Nucleic acid samplers at high temperature: It is not convenient to drink water during the day, and go home at night to eat the entire watermelon

The past 47 days

Russell's life is closely linked to a slender sample dress

On May 30, at the press conference of the Shanghai Epidemic Prevention and Control Work, it was mentioned that the current single -day testing capacity of Shanghai has reached more than 8.5 million, and the normalized nucleic acid sampling point is about 15,000. The huge number of points conflict with scarce of medical workers, and part -time nucleic acid samplers such as Russell should be born.

In May this year, he successfully completed the training and officially became a nucleic acid sample. At 7 o'clock in the morning, wearing a white protective clothing, mask and two -layer medical gloves, Russell blends into the Shanghai nucleic acid testing point, becoming a part of the city's anti -epidemic work.

Recently, Russell found that his work has become more difficult. The work rotates, and his rotation is at the point where there is no sentiment. The full outdoor environment makes the impervious protective clothing more sullen, and the only small fan blows out the hot air. At this time, Shanghai has issued a high -temperature warning signal for 4 consecutive days. When washing his hands from get off work, Russell found that the sweat on his hand was already wet and dry, and the salt precipitated from the sweat was very obvious.

The salary signed on a monthly basis does not have rumors that "daily income thousand yuan" and "monthly income exceeds 10,000". High -density and high -intensity screening work also put forward higher requirements for the physical fitness of the sampler.

In hot weather, nucleic acid sample seems to have become a kind of "physical work". "For residents, it is a difficult time at this time; for nucleic acid detectors, this is also the hardest moment for nucleic acid testing."

Russell 34 -year -old nucleic acid sampler

Although I grew up in Wuhan, I have a lower sensitivity to the heat, but I can't stand the high temperature of Shanghai recently.

I have been participating in the sampling of nucleic acid for 47 days. For more than a month, I rotated 8 points in Jing'an District. Pavilions that have stayed in various conditions before. These days, I have been assigned to a community. A plastic shed, a table and two chairs are all guaranteed. Although the community provides a fan, it is useless. At noon, the temperature at noon can successfully heat the meals I brought.

In order to avoid heat stroke, our work was adjusted to the time of the afternoon. The protective clothing is not breathable. I put on the lustrous basketball vest around my body, but it will be soaked in the whole body without starting to work.

During the day of wearing a protective clothing, you can't eat or drink water toilets. People with insufficient physical strength may be collapsed for two hours. Today (6th) work is also sweating. When I came back in the evening, I bought a half -pound watermelon and ate half, and half of them later ate.

This is the eighth year I came to Shanghai. Before being a nucleic acid sampler, I have not been exposed to the medical industry. I am a full -time self -media blogger, and the last job was a ritual of the Heping Hotel responsible for receiving tourists. These seem to be far from the detection of nucleic acid.

But I am a person who likes to try very much and is willing to find the possibility of different occupations. The earliest concern was that the profession of nucleic acid detectors was in March this year, and I especially wanted to be volunteers. On the one hand, self -media is a less stable job, and income cannot cover my usual cost. On the other hand, I feel that I am young and strong, the risk of infection is low, and the self -healing ability should be volunteers. Because I was paying attention to the international news of the epidemic very early, I was not so strong about Omikon Rong. I think that if young people are willing to be volunteers, the city's recovery must be faster.

In the closure of April, I started looking for volunteer positions. I tried to dial 12345, directly consult the community, but I was rejected at the time. Until April 28, I saw the article "Shanghai Jing'an" published an article on "Recruitment Order of the Evil Sampling Assistant Volunteers of Jing'an District".

In my character, self -confidence occupies a large part. Although there is no professional background in the professional, when I see the volunteer recruitment order, I decided to sign up immediately. This is a work that requires skills, and I believe in my learning ability.

Therefore, after filling in "Whether to vaccinate the new crown vaccine", "physical health", "whether there is a medical professional background" and basic information, I was allowed to enter the second round of screening.

At that time, the exams were online and offline. First of all, we must complete the study of video release in the group and conduct a written test of online professional knowledge. The topics of the main exams are "how to deal with medical waste" and "how to disinfect the nucleic acid sampling". At that time, my score was 78 points and was notified of the written test. Subsequently, the medical unit and the streets were connected to conduct a one -day offline practical training. Practical training mainly teaches some technical content, focusing on wearing and taking off protective clothing and nucleic acid samples.

There are about three or five hundred people who register, but they will not have more than one hundred people in the end. Their occupations are also very rich, including nursing homes, employees of Internet companies, and teachers who cannot enter the school. Some companies do not have the conditions for home and office, they will choose to make nucleic acid sample volunteers.

After passing offline training on May 21, I went to a major nucleic acid screening in the area. But on the second day of work, the upstairs of my apartment building also appeared positive, and I had to be "locked in" again.

It was not until June 1 that I was completely unblocked that I re -invested the job. The position is divided into auxiliary positions and sampling positions. After completing the auxiliary position for a week and after being screened again, I officially became a nucleic acid sampling person on June 7 and also got the volunteer's documents. Many people will worry about the professionalism of part -time nucleic acid testers, but according to my observation, it is not difficult to master nucleic acid detection. As long as the principle of infection of the virus is understood, you can accurately grasp the intention and part of the test. For example, many test personnel choose to brush on both sides of the teeth. This is actually wrong. The new coronal virus will be contaminated at the throat mucosa near the tonsil, so it should be deeper.

At that time, the recruitment order wrote that the service period was three to six months, but the contract we signed was settled on a monthly basis. Wages are not as high as rumors. The salary of nucleic acid samplers is mainly composed of two parts, conventional duty and large screening. The regular duty is to work in the sentry box, and the salary is 50 yuan an hour; the large screen is community or street screening, settlement by a day, 200 yuan a day. Just two days ago, I received a salary of June, about 8,000 yuan, which was hard -working.

At the beginning, our work was outdoors. The somatosensory temperature was 345 degrees Celsius. After taking off the protective clothing, we found that the sleeves were not sweaty, but the granular salt precipitated by sweat. Later, the sentry box was built, which was slightly better in the air conditioner. Although it was not breathable, it was at least not hot.

Because of excessive sweating, Russell has already made salt grains on his hands. Interviewee confidence

But there are also happiness. One day, the coffee shop next door gave us a free coffee, and the aunt who worked together took a drink to me ...

My working hours have undergone several changes. From the beginning of the 24 hours of uninterrupted 8 hours, the three -hour pour, to the 8 hours daily, and the daily fixed opening 6 hours, the working hours are slowly shortening -this also means that the monthly income is gradually decreased Essence I hope that the epidemic will end quickly and conventional nucleic acid testing should not exist for a long time, and I hope I can find a long -term stable job. Occupations such as nucleic acid testers do not know how long it can last. After that, I would also return to the original pace of life and work hard to make money.
