Huasheng Online, December 23, at the entrance to the pharmacy, an eighteen or nineteen year old girl was shivering in the sun because she was unwell, with a look ready to cry. She said that she had a fever and went to different pharmacies but she could not buy fever medicine. Wrap yourself tightly and say that you will not enter the shop when it is sunny, for fear of infection… On December 16, looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Kai decided to do his best to help those in need.
Disassemble the medicine and deliver it for free to those in need
As the number of patients infected with the new coronavirus increases, many infected patients experience symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat and limb weakness. Ibuprofen, which has the function of relieving pain and reducing fever, has become a situation where “one medicine is hard to find”. Many residents have misconceptions about buying medicines and feel it is safe to stock up on more. In fact, many infected people can successfully reduce fever by taking two or three antipyretic pills. It is quite useless to accumulate a large number of medicines, which makes it difficult for others to buy medicines.
Chen Kai saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. “I heard that many people went to many pharmacies and could not buy the medicines. To prevent medical resources from being hoarded and wasted, I think it doesn’t matter if I earn less. I disassemble the medicines and give them to those in need for free.”
“No queues, no gatherings, no consumption thresholds, please wear a mask when entering the store and get it for free!” On December 17, after posting a notice in the Minyue Pharmacy customer WeChat group, he came to the pharmacy to collect ibuprofen. The population is increasing day by day. In order to reduce queues and gatherings of residents and ensure that people come at any time and medicines are available at any time, Chen Kai and the pharmacy staff work from 8 to 22 every day and are so busy that ” they don’t touch the ground.”
“As long as there are medicines in the future, they will continue to be distributed free of charge”
Working in a pharmacy, contact with the virus is inevitable. Within days, employees were “recruited” to go home and rest. Chen Kai and his wife Deng Tingfang took precautions and stayed in the shop. “I’m tired and want to rest, but I’m afraid some people won’t be able to get the medicine quickly.” In addition to handing out free ibuprofen, the store sells cold medicines, thermometers, and other anti-epidemic drug supplies to residents at purchase price.
“The purchase price of many medicines has risen now. At this time, we are embarrassed to raise the price, so we simply sell them to those in need at the purchase price,” said Deng Tingfang with a smile. consider whether or not to make money at special times, but just want to do their best Efforts to alleviate the emergency medical needs of the residents, “this is also our responsibility.”
Over the past 7 days, many residents living nearby have received free ibuprofen. “I’ve sent over 7,000 ibuprofen tablets and haven’t had time to check the details yet.” Deng Tingfang told reporters that as long as there is stock, it will continue to be distributed free of charge. as long as everyone works together, the spring “epidemic” will soon disappear.”
