The door took a 5-year-old boy with a fever to the hospital, but it turned out that 15 people in the village house were infected with the virus. The boy's father did not want to increase the medical pressure, so he only sent his son, whose condition worsened, to the hospital. There was a 5-year-old daughter who gave birth to a 5-year-old daughter. "As a parent, I feel sad that a girl can't receive treatment. I feel so touched and try my best to take her to see a doctor." He finally took the two children away for treatment, but We lament that medical resources are limited, and we regret that we cannot send all patients in need to the hospital at the same time.
