今天是2020年3月3日 星期二 第十八篇
陰天，陰冷。
自1月23日封城到今天，我們處於封閉隔絕狀態已有一個多月。人們似乎已經習慣並認同了這樣的生活。甚至有同事說，居民們每天吃飯睡覺看電視，也不需要工作還有什麼好抱怨的。還有人認為，一些居民把自己當成了皇帝，成天要求這要求那，恨不能每天山珍野味供著。人與人總是如此不同，如果此刻有禮賢下士的政府官員坐在我們中間，看著我們一張張樸實簡單的面孔和表情，他或許真的會以為一千多萬江城市民正過著神仙般的悠閑日子。當然，現實中這麼傻的官員並不多見，他們比我們精明。
在網上看到一位網友說，鐘南山無非就是一個體制裏的人，被神話了。其實，神化，一直是我們的傳統。只要喜歡，我們可以將任何一個同類捧上神的位子，反過來也可以將他打入地獄。
常常有人說，你覺得某某做得不行，那你去試試。我覺得這話並沒有錯。體制是一種異常可怕的東西，是一架攪拌人的精神而不僅僅是肉體的無比龐大的機器，在這架機器中，任何一個人都只能依循它的規則去思想去翻滾。這與你是天才還是蠢材沒多大關系。體制是權力的體現，只要在體制中你就只能是權力的傀儡。這個世界上從來沒有哪一個人可以真正做到掌控權力，希特勒不行，秦始皇也不行。從來都是權力掌控我們每一個人，掌握權力只是幻覺。
語言表達了一個社會的文明程度和非文明的程度。所謂武漢人民做出巨大犧牲的說法是很不吉利的也是令人費解的。犧牲從來都是自願主動的行為，而不是被動的被命令的。主動的犧牲是高尚的，被犧牲則是悲慘的。從來都是一個地方出現災難，人們千方百計去援助那裏的人而不是想辦法犧牲掉那裏的人，這是人道主義最基本的含義。
鐘南山先生的團隊預測封閉需要維持到四月底，我不知道依據是什麼。張文宏先生認為，不盡快複工，人口死亡率將高於新冠肺炎死亡率。我覺得這是實事求是的判斷，雖然他依然是站在一個醫生的角度來說這番話的。封閉本身就是風險極大的舉措，而封閉小區則是險中有險。對這一危險所可能造成的後果沒有充分的認識，必然導致舉止失措，莽撞無理。集中所有的力量救治病毒患者而將其他病人的救治置之腦後，為防止疫情擴散而封閉城市和小區而將市民基本生活需求置之腦後，那麼由此帶來更加嚴重的次生災害幾乎難以避免。亡羊補牢只是在羊已經丟失情況下的無奈之舉，是在付出慘痛代價後的盡力挽救，而不是業績更不是豐功偉業。當然這只是個人的看法，更多的人其實還是認為應該先解決眼下的問題，以後的事以後再去想法子。
有很多外地滯留人員要求領取救濟金。我覺得最好的辦法是在妥善安置他們的生活的前提下，盡快地將他們送到他們自己的家鄉。不知道那些當地政府為什麼沒有想到這一點，為什麼沒有設置便捷的通道讓他們安全地返鄉。
工資終於到賬。
今天又接受到一些防疫物資，有口罩、隔離服裝等等。有點馬後炮的感覺，亡羊補牢的感覺。
小區物業好像終於醒了，首次向業主免費發放蔬菜，但品質數量和種類都比社區所發放的要好很多。
有位業主要求社區幫助買貓糧，說他家的貓快要餓死了。一些同事覺得這業主很可笑。我覺得救貓也是救人，答應幫他打聽購買。晚上業主又打來電話，說貓糧已經從網上購得，表示非常感謝我對他們的理解。
TUESDAY, MAR. 3, 2020
Cloudy day, cold and gloomy. It has been more than a month since
the city was locked down on January 23rd. People seem to have become
accustomed to this kind of life and have accepted it. Some colleagues
have commented that residents eat, sleep, and watch TV each day, so
what’s the big deal? Others think that some residents treat themselves as
emperors, asking for this and that all day long, hating that they can’t be
served with mountainous delicacies every day. People are always so
different. Suppose a courteous government officer is sitting among us
right now, looking at our simple faces and expressions. In that case, he
may think that more than 10 million citizens of Jiangcheng are living a
god-like leisurely life. But, of course, in reality, there are not many officers
who are so stupid. They are more intelligent than us.
I saw a netizen say on the Internet that Zhong Nanshan is just a
person in the system, mythologized. It has always been our tradition to
idolize him. As long as we like, we can put any similar person into the
position of God, and conversely, we can put him into hell.
People intend to criticize others. In my opinion, they should do
themself to see if they can do better. I believe this saying is not wrong:
“The system is an exceptionally terrible thing. It is a stirring human spirit
and not just the physical body of the immense machine. ” In this machine,
any person can only follow its rules to think and roll. That has little to do
with whether you are a genius or a fool. The system is the embodiment
of power. As long as in the system, you can only be a puppet of the system.
No one in this world has ever really been able to control the system, not
Hitler, not Qin Shi Huang. It is always the system that holds each of us.
Mastering power is only an illusion.
Words express the degree of civilization and uncivilization of a
society. It is inauspicious and incomprehensible to say that the people of
Wuhan made a huge sacrifice. Sacrifice has always been a voluntary act,
not a passive command. The active sacrifice is noble. This sacrifice is
miserable. The most basic meaning of humanitarianism is that people do
everything possible to help the people there when there is a disaster
instead of trying to sacrifice the people there.
Mr. Nanshan Zhong’s team predicts that the city closure in Wuhan
needs to be maintained until the end of April. I don’t know what he is
based on. Mr. Wenhong Zhang thinks that if we don’t resume work soon,
the death rate of the population will be higher than the death rate of the
new coronary pneumonia. I think this is a realistic judgment, although he
is still speaking from a doctor’s perspective. The lockdown of the city
itself is a very risky move. The lockdown of apartment buildings is riskier
than a city lockdown. Failure to fully understand the potential
consequences of this danger will inevitably lead to recklessness and
irrationality. They focus all efforts on treating patients with the virus that
leaves the treatment of other patients behind; They locked down cities
and small communities to prevent the pandemic and leave people’s basic
daily needs behind; That would have brought about more inevitable,
severe serious secondary disasters. Mending the sheep pen is a desperate
measure when the sheep have already been lost. It’s a desperate attempt
to salvage the situation after paying a painful price. It’s not a performance
or a success. But, of course, this is only my personal opinion. More people
think we should first solve the immediate problem, the future of things
to think about later.
There are a lot of stranded foreigners asking for relief money. I
believe the best way is to send them to their hometown as soon as
possible under the premise of properly accommodating their lives in
Wuhan. I don’t know why the local government didn’t think of this and
why they didn’t set up a convenient channel for them to return home
safely.
The wages are finally paid today.
Today, I received more vaccination materials, such as masks and
isolation clothing—a little bit of hindsight. I had the feeling of mending
a sheep pen after the sheep were lost.
It seems that the housing managers in my area have finally woken
up. They are giving out free vegetables to the apartment owners for the
first time. The quality and variety are much better than what the
community center is giving out now.
One owner asked the community center to help him buy cat food,
saying that his cat was starving to death. Some of my colleagues thought
this owner was ridiculous. However, I felt that saving the cat was also
saving lives. So, I agreed to help him purchase the cat food. In the evening,
the owner called again and said he had purchased cat food from the
internet and thanked me for my understanding.
