Epidemic Survival Report for a Bag of Stones

1. What city are you in? How did you spend New Year's Eve in 2020?

In Shenzhen, it can be considered Wuhan. I went to university in Wuhan and took the train on January 9 to arrive home on the 10th. The New Year's Eve is definitely a lot easier than in previous years, but it can be considered lucky to have a small festival. The TV at home is still playing the background music of the Spring Festival Gala. I was in the room to brush the epidemic, and I kept crying. That night I kept thinking about why the Spring Festival Gala can still be held during this difficult time together. I asked my friend, this friend went to Wuhan Optics Valley (a very densely populated area) to play after the holiday, and then went to Dunhuang and Lanzhou for tourism. When he got home, his whole family had a cold and fever. Before she returned, her grandmother's fever was contagious. In short, she was also in a state of high and low at that time, and there was no condition for inspection in small places. This friend told me that if the Spring Festival Gala does not continue to be broadcast, she will panic even more, so I have no answer. After that, she told me to stop fighting the epidemic. I watched the very boring Spring Festival Gala in the living room for a while, and evaluated the makeup of the stars. I fell asleep before 12 o'clock. I dreamed of the epidemic, and now I forgot.

2. How much do you have in stock of masks? Tell a story about masks, you have experienced it or heard it.

There are a lot of people in our family, 7 or 8 people, maybe 100 or so, which is a lot.

I went to apply for the Taiwan Pass on July 31 last year, and I went to Taiwan on the 14th after the holiday in Wuhan. I didn't know it was this serious at the time. If I knew I would definitely not go, I would have been quarantined at home. Fortunately, my body is healthy except for a little cold for two days. I read the Guardian or Twitter or something, talking about this pneumonia. In fact, when we were in Wuhan before, the teacher had told us not to eat seafood, but he just sent a group message in the group, and didn't pay much attention. When I took the train home from Wuhan, I was a little hesitant, because the train was crowded and messy. I remember that the official said at that time that there would be no human-to-human transmission, but I don’t remember whether it was said that it was under control. But in the past two years, I have developed the habit of being suspicious of such major events, so I wore a mask on the train.

In short, on the 20th, I saw a friend in the circle of friends said that he could not buy masks, so I made a quick decision and bought a box of medical masks in Kaohsiung. Later, when I chatted with a friend at night, she said that there was a suspected case in Taiwan. At that time, I was in the night market in Kaohsiung, and I immediately found a pharmacy and bought two more boxes, a total of 150 boxes. This may be the first time I have personally felt the importance of information. My sister beside me suspected that it was not necessary for me to buy so many.

Story words:

It was probably the pharmacy where I bought masks at the night market. I bought it at a special price of NT$99. The previous one was NT$180. The pharmacy also reminded everyone to wear masks. On that day, I already knew that many people in the mainland were selling masks at high prices, and I can remember the special price in Taiwan for a lifetime. The uncles and aunts who bought masks were very gentle, because I bought a box first, and after hesitating at the door for a long time, I went in and bought another box. I felt like I was robbing others of supplies. I knew from the accent that I was not Taiwanese. But they didn't say anything either.

Another is that on the day I came back from Taiwan, I had already put on a mask. My dad laughed at me wearing a mask when he saw me coming back, saying that life and death depended on my life. I talked back to him, and he was very angry. We kept persuading him to wear a mask when going out, but he kept saying no. After that, the severity of the epidemic rose in a straight line, and he didn't need to tell us that he was wearing a mask silently.

3. Has the epidemic directly affected your life? If so, tell us how it was impacted.

No, the college classmates I know are all fine, and the family is safe.

4. After the outbreak, what was the one thing that surprised you the most or touched you the most?

Doctor Li Wenliang, I had a fever that night, and because every time the epidemic affected my mood, I chose to isolate for three or four days. So when I woke up at 4 o'clock that night, I opened Weibo and saw a lot of messages that I didn't have time to 404. I silently covered the quilt on the bed and cried. I fell asleep crying and fell asleep. I woke up the next morning and continued to cry.

Also, I knew it was rotten, but I didn't expect it to be so riddled with holes.

5. Do you think the epidemic will pass soon? If not, how do you plan to arrange the rest of your life?

No, at least I have to stay at home and not go to school for a long time. Originally, I planned to go back and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, but now the efficiency of preparing at home is greatly reduced. But it's still 10 hours a day at home.

6. Where do you get the latest information about the outbreak, can you list the three sources you look at most often? (If it is a Facebook page, WeChat account, or Twitter account, please list as much as possible)

Weibo and Twitter fragmented information, lawyer Chen Qiushi's video, Sanlian and Caixin, Wen Zhao's video

7. How much time do you spend on updating the epidemic news every day? Do you believe the news you see? What factors generally make you suspicious?

On average it is 0.5-1h. I almost unconditionally believe the help messages posted by ordinary people. As for the official, it is habitual to not believe it. Caixin and Sanlian generally believe.

8. Has the pandemic affected your relationships with others? Such as family members, friends, neighbors or netizens.

No, originally I was a very homely person, and I went out to meet a friend about 4 times a year. My family, just like that, they're outside survivors watching from the sidelines, and I can't change it.

There are netizens, not to mention netizens. They are the kind of people who have met twice and can chat, but never meet again. One of his friends said that everyone should not be led by the rhythm, and think that the system is not the root cause of this matter. I commented and asked her what it is, and she said economy and population. I asked her to clarify the relationship chain for me, but she stopped replying to me. A day later, I saw that she posted another Moments, asking everyone to help complete the propaganda targets of her father's work unit (within the system).

Another is that they have known each other for half a year, and the last time they met was a little bit divided on the Hong Kong issue. I saw that she has been scolding the Wuhan government, but she believes that Hong Kong independence is Hong Kong independence and Taiwan independence is Taiwan independence.

I'm cowardly, I just blocked them all.

9. Did the epidemic make you encounter any ethical problems? If so, what is it?

On the issue of family patriarchy, my dad has been at home all the time, and the friction with us has increased. But we were the kind of daughters who would refute Dad. But my father would take medicine indiscriminately when my mother had a fever, frantically cook herbal tea for us, and asked us to eat bear bile when there was a problem. My dad kind of ignored us after we rejected it so many times.

10. When the crisis is over, what is the first thing you want to do?

It's nothing, I want to have a barbecue, and then go back to school to study
