Shanghai 3 10000 How did the elderly living alone live under the epidemic situation? Can their basic needs be met?

In addition to the direct threat from COVID-19, more difficulties are also highlighted. An article called "Helping the Elderly Community" appeared on many people's timelines. The author is a post-90s girl who lives in an aging community in Shanghai. She makes a living by snapping up supplies and hoarding goods. She wrote her own story: "The 93-year-old grandmother who lives alone next door cooks rice porridge every day, and the food is long gone." "The grandmother downstairs cooked a pot of vegetable rice and ate six meals a day."

Today, with the rapid development of digitalization and intelligence, young people, as aborigines in the digital society, can accept the influence of the Internet era without any obstacles and enjoy all kinds of conveniences in life. But without guidance and help, the elderly can easily become aphasia groups. Grandpa Zhu, who seems to live a chic life, actually misses his granddaughter very much. He often looks at photos of his granddaughter, but he never takes the initiative to contact. He always says "she is busy", and he is also worried about the old man's nagging.

At the moment, the controlled residential area is particularly quiet, and only community workers and volunteers can be seen running around. They shuttle back and forth between buildings, and some are busy patrolling the order of buildings; Some ride tricycles and battery cars to distribute materials door to door; Near lunch time, someone is busy sending steaming food to the nursing home as soon as possible. The community should contact by telephone to keep abreast of the situation, help the elderly to carry out nucleic acid testing and registration, and assist in the delivery of meals and living materials.

During the epidemic, Tang Guiming, a community volunteer, saw that the elderly with mobility difficulties in the building could not go to the nucleic acid testing point for nucleic acid sampling, so he took the initiative to be a "special assistant" for the elderly, helping them to register the two-dimensional code for nucleic acid testing and help them to go to the sampling point for nucleic acid sampling. After sampling, the old man was safely sent home and returned many times. Such as food aid, home care, distribution, etc. On the premise of strictly implementing the protective measures, the neighborhood committees try their best to provide one-on-one door-to-door service and do their best to ensure the service of special people in the community, so that the elderly can feel at home with peace of mind.
