Mr. Liu, 39, lives in Baoshan and usually works in sales. From 25 March, he found himself at home with a fever and was subsequently taken to the Expo Pavilion Hospital for isolation treatment on 28 March. At present, his body temperature has dropped, he is still under observation and treatment in the square cabin hospital, and since he has not yet met the discharge criteria, he still needs to spend some time there. On April 4, The Paper's reporter listened to him share his experience of illness and experience.
Here's what he had to say:
On March 25, I found myself at home with some fever, some sore muscles, especially the muscles on the abdomen and the left side of the neck, the whole person felt very tired, did not want to get out of bed, the waist could not stand up, the whole body even felt a little stinging, at that time I suspected that I was infected with the new crown virus, the first time I isolated myself, living separately from the elderly and children in the family. Family members also agree that the impact of virus transmission on the entire family is minimized through such isolation.
Then, on March 26, during the antigen self-test organized by the neighborhood committee, I was tested positive for the antigen.
On the morning of March 27, I heard from the neighborhood committee that the CDC would send a doctor to help me do a single nucleic acid test review. The review was very fast, and the result was produced on the same day, which was positive. Then at about 9:30 p.m., 120 ambulances came to my house to pick me up. At about 2:00 a.m. on the 28th, I came to the Square Cabin Hospital of the Expo Exhibition And Convention Center.
Ward Courtesy of respondents
When I first entered the Expo Exhibition Hall Cabin Hospital, there were not many patients, and when I woke up the next morning, I found that the beds in the entire ward were basically full.
With the passage of time, both medical staff and patients have become more and more familiar with the entire environment, and the medical team has greatly improved in the process of diagnosis and treatment services, logistics and other aspects. At each meal, we have a rich protein food, and there is fruit to eat later, as well as small snacks, and the whole atmosphere is a great improvement from when we first came in.
The busy figure of "Great White"
Now I have been treated here for many days, basically all the symptoms are gone, as long as you take the medication on time twice a day, but the nucleic acid test has not been completed, I do not meet the discharge criteria, and may have to be observed for a while before I can go out. I joined the volunteer team here to help "Big White" and other patients, to do what I can, and to share the pressure together.
I have seen some netizens joke that "now the patient is taking care of Dabai", but this is not the case. Because it is indeed a work that involves a large number of complex processes and requires close protection, time is tight and the task is heavy. The staff in the isolation point are all wearing "big white" clothes, whether it is cleaning or security guards, or medical staff, they are very busy, doing dirty work, tired work, hard work, but when they talk to us, they are very gentle and take care of us as patients.
Now, my lover is also isolated in the hotel, parents and children at home, because they don't want their children to have too much anxiety, we have talked less recently, but with my parents and lovers, there is still more interaction. Friends and colleagues are also very concerned about me, not only out of concern for myself, the fact that I have been diagnosed also makes them feel that the epidemic is not so far away from themselves, and after learning from me about the actual situation, they also said that they should strengthen their awareness of protection.
As an infected person, what I most want to express to the society is that the disease itself is not so terrible, everyone may have some fears, before we controlled the epidemic very well, everyone's life is also very at ease, once faced with changes in life, this fear and tension is inevitable, since this wave of the epidemic, the number of infected people is also relatively large, may also make many people feel uneasy, but as a witness, really into the cabin also know that the new crown is not so terrible, the treatment is not so terrible, both come and go, At present, the most important thing is to cooperate with treatment and strive for early discharge.
