'Yesterday, I helped to coordinate the medical supplies to be transported to the hospitals. Before the traffic police was clearly sure whether we could be discharged according to the new restriction of vehicles in Wuhan (editor’s note: since 26 Jan, Wuhan has implemented a 'restriction of vehicles', banning all means of transport except for the permitted logistical vehicles), a friend of mine had sent all the supplies to the hospital hurriedly.
After completing the task, I quit the group. Later I found out they (group members) had a fight. The supplies were all taken by the cadres. The medical practitioners could not get anything.
What I could do is just to ask the related people for this matter to move on after lodging a complaint. After complaining, we should reserve our strength for something else. I realised later on that it was not the only case. I have attached some screencaps, showing someone who had also encountered similar issues, and I don't know them.
I have asked my friend to report on this case already. I speak up because I hope there would be an improvement on the overall planning and the distribution of supplies. The collaboration among the people should be just a matter of expediency. I hope these chaotic situations are just temporary before heading to the right track. It is understood that the senior staff members do have a need on the supplies, but we would like to put the frontline medical practitioners as our first priority. If the management do not set a good example, things might be fallen into the "Tacitus Trap", which would be a big trouble.'
'The protective suits of our hospital had been expired. The seniors said it’s okay, the expired suits could still be used.
Comment: It is very common. Also, some doctors would wear adult nappies to prevent the need of changing protective suits after going to the toilet. I have seen donations of nappies to the doctors. It is hard to imagine how the female doctors could survive through their menstruation.
Comment: Yes, I heard that some stocks were from 2003 when SARS happened.”

'That’s sick. On the registration form of the "collection of masks of different departments", the number of masks taken by the administration departments is much higher than that of the clinical departments. Some people from the executive departments even complained in IM groups that they were denied for requests to get extra masks for their families. And often seen in such groups are some photos with management members wearing N95 masks when visiting the doctors and nurses in the hospitals in surgical masks only. Shame on them.
Comment: Bureaucracy is such a monster.
Comment: Haha. Don't know if I ask people at Douban (a Chinese social platform) to donate masks to hospitals whether there will any response. I'd better not ask, as I have no clue how many of the donated masks could be used by the frontline staff of the hospital.
Comment: It’s a structural problem ”

'It is the same for Wuhan Hospital No.5. Individual donation is not allowed. Those who receive donations privately would be permanently suspended. All the donations of preventive supplies were taken by the hospital, but nothing was disseminated to any the frontline medical practitioners. I am so angry, together with my friends, we have reported the case.
Comment: That’s the most terrifying issue. The so-called "improvement" is just to "forbid doctors to receive donations individually, otheriwse there shall be punishment". However, the doctors couldn’t receive any supplies eventually. How could it be?
Comment: Then they should accept the donated protective gears. If the hospital dare to suspend the doctors, there would be nobody to work anymore.'
