The closure and control of Shanghai's division of rivers in batches has been going on for several days, allowing the world to understand and observe: what will happen if a city like Shanghai, China's largest city with a population of 25 million, adopts semi-closed or closed city measures ?
Will Shanghai's response and governance be much better than when other cities were closed, as many expected earlier?
I still remember when there were many chaos and tragedies when Xi'an was closed earlier, many people compared Xi'an with Shanghai, not only to spur Xi'an to improve its shortcomings in a timely manner, but also to reflect people's confidence, recognition and expectations for Shanghai's governance.
The reason behind this is that Shanghai is the economic center of China, the big brother of the eastern coastal city that was the first in its ethos and relatively advanced in governance modernization. It has a Shanghai-style culture formed by the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, and its collective consciousness and rights consciousness complement each other. Because of the professionalism, science, refinement, humanity and flexibility shown by the "catch mice in ceramic shops" epidemic prevention model advocated by Shanghai in the past two years, it has won the recognition of many people.
Because of this, when Shanghai decides to take measures close to the semi-closed city, people will have more good expectations and hope that Shanghai can do better.
On the evening of March 27, when Shanghai decided to implement the blockade and control in batches from 5:00 the next day, with the Huangpu River as the boundary, there were three points that were different from the blockade and control of some earlier cities: the blockade and control were implemented in batches instead of directly closing the city; All enterprises in the closed area are allowed to implement closed production or work from home; it is stipulated that "green channels should be unblocked to ensure the emergency medical needs of the public, especially pregnant women, hemodialysis, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and other special patients."
However, sometimes, the ideas and ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Long before Shanghai decided to put the city under lockdown, on the evening of March 23, a nurse at Shanghai Dongfang Hospital suffered an asthma attack.
In desperation, the family had to temporarily transfer her to the East Hospital of Renji Hospital for treatment, and eventually passed away due to missing the best rescue time.
In the early morning of March 24, Dr. Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, admitted on his personal Weibo, "The masses have reported, 'The care of life in the lockdown area is not enough, the lockdown time is too long, and the repeated closures and controls in the hospital have resulted in normal doctor visits. "Difficult" situation", "These problems exist and should not be avoided. In the future fight against the epidemic, we must solve them one by one, otherwise, the significance of the successful fight against the epidemic will be greatly reduced."
This is indeed the case. If many secondary problems or injuries are caused during the epidemic prevention process, even if the epidemic prevention is a great success, it will eventually leave regrets and cast an unnecessary shadow on the epidemic prevention results.
Judging from the current situation, there have been more problems during the closure and control of Shanghai in the past few days than before.
Many people on the Internet reported that the guarantee of living materials was not in place, and it was difficult to buy vegetables. Some people complained that some grass-roots staff or the lack of property management in the community was chaotic.
Difficulty in seeking medical treatment was especially criticized.
Many netizens from Shanghai sent messages for help, including patients in urgent need of dialysis, cancer patients, patients with high fever, and pregnant women.
On March 31, the Pudong New Area Health and Health Commission issued a notice saying that an ambulance that had already pulled up the patient rejected a request from another patient's family to borrow a defibrillator, and the patient died because he was not treated in time. .
The doctor in the ambulance has been suspended.
Although there are different opinions on whether the punishment is appropriate or not on the Internet, it can be seen that in the past few days, Shanghai has also faced the difficulty of seeking medical treatment that occurred in the closure of Xi'an earlier.
While it is difficult to seek medical treatment for non-new crown cases, the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital recently issued a press release titled "The "Ding Ding Defense War" under the Cover of the New Crown Epidemic", describing the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital and the Eighth People's Hospital. After knowing that a foreign patient diagnosed with the new crown developed "priapism for 50 hours", how "highly attached", "organized a multidisciplinary consultation of the whole hospital", "won this rare 'Ding Ding battle'", public opinion was in an uproar.
From the perspective of Chinese people's values, hospitality and equality in front of life and health, it is of course no problem for Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital and Eighth People's Hospital to do so, but many patients outside the new crown face medical treatment. What do those Chinese patients who are not from the new crown think of such propaganda under the difficult predicament?
On April 1, there were pictures on the Internet. It is said that at a certain isolation point in Shanghai, some infants and young children were separated from their parents and isolated by themselves, without their parents to accompany them.
This scene made many parents feel a sense of heartbreak when they saw it.
No matter what virus they are infected with, they are helpless babies and children, the darlings of their parents.
At present, the authenticity of the picture has not been confirmed. I hope it is all fake. I hope that Shanghai will be able to match hearts during epidemic prevention, so that the reputation of humanized, flexible and refined governance accumulated over the past two years will continue.
A few days ago, Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the Global Times, published an article titled "Reducing secondary problems and suffering in epidemic prevention, which is a major challenge at present," and wrote: "How to ensure that non-COVID-19 patients receive treatment during the intensified anti-epidemic period is of great importance to people everywhere. It is a test, and Shanghai is now on the cusp of the storm. Shanghai's medical resources are relatively more abundant, but the challenges are also huge... In cities where the outbreak is concentrated, reduce the crowding of medical resources by mild and asymptomatic infections, and provide maintenance It is very necessary to leave due space in the normal medical order, and it is necessary to try.” He believes: “Our exploration cannot stop, the virus is mutating, if we stick to the old methods and do not solve the new problems we face, it will be another kind of '' Lie down. Our closure of the city should be more orderly, to avoid medical runs to the greatest extent, and to reduce secondary losses in an all-round way.” As he said, I hope Shanghai’s epidemic prevention will deal with difficulties and reduce secondary problems.
On March 31, Shanghai held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Ma Chunlei, secretary-general of the municipal government, admitted, "The recent nucleic acid screening and management of closure and control have brought a lot to the normal life, work and study of the general public. There are a lot of inconveniences, and we share with you the hardships and difficulties of staying at home for a long time.” “Some prevention and control measures are not implemented and implemented in place, and the living security of people in some closed areas is not thoughtful enough. We sincerely accept everyone’s criticism and are working hard. Improve".
This attitude is very good, the key is the unity of knowledge and action.
Epidemic prevention is a comprehensive test of the modernization level of a city's governance, and humanization and refinement are exactly what the modernization of governance should mean.
In the past two years, Shanghai has been at the forefront in exploring the optimization of epidemic prevention policies, such as taking the lead in implementing the privacy protection of epidemiology, only talking about the location without mentioning people, allowing pets during centralized isolation, and conducting orderly nucleic acid testing under the beautiful Disney fireworks. , the medium-risk area is accurate to an operation like a milk tea shop, and the dynamic balance between epidemic prevention and normal life is maintained to the maximum extent, making Shanghai not only a model for many places to learn from, but also a considerable reputation.
The reputation of a city is often hard-won, and I hope Shanghai can cherish its reputation. At the critical moment of the current closure and control of the Yangtze River, the more it is necessary to find its own humane and refined governance, and respond to and solve the concerns of the citizens to the greatest extent possible. , so that the epidemic prevention can finally stand the test of people's hearts, and try not to leave any regrets.
