Most residents of Tonghua, the hardest hit area of the outbreak in Jilin province, have been confined to their homes for more than 10 days, some for more than half a month.

A nursing home in Tonghua was closed even earlier, a staff member said that it was closed around New Year’s Day, “We closed it on New Year’s Day, it seems, a bit forgetful, because it’s been too long. Because at that time, the pharmacy did not allow the sale of drugs is how, finished we gave closed.”

The price is definitely expensive, the price of food is definitely expensive, like eggs in terms of, now 7 yuan seems to be, before the normal is more than 3 yuan or more than 4 yuan, I kind of forget, because the time is too long.”

The staff member said that due to the closure, the nursing home can not accept new elderly people to move in, prices rise leading to higher costs and expenses, the income of the nursing home has also been affected. “Now there is this situation, the benefits must not be very good, you think outside the children’s market room has been closed, it can be profitable? It is also not profitable ah. We are also ah, a closed, the staff can not come in, is to want to pension on this can not come in, the income is less chanting.

Because of the unsealing matter is also quite disturbing, you say can not be anxious? We also want to unblock it as soon as possible, we all feel the same.”

Some netizens also said that the unsealing is far away and is about to collapse. “The 17th day of the centralized quarantine, at first said 14 days, to 14 days called and said it became 21 days, and then it became 21 + 7 days, asked which day to put out said do not know, asked what is not known and so on notice, the mentality collapsed #Jilin epidemic.”

Many land media reported today that the Communist Party’s imperial expert Zhong Nanshan said that the epidemic in Jilin, Hebei and Heilongjiang will be largely controlled in early February. In response, a northeastern netizen said.

“Northeast of this orphan does not believe, on this state are no other provinces to support? Northeast really white support for foreign provinces.”

“People who are not in the epidemic area can not experience the feeling of sealing the city, feel that the country is also turning a blind eye, the situation is now more desperate than last year, but also feel the fact that the Northeast is not taken seriously”

“Other places epidemic central rescue, northeast epidemic northeast rescue, Heilongjiang epidemic by their own hard resistance.” The netizen message was followed by three sealed-mouth emoticons.

According to official information, Tonghua City Square Cabin Hospital was officially opened at 6:25 p.m. on Jan. 30. The square cabin hospital is within 48 hours of the transformation is completed. Officially, it is called the “Square Cabin Rehabilitation Hospital” and said that the first batch of seven patients were discharged from Tonghua Central Hospital. But because the Chinese Communist Party has a history of opaque information, outsiders suspect that the authorities are actually rushing to build the hospital because of the seriousness of the epidemic.

Previously, a netizen posted a video revealing that the square-cabin hospital in Tonghua was converted from a basketball hall at the Tonghua National Fitness Center, with only 1 meter of space between beds and a partition only about 1 meter high. The man who shot the video said, “Tonghua’s old iron, this place I hope that no one should come. Protect yourself. Go!”
