11 million people in Wuhan are involved in the novel coronavirus pneumonia whirlpool.
The epidemic that started in December last year, centered on Wuhan, spread to 28 provinces (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) including Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai. As of 8:30 on January 23, 574 people have been diagnosed in China and 17 people have died. Most of them have lived in Wuhan for a long time, or went to Wuhan to visit relatives, travel, or travel briefly.
The invisible virus, accompanied by the Spring Festival travel wave, "flows" until Wuhan "closes the city"-starting at 10 o'clock on January 23, Wuhan's bus, subway, ferry, and long-distance passenger transport operations will be suspended, and airports and railway stations will leave Han channels Temporarily closed. The government issued an announcement stating that citizens should not leave Wuhan without special reasons, and the recovery time will be announced separately.
is at the center of the pneumonia storm. Those who work and live in Wuhan, some rush to the "closing of the city", return to their hometown and become "unwelcome people" at home; some stay in Wuhan and dare not go out. Hope to survive the epidemic safely; some are suspected or confirmed to be infected with the virus, fight against impermanence, and pursue the hope of life.
On January 23, special police on duty outside Hankou Railway Station. The Paper Zheng Chaoyuan, Tang Qi, and Zhou Qi, a reporter from The Paper, pictured
on December 30, 2019, "a case of pneumonia was found"
, "you have a virus in southern China." On the last day of 2019, Li Yan received a WeChat message from a friend.
She and her husband opened a shop in Wuhan South China Seafood Market, doing fresh shellfish business. South China Seafood Market is located in Jianghan District of Wuhan, less than 1 km from Hankou Railway Station. It is composed of east and west areas, with more than 650 booths and more than 1,500 employees.
Li Yan’s store has been open for 18 years. It opens at 4 or 5 a.m. every day. After work is closed at 4 or 5 p.m., we will purchase more than a dozen kinds of fresh goods. They are transported by refrigerated logistics vehicles from Shandong, Jiangsu, Fujian and other places. Sold to restaurants or individual guests. The
business is slowly growing like a snowball. The two children have followed her since childhood, passing the net bag for fishing to play. The news of
pneumonia came suddenly, she couldn't tell the truth from the false, she just treated it as a rumor, and went to bed early as usual.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on January 1, she was weighing, packing fresh goods in the store, and talking to the purchasers. Suddenly, a group of government workers in blue uniforms swarmed into the market, set up plastic fences, blocked imports and exports, and then posted a closing announcement, asking merchants to close their shops and leave as soon as possible.
"What's the matter?" Li Yan was stunned, and looked at each other with other merchants. She took the cash and mobile phone, pulled down and locked the gate. Amidst the sound of the slamming doors, they followed the flow of people out of the market. The market is not allowed to stay for a long time, some merchants look at their shops reluctantly.
Li Yan returned home and decided to take a good night's sleep. "It's not a big deal to close the door, it will open again soon," she thought. Two days after
, she hadn't waited until the news of the market opening. She was disturbed. She and the merchants asked each other on WeChat every day, "When will the market open?", no one knew the answer.
Three days later, she went back to the store to get the bill and saw many law enforcement officers guarding the market. After registering the name and phone number, law enforcement officers followed her in to prevent her from taking away the damaged goods.
stayed in the store for three minutes and she came out. She saw the anti-epidemic personnel wearing white protective clothing pouring some rotten goods into plastic buckets and bags, and her mood was a little bit complicated-the goods were worth 90,000 yuan, and the loss was caused by retail investors who could not be recovered. After the
market was closed, she greeted and explained with the customers one by one, answering "Why are you closed, why not supply us", and the accounts that were not settled before will not be returned. After watching the news a few days after
, she slowly realized that the epidemic was a bit serious and comforted herself that "people are more important than goods".
The day before Li Yan learned about the news of pneumonia, on December 30, 2019, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issued the "Emergency Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Treatment of Pneumonia of Unexplained Causes", and the next day issued a notification stating that 27 cases of pneumonia had been found The cases are all related to the South China Seafood Market. Seven of them are in serious condition. So far, no obvious human-to-human transmission has been found in the investigation. He Lei, who lives at
, less than 4 kilometers away from the South China Seafood Market, immediately went to the pharmacy near his home to buy a surgical mask after seeing the news. After wearing it for two days, he didn’t wear it again. It’s not too high. I think it’s okay if I don’t go to the South China Seafood Market.” For more than half a month, he didn’t care too much., Visit Happy Valley.
University student Gao Liang also went to the South China Seafood Market on the afternoon of the 31st, and saw that the passage between the stalls was two meters wide, the ground was wet, and a lot of garbage was scattered around the trash can. Most of the merchants in the eastern district are still open. Some merchants are not aware of the pneumonia situation, and some have already put on masks.

“I feel that most people in Wuhan are in a state of not knowing or taking it seriously.” He thought it was not a big deal, so he didn't share science with his parents to remind them to be vigilant. Relatives also go out normally to buy new year goods. He told his sister not to take the child out to pick strawberries, but the sister answered vaguely and went out.
On January 21, 2020, "getting nervous day by day"
Li Yan really became nervous on January 19. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issued a notice stating that a total of 136 new coronavirus cases were confirmed on the 18th and 19th, with a total of 198 confirmed cases and 3 deaths in Wuhan.
On the 20th, academician Zhong Nanshan said in an interview with CCTV that there must be human-to-human transmission of the new coronavirus pneumonia. It is currently in the initial stage and medical staff are also infected. You need to be vigilant and do not go to Wuhan without special circumstances.
Immediately afterwards, confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia appeared in Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai and other places.
Li Yan hurriedly went to the pharmacy to buy masks and put them on both children; as a friend said, teach the children to gargle with salt water, wash their hands more, and keep warm. Walking on the road, she found that there were obviously more people wearing masks. When I went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, the cashier and myself greeted each other through a mask, "This time it was very serious."
"I am very worried that it will become like SARS, but we still have to pay attention." Wei Ting, a 29-year-old Xi'an girl who has lived in Wuhan for 8 years, has now settled in Wuhan and the company is near Optics Valley. Seeing that the number of pneumonia cases increased to more than 100, she felt that the matter had become serious.
In the year when SARS broke out, she was in the sixth grade. Because of a cold and cough, she was isolated to the last row by the teacher and was not allowed to contact other students. Later, the school was closed for one month.
She went to the pharmacy to buy masks and found out that they were out of stock. They bought them online, and they could only be delivered after a year. She could only take out the emergency belt she bought when she was sick. Some of her friends bought the masks on the take-out platform. The merchants said that there were too many masks and the riders had to go out to give the masks, so they had to go to the store to pick them up. Others who entrusted them to buy masks and mailed them.
"Everyone is quite panic." Wei Ting said that many friends and colleagues dare not go to the train station; some insist on buying the most expensive and useful masks and wear them at work; the company's HR informs everyone that if you have a cold, go back Work from home, don’t go to the company.
On January 21, all passengers traveling at Wuhan Station wore masks.
Wei Ting’s parents-in-law are in Anlu City, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Wuhan, and her father-in-law works at Anlu Railway Station. Wei Ting was very worried and called to remind her father-in-law to wear a mask, but the old man didn't take it seriously.
Xie Jie lives in Optics Valley and his company is in Dongxihu District. He used to take 20 to 30 subway stations to work every day. He started driving to the company last week. He was worried that he would be infected on the way to and from get off work, which would be passed on to his family and even have sequelae.
"Every day the office is discussing pneumonia, and watching the number of cases rise day by day, everyone feels a little panicked and becomes nervous day by day." Xie Jie said that starting on the 20th, the company disinfected the toilets and some departments issued masks. Some hairpins are blue roots. Someone sneezed or coughed, "I will stay away from him and dare not approach"; if the body is okay, I always feel like I have a problem with my throat, whether I have contracted it, "a bit collapsed psychologically".
He also ran to the drugstore to buy cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. Xie Jie heard that because of pneumonia, many companies in Wuhan have a holiday one or two days in advance; some state-owned enterprises also stipulate that employees cannot leave Wuhan, and those who have left must register.
not everyone perceives the crisis.
"The whole world knows that Wuhan is quarantined. Now only Wuhan doesn't know that Wuhan is quarantined." On the 20th, Liu Man's circle of friends was screened by this online joke. She feels that people in Wuhan are relatively calm, and people who are not in Wuhan are more concerned about the epidemic. Many students who work in other places asked her how the Wuhan epidemic was. A friend who works in Beijing refunded the ticket because the company said that he would report for the New Year when he returned to Wuhan and the time to return to Beijing to work was to be determined.
On the 21st train from Wuhan to Yichang, she saw many adults and children not wearing masks. There was a 5-year-old boy next to her. There was an extra mask in her bag, so she gave the boy one.
On January 22, "it is hard to find a bed in the hospital"
Zhang Jie still cannot understand how the virus "find" her husband and father.
Her home is about one kilometer away from the South China Seafood Market. Her husband often works at home. His father has retired and has never been to the South China Seafood Market. Only her mother occasionally goes there to buy vegetables.
In December last year, his two-year-old son had a fever. After three days of injections, the fever did not go away. After filming, he found that he had an infection in his lungs. He slowly improved after taking the medicine. While taking care of the child, she herself had a cold for two days.
On January 2, her husband suddenly developed a fever, which was over 38 degrees. At first they thought it was a cold, so they took various antibiotics and cold medicines, but they didn't get better. After that, I went to West China Hospital for 3 days of injections, and went to Wuhan University People's Hospital for check-ups. After taking antiviral drugs, the fever did not go away, but the condition worsened.
On January 7, the pathogen of this unexplained viral pneumonia case was preliminarily determined as a new type of coronavirus by the expert team.
The next day, Zhang Jie’s husband went to Tongji Hospital to take a CT scan. He was infected with both lungs, suspected of being a new type of coronavirus, and was immediately sent to Jinyintan Hospital for isolation. Two days ago, he was living in the suspected case ward, and the nurse called his family every day to inform him of his condition. After finding out that it was not the new coronavirus on the third day, he was transferred to the general ward.
Up to now, he still needs to take oxygen for 24 hours, and contact his family by phone. If he talks too much or the voice is loud, he will pant; when the situation is good, he can sleep for four to five hours a day. My sister will send some nutritional supplements to improve immunity to the hospital door every day, and the security will pass it to him.
Zhang Jie knows that this will be a long process.
's husband was sent to Jinyintan Hospital. Her father, who was nearly 70 years old, started to have a fever. He went to Xiehe Hospital for filming and found a lung infection. The doctor ruled out the coronavirus and asked to go home for medicine and observation.

. Two days later, the fever did not go away. They consulted experts at Tongji Hospital, who suggested hospitalization. When I went to Xiehe Hospital on the 10th, I was told that there was no bed and I was going home and waiting for news. After
, Zhang Jie's father went to Xinhua Hospital for a few days of injections, but it didn't work well; he went to Puren Hospital with an acquaintance, and after registration, he said that there was no bed, so he had to return to Xinhua Hospital to continue the injection.
"We found a lot of relationships and sent the inspection report to other hospitals, but in the end they said they couldn't accept it." Zhang Jie said that her father had severe pneumonia symptoms and could not be controlled. If it weren't for the new coronavirus, just fever and pneumonia, the hospital would not Admission. "Our only hope is that there is a medical institution that can treat people systematically and normally, and can't wait for people to have their organs fail before they are sent to the hospital for emergency treatment." On the night of
, on the evening of 21st, his father became more ill, had difficulty breathing, had white lips, and could not walk. road. His mother hurriedly dialed 120. After emergency personnel sent him to a fourth-level hospital near his home, the hospital said there were no beds. The mother requested to be sent to Xinhua Hospital, close to home. The first responders said that they must contact the hospital first, so that the hospital could receive a bed.
Zhang Jie felt terrified, "I found all the friends I could find, and I contacted many hospitals with acquaintances, but didn't send him in, so I had nowhere to go." On the same day, she posted on Weibo about her father's problem of seeing a doctor. The staff of Wuhan Health Commission contacted her and admitted her father to Hankou Hospital. She later learned that Wuhan had opened several hospitals to treat patients with pneumonia.
On the afternoon of the 21st, Peng Houpeng, deputy director of the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, responded to the problem of the difficulty in hospitalization of suspected cases at a press conference. He introduced that the current high incidence of influenza and new coronavirus infection in Wuhan coexist, and patients are admitted to hospitals. It has brought great difficulties. At present, according to the treatment plan jointly formulated by the state, province, and city, patients, resources, experts, and admission are concentrated. Three designated hospitals in Wuhan have set up 800 beds for admission of patients, and other directly affiliated medical institutions In order to cooperate with the treatment of patients, 1,200 beds will be vacated for patient treatment in the near future to ensure that patients receive timely treatment.
's mother told Zhang Jie that many pneumonia patients in Xinhua Hospital were inhaling oxygen and getting injections, and some were plugged into ventilators, and could not be hospitalized. One or two of the patients who received injections with his father every day had died.
"He could only receive one injection a day in the emergency department, but the next day he did not get well. This is not a complete system treatment." After admission, his father's blood saturation has been very low., Is still a severe state.
Since her husband had a fever, she dared not live at home because she was worried that her child might be infected with the virus. After his father had a fever on the 8th, he would wear a mask to eat breakfast every morning. When the
liquid was poured into the body, Huang Lan felt a little better.
The ward she was in was 80 square meters, and there were more than 100 patients undergoing infusion. Some had no seats and could only sit on the floor, and some were seriously ill. They needed to stand up for a skin test. very scary". The high fever of
38.8°C made her short of breath, weakened all over, and wanted to vomit. The doctor opened 4 slings-this was only found by the trust relationship.
On January 6, when he was hospitalized in the Changqing Garden District of Wuhan Fourth Hospital to adjust his blood pressure, Huang Lan was transferred to a patient with a new type of coronavirus pneumonia with a high fever from the bed next to Huang Lan. After staying for 2 days, he was complained by other patients, worried about infecting others And turn away.
Huang Lan’s family is in Dongxihu District. This month, she has not been to Hankou Railway Station, nor has she been exposed to wild animals. After being discharged from Wuhan Fourth Hospital on the 15th, she suffered from cold and low-grade fever. She took amoxicillin capsules and anti-inflammatory drugs in the lungs. Medicine, there is no relief. The daughter of
working in Beijing called to urge her to go to the hospital for an examination. She was afraid, worried that it was pneumonia and cross-infection, and there were too many patients in the hospital, so she wanted to stay a few days to see if she would get better.
Huang Lan's uncle also had symptoms of fever and pneumonia, and his blood oxygen dropped to more than 60 when he was at its lowest, and he was treated at the central hospital. On January 15th, the person was going to die, and he was transferred to Hankou Hospital for treatment. When his family arrived, the patient had died. On the second day of my uncle's death, my aunt also developed symptoms of pneumonia. The hospital had no beds. Cousin Huang Lan called the mayor's hotline before she was admitted to the central hospital. He was diagnosed on the 21st and was transferred to Hankou Hospital for treatment the next day.
When she thinks about this, Huang Lan feels cold.
On the evening of the 21st, she had a fever again and went to the Union Hospital to see a doctor. She found that "the whole hall is full of patients and there is no place to stay." The other outpatient clinics of the hospital were shut down, except for the emergency medical department. The beds were very tight. I only registered and told her that there were beds.
On the morning of the 22nd, after her husband took her to the Wuhan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for filming and blood oxygen examination, the doctor said that she had symptoms of new coronavirus pneumonia and asked to go to a designated hospital for treatment.

at 11 o'clock in the morning, they went to Union Hospital to wait in line. In the hall, the queuing lines formed a serpentine shape and turned several turns. The two of them sat on the ground under umbrellas, and sat for a while and stood for a while, but the line that had been in line for six and a half hours was not in line. Finally,
asked a friend to find a relationship, and only got a drip at Wuhan Red Cross Hospital at night. The two did not eat at noon, and only ate two bites of bread. In the evening, when her husband took advantage of her infusion, he had time to go out to eat a bowl of noodles. He also brought her a bowl, but she couldn't eat after two bites. On the day of
, her daughter called her no less than 20 calls, always asking, "Have you checked? Has it been diagnosed? Have you stayed in the hospital?" She originally planned to return to Wuhan for the New Year. After getting sick, Huang Lan told her not to come back. Although she and her husband shared a room for rest, the room and the dishes were disinfected, but she was still worried that her husband would be infected.
"Patients like us really need help very much. We will spread the infection even if we run around. Although we wear masks, people who come into contact with them may be infected." Huang Lan is still very weak, she doesn't know , Will there be any beds tomorrow, "I hope I can get regular isolation treatment."
But she also knew, "Now so many people are in need of treatment, what can be done?"
January 23, "closed city"
"My girl is coming back from Wuhan, do I need to be isolated?" January 20 That day, when Liu Man's mother went to Yichang Hospital to take her blood pressure, she asked the doctor specifically. Dr.
said: “You don’t need to be quarantined. Just take precautions and wash your hands frequently.” The company where
Liu Man was working was only on holiday on the evening of the 23rd. Due to the epidemic, the leader said that non-local employees can go home first and asked them to bring company computers. In case you can't come back in time after the year. So she hurried back to her hometown in Yichang before "closing the city." After
returned home, the first thing her mother said to her was: "Does the girl have to be disinfected?" She also insisted on taking her temperature every night and not going out.
She contacted her friends in her hometown and said that she had returned from Wuhan, and no one in the group responded to her, "Maybe I am worried that I will invite them to meet and eat, and it is easy to be infected.. She instantly felt that she had come back from Wuhan and "suddenly became unwelcome."
Xie Jie’s friends in Honghu’s hometown also joked with him: “You better not come back and don’t bring the virus back.”
Two weeks ago, his mother was helping her sister to take care of the children in Wuhan, and her grandson caught a cold. Sneezing, runny nose, body temperature slowly returned to normal after drinking the medicine. In those few days, she rarely went out, and she also wore a mask at home, taking her temperature on time. But I was still worried, saying "Wuhan is not safe, it is better to go home", and took the car back to Honghu hometown.
Xie Jie originally planned to take his parents to Wuhan for the New Year, but his mother hoped that he would return to Honghu to feel safer in his hometown. "There are also many people returning to Honghu from Wuhan, and they are less aware of prevention there, and they may be more likely to be infected." After a long time of entanglement, on the 22nd, the day before "closing the city", he and his wife returned to their hometown. In my hometown, the family dare not go out.
As early as January 14, Wuhan installed 35 infrared thermometers at airports, railway stations, long-distance bus stations, and passenger terminals, equipped with more than 300 handheld infrared thermometers, set up temperature detection points, inspection points, and strengthened departures. Body temperature detection of Han passengers.
Beginning on the 21st, Wuhan has strengthened control over personnel entering and exiting. Wuhan tourist teams will not organize groups to go out. The public security traffic control department will conduct random inspections of private vehicles entering and leaving Wuhan to check whether the trunk carries live poultry and wild animals. When
Gao Liang's mother returned to Ezhou from Wuhan for a wedding on the 20th, the staff measured her temperature at the passenger terminal to be 39.5 degrees and took it to the lounge. After 5 minutes, the body temperature dropped to 36 degrees before being released.
She calmly said in the family WeChat group, "It's okay, (the staff) gave me a mask". Sister Gao Liang quickly reposted an article in the group, "I beg you to have a snack on the new virus!" ".
Peng Ziyan also hurried back to Wuhan from Beijing before "closing the city." She works in an Internet company in Beijing. She heard that some Internet companies have issued notices that employees who are from Wuhan or Hubei transiting Wuhan can work on their own and be isolated for 7-15 days after returning home. There is nothing unusual before they can go to the company. "Our company should send it soon ( Notice)."
drifted north alone, she did not hesitate about going home. Most of the Hubei fellows she knows have returned home for the New Year. There is only one female leader and the child is only seven or eight years old. She has to go through Wuhan to go home. She decided to stay in Beijing because of the pneumonia epidemic. Before
returned to Wuhan, a colleague said to her and another Wuhan person: "Don't go back, you two, Wuhan pneumonia is quite serious." The two were a little confused and embarrassed.
She asked her brother whether the pneumonia epidemic at home was severe, and her brother said it was okay, and asked her to wear a mask on the train. After
arrived at Wuhan Station on the evening of the 20th, she found that almost all the people leaving the station wore masks, but almost none of the people who picked up the station. On the second day after
returned to Wuhan, she, her parents, younger brother and her two children went to the Baigang City Mall near home to buy Chinese New Year goods. Before
went out, she asked her parents to wear masks-her brother said that Wuhan masks were out of stock, so she took 20 home from Beijing. The parents didn't want to wear it at first, and felt that no one else was wearing it. After going out, many people started to wear it.
Along the way, she found that there were very few cars. After arriving at the mall, I was "stunned"-the amusement park on the B1 floor was empty, with no tourists, only two or three staff members were sorting things out. Before the Chinese New Year last year, she brought her nephew over to play, and the crowd was damp and crowded. Most of the cosmetics, daily necessities, and clothing stores on the first floor of
mall were empty, "extraordinarily depressed", and most of the staff wore masks. In the Carrefour supermarket on the second floor of
, almost all adults are adults, 70% wear masks, people pick goods quickly, and carts are full of things. At the checkout, one person in front of her bought 3 carts and spent more than 3,000 yuan; the other bought a cart and spent more than 1,000. "It feels like everyone is the same as we thought. It's not easy to come out. When you buy everything, hurry up and no one hangs out." After
came home from the supermarket, she felt a little pain in her throat, guessing it might be a cold. Shui, "I regret it, I shouldn't go out".
Beginning on January 21, many public events held during the Spring Festival in Wuhan have been cancelled. Guiyuan Temple, Wuhan Zoo and other scenic spots have been suspended. On the 22nd, Wuhan required citizens across the city to wear masks in public.
Peng Ziyan feels that the atmosphere at home is obviously tense, and the parents who have been "calm" before are beginning to worry about their feelingsDyed, it will be passed on to children. They wore masks and put their hands on their noses and went to the vegetable market, quickly buying back a week's vegetables.
After "closing the city" on the 23rd, the family decided to "decline all contacts" and stay at home. My father was frantically scanning the news, and my mother used "84" to disinfect and clean, and dragged it three times a day, thinking, "When there is no one in the middle of the night, then go down and take out the garbage." She was busy replying to greetings from colleagues, relatives and friends in Beijing.
"What should I do if I can't come back?" Wei Ting received a call from her mother early and urged her to take the bus back to her hometown in Xi'an.
Wei Ting originally planned to take her mother-in-law from Anlu's hometown to Wuhan for the New Year, and then return to Anlu together on the second day. After Wuhan was "closed", the community banned take-out food. She hurriedly placed orders on her mobile phone, buying eggs, tofu, potatoes and other vegetarian dishes. She prepared to stay at home, and then comforted herself, "It's fine if you can't get out, and you can play a long game!"
