Reporter’s Notes | The baby’s “rations” have been resolved, and joint efforts are needed for smooth operation

April 5th, Chongming Yiheng Under the coordination of various parties, the mother and baby store “transformed” into a district-level security supply unit and “re-launched”. Once the news was released, it quickly won attention, applauded and praised.


As a reporter, it can be said that I am this “infant and young children’s supplies guarantee channel”. Witnesses of the birth” also know how difficult it is.

April 4th, the city launched a new round of nucleic acid screening. Chongming followed the requirements of epidemic prevention work. Lockdown again. After the previous round of 4-day lockdown, many families with infants and young children didn’t have time to stock up, and even because some areas were divided into lockdown zones, the lockdown was not lifted at all. For a time, many babies faced the crisis of “running out of food”, and there were constant calls for help.

At the other end, the clerk and the person in charge of the Yiheng Maternity and Baby Store were also locked up at home, but they couldn’t send out the goods when they were in a hurry. During the previous round of “unblocking”, Yiheng Maternal & Baby Store received many orders from new and old customers. It was learned that some families could not go to the store to buy because they were in the lockdown control area. The store owner even used his own private car to deliver to the township crossing. , and then the volunteers “relay” the delivery. Because the Chongming area is long and narrow and the demand is large, even if it is delivered to midnight every day for 3 consecutive days, it will only complete the delivery from Chengqiao to Chenjia Town. “There is a family who has already used rice dew and coconut milk instead of milk powder to feed the baby. How can this be done? Can you bring us the remaining few tubes of milk powder?” The store manager asked us for help late at night.

Help with “carrying goods” may be able to solve one or two problems, but what about more families? Thinking of this, we reported this problem to the district economic committee. Unexpectedly, the relevant person in charge immediately said that they must help open this channel and solve the baby’s needs.

But it’s a long way to go It’s not as simple as imagined. The epidemic prevention situation is severe. Who will guarantee the safety of the store staff, and who will be responsible if there is a problem? How to set up purchasing channels and how to meet the needs of more families with limited resources? In special times, everyone is cautious about epidemic prevention work. “Many issues require cross-line, cross-township, and multi-department consultation. I am also a mother, and I understand that anxiety.” The person in charge of promoting this work told reporters.

The implementation of a new initiative is inseparable from the efforts of many people. Especially under the epidemic, some people may be moving forward with a heavy load. The opening of the Chongming Maternity and Baby Products Guarantee Platform was originally intended to protect the families of infants and young children who really need and urgently need them.Family, can buy baby products smoothly, instead of “everyday stockpiling”. However, in the official operation, there are new “troubles”. Due to the limited materials and personnel, the volunteers who guarantee the transportation of goods have limited ability to “purchase on behalf of others” and cannot fully meet the needs of parents and mothers; community cadres and volunteers often have multiple jobs and usually undertake other epidemic prevention work , unable to pick up the goods in time… I call on everyone to think more from each other’s shoes, and have more communication and understanding.

At present, Shanghai is facing a severe test. The epidemic in Shanghai is in a critical period of racing against time and fighting the virus. No one can be alone. Under the epidemic, it is not only the “selection and appointment of talents” and the responsibilities of cadres, but also whether each of us has the determination and confidence to work together to overcome the difficulties.

In the battle to defend Chongming baby’s “rations”, there are shopkeepers who are enthusiastic and helpful, and there are communities that work day and night Workers and volunteers, there are a group of good leaders and cadres who are anxious about the needs of the masses, take a step forward, and have the courage to undertake. I hope that their busyness will bring more affirmation and encouragement. In the battle against the epidemic, each of us is a participant, not a bystander.
