After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia in
Wuhan, no one believed that it was a precursor to a germ war between China and
the United States, and more people believed that it was a war without
gunpowder. The situation of the epidemic is severe, and people are watching and
helping each other. All countries can also put righteousness first and use
various methods to help overcome the epidemic.
Chai Jianhua said to He Jiafu:
In December 2019, patients with pneumonia of
unknown cause appeared successively in some medical institutions in Wuhan.
Wuhan continues to carry out surveillance of influenza and related diseases. I
noticed that pneumonia of unknown cause appeared in Wuhan, which was officially
confirmed to be true. On December 31, the Wuhan Municipal Government announced
that a total of 27 cases were found, all diagnosed as viral pneumonia/lung
infection. Among them, 7 cases are in critical condition, the condition of the
remaining cases is controllable, and 2 cases have improved and are scheduled to
be discharged in the near future. No obvious human-to-human transmission was
found, and no infection among medical staff was found. For this reason, the
official Weibo of the People's Daily posted a message: "At present, the
cause of the disease has not been clarified, and it cannot be concluded that it
is the SARS virus rumored on the Internet."
Pan Guangfu went on to say: At the end of December
2019, an expert group from the National Health and Medical Commission arrived
in Wuhan to officially intervene in the investigation. The Wuhan Health and
Medical Commission stated that there was no obvious human-to-human transmission
or infection among medical staff. However, the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market
has been disinfected on a large scale, and Wuhan Union Hospital has also set up
a respiratory infectious disease isolation area.
Pan Guangfu turned on his mobile phone and
retrieved the documents in his collection. It was on December 31, 2019, when
the Wuhan Health Commission issued a circular on the current pneumonia
epidemic.
Pan Guangfu asked everyone to read the full text of
the circular:
Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Commission's
briefing on the current situation of pneumonia in our city
Recently, some medical institutions found that many
pneumonia cases received were related to South China Seafood City. After
receiving the report, the Municipal Health and Health Commission immediately
carried out case searches and retrospective investigations related to South
China Seafood City in medical and health institutions in the city. At present,
A total of 27 cases have been found, 7 of which are in serious condition, and
the remaining cases are in stable and controllable condition. 2 cases have
improved and are scheduled to be discharged in the near future. The clinical
manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had dyspnea, and
chest radiographs showed infiltrating lesions in both lungs. At present, all
cases have been treated in isolation, the follow-up investigation and medical
observation of close contacts are in progress, and the hygienic investigation
and environmental sanitation disposal of South China Seafood City are in
progress.
Wuhan City organized consultations with clinical
medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts from Tongji Hospital, Provincial
Center for Disease Control, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease
Control and Prevention. Based on analysis of the situation, epidemiological
investigation, and preliminary laboratory testing, it was concluded that the
above-mentioned cases were viral pneumonia. So far, no obvious human-to-human
transmission has been found in the investigation, and no infection among
medical staff has been found. The detection of the pathogen and the
investigation of the cause of the infection are currently underway.
Viral pneumonia is more common in winter and
spring, and can be sporadic or outbreaks. The main clinical manifestations are
fever, body aches, a small number of dyspnea, and lung infiltration. Viral
pneumonia is related to the virulence of the virus, the route of infection, the
age and immune status of the host. Influenza virus is the most common virus
causing viral pneumonia, while others include parainfluenza virus,
cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, and coronavirus. Confirmation depends
on etiological examination, including virus isolation, serological examination,
and detection of viral antigen and nucleic acid. The disease is preventable and
controllable. In terms of prevention, keep indoor air circulation, avoid closed
public places with no air circulation and crowded places, and wear masks when
going out. The clinical treatment is mainly symptomatic, requiring bed rest. If
you have the above symptoms, especially persistent fever, you should go to a
medical institution in time.
Pan Guangfu further interpreted this announcement.
On January 1, 2020, the South China Seafood
Wholesale Market was closed, and the National Health Commission established a
leading group for epidemic response. On January 2, the Wuhan Institute of
Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences obtained the complete genome sequence of
the new coronavirus. The Hong Kong inspection has proposed preventive measures
against the epidemic. On January 3, Wuhan launched the investigation and
specimen collection of pneumonia of unknown cause. The Wuhan Health and Medical
Commission reported 44 cases of "viral pneumonia of unknown cause",
and no obvious human-to-human transmission and medical infection were seen. The
Wuhan Municipal Health Commission stated that common respiratory diseases such
as bird flu were ruled out.
The National Health and Medical Commission issued
the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Biological Sample Resources
and Related Scientific Research Activities in the Prevention and Control of
Major Emerging Infectious Diseases"; Professor Zhang Yongzhen's team
received samples from Wuhan Central Hospital.
On the same day that the Wuhan Health and Health
Commission issued a report on the current pneumonia epidemic, the Wuhan Public
Security Bureau, after investigation and verification, summoned 8 illegal
personnel who posted and forwarded false information on the Internet, and dealt
with them according to law. One day, the news was released through the official
"Safe Wuhan" Weibo.
According to the report, recently, some medical
institutions in our city have discovered that they have received multiple cases
of pneumonia, and the Municipal Health and Health Commission issued a report on
this. However, some netizens publish and forward false information on the
Internet without verification, causing adverse social impact. After
investigation and verification, the public security organ has summoned 8
offenders and dealt with them according to law.
The police reminded that the Internet is not a
place outside the law. Posting information and speeches on the Internet should
abide by laws and regulations. The police will investigate and deal with
illegal acts that fabricate, spread, and spread rumors and disrupt social order
according to law, and will not tolerate them. It is hoped that the majority of
netizens will abide by relevant laws and regulations, and refrain from
creating, believing, or spreading rumors, and jointly build a harmonious and
clear cyberspace.
At the same time, CCTV broadcasted that Wuhan
Public Security Bureau summoned 8
Information about illegal rumormongers. Smashing
rumors has become the consensus of the whole people. It also reflects the
people's hatred of the rumor makers.
But afterwards, the public discovered that the
eight "illegal rumormongers" summoned by the Wuhan Public Security
Bureau were all medical workers, and they were telling the truth. Among them is
Dr. Li Wenliang.
Li Wenliang is an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central
Hospital and a member of the Communist Party of China. Born on October 12,
1986, Manchu, Beizhen County, Jinzhou, Liaoning, from a poor family. His father
used to work in a machine repair factory in Beizhen, and his mother used to
work in the ethnic shopping mall in Beizhen. In the 1990s, Li Wenliang's
parents were both laid off. After being laid off, his father relied on odd jobs
to support the family and has never had a regular job. Li Wenliang studied in
Beizhen Senior High School with excellent grades. In 2004, with a score of 609
in the college entrance examination, Li Wenliang was admitted to Wuhan
University majoring in clinical medicine (seven-year program), and he was a
combined undergraduate and master. In his sophomore year, he was allowed to
join the Communist Party of China. After graduating from university in 2011, he
joined Xiamen Ophthalmic Center Affiliated to Xiamen University. After working
in Xiamen for 3 years, he returned to Wuhan in 2014 and worked in Wuhan Central
Hospital.
On the afternoon of December 30, 2019, Li Wenliang
saw a test report showing a patient with a high-confidence positive indicator
for SARS coronavirus, so at 17:43 in the afternoon, he posted a message about
the epidemic situation in the South China Seafood Market in his classmate
group. The message "Seven cases of SARS were confirmed in Huanan Fruit and
Seafood Market". Then he sent a test report and a CT image of the
patient's lungs. At 18:42, he added: "The latest news is that the
coronavirus infection has been confirmed, and the virus typing is in
progress"; finally explained what a coronavirus is , At the same time, he
also asked in the group not to spread the news and the test report, but he did
not expect that the screenshots would be spread out soon.
On January 3, 2020, Li Wenliang was warned and
admonished by the Zhongnan Road Street Police Station of the Wuchang District
Branch of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau for "publishing false
statements on the Internet". Li Wenliang has been widely followed by
public opinion, and has been interpreted as one of the eight
"rumour-mongers".
Upstream news pointed out that Wuhan police
summoned 8 people on January 1, and Li Wenliang went to the police station to
receive admonition on January 3, so he may not be one of the eight
"rumour-mongers". In response to this, Li Wenliang responded that he
did not know whether he was one of the "rumour-mongers", he only knew
that he was reprimanded for telling the truth. Li Wenliang was later asked to
sign a letter of admonition, and the police gave him a stern warning,
admonishing him that if he did not obey and continued to engage in illegal activities,
he would be punished by law.
After Li Wenliang was warned and reprimanded by the
local police station for "posting false statements on the Internet",
he continued to work on the front line.
On January 8, Li Wenliang received an 82-year-old
female patient with acute angle-closure glaucoma. The next day, the patient
developed a fever and some symptoms of pneumonia. At that time, Li Wenliang
highly suspected that the patient had It is this new type of pneumonia.
On January 10, Li Wenliang developed symptoms such
as cough and fever, and then his condition became serious.
On January 12, Li Wenliang began to receive
isolation treatment in the intensive care unit of the Department of Respiratory
and Intensive Medicine.
After Li Wenliang was diagnosed, he has been
treated in the Houhu District of Wuhan Central Hospital. On January 16, he had
difficulty breathing.
On January 28, when Li Wenliang was diagnosed and
admitted to the hospital, the Supreme People's Court published an article on
its official microblog saying: In the case of eight people punished by Wuhan
public security organs for posting "Seven cases of SARS were confirmed in
the South China Fruit and Seafood Market", "if the machine It can
indeed be determined that the applicable law is based on the understanding that
the new type of pneumonia is not SARS, and that SARS has appeared in Wuhan is a
fabrication of false information, and the information has caused chaos in the
social order. Administrative punishment and even criminal punishment have their
legitimacy.
During this period, Li Wenliang had undergone
nucleic acid tests many times, and the results were negative many times, but
the results were positive by January 30.
On February 1, Li Wenliang was diagnosed with a new
type of coronavirus infection. Li Wenliang's condition began to deteriorate on
February 5. In addition, his parents and several colleagues were also infected
with the new type of coronavirus pneumonia, and his parents have been
discharged safely. Li Wenliang's wife Fu Xuejie, who was six months pregnant,
returned to her hometown in the countryside of Zaoyang, Hubei after her husband
was hospitalized. She returned to Wuhan on the evening of February 6 and was
not infected.
On February 6, Li Wenliang complained of chest
tightness, breathlessness, and blood oxygen saturation of only 85 during a call
with a friend. At around 19:00 on February 6, Li Wenliang was pushed into the
emergency room. In the afternoon, under 95% non-invasive ventilation, the
partial pressure of oxygen dropped to 41. At about 18:00, colleagues asked
Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital to borrow an ECMO, but the trolley sent by the
hospital couldn't fit it, and they waited for the big truck, and it was
delivered to the hospital at around 21:00. At 21:18, the doctor ordered a bolus
injection of epinephrine. At 21:30, Dr. Li Wenliang was reported to have died
due to the worsening of the novel coronavirus pneumonia and cardiac arrest. The
hospital said that he was still being rescued. At 21:33, Li Wenliang was
intubated, and then rescued by Ye Kemo. At 22:57, Ye Kemo was removed and then
used again.
At about 00:00 on February 7, in the intensive care
unit of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in the Houhu
District of Wuhan Central Hospital, a nurse who entered and exited said,
"Li Wenliang is dying." , and experts went to consult. A reporter
from the Economic Observation Network learned of Li Wenliang's death outside
the intensive care unit of the hospital at around 00:40. At 00:38, Wuhan
Central Hospital’s official Weibo posted a post stating that it was “rescuing
with all its strength” and it lasted for several hours. At 3:48, it finally
announced that Li Wenliang “died at 2:58 in the morning.” Li Wenliang is only
33 years old. Li Wenliang's wife, Fu Xuejie, is also an ophthalmologist and
joined Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital in December 2010. The two got married after
working for Li Wenliang for a year, and they had a 5-year-old son. Before Li
Wenliang died, his wife was pregnant with a second child.
According to the "Health Times" interview
with Yu Chengbo, the chief medical team leader of the Zhejiang Aid to Hubei
Medical Team and the chief doctor of the Department of Infectious Diseases of
the First Hospital of Zhejiang University, although the young patients among
the pneumonia patients infected with the new coronavirus are relatively mild,
because Li Wenliang has been in charge of the patients He used to be an
operator of the South China Seafood Market and was highly contagious, which led
to Li Wenliang's direct infection.
However, with the ferment of the virus epidemic,
the number of deaths and infections increased, and Wuhan announced the closure
of the city, no one said that Li Wenliang or the eight people were spreading
rumors.
The death of Li Wenliang proves that although the
new type of pneumonia is not SARS, the content released by the information
publisher is not completely fabricated. If the public had believed this
"rumor" at the time, and based on the panic about SARS, they had
taken measures such as wearing masks, strictly disinfecting, and avoiding going
to wild animal markets, it might be a blessing for better prevention and
control of new pneumonia .
On the afternoon of December 30, 2019, Li Wenliang
saw a test report showing a patient with a high-confidence positive indicator
for SARS coronavirus, so at 17:43 in the afternoon, he posted a message about
the epidemic situation in the South China Seafood Market in his classmate
group. The message "Seven cases of SARS were confirmed in Huanan Fruit and
Seafood Market". Li Wenliang was warned and reprimanded by the Zhongnan
Road Street Police Station of the Wuchang District Branch of the Wuhan Public
Security Bureau for "publishing false statements on the Internet".
So who are the rumormongers? Is telling the truth a
lie? Public opinion was in an uproar. Li Wenliang was one of the first medical
staff to disclose the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus to the outside
world. He was known as the "whistleblower" of the novel coronavirus
pneumonia and became a hero who dared to speak the truth.
Michael Ryan, Executive Director of the World
Health Organization's Health Emergencies Program expressed condolences on the
passing of Dr. Li Wenliang and praised his dedication during his lifetime.
The Hubei Provincial Health Commission and the
Wuhan Municipal People's Government respectively issued announcements on their
official websites, paying tribute to Li Wenliang for sticking to the front line
to fight the epidemic and expressing condolences to his family. The National
Health Commission of the People's Republic of China issued an announcement on
its official website, expressing its deep condolences to Dr. Li Wenliang, and
expressing condolences on the death of Li Wenliang before the reporter's
question session at the epidemic press conference on February 7.
On February 7, Shanghai's "Xinmin Evening
News" reported the news of Li Wenliang's death in the form of a large
photo with a black background on the front page, and published an article
written by the newspaper's chief reporter Shao Ning entitled "Let the Open
and Transparent Sunshine The editorial "Piercing the Virus Miasma"
emphasized that "only by ensuring the openness and transparency of the
epidemic and related information can the spread of rumors be curbed and public
confidence restored."
At noon on February 7, the National Supervisory
Commission of the People's Republic of China decided to send an investigation
team to Wuhan City, Hubei Province to conduct a comprehensive investigation on
the issues reported by the public involving Dr. Li Wenliang. At noon on
February 8, the investigation team arrived in Wuhan.
On February 9, the Embassy of the People's Republic
of China in France issued a document on its official website, saying that using
a "whistleblower" to describe Li Wenliang was "politicizing
him" and "bad intentions aimed at splitting public opinion in
China", emphasizing that Li Wenliang is a member of the Chinese Communist
Party.
In the report, Xinhua Daily Telegraph praised Li
Wenliang's daring to speak out as a manifestation of his moral conscience as a
citizen, and what he did "faithfully fulfilled the duties of a
doctor." CCTV published a comment titled "Mourning Li Wenliang, but
more importantly, it is necessary to mend the past." Li Wenliang took
actions to protect medical ethics and medical ethics, and his experience also
exposed some problems in the "governance system and capacity
building" in some places. "Global Times" published an editorial
titled "Pay Tribute to Dr. Li Wenliang", saying that Dr. Li Wenliang
was one of the young victims of the epidemic. Social reflection provides a
touching sample. Editor-in-chief Hu Xijin pointed out that "Wuhan City
really owes an apology to Li Wenliang", and at the same time called on the
public to continue fighting the epidemic. "Southern Weekend"
commented that we should thank Dr. Li Wenliang for making the earliest whistle,
and we should also bear in mind the huge social cost caused by the failure of
the whistle to continue to spread. "Ban Yue Tan" commented that we
must pay attention to information transparency and fair law enforcement.
In addition to the fluctuation of Weibo hot
searches, according to Baidu ranking and WeChat search index, the popularity of
queries related to the word "Li Wenliang"
On January 1, 2020, the South China Seafood
Wholesale Market was closed, and the National Health Commission established a

Tribute to Dr. Li Wenliang", saying that Dr. Li Wenliang was one of the
young victims of the epidemic. Social reflection provides a touching sample.
Editor-in-chief Hu Xijin pointed out that "Wuhan City really owes an
apology to Li Wenliang", and at the same time called on the public to
continue fighting the epidemic. "Southern Weekend" commented that we
should thank Dr. Li Wenliang for making the earliest whistle, and we should
also bear in mind the huge social cost caused by the failure of the whistle to
continue to spread. "Ban Yue Tan" commented that we must pay
attention to information transparency and fair law enforcement.
In addition to the fluctuations in Weibo hot
searches, according to Baidu rankings and WeChat search indexes, the popularity
of queries related to the word "Li Wenliang" all rose suddenly from
the evening of February 6, reached its peak in the morning of February 7, and
fell sharply. On February 8th it dropped rapidly again.
On February 11, Zhong Nanshan, head of the
high-level expert group of the National Health Commission of China and an
expert on infectious diseases in China, said in an interview with Reuters,
"Most people think he (Li Wenliang) is a hero in China, and I am really
proud of him. .He told people the truth at the end of December (2019) and then
he died"
According to a BBC report, Zhong Nanshan cried when
talking about Li Wenliang, and doctors will not be punished for telling the
truth in the future.
Pan Guangfu turned off the phone and said
helplessly:
The death of Li Wenliang brings us more
reflections. I can only salute the fearless fighter, the egoless thinker. Drive
away the plague ghosts with one heart, and send the plague god to the whole
people. Facing the confusing epidemic situation, we are all ordinary people.
Whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, we can only silently pray for the
medical staff who are fighting on the front line. come home early. Besides,
what else can we say and do?
