Trapped in Manchuria

To shoot video in Manzhouli, more than 11:00 p.m. the day before yesterday by plane to the city, yesterday morning, a sleep up directly closed city, not to say closed city but anyway, the highway and railroads do not let in and out, by plane to get nucleic acid proof, although and Shanghai by cell precision control can not be compared but understandable.

This is the first time I’ve been to the Manzhouli City People’s Hospital to do nucleic acid testing, the line is not long, mostly foreigners, mainly Harbin over the business trip, all want to rush to catch the plane, the front is only ten people results dilly-dallying two hours did not give the test finished, Manzhouli suddenly happened less manpower, also understandable.

But I do not quite understand, not to say within three days to finish the check? Wasn’t it a time crunch? Why is it that as soon as it’s 11 o’clock, you’re told to come back in the afternoon after work? I came to the hospital before two o’clock with the door open, it was more than ten degrees below zero and did not open the door, at 2:30 someone was too cold to handle the call to the hospital to ask when to go to work, the hospital said that foreigners have to go to the fever clinic to test, the wrong place (not in the morning and in the morning is in the infection department to test), I hesitated and did not dare to go, because the designated admission of fever patients is also here, but many people still go to the fever clinic to line up again.

What would have happened if I had been able to get a test at the fever clinic? So you can take the report and fly? Not really! Manchuria itself sealed off the terminal, not the airport, but the terminal! You bought a flight that takes off and lands normally in Manchuria, it just doesn’t pull you in! When I asked the airport security officer who the plane was for, he said he didn’t know. As a result, the tickets are not refundable, and the airline did not check any documents.

I think it, either it is anxious, quickly test, heroic moment nap can not sleep, or it is not anxious, slowly to pass, no one say three days test finished, no one let people fever outpatient queue to go.

Either you stop the flight, honestly say the city is closed, or you let the nucleic acid proof on the plane, now this airborne airborne can not return tickets for what?

I’ve been trying to contact them all day, but maybe the airport is too big and the phone seems to be far away from people.

It’s not easy to stay in a hotel day after day, and they are moving out of the more upscale hotels such as Shangri-La and Suwa Hotel one after another.

But now many hotels do not dare to accept foreigners, the local audience said that there are vacant apartments for me to live, but except for me I guess there are not many people in small and medium-sized cities across the country are willing to help, -20 degrees Celsius weather on the streets of these friends how to do?

It’s not the biggest problem, you can’t afford it, and safety is the first priority, but I’ve already had a friend get out of a hotel. The epidemic prevention department phone is not too good to call, after getting through to ask what to do answer the suggestion to find a small point farther not too strict broken hotel to live. As a foreigner, we feel that this is not too good for the local control of Manzhouli, and did not dare to do it.

The most important thing is that many important phone calls basically can not get through, we very much doubt that there is a normal channel for epidemic-related issues feedback, which is more important to the local Manzhouli people than to us. Insufficient staff, local priorities, the overall situation for us to understand, to leave a person to answer the phone or spend ten minutes to us dozen people to say what to do on the line.

The above are everyone’s experience, nothing more, we really do not want to add to the good situation, and we are already a small group of outsiders, know the priorities, to give a reassurance.

I personally had no problem with the New Year in Manchuria, and the planes took off and landed as if they were UFOs. Other friends can testify that the above is not a rumor. The various big numbers also account for, there is a plan.
