陰天，溫度卻不低。我們依舊穿著棉衣，走路、爬樓都會出汗。
從媒體得知，武漢新增病毒患者還是有120多個，應該是早期積累下來的疑似患者數量過大，病毒潛伏期很長所致。聽說政府開始命名零新增小區、社區、街道，政府是否會根據各地方疫情情況逐步解除封閉？我覺得這是很好的辦法。根據各地方疫情變化的實際情況讓市民逐步恢複正常生活，同時也可以集中力量對一些疫情嚴重的地區實施更有效的防控和救助。
天然氣公司向社區下達切實做好幫助居民尤其困難居民購買天然氣充值的工作的通知。內容很簡單，不容置疑的文字讓人覺得這家公司具有城市燃氣管理的職能。權力無所不在。每一位市民都要聆聽來自各個部門、行業的指令，這些指令早已融入我們生活的每一個細節。
聽說有的小區因向居民發售十元一斤的凍肉造成人群聚集，市民生活之窘迫可見一斑。
從網上得知，青山區一個小區有居民趴在窗口，向前來視察小區服務工作情況的領導們呼喊，假的，假的，形式主義雲雲。這與疫情早期有居民在陽臺上敲鑼求救有異曲同工之處，情急之下我們的表達方式也是多種多樣的。
有個小區居民試圖出小區買藥，一位好心的民警將其攔截後代為購買，那位居民拿到藥後卻說自己沒錢，最後還是要社區來墊付。
在對一個小區的住戶進行篩查時，發現有一戶居民全家只有一只口罩，一家三口人輪流著使用。
從媒體得知，一名老嫗向醫護人員下跪表達感激之情。中國自古有下跪的傳統。向皇帝跪，向父母官跪，向長輩跪也向恩人跪。日本人跪著等同於坐著，中國人的跪那是真跪。我相信老嫗的感情是真誠的發自內心的，但千萬不要讓年輕人學，因為年輕人一跪就跪回去幾十年幾百年幾千年。
給滯留在漢的外地困難人員發放救濟金的事情並不順利，因為社區不清楚困難的標准是什麼。還有人質疑，可以給外地人發救濟金，為什麼不能給本地的居民發。本地一般居民一個多月來不能工作，沒有收入，物價又比平日高很多，很多居民還要看病、買藥，而該交的費用如燃氣費等一分錢都不能少，那些沒有積蓄的困難居民生活有多麼艱難，這些難道不應該應該考慮………
FRIDAY, MAR. 6, 2020
It was a cloudy day, but the temperature was not too bad. We still
wore cotton coats and sweated when we walked and climbed the stairs.
We know from the media that there are still more than 120 new
Covid-19 virus cases in Wuhan, probably due to the large number of
suspected patients accumulated in the early days and the long latent
period of the virus. I heard that the government has started naming zeronew-case neighborhoods, communities, and streets. Will the government
gradually lift the closure according to the severity of the pandemic in each
place? I think this would be a perfect approach. It will allow people to
return to everyday life gradually. At the same time, it will focus on more
effective prevention, control, and relief in some areas where the
pandemic is most profound.
The natural gas company issued a notice to the community to do an
excellent job of helping residents, especially those in need, to purchase
natural gas tanks refilled. The content of the message is straightforward.
However, the notice uses an unquestionable tone that makes people feel
that the company has the power of city gas management. The power is
everywhere. Every citizen must listen to the instructions from various
departments and companies. It has long been integrated into every part
of our lives.
It is said that some small areas are selling frozen meat for 10 yuan
per half kg to residents, causing crowds to gather. That is evidence of the
people’s plight in their lives.
I learned from the Internet that residents of a small district in Green
Mountain Complex were sticking their heads out of the window, shouting
at the leaders who came to inspect the district’s service work, “Fake, Fake,
Fake.” This is like the residents banging on the balcony for help in the
early days of the pandemic. There are many ways to express ourselves in
an emergency.
One neighborhood resident tried to leave the building to buy
medicine. A kind-hearted police officer stopped him and helped him buy
the medicine. The resident got the medicine but said he didn’t have
money, and finally, the community center had to pay for it.
During the screening of households in a building complex, it was
found that one household had only one mask for the whole family with
three people taking turns using it.
I learned from the media, that an older woman both knelt on the
floor to express her gratitude to the medical staff. China has had a
tradition of kneeling since ancient times. Kneel to the emperor, kneel to
your parents, kneel to your elders, and kneel to your benefactors. The
Japanese kneel as if they were sitting down, but the Chinese kneel for real.
I believe that the older people’s feelings are sincere and from the heart,
but do not let the young people learn. Young people should not learn this
custom from centuries and thousands of years ago.
The issue of granting relief to foreigners in need who are stranded
in China has not gone well because the community is not sure precisely
the criteria for relief. Some people also questioned why residents could
not be given relief money when foreigners could be given it. The average
resident was unable to work for more than a month and had no income.
Prices are much higher than they used to be. Many residents must go to
the doctor, buy medicine, and pay for expenses such as gas. All the bills
needed to be paid without a penny discount. How difficult it is for those
who have no savings to live. Should their difficulties not be considered?
