At present, the prevention and control of the epidemic in Xi'an is in a critical period, in addition to paying close attention to the inflection point of the epidemic, how to guarantee the basic livelihood of residents and whether the materials are sufficient are also hot topics.
In the "epidemic" examination that cannot be prevented, it is not easy to do a good job in providing material support for megacities with a permanent population of more than 10 million and a total economic volume of more than 1 trillion.
Fanxiang Finance (ID: nbdfxcj) interviewed a staff member who is devoting himself to the frontline of material support, hoping to restore the real situation of material supply and distribution in Xi'an as objectively as possible from a rational perspective and with his personal experience and feelings, as well as to explain why the material security in some areas lags at the critical juncture of the epidemic.

From 00:00 on December 23, Xi'an entered the closed management, I was vaguely aware of the seriousness of the epidemic, according to the plan, I was going to play in Cuihua Mountain on New Year's Day, after the epidemic came, I did not dare to go, nor could I go, so I bought a lot of snacks to eat and drink at home, and my life was comfortable.
On January 2, I received a call from the unit asking whether the community where I live is a sealed area and whether the security personnel can return to work with a certificate. In fact, before that, I could see the work logs of the people in the community and the village in the work group every day, which was really hard.
Without hesitation, I rushed back to work from home that afternoon, the road was empty, and on the way, there were even magpies parked directly in the middle of the road, and at that moment, I felt the huge transformation of the city from bustle to silence.
According to the work arrangement, I was assigned to work in the material group, responsible for the transfer of materials in more than 40 communities in the jurisdiction. It was when I arrived at the supply group that I truly realized the hardships behind the epidemic.

Material transfer, as the name suggests, is to send the materials received from the superior to the communities accurately, orderly and efficiently. It seems to be only a "second-hand" work, but after the outbreak of the epidemic, protective clothing, isolation gowns, surgical gloves, medical masks, test tubes, cotton swabs and a large number of materials that are not usually understood at all, at this time, it is necessary to quickly learn relevant knowledge in order to carry out "package" delivery.
Especially in the sealing and control area, garbage bags, plastic wrap, rolls of paper, vegetables from households in need donated by the society, and even pots and pans and pans and other "small materials" must also be "everything". It's bits and pieces, but it's tied to everyone's hopes during this difficult time.
As a position in the epidemic prevention and control campaign, the material transfer work must closely grasp the rhythm of life of epidemic prevention work. No matter how late, the front-line personnel in the community enter the warehouse, and they must have a "material package" that has been matched, so as to meet the various needs of the front line in time.
A 20-hour warehouse will be staffed with 10-12 employees, and the work of employees is precisely cut into three time periods, each with 8 hours. Morning shift 7:00-15:00, afternoon shift 15:00-22:00, night shift 22:00-3:00 the next day, personnel in batches of rotation service. Most of the time, if there is a large flow of people and a shortage of manpower, volunteers will be arranged to work continuously for 12 hours from 7 pm to 7 pm the next day.

Why is it such a high-intensity work? Very simple, the materials come, to load the goods, the community personnel come, to pick up the goods, the materials and the community personnel come together, that is, the belt to take, because the types of materials are particularly complex, the scene trolley, the cattle everywhere, the take list, the inventory list is flying all over the sky, people and people 2 meters apart can not hear what the other party says. In this case, the average person works for 4 hours and will be dizzy.
Specifically, the workflow of the day looks like this:
At 7:55 a.m., the ordering staff arrived early, put on their overalls, put on disposable hats and gloves and went into the inventory area to count the goods and prepare to meet the first wave of communities to pick up the goods.
For example, at about 9:30 in the morning, community workers came to pick up supplies — 120 isolation suits, 50 protective suits, 40 face screens, 2,000 test tubes, and 334 cotton swabs. This requires the pickup personnel to pick up the goods according to the demand, the non-integer also has to break the number of boxes, once there is a peak queue to pick up the goods, the workload will skyrocket instantly. After all, the material is not easy to come by, and the front-line personnel are not easy to work, so the shipping principle is that one more is not done, and one less is not OK.
Fortunately, the peak period of inventory pickup came quickly and dispersed quickly, the crowd dispersed in a rush, and the noisy warehouse was calm again in an instant. Between 12:00 and 16:00, it is often a quiet period of crowds, and we need to take advantage of this point to complete the work of counting, sorting out and stacking, and replenishing urgent materials.
From 16:00 to 00:00, the second wave of pick-up peak arrived, and people who came in with fish crowded into the warehouse, even if it was a meal, had to take turns or even postpone the meal. Because the warehouse has vegetables and cannot be heated, the meal will become cold in less than 5 minutes.

Some workers often cook a bowl of instant noodles and squat on top of the isolation suit box to eat, and as soon as the community arrives, they can quickly stand up, put on masks and hats again, and distribute supplies. Actually, there are tables dedicated to eating, but no one will say anything about him because everyone is too busy.
The more than 40 communities we are responsible for have different situations, different numbers, and the time for picking up the goods cannot be fixed, so even if they are matched in advance, they must wait for them all to pull away to finish the day's work, and this wait, it is 22 o'clock at night.
If the pick-up staff is still on the road after 22 o'clock, or needs to wait, then the third shift of "continuation" staff will take over the post and continue to operate for 5 hours in the second half of the night.
Until eight o'clock in the morning of the new day, dawn broke through the darkness, and the warehouse door began to clamor again. The early shift of the material team came from home, put on overalls, entered the warehouse gate, as if yesterday's exhaustion had not happened, looking at the black and black pressure of the "material mountain", before returning to God, someone behind them would push open the door and ask, "Is there anyone, I am xx community, to receive supplies." ”
"Okay, I'll give you a match right away, please wait."

Recently, many netizens have talked about the lag in Xi'an's material support and other issues, here, I use my own actual experience to explain one or two.
Regarding the timeliness of the distribution of medical supplies, the area of sealing and control areas is changing every day, and the number of nucleic acids will also change, as a material supplier, it is impossible to predict or explore the quantity law in advance, coupled with the hard-won materials, in order to avoid waste, only "after-the-fact supply", the advantages and disadvantages of this supply method are obvious, but at present, this way can indeed be regarded as the optimal solution.
In terms of the diversity of material types, in modern society, people's living standards are rising, and individual needs are emerging in an endless stream; coupled with the extremely contagious Delta virus of this epidemic, the types of medical supplies needed by frontline personnel have increased significantly compared with before. These two "increases" are cumulative, the workload and distribution range are almost immeasurable, and under the extremely tight number of personnel, the delivery error rate will inevitably increase, and the efficiency of work will also be visibly reduced. Therefore, we can only ensure that the basic materials are not wrong and that this "hard battle" is won first.
I was more impressed that once a gray-haired community worker came to the warehouse to pick up supplies, during which he sat outside the warehouse for a long time, and did not leave quickly after collecting the supplies. Some of the staff of the material group noticed that his face was abnormally red, and during the rest, his whole head fell down, worried that he was tired, and worried about missing the distribution of first-line supplies, so he went forward to wake him up, but he said, "I didn't close my eyes for three consecutive nights, let me rest a little more, you see my hair is white, in fact, I am only 37 years old..."
In fact, this is also the norm for all the people in the material support group, busy day and night. And unlike the day shift, the night shift personnel are doing "hard work", you need to check and process all the goods one by one before the next morning; there will be material delivery in the middle of the night, when the delivery of the logistics truck arrives at the door on time, and need to be busy ordering goods, handling, on the shelves, at least two hours; after the end, you also need to clean, boil water, etc., everyone quipped, "Just when in the fitness, busy basically no energy."
It is also personally experienced in the complete process of material distribution, I can more deeply feel the complexity of the frontline anti-epidemic work, experience the hardships and difficulties, in the case of extremely tense staff, Xi'an tens of millions of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if it is only the basic guarantee, it is inevitable that there will be a lag, or a little deficiency. I just hope that the public can understand and tolerate the material support work a little more, after all, it is someone who is carrying the weight for us.
