During the New Year period, not only Wuhan was put on pause, various places implemented lockdowns of different scales.
Even the Chaoshan Region, known nationwide for its rich New Year atmosphere, lacked the usual celebrations and lion dances.
Everyone followed the organization's instructions, patiently stayed at home, and avoided unnecessary outings to not complicate epidemic prevention efforts.
At this time, foreign media reported the mystery surrounding 8,250 ventilators, which became a hot topic of discussion.
These days, thanks to explanations from the Health Commission and influencers, people are aware of the role ventilators play in treating acute respiratory syndrome.
Inflammation causes lung failure, making it hard to breathe normally, so ventilators take over the breathing process, allowing patients to fight infections and eventually recover.
