An epidemic prevention and control worker in Shijiazhuang unfortunately passed away. How hard is it for the staff fighting on the front line of the epidemic?

The name of this epidemic prevention and control personnel is Li Ruizhi. He is a staff member of Guotai Street Community, Xiyuan Street, Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang City. According to his colleague's description, the change of community staff changes every two hours. An hour after Li Ruizhi returned to work, she suddenly felt unwell. On-site staff and nucleic acid testing medical staff immediately rescued her and sent her to the hospital as soon as possible. However, in the end, the rescue failed and she died. How hard it is for these staff who are fighting on the front line of the epidemic!

From the beginning of the epidemic to now, it is these front-line workers who have provided protection for the people across the country. They rotated their duties and did not even dare to drink more water in order not to waste protective clothing. They were afraid that they would want to go to the toilet after drinking too much water, which would lead to a waste of protective clothing. In order to rule out cases as quickly as possible, they are conducting nucleic acid tests on everyone day and night. I have seen too many staff members wearing protective clothing falling to the ground from exhaustion but still not daring to relax. This is only a small part of the hard work and fatigue that we can see. In places we can't see, there are medical staff fighting death who are working tirelessly to save lives one after another.

I used to think that staying up late was hard work, I used to think that working overtime was hard work, and I also thought that sweating was hard work. But these inherent ideas fell apart after I learned about the work of the staff fighting on the front line of the epidemic. After watching documentaries and film and television works that recorded the epidemic, I really understood the hard work of frontline protesters from many aspects.

The first thing is physical fatigue. The sweat we leave behind in our daily life and work is drop by drop, while the sweat they shed can soak their clothes and wring out streams of water. Because the initial outbreak of the epidemic was so rapid and severe that it was unpredictable, medical staff were very scarce at that time, so everyone would have a heavier burden on their shoulders. I dare not rest for one more second, for fear of losing a life in one second. The marks of masks and protective goggles remain on the faces of frontline workers for a long time. Their hard work can be seen but cannot be appreciated.

Secondly, I think the hard part is also the psychological burden. Chinese people are very emotional and have kind hearts. Therefore, during the epidemic, the mood and state of mind when seeing every life passed away but having no choice but to do anything was sad for every front-line worker. However, the epidemic did not give them time to breathe and feel sad. They could only cheer up and work harder, just to have less life disappear before their eyes. This kind of emotional hardship is very difficult.

Finally, what I want to say is that I hope everyone will give more support and cooperation to those working on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, so that their work can progress as smoothly as possible. This is for them. Because it’s for ourselves. I hope the epidemic will end soon and the staff can rest and relax soon. I firmly believe that the suffering will pass, and I am grateful for the efforts of all those fighting the epidemic.

Thank you for your hard work!
