Nan Yangsheng had been in Wuhan for about three weeks, and the Shizhen Hospital where he worked was already overcrowded, and there was a long queue of patients who came to diagnose and treat depression. Patients are all worried about the outbreak of the epidemic.

At that time, under the recommendation of Xiang Weiqun, Nanyangsheng worked as a psychological counselor in this private hospital. The principal, Li Nana, is a young woman in her 30s who was at a loss for what to do in the face of this sudden change.

The patients who came to see the doctor talked a lot:

On the afternoon of the same day after the cultural performance of the Hubei Provincial Spring Festival group gathering, the official website of the Hubei Provincial Government began to release the news that the leaders of Hubei Province are concerned about the epidemic. As of January 22, 17 people infected with pneumonia virus had died in Hubei, and Hubei requested emergency support from the state.

In the early morning of January 23, Wuhan, the provincial capital, suddenly decided to "close the city" at 10 am.

Wuhan City, Hubei Province, in order to isolate the source of infection of the new coronavirus, suspended some or all public transportation, blocked streets, communities, and villages, closed places where people gather and suspended various activities, and controlled traffic entering and leaving the city and connecting various parts of the city . A curfew was imposed to restrict residents' access to communities and villages. In the early stage, except for the guarantee of urban operation, people's livelihood and special necessary industries, all other industries will delay the start of work until after February 10. Most cities in Hubei Province were completely blocked, and at least 207 cities took various measures to block internal and external traffic. Other provinces and cities followed suit. Some provinces and cities with better conditions (such as Guizhou) have begun to gradually unblock, but still retain crowd control.

Nan Yangsheng remembers: Wuhan's "city closure" began in the early morning of January 23. The Wuhan Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters announced that from 10 o'clock on the same day, the operation of urban buses, subways, ferries, and long-distance passenger transport in Wuhan City will be suspended, and airports and railway stations will be suspended. The passage from Han is temporarily closed. This is the first case in modern public health history that a large city with a population of 11 million has been locked down.

From 10:00 on January 23, Wuhan City officially implemented the "Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases" measures to "blockade areas affected by Class A infectious diseases". The release of the notice caused a large number of Wuhan locals and foreigners in Han to leave Han. China Railway Wuhan Bureau Group stated on its official Weibo that on January 22, Wuhan Station sent 93,100 passengers, including Hankou Station and Wuchang Station, a total of 3 stations. 299,600 passengers were sent.

In the morning of the same day, the media reported that highway control had also begun to be strengthened, and there was a large area of traffic congestion on the expressways around Wuhan. Until around 2 p.m., a total of 30 toll booth entrances and exits on expressways in Wuhan began to be closed, and vehicles were prohibited from entering. Wuhan will close all scenic spots and museums in the city during the Spring Festival until after February 8. At 11:00 p.m. on the same day, the Wuhan Municipal Prevention and Control Headquarters decided to suspend online car-hailing operations from 12:00 on January 24, and parade taxis were restricted to odd and even numbers.

The railway department issued an announcement during the daytime on January 23, saying that it will cooperate with the local government to close the passage of the Li-Han train, but the three stations of Wuhan, Hankou, and Wuchang can still continue to handle transfer services for passengers at the same station. Also on January 23, China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. made a decision to extend the policy of waiving refund fees, which was originally only applicable in Wuhan, to the whole country from 00:00 on January 24, 2020, in order to reduce population movement. Reduce the risk of transmission.

Wuhan Bureau Group announced on January 24 that the trains under its management will be suspended from now on until further notice, and on the 25th it will continue to suspend most of the inter-bureau trains it is responsible for: 221 pairs of scheduled passenger trains in charge of the bureau Only 6.5 pairs of trains originating and arriving at stations in Henan Province of the Bureau are reserved.

At that time, in the entire Wuhan Bureau Group, only Jiang'an Locomotive Depot, Jiang'an Locomotive Depot, and Wuhan North Railway Station had employees working normally, and only a small number of personnel were retained in the rest of the stations. Other than that, all employees were on vacation.

Xiang Weiqun told Nan Yangsheng: Hong Kong's "Headline Daily" reported that many citizens rushed to the train station to leave, hoping to take the last train before the train stopped operating, resulting in a long queue at the station. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the resolute anti-epidemic measures, "escape from Wuhan" once became a hot topic on Weibo.

Xiang Weiqun said to Nan Yangsheng: I can't go back to Hong Kong now either. In terms of road and water passenger transportation in China, as of January 23, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Jiangsu announced the suspension of water passenger flights and road passenger shuttles heading to Wuhan, and stopped reviewing passenger transportation signs to Hanbao; on January 23, the Ministry of Transport Announced the suspension of departures of road and water passenger transport lines entering Wuhan, the suspension of inter-provincial and inter-city chartered passenger transport services entering Wuhan, and free refunds. Wuhan Tianhe International Airport will be closed for departures at 13:00 on the 23rd. In terms of airlines, Cathay Dragon, Spring Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, All Nippon Airways and other airlines have canceled or adjusted multiple flights to and from Wuhan. On January 24, Tianhe Airport only allowed international flights to enter and return on the same day. Only two SF Airlines cargo planes carrying disaster relief supplies arrived.

Nan Yangsheng asked Xiang Weiqun: So what do you do now?

Xiang Weiqun said: I can only stay in Wuhan temporarily, and I have to take care of my father. After Wuhan announced the "closure of the city", local supermarkets experienced a surge in purchases, and even food prices skyrocketed. Some netizens criticized the merchants for being unscrupulous and took the opportunity to make "disaster fortunes" and called on the government to control prices. In this regard, the Wuhan Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued a notice stating that because of the approaching of the New Year’s Eve, most merchants and supply channels happen to have a large stock of stock. At present, Wuhan’s bulk commodities, food, medical protective equipment, etc. are actually fully stocked and supplied smoothly. Citizens don't have to hoard and snap up at high prices to avoid waste.

Xiang Weiqun took out a newspaper and said to Nanyang Sheng: Look, the official media has vigorously reported on the government’s preparations, announcing that the city’s regular commercial reserves include 5 million kilograms of finished rice, 4,000 tons of edible oil, 5,500 tons of pork, and 2,000 tons of halal beef. 1,500 tons of sugar; Wuhan Grain and Material Reserve Bureau reserves 16.3 million kilograms of finished rice, 8,000 tons of cooking oil, 1.55 million kilograms of eggs, 5 million kilograms of vegetables, 1 million kilograms of fresh fish, 200 tons of halal beef and 6,000 heads of pork , the market is arranged in an orderly manner through more than 300 supply outlets in the city. On January 21, 500 tons of frozen pork from government reserves of three varieties were also released normally. Guaranteed supply and stable prices can fully guarantee the needs of citizens during this period. Supermarkets that experienced skyrocketing food prices were interviewed by the local market supervision bureau, and the food prices returned to normal after the interviews.

Xiang Weiqun said to Nan Yangsheng: This is all nonsense. My dad is yelling at the government again. My younger sister Lu Weihua's school is closed. She and her mother Lu Ganke go to the supermarket every day to stock up, and our family has also started to stock up. But soon there will be no stock to buy, the supermarket will be empty, the streets will be empty, and the heart will be empty. The city of Wuhan is closed, and citizens stay at home. Can only be forced to stay at home. Perhaps, in a few days, it will be difficult for us to meet.

Nan Yangsheng, who is a doctor of psychology, usually provides psychological counseling for those depressed patients, but now he suddenly feels that he has become a depressed patient, and feels that the end of the world is just around the corner.
