Jan 23
From 10 am on Jan 23, Wuhan was on lockdown due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus. The Wuhan Hankou Hospital, where I work, is listed as one of the city's designated hospitals for dealing with the epidemic. It specializes in treating patients with respiratory symptoms with fever, and patients from other wards have been transferred to other hospitals.
A portion of our hospital staff is assigned to package meals for front line medical staff and patients (free meals for patients). I changed into protective clothing and entered the clinic and the ward fully prepared, taking advantage of meal delivery opportunities, and taking pictures of the fight against the epidemic on my mobile phone.
It was already after 6 pm, and the patients still crowded the outpatient's hall. Medical staff could not attend meals, but instead work calmly among intensive care patients, triage patients, answer consultations, and soothe anxiety.
