A group of civil society people spontaneously organized to form a The operation, called the “Mask Run Program,” continued to provide medical supplies to surrounding counties and cities in Wuhan. So we contacted and interviewed them, hoping to tell everyone their true story. This article comes from public micro-channel number: Dr X (ID: doctorx666) , author: Annafenlin, from FIG title: FIG insects

On the tenth day of Wuhan ’s closure, an originally lively city became an isolated island in an instant, but the epidemic remained severe.

The problem now is that although the people are actively donating materials to Wuhan, there are many materials that fail to meet medical standards.

In addition, as a front-line city, Wuhan has received instant blood transfusions, but we cannot ignore that there are still many counties and cities around Wuhan that do not receive sufficient attention and receive immediate medical supplies.

1 More than one Wuhan in Hubei

Under the lens of different mainstream media, the situation of the surrounding counties and cities in Wuhan may surprise you.

The title of this article reported on Southern Weekend on January 31st is like this ⬇️

“Some hospitals in the surrounding area are really urgent, and there are also 120 emergency vehicles driving directly to pick up the goods.”

“Some small hospitals have more scarce supplies, and the situation in township health centers and community hospitals is even more serious. There are several small hospitals looking for us to borrow protective gear. I can’t really borrow them. Our own are very nervous.

This is still the case in the surrounding municipal hospitals, and the medical institutions in towns and villages are naturally more lacking in supplies

The township hospital under this report from Interface News not only lacks manpower, but also lacks medical supplies.

“Wear one day without drinking water, going to the toilet, or eating, afraid of waste.”

“Some of our doctors have used disposable foot covers as medical caps.

Therefore, there was a person named Lao T who organized a “mask run” activity in order to accurately deliver medical supplies to various surrounding counties.

2 I did not expect that it is so difficult to do public welfare

Old T, 30 this year, is a Chengdu curator and one of the organizers of the “Mask Run” program.

The “Mask Run” program is a group of more than 20 ordinary volunteersThe purpose of the public welfare plan is to continuously exchange the funds raised into materials and send them to the frontline medical staff in counties and cities around Wuhan as soon as possible.

Old T showed me a photo, and it gave me a thorough idea of ​​how difficult it is for medical staff in second-tier cities.

“In these neighboring cities that are not receiving much attention, all the medical staff, doctors, and nurses can use a mask for many days. Every protective clothing is regarded as a treasure and they are reluctant to take it off. It will pollute if you take it off, so many people do n’t eat or drink for a day. After work, they take off their protective clothing and sweat all over their body.

First-tier fighters in second-tier cities

In the beginning, a group of Old T collected 70,000 yuan of money, and held the money, but found that the hospital was not short of money at all, but medical supplies that could be immediately put into the battlefield. Looking around, Old T decided to directly Hospitals in surrounding counties and cities sent urgently needed supplies.

“It is too slow for them to buy the materials or the hospital buys them together, so it is better for us to act directly.”

However, the old T found that if he wanted to deliver materials, the first step was to buy materials, which stumped him.

“Where can I buy supplies? I don’t know; purchase standards, I don’t understand; the actual needs of the hospital are unclear.”

In the beginning, in order to understand the information and policies of buying materials, the old T group started to study at full capacity from the 30th year of the old year. The old T ’s girlfriend has a 10-hour jet lag in the United States. Change girlfriends and then study, work shifts 24 hours.

After understanding, I figured out some ways. Old T seemed to be a medical expert from a little ignorant.

“Rong Rong Junchen” in the picture, which is the “bacteriolytic layer”

With 70,000 yuan, in order to accurately transport supplies, the old T began to investigate the lack of medical supplies in different surrounding hospitals, made Excel tables, and marked the different hospitals with red highlight pens. Serious situation of lack of supplies.

Looking at a blood-red form, Old T was speechless. He didn’t expect the situation to be so severe.

This is the survey data of the old T group as of the 31st. The surrounding hospital supplies are extremely scarce and can only be reused.

In this form, there is a remarks column, which writes down the situation faced by different hospitals, but seeing the three words “can’t help” and three exclamation points in the remarks of a hospital, I am quite sad.

In order to immediately deliver supplies to these hospitals, the old T exhausted all his connections and bought 250 sets of medical protective clothing and 250 pairs of medicalAmong them, he also “exploited” one of his friends. One friend had 450 medical-grade masks in his house. Under the soft rubbing of old T, his friend sold him 400.

In the first stop, Lao T chose the Second People’s Hospital of Luotian County, Huanggang City.

Lao T contacted a 40-year-old sister, Zhao, to help drive the truck to transport supplies. After Wuhan closed the city, he wanted to transport medical supplies more smoothly. Lao T quickly contacted the hospital, stamped, and obtained a pass .

Even so, from Wuhan to Huanggang, it only took three hours to drive, but Sister Zhao drove for eight hours.

Along the way, Old T and Sister Zhao kept in touch, but they always heard Sister Zhao’s complaints. Many national and provincial roads have heavy checkpoints. They need to be interrogated. Directly blocked by soil.

In order to deliver the goods, Sister Zhao had to go around the road, round and round, and arrived at the hospital at 3 in the morning.

Driving into the hospital

Storage of goods

The doctor saw the truck from afar and trot along the door to greet the truck. He told Sister Zhao that this was the second batch of supplies received by the hospital since the outbreak.

The situation is critical. Their masks have been used up. The N95 is changed for a few days. After each day, it will be disinfected and continued to be used.

Old T told me:

“I don’t have a trace of comfort and pride, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to do public welfare this time.”

There is a shortage of supplies, road closures, and inventory checks. This is only the first level of difficulty. In the red Excel sheet of Old T, he only used a batch of supplies to help a hospital.

How to help the remaining 34 hospitals?

3 Africa buy masks, send them by car

Lao T thought, this kind of “hand-shop” donation method must not last.

First of all, as the epidemic situation in Hubei continues, medical supplies will inevitably become more scarce and expensive.

In addition, the old T added: “Some stars and big companies have more financial resources. They don’t care too much about the cost of buying medical supplies. They have a good heart, but they also raise the price in disguise.”

So, in order to buy cheap goods, in addition to continuing to use contacts to buy medical supplies in the surrounding areas of Wuhan, the old T’s mask running team contacted a businessman in an African country and bought a mask.

Old T doesn’t forget to say a word:

“Do n’t say the name of this country in the article, or there will be other big companies‘ raising prices and buying goods ’with us.”

With some fundraising from everyone, in order to get the supplies to the hospital quickly, the old T contacted Wuhanese Jenny and the “Weiguang Team”.

The low-light fleet, as the name suggests, is a group of ordinary citizens in Wuhan who consider themselves as low-light and have spontaneously united together under the epidemic. Jenny and the Twilight team were preparing supplies and protective clothing.

Most of the volunteer drivers are from all walks of life, from all kinds of people: there are particularly young students, and there are people who are already middle-aged and start their own businesses.

There are no trucks. They drove cars and vans and brought their own dry food. From dawn to early morning, they delivered the goods of a large truck directly to the doctors who fought on the front lines.

On January 30, with the help of Jenny and the Weiguang team, Old T used fundraising to successfully send the second batch of goods to more hospitals and deliver charcoal in the snow.

Many doctors trot along the way to meet the goods. They need these supplies too much.

After the medical staff got the medical supplies, you can feel the kindness of squinting and smiling through masks, like a little child who got candy.

This is just a group of people from the old T group. Part of the results of their “mask run” plan on January 30, they “curve to save the country”, go to Africa to buy goods, and use the small cars that usually carry children to and from school as trucks …

Old T gave me another form, which wrote all kinds of supplies in transit, and transportation plan.

I seem to be ableImagine that the supplies of volunteers are constantly flowing from various remote small countries and various local small donations, through the cars, old trucks, and vans of enthusiastic people such as Zhang Hongjun, Weiguang Team, and Sister Zhao. , Sent to the doctors with sweat all over their body …

On February 1st, the “Weiguang Team” has also been renamed the “Volunteer Team for Epidemic Prevention”. Perhaps they did not want to leave their names in this city, but the light still radiated from them.

Lao T and I are basically talking late at night, or early in the morning, because he is always busy, and the helpers of all walks of life need to communicate.

“The most uncomfortable thing is not to see the big evil, but to see the light in the dark, and this person crawled out of hell.”

The interview lasted for three days intermittently. In the early morning, the old T’s story finally came to an end and he finished it in a hurry.

Old T has a few mantras, “I’m sorry,” “I didn’t reply in time,” and “I don’t want too much personal color.”

In order not to let me highlight his “hero” image, the old T also deliberately shared with me a lot of glimmering stories.

4 “Let’s see some stories”

“Changde has a migrant worker named Hao Jin who works as a mask.The boss owed 20,000 yuan in salary and used medical masks to pay off debts. During the epidemic, the migrant worker donated 15,000 masks. “

“And this guy, send a mask to the police station, and hurry up after the delivery.”

“The police‘ ca n’t catch ’the guy and can only go out and pay salute.”

“A Sichuan female nurse applied for support in Wuhan and asked her why, and she said three, ‘One, I am very young, and he recovered faster than other teachers with pneumonia; two, I did n’t have a boyfriend Third, I am different from other nurses. I am from Wenchuan. ‘”

“There is a girl in our volunteer organization. At the beginning, I was working very hard to coordinate together. Suddenly, one day, we received a call from her crying, she said she might not be able to do it, she Boyfriend is a doctor in the field, and today he is infected in the intensive care unit.
