Our reporter (reporter Li zewei) “this morning, I saw the epidemic notification in Beijing, and dozens of infected people were added. Now it has accumulated to more than 800”. Mr. Zhang, who learned that he was at risk of infection and did not enter the community, insisted on waiting for the transfer in his car. Mr. Zhang, who was being isolated at the centralized isolation point, was discharged from the hospital on May 10. Yesterday, he and Lian Mai, a reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, read the relevant reports of the epidemic every day, “Seeing the current epidemic situation, I feel that my choice was correct and reasonable.”.
Mr. Zhang is engaged in interior design and lives in guanhuayuan community, Beiqijia Town, Changping District. When he learned that he had a high risk of infection, he paid close attention to contacting the disease control and public security departments, and also reported to the community. He drove back to the door of the community according to the requirements of the disease control department and stayed in the car until he was transferred. The textbook operation benefited the whole community and was publicly praised by the municipal disease control department. He was called “China’s good neighbor” by netizens.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Zhang was isolated at a centralized isolation point in Xiaotangshan. The day before yesterday, he had just finished half a month of treatment and was discharged smoothly. Recalling the treatment process, Mr. Zhang said it was very smooth. “When he was just hospitalized, he checked various indicators to determine the symptoms”. He was young and strong, and had no basic diseases. His condition soon stabilized, “mainly drug treatment”. During hospitalization, the daily life is very regular. Nucleic acid test is done at 6 a.m., medicine is taken at 7 a.m. and breakfast is eaten at 8 a.m. “move freely in the morning, walk around properly in the house, and sleep when you are tired”.
After discharge, he needs to continue isolation. Considering the impact on his roommates and the whole community, Mr. Zhang chose to focus on isolation points to “minimize the impact on others”.
The sudden illness freed Mr. Zhang from his usual busy work, but his communication with people was not less or even more than before. “I received a lot of calls, and many friends knew about me, including those in the community and strangers, and received all kinds of care every day.”.
During Mr. Zhang’s hospitalization, the epidemic situation in Beijing has become severe, and the newly infected people have been at a high platform for many days. He is very concerned about the epidemic situation and reads relevant news every day. “I am 218 infected people, and now more than 800 infected people have been reported. It can be seen that after me, the growth rate these days”. He also pays attention to all kinds of news about epidemic prevention. He will be indignant at the behavior of concealing the risk of virus transmission caused by the trip, “which will cause trouble to the society”.
Seeing the current epidemic situation, Mr. Zhang felt that “he felt more that his choice and response were correct at that time. Imagine how many people would be affected if he entered the community and contacted other people and passed from person to person? Instead of entering the community, he reported and transferred as soon as possible, cut off the possible transmission chain, and ended it here without affecting more people”.
Wang Songlin, Secretary of guanhuayuan community, told the Beijing Youth Daily yesterday that they were ready for Mr. Zhang to go home. “Handicrafts, banners, flowers and certificates are ready. Due to the epidemic, a simple ceremony will be held to welcome him home”.
