." Many people opened this epidemic news at the wrong point.
In order to "not miss one person", Hubei began to include clinically diagnosed cases in statistics. It is difficult to imagine that the situation in Wuhan and Hubei is so severe.
A few hours later, two one-sentence news began to swipe the screen again: Ying Yong served as Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, and Wang Zhonglin served as Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee.
Chinese netizens who are accustomed to "the fewer the words, the bigger the matter." In reposting comments, they looked forward to changing the opportunity to turn the war. After all, from the director of the Huanggang Health and Health Committee to "ask three questions," to the central steering group interviewing and rebuking Wuhan officials, since the outbreak of the epidemic, the commanding ability of Hubei has been questioned.
Before Ying Yong and Wang Zhonglin came to office, the command system of the Hubei War Bureau had been adjusted. Wang Hesheng was also the deputy director of the National Health Commission and the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial Committee, and also served as the deputy leader of the Central Steering Committee of the Hubei Province. Go to Wuhan to supervise the battle.
After the change, public opinion is paying attention to the changes in Hubei's "play": requires the bottom figure, the data is true, requires sufficient ammunition, transparent distribution, requires the gate to move forward, builds an extra bed in the hospital, requires strict community closure, and pulls the net to investigate. Cadres sinking, with clear rewards and punishments ...
Change is indeed happening. The media once reported a scene on the streets of Wuhan on February 18: A resident in Wuhan's Jiang'an District saw a long queue in the supermarket under the window and rushed to call to report. Soon, the dragon disappeared and a notice was posted on the supermarket door. Above: Starting from February 19, major and medium-sized food supermarkets and convenience supermarkets only carry out group purchase and distribution of materials for communities and enterprises.
People welcome such decisiveness, and look forward to the effect of the Thunder means, as soon as possible, reflected in the number of outbreaks.
Not far from being optimistic
On February 21, at the press conference of the State Council, Zeng Yixin, the deputy director of the National Health and Health Commission, listed the "four drops and one liter" of the national epidemic situation. Here are two that involve Hubei:
Except Wuhan, other cities in Hubei have daily new confirmed cases, from 1404 on February 12, the highest peak, to less than 400 on the 20th; Wuhan's daily new confirmed cases from the peak of February 13, 3910, It dropped to less than 400 cases on the 20th.
The situation is getting better, but far from being optimistic. Earlier, the Central Steering Group had asked for "initiating a comprehensive offensive." For Hubei and Wuhan, the total offensive was still a fierce battle and could not afford a single clue.
Also on February 21, at the Hubei epidemic prevention and control meeting, the new Hubei Provincial Party Secretary Ying Yong listed a series of difficulties: the patient base is still large, and the treatment task is very difficult; screening and screening and flow adjustment work are weak In the link, the base number of people with hidden infections has not yet been figured out, and the good foundation is not stable.
Find out the bottom line, the battle of relations can shift from positional battle to annihilation war as soon as possible. In the words of Wang Zhonglin, the new secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee: "You can't fight this epidemic without knowing the numbers."
On February 17, a three-day investigation was started in Wuhan, and Wang Zhonglin said ruthlessly: If another confirmed patient is found at home, the secretary of the district committee and the district head must be held accountable.
At the meeting on the 21st, Ying Yong also asked cadres to abandon any selfish thoughts, insist on seeking truth from facts, tell the truth, report the truth, and do practical things.
On the same day, the Hubei Provincial Health and Medical Commission revised the number of newly confirmed cases across the province on the 19th and 20th. The vice governor of Hubei stated that epidemic statistics do not allow the reduction of confirmed cases. The relevant responsible persons must check the facts and take serious accountability .
Recently, in the news from Hubei, people have seen more warm elements. For example, Wuhan made it clear that medical staff in Han Dynasty had at least two days off after every 10 days of work; for example, the photo of 73-year-old Academician Li Lanjuan with indentation on his face and a smile; for example, the youngest infected person, The 17-day-old baby girl smiled and was discharged.
Out of the first month, the cold spring is expected, and the battle continues.
