On January 17, I went home from Hankou on G6825. Under the train is the Han-Ten High Speed Rail, which opened to traffic at the end of November last year. It connects Wuhan, Xiaogan, Suizhou, Xiangyang and Shiyan with a population of nearly 30 million along the line. ) . At that time, the carriage was full of passengers and arrived at Gucheng North Station on time.
On December 29th, January 5th, and 17th, I stopped at Hankou Railway Station three times. The new coronavirus discovery site was located 750 meters outside the station— —South China Seafood Wholesale Market. On three trips, I didn’t hear anyone talking about new pneumonia. At the time, passengers at the train station and trains did not wear masks. Everything is not like what they are today.

On Saturday 18th, the streets of Gucheng were still bustling. County residents and people from townships and villages were busy buying New Year’s products, and the shops with Chinese knots were cheerful.
Coronavirus really affects people’s lives around January 20th.
“Sunday (January 19) It was a very busy day with more than a hundred People were undergoing physical examinations with me. About half of the people who underwent physical examinations the next day began to wear various masks. Most of the people who came for medical examinations in the next few days wore them. The mother working at the Physical Examination Office of the Vehicle Administration told me. Her main job duties are to perform medical examinations for drivers who come to get a driving license or to change the driver’s license, and to contact the people from Gucheng County and various townships.
After the epidemic expanded, many people have made relevant protective preparations, the most obvious of which is the purchase of masks. On the afternoon of the 21st, I went to the pharmacy. It can be seen on the road that many young and middle-aged people have already put on masks, but the elderly and the children they lead rarely take protective measures.
