A small Gozhuang truck driver suffered two Life accidents in two days: infection with the new crown virus and leakage of his personal privacy.
In the official notification of the Hebei Provincial health and Construction Commission on January 14, he was one of the 75 new cases. In addition to his action track for 21 days before the diagnosis, there were only 15 words about his personal information: male, 34 years old, from Xiaoguozhuang Village, Zengcun Town, Gaocheng District.
And on cyberspace, posts and videos with his and the same driver’s name, ID number, cell phone number, license plate number and other private information, quickly spread to chat groups in Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Shanxi.
He saw in a short video, his photo on his ID card appeared in the middle of the most prominent, comments have netizens trolling messages. He said, “After living by the rules for more than 30 years, he is hanging on the Internet like a wanted criminal “.
In an interview with reporters, the driver repeatedly asked if he could remain anonymous, he did not want “more personal information to leak out “. In order to respect the privacy of the interviewee, the two parties in the report, Li Liang, Zhang Yuan are pseudonyms.
At around 5 p.m. on Jan. 13, Li Liang was notified by a nurse at an isolation site in Shijiazhuang that he had tested positive for nucleic acid and was ready to go to the hospital. He got on a 120 negative pressure ambulance and was transferred to the Jianhua Hospital of Shijiazhuang People’s Hospital, where he was diagnosed as a confirmed case that day.
Starting at 10 a.m. on January 14, he received more than 100 unfamiliar phone calls one after another from Hebei, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, including from Bayannur and Langfang, where they had not been. There are several claiming to be CDC officers, police officers, community officers, and more unidentified people who hang up after saying a few words, and the other party was able to report his ID number, license plate number and car model, asking him if he was the driver of the big car infected with the new crown. “Some of the speech is very rude “.
Of these calls, Li Liang’s own estimate was that only three were CDC personnel and police.
One claiming to be from the Hebei CDC, one of those calls rarely made from a landline with a number from Shijiazhuang, called once on the evening of the 13th and once on the morning of the 14th, asking for his personal information, movement trajectory and contact with people, for a total of 45 minutes.
Another person, who claimed to be from the Hohhot CDC, also called from a landline and spoke twice for 30 minutes, then added Li Liang’s WeChat and asked for some photos.
A police officer reported the police number, and Li Liang believed it was true.
When a person claiming to open a hotel in Inner Mongolia called, Li Liang finally could not stand it and asked the other party “how do you know this information about me? “
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. “The other side replied.
The same driver, Zhang Yuan, is Li Liang’s cousin and is a close contact of Li Liang after his diagnosis. His private information was also leaked, and he received dozens of unfamiliar calls.
Zhang Yuan’s phone records show that at 8:50 p.m. on the day Li Liang was transferred to the hospital, he received a call from someone claiming to be from the CDC, asking for his ID information, itinerary and Li Liang’s intersection, for a total of 26 minutes.
A driver from Xinle, Shijiazhuang, sent Zhang Yuan two screenshots of a WeChat group chat, telling him that “your personal information is available in the group”.
The information in the screenshot was “basic information about the confirmed patients in Hebei Gaocheng”, including his and Li Liang’s real names, ID numbers, cell phone numbers and Home addresses, as well as their self-reported recent trajectories, accurate to the phone number of the owner of a hotel where they had stayed.
Li Liang then opened the phone to automatically block unfamiliar numbers function, while closing the search through the phone number to add WeChat friends settings.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
During the interview, Li Liang suddenly remembered that the Alipay account is bound to the cell phone number, although 2020 only used five or six times Taobao, but still hastily open the App to check whether there is no one to steal.
On some short video social platforms, Li Liang and Zhang Yuan’s personal privacy information is still spreading. A video with Li Liang’s personal privacy information has attracted 35,000 plays, unlike the information circulating in the WeChat group, the video is also pasted with Li Liang’s ID card “mug shot The video was also posted with the “mugshot” on Li Liang’s ID card.
The doctor checked the bed and found that Li Liang’s blood pressure was as high as 230mmHg, understanding that he did not have a history of hypertension, prescribed a bottle of antihypertensive medication to him, instructed that “do not be too nervous”, “the new crown is not so terrible”.
Li Liang told reporters that his biggest concern is not the new crown virus, but his own personal privacy information leaked, I do not know if someone will take to do illegal things, the owners see their names and license plates, and later let him pull the goods – they are not ready to lose their jobs.
Li Liang’s big truck is he and Zhang Yuan in 2018 to raise money to buy, “loaned more than 200,000 yuan “, the two of them partner to drive. In Xiaoguozhuang, there are at least 30 drivers who run transportation in big trucks, and they usually call themselves big car drivers.
Before buying a car, Zhang Yuan was also a big car driver, working for other owners as a driver, Li Liang in Shijiazhuang city as a plumber.
2020 New Year, they are happy to pay off the last car loan, “after always can earn a sum is a sum. “Zhang Yuan Family has 3 children, Li Liang family 2 children, their Parents in their fifties and sixties are small fruit Zhuang native farmers, several families live mainly on this big truck.
The past three years, they have gone as far as Hainan, Yunnan, Sichuan, running the most lines is Shijiazhuang to Inner Mongolia. In the official flow of information, December 23 to January 4, their travel trajectory and the big truck’s freight route as monotonous: three round trips between Hebei and Inner Mongolia, loading, delivery, unloading.
Just like not understanding from which link their private information leaked out, Li Liang still doesn’t know how he contracted the new crown pneumonia.
When the outbreak occurred on January 2 in Xiaoguozhuang, Li Liang was driving a truck to deliver goods in Inner Mongolia. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
On the way back, Zhang Yuan heard on WeChat people in his hometown said “closed village “”The road is blocked “. At first, the two of them thought the family was joking, “did not expect to be associated with the Epidemic “.
They have not registered microblogging, not used which news client, the most commonly used software on the phone is a few for truck drivers to send orders APP, as well as WeChat, Crypto.
On January 5, the two unloaded the goods ready to go home, driving to the airport road in Gao Cheng District, found that the road has been closed, the chokepoint has police on duty, they realized that “the epidemic has really arrived at home”.
In the afternoon of the 5th, Shijiazhuang held a working meeting to deal with the new pneumonia epidemic, announcing that all communities and rural areas in the city will be closed-loop control, strict control of aggregation activities, and resolutely avoid piling up and gathering.
At that Time, the highway was not yet fully closed, according to the original plan, they can still do a trip to work. “We are small fruit Zhuang people, or go first to do nucleic acid. “Li Liang and Zhang Yuan discuss.
The truck could not enter Gaocheng, they rendezvoused with another driver from the same village back from Shanxi, and parked the car in an open space by the outer ring road of Gaocheng. The nearest hospital is 18 kilometers away. 3 people did not dare to take a taxi and walked for more than two hours to the hospital.
The nurse at the fever clinic, wearing protective clothing, asked them why they were doing nucleic acid.
“We are from Xiaoguozhuang. ” Zhang Yuan blurted out. The words were like throwing a cannonball at the crowd lined up next to them, scaring them back. Zhang Yuan felt his masked face burning, suddenly thinking that now “Xiao Guo Zhuang “3 words bring discomfort to others.
“We’re not from over there …… we’re from the big car… …” 3 people explained towards the people who had retreated two or three meters away. “We have no symptoms. “
The nurse handed them 3 thermometers and told them to go outside to take their temperature and wait for news. At that time, the weather forecast of the “overwhelming “cold wave has covered the North China plain, in order to avoid “inaccurate temperature measurement “, the three people went to the toilet next to the wind temperature measurement.
Within a few minutes, the nurse came running to take the thermometer and told them not to wait any longer and that they could not do their nucleic acid here today.
“Look at this, we’ve become ‘the plague’ now. “They walked for more than two hours back to the big truck. Zhang Yuan dialed the phone number of the village secretary of Xiaoguozhuang. The village secretary told them to go back to the village and wait for the transfer together.
The parking lot outside the village of Xiaoguozhuang has been parked more than 30 large trucks. The drivers are curled up in the driver’s seat to rest. Zhang Yuan and Li Liang through the window to inquire about the situation, some large cars from the south back empty, “one said Shijiazhuang is not allowed to stay, and then the small fruit Zhuang more not to stay, the goods are not allowed to receive “, “there is a car goods are not unloaded on the return “, losses borne by the driver.
They are worried that in the future, small fruit Zhuang’s big car drivers pulling work will be treated in this way.
200 meters away from the village entrance, there are people in protective clothing on duty, Li Liang saw the family group previously posted in the fence across the middle of the road, one after another bus in and out. more than 1,100 households, more than 4,000 people in the small fruit village, most of the villagers have been transferred to different isolation points in Shijiazhuang.
Village entrance staff on duty in protective clothing to send instant noodles, hot water, so that they wait to take the bus and the rest of the villagers together to the isolation point.
Before the trip, the drivers had their nucleic acid tests done. This nucleic acid test for Li Liang and Zhang Yuan came back negative.
The remaining dozens of villagers are close contacts, in order to avoid contact between the bus driver and the villagers left behind, the village arranged for two buses to send them to a quarantine site in Gaocheng District.
Li Liang and Zhang Yuan recalled that this was the closest contact they had with the villagers after the outbreak in Xiaoguozhuang. At that time, everyone lived in the same floor of the building, in the courtyard by the flower bed to play meals, meals, Li Liang and a villager greeting the closest distance of 1 meter, “are a village “.
This quarantine site without hot water, heating. January 8, they were transferred to another county quarantine site in Shijiazhuang.
From January 11, they were tested for nucleic acid once a day in the morning within the new isolation site. Li Liang and Zhang Yuan’s test results were negative on the 11th and 12th. on the 13th, Li Liang’s result was positive and the diagnosis was subsequently confirmed. Zhang Yuan remains negative to date.
This struck them as odd. Before arriving at the quarantine site, they drove together to deliver, resting in the bunk behind the cab of the big car, eating with a pot they brought to do. There was also a father and son driving together in the village; that father was diagnosed positive and the son’s nucleic acid results have so far been negative.
“Is the incubation period longer? A different body type? Or maybe it’s exposure to something different? “Li Liang and Zhang Yuan both asked doctors and nurses.
The doctor replied that, just like the traceability of this Xiaoguozhuang outbreak, figuring this out needs to be pinned on more epidemiological investigations, “the ones done by the CDC people who called you. “
