Chapter 1063 Gathering Strength
From Sun Lien's perspective, Yunhe's situation began to undergo a huge change.The main reason for this change he perceives is that more and more volunteers have participated in the fight against the epidemic.

All the sanitation and cleaning work before the Yunhe Infectious Disease Hospital and the work that should be in charge of the property department were all in charge of by the doctors and nurses in the hospital before the city was closed.After the medical team arrives, the work related to the ward they are responsible for also needs to be undertaken by doctors and nurses.

While wearing protective clothing to rescue and treat patients, doctors and nurses also need to help open water, feed food, dump bedpans, transfer domestic and medical waste, transport medicines and oxygen cylinders... all kinds of tedious tasks are extremely difficult. Greatly weakened the energy and physical strength of medical staff.

And now, the members of the medical team can finally be freed from these tasks - a large number of volunteers have come to Yunhe City Infectious Disease Hospital.

In the eyes of doctors, at this time, volunteers who dare to go out to assist in community epidemic prevention work are already "daring".And these volunteers who dared to wear protective clothing and do cleaning work in the red zone... To put it bluntly, Sun Lien even felt that they were ready to die.

Unlike doctors, most of the volunteers working in the red zone lack relevant knowledge and experience. Although their dressing process and results have also been carefully checked by the head nurses before entering the red zone, this still cannot be done in the red zone. Mentally solve their nervous emotional problems.There is actually a very simple trick to distinguish whether a person wearing industrial protective clothing is a medical worker or a volunteer.

Those whose walking posture looks particularly tense and stiff, and even walk with the same hands and feet, are definitely volunteers who have just entered the red zone.

They are tense and anxious.But I have to say that after these fresh blood entered the North Fifth Ward, the atmosphere in the entire ward became much more active.With the encouragement and help of the volunteers, some patients with mild illnesses started to get out of bed for activities. Patients with severe illnesses chatted with local young people, and their mood improved visibly.

And today is also an important day for the entire Yunhe City Infectious Disease Hospital. The 74-year-old Mr. Shen went offline today and began to breathe spontaneously.

There are not many difficulties in the operation of ECMO weaning itself.But when to wean the machine, and how to support patients after weaning, these are things that require many experts to think hard and weigh again and again.

Mr. Shen's two recent nucleic acid tests were all negative. In theory, he already has the conditions to be transferred or discharged.But although the theory is valid, Mr. Shen still has a long way to go before being discharged from the hospital. Although he is actively carrying out rehabilitation training, the old man's lung function is already weak.After being hit by the new coronavirus, it is even more difficult to recover.At the same time, more than a month of bed rest also brought him a series of problems such as deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities and muscle atrophy.Malnutrition due to lack of enteral nutrition intake is also slowing down the recovery progress of the elderly.

According to the judgment of the joint meeting of experts of the Song'an Provincial Medical Group, if Mr. Shen wants to be discharged from the hospital, he will have to stay in the North Fifth District for at least one month.At least three hours of rehabilitation exercises are required every day, and a large amount of protein and calories must be consumed for the body to repair.

But this is always a good thing. Mr. Shen is currently the only patient in Yunhe City Infectious Disease Hospital who has used ECMO and successfully weaned himself off.Before that, a total of three critically ill patients including Mr. Shen used ECMO, but the other two failed to improve due to the rapid deterioration of their condition.

As the No.1 critically ill novel coronavirus infection patient who successfully escaped from ECMO, Mr. Shen's inspiration to the entire medical system is self-evident.At least in the entire North Fifth District, the atmosphere today is as festive and lively as if it is a festival.

The volunteers who had just arrived in North Fifth District were also very happy to hear that Mr. Shen had successfully gone offline. The celebration measures they organized were more direct—one of the volunteers was originally a baker.She specially called her husband and asked him, who is also a baker, to make a large cream cake in the store and send it to the hospital.

Of course, Mr. Shen couldn't eat this cake, which was three cents bigger than a washbasin. Surrounded by everyone, he cut a knife into the cake, and then took a bite of the cream on top.The rest of the cakes were distributed to all the patients in the entire North Fifth District—in the words of the volunteer baker, this is to let everyone enjoy the joy of Mr. Shen's victory over the disease, and wish everyone a speedy recovery recover.

The second news was not so good. On the morning of February 2st, all the beds in Yunhe Infectious Disease Hospital and He'an Hospital were full.

Yunhe Infectious Disease Hospital has had six patients in the past two days, but this speed of recovery is still insignificant compared with the total number of 680 beds open to treat patients infected with the new coronavirus.

The situation in He'an Hospital is even worse. They have a total of 319 open beds, and they have all been filled.According to Dean Liu's reaction, Mr. Shen's wife was the last confirmed patient they received.

At present, among the confirmed patients diagnosed by the fever clinic of He'an Hospital alone, at least 30 are still waiting to be hospitalized.

The problem now is so straightforward-the hospital has no beds and no ability to admit more confirmed patients.Although their symptoms are milder, they are still an active source of infection.If these confirmed patients are not admitted to the hospital and their social activities are blocked, the transmission will be inevitable and will continue.

In fact, there is not much that doctors can do about it. Apart from trying to take good care of every patient, among the many things they can do, the only way to increase the capacity of treatment is to quickly treat other wards with the help of volunteers. Make a transformation.Although the volunteers cannot serve as construction workers and equipment installers, they can at least help test whether other household appliances work well—just like Sun Lien tested electric heaters in North Six District before.

The South Fifth District is undergoing rapid transformation, and the transformation of this area is more difficult than the previous separate transformation of the North Fifth District. After the transformation, the North Fifth District and the South Fifth District will be merged into one large ward, and all of them will be managed by Song An Province. The medical team is in charge.Therefore, the entire green zone and yellow zone need to be redesigned and arranged—at least not as before, where one side is completely released as a green zone.

Everyone in the medical team is doing their best to operate, and the rest... can only be handed over to other people.

In modern society, there are no lone heroes who can conquer the world.During this period, there is only one thing that people can do - complete their own work and create conditions for other components of the "state" machine to operate and do their work well.

To overcome the sudden and fierce epidemic, we can never rely on the sacrifice and awareness of only one or two people.Only when everyone understands their place and gets the job done, can we win.

Fighting against the epidemic is a war without smoke.On this battlefield, medical staff wearing protective clothing, the People's Liberation Army who came to support Yunhe, public health personnel rushing around, scientists and researchers, logistics transfer drivers, workers producing anti-epidemic materials, government employees, police, volunteers, Courier boys, chefs, hotel waiters...even all ordinary people who follow the call of the country and stay at home to reduce going out.

All men are warriors, and every man is an essential cog.

To defeat the epidemic, we need all the strength.
