The retrograde behind the scenes
Since December 2019, covid-19, caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-cov-2), has swept across China and spread to many countries around the world. However, there is such a group of people, they are not afraid of life and death, retrograde forward, they are not doctors, nor nurses, but they are also fighting bravely on the front line, they are a group of silent dedication, little known behind-the-scenes workers, they are based on their own duties, overcome difficulties, and bravely move forward to open up the second battlefield of the epidemic resistance, they are the laboratory staff who provide the basis for the diagnosis of new crown pneumonia.
Inspectors carry out sample cleanup work
It is understood that the First People's Hospital of Tianmen City, Hubei Province, has participated in the nucleic acid testing of the new coronavirus with a total of six comrades. There were six of them in the group, except for Zhou Junyang, everyone else had already started a family, and they overcame all kinds of difficulties and threw themselves into their work. Deputy Director Song Jiangqin has two sons, still young, but since joining the team, he has taken the initiative to ask for a day on the job, and so far he has not rested for a day. Every day, he was also the last person to leave the lab. In the first few days, the amount of testing was far from keeping up with the increase in the number of patients, and various problems would occur in the middle of the work, and it was The deputy director Song Jiangqin who took the lead in rushing to the front and actively coordinating, so that others had no worries.

Inspector Chen Meijun's youngest son is only seven months old and is still breastfeeding, and her husband is also treating patients on the front line of the infection ward, leaving two children to be cared for by the elderly in the family. Weak in body, she always rushed to the front of the work, and never did less because she was breastfeeding. Inspector Cao Weiwei went home on the first day of the New Year to get daily necessities, in order to avoid the risk of infection, he could only sneak a glance at his two young sons outside the window, simply told his family to pay attention to protection, turned around and was in tears. Inspectors Lu Wenjing and Connor stayed in the hotel arranged by the unit after participating in the nucleic acid testing work, although it is close to home, but there is a home that cannot be returned, and when thinking about children, they can only video chat and chat for comfort.
Zhou Junyang is a new employee in the inspection department, according to the schedule plan, originally after the night shift of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he could go home to reunite with his relatives on the first day of junior high school. However, in the afternoon of the thirtieth century, the superior urgently notified and requested that the nucleic acid testing of the 2019 new coronavirus be carried out immediately. Due to his busy work, he only returned home once in half a year on the job. He understood that once he participated in the nucleic acid testing work, it would be impossible to reunite with the family in the New Year. But he didn't hesitate in the slightest, because he knew that if he could test for more positive patients, he could prevent the spread of the virus one step earlier. He told his family that the unit still had some work to deal with, and he would not go back to the New Year this year, and in the face of his family's worries, he lied: "It's okay, there is no danger." "In fact, to do nucleic acid testing, it is necessary to directly contact the blood or body fluids of infected people, and the aerosols produced during the detection process are likely to be pathogenic, and the risk of occupational exposure is extremely high."
Chinese New Year's Eve, the wan family reunited, and the six of them adjusted the experimental layout, installed and debugged testing instruments, discussed the work process, prepared various experimental supplies under the guidance of Director Han Lirong, and got busy until midnight. Their initial workflows include environmental disinfection, reagent preparation, specimen cleaning, nucleic acid extraction, amplification detection, terminal disinfection, etc., with the highest risk of exposure in the core workspace (sample preparation room). Everything was difficult at first, on the first day of the New Year, they conducted the first batch of specimen testing, started work at eight o'clock, and returned to the quarantine hotel at one o'clock in the morning. When working during the day, wear thick protective clothing, wear goggles, n95, head covering, three layers inside and three outer layers. Because there is no positive pressure protective hood, protective clothing and no breathability to speak of, so when working, the goggles fogged, breathing is not smooth, seriously affecting the working state, the two people in the core area must remind each other, check each other, to ensure that the sample is correct. On the first day of work, because there is no walkie-talkie, indoor and outdoor communication is difficult, and information can only be exchanged through the original way of writing notes. After a day of work, I had a headache and dizziness, my clothes were soaked, and my body was sore and weak. Working in this situation, everyone did their best to persevere.
The face is always left with the imprint of a mask after each work
At present, the work of nucleic acid detection of the new coronavirus is on the right track. The smooth development of the work is inseparable from the hard work of Han Lirong, director of the Inspection Department. At the beginning of the work, there was a shortage of various protective equipment and reagents, and Director Han contacted all parties and tried all kinds of ways to prepare various materials for them in the shortest possible time. Director Han carefully inquires about the physical condition of the team members every day, arranges the work reasonably, and warms their hearts, so that they are full of fighting spirit.
In order to produce the second batch of test results earlier, they took the initiative to ask for overtime until late at night
At this moment, the epidemic situation is still grim, "regardless of pay, regardless of life or death", for this responsibility, the molecular team will stick to their posts and fight until the end of the epidemic. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Since ancient times, we have had people who have buried their heads in hard work, people who have worked hard, people who have asked for the people's lives, and people who have sacrificed their lives to seek the law -- this is the backbone of China." "Every medical worker who works silently is the backbone of today's China, and they are all heroes!" I believe that with the correct leadership of the Tianmen Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the joint efforts of all citizens, and the hard work of medical staff, Tianmen City will certainly be able to win the battle against the epidemic. May the covid-19 patients recover as soon as possible. May all frontline medical staff return safely, we will certainly be able to defeat the epidemic and pay tribute to all the workers who are fighting in the frontline!
We will definitely be able to defeat the epidemic!
