首先,为用生命预警的李文亮医生表示哀悼!


李文亮于2020年2月6日晚在重症监护室去世

界面新闻从李文亮同学处获悉,他于2020年2月6日晚在重症监护室去世。据李文亮同学介绍,他的病情一度好转,但近几日忽然加重。

2019年12月30日下午,身为武汉市中心医院眼科医生的李文亮,在同学群中发布了一条关于华南海鲜市场疫情的信息。2020年1月3日,他因“在互联网上发布不实言论”而被辖区派出所提出警示和训诫。1月8日,李文亮在接诊时遇到不明原因的病毒性肺炎患者并受到感染。1月10日,李文亮出现咳嗽发热等症状,随后病情变得严重。2月1日,李文亮确诊为新型冠状病毒。此外,他的多名同事和父母也感染了新型冠状病毒肺炎。

纪念他,点击:为众人抱薪者,却在风雪中挣扎……

昨天,中国外交部发言人在记者就各国向中方提供援助的最新情况的提问时,感谢了一大批给予中国援助的国家。


细心的网友很快发现,这个名单里没有美国。


武汉新型冠状病毒的疫情还在持续蔓延,而自疫情爆发以来,美方也多次表示要对中国的疫情提供帮助。中国也曾在较早前多次向美方通报了相关情况。很多信息显示,其实从第一时间开始,中美双方就曾就病毒研究、医疗援助、物资援助等方面展开过讨论。美方也在持续不断地公布相关消息。

美国政府的第二批撤侨飞机,携带援助中国的医疗物资于北京时间2月4日晚间抵达疫情爆发的中心城市武汉。2月5日,美国国务卿蓬佩奥在推特上对美方为抗击疫情提供的协助表示“自豪”。

他的推文说:“我们迅速地协助将捐助的救命个人防护装备及医疗和人道主义援助物资运往中国受新型冠状病毒影响的人们,我为此感到骄傲。感谢慷慨的美国各组织机构对援助行动进行捐助。”


美国驻华大使馆也在微博上转述了美国国务院发言人奥特葛斯在推特上发表的原话,同时也表述了美国驻华大使特里·布兰斯塔德的心声。


据中国社会科学院责任云研究院统计,截至2月5日,已有上百家家外资企业捐赠物资及现金,美国、中国香港、韩国、印度尼西亚、英国的企业捐赠额暂居前列。美国企业的对华援助远远高于其他国家的企业。


截至2月2日,通过中国社会科学院责任云研究院的统计,这188家在疫情中向中国捐款的境外企业,美国公司占58家,占比31%。如果除去41家港澳台公司,只计算其他国家的公司,那么美国公司占比接近40%。


那么,美国在本次疫情中,对中国的帮助有多少呢?

1月28日,总部设在美国加州的非营利组织“直接救济组织”(Direct Relief)向武汉紧急运送了超过二十万个口罩,直接救济的货物还包括隔离服、防疫工作服和检查手套。该批物资于1月31日下午送到了武汉协和医院和孝感市中心医院。

包括捐助者以及受助者的多个消息证实,物资费用全部由美国非盈利组织“直接救济组织”支出,国际运费则由美国联邦快递(Fedex)承担,国内运费由中国邮政承担,而武汉大学北加校友会以及华中科技大学北加校友会则协助了这次捐赠。



比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会向中国提供500万美元紧急赠款,并提供相应的技术和专家支持,用于帮助中国相关合作伙伴加速在新型冠状病毒感染的流行病学、应急干预实施和医药产品研发等方面的工作。

随后,在2月5日承诺投入最高1亿美元赠款,用于支持世界卫生组织、中国相关机构以及其他国际和国家层面的相关机构共同应对2019新型冠状病毒疫情。


霍尼韦尔公司捐赠价值100万美元的物资,支持武汉医院抗击新型冠状病毒。捐赠物资包括空净和水净产品、ICU空气管理系统,以及针对医院管理的扫描、打印设备,另外还包括赠予武汉学校的霍尼韦尔儿童萌宠口罩。


3M公司调配现有的所有库存资源,捐赠包括80箱医用口罩、1330箱防护口罩及洗手液在内的共计价值超过700万元的疫情防控物资。


波音公司将向中国捐赠25万个医用口罩,以协助解决中国医疗用品供应短缺的问题。 这些物资将直接捐赠给湖北省武汉市和浙江省舟山市的地方医疗机构。


惠氏公司向中国红十字基金会“惠泽基金”紧急捐赠款物总价值2700万元,主要为抗击疫情购买医疗用品,以及为受疫情影响地区的医护人员和妈妈们提供营养支持保障。


通用电气公司捐助价值2000万元人民币医疗物资及现金,支持疫区抗击疫情。其中包括1000万元人民币专项资金,用于购买新型冠状病毒肺炎疫区急需的医疗物资及满足疫区部分紧急现金需求。以及向武汉红十字基金会确认捐助价值1000万元人民币的医疗设备, 用于支持疫情诊治工作。


高通公司向相关组织捐款700万元人民币,支持新型冠状病毒感染肺炎疫情的防控工作。


安利公司于1月26日捐赠首批100万元通用防疫物资,供武汉市各定点医院使用。随后在1月31日向武汉市慈善总会紧急捐赠第二批价值1000万元的通用防疫物资。


百威公司向武汉市汉阳区慈善会捐赠1000万元款物,包括人民币现金500万元,价值400万元的医疗物资,以及价值100万元的应急纯净水。


特斯拉公司捐助500万元人民币专项资金,用于协助中国支持疾控中心以及其他机构应对本次疫情。


除了以上企业,还有雅培、苹果、百事、麦当劳、福特、星巴克等众多美国企业,支援中国打赢新型冠状病毒疫情防控阻击战,就不一一列举了。当然,除了美国,还有许多的外资企业也都在做一些力所能及的事情。

作为中国人,我想我们需要对包括美企在内的所有境外公司表示感谢。中国古话常常说“知恩感恩”。这次病毒肆虐,让我们看到了危难时刻的人心。到底谁是朋友,谁不是。谁关心你,谁不关心。谁把你的命当回事。

美国对中国对医疗援助很早,早在100多年前的1915年,美国洛克菲勒基金会收购北京协和医学堂,并投入巨资,按照美国约翰霍普金斯大学医学院的模式,正式设立北京协和医学院和北京协和医院。协和医学院是中国第一家八年制医学本科的医学院。




上世纪20年代,协和医学院就已经是全球最好的医学院。30-40年代,中国一流综合性大学的医学院院长,无一例外,均系协和医学院毕业,为中国的医学现代化和公共卫生事业培养了大量人才。协和在被日军占领之前,培养出了315名医学博士,263名高级护士。这些人绝大多数成为后来医学教育界和公共卫生领域的领军人物。


协和医学院,是美国洛克菲勒基金会过去100多年里,全球最大单笔投资项目,总共耗资4500万美元,按实际购买力计算,相当于今天10亿美金。

其实,美国对中国的帮助,连毛泽东都不忌讳谈。


“即使你们的美国士兵不作积极宣传,但只要他们出现并同中国人接触,就会产生好的影响。正因为这个缘故,我们欢迎他们在中国。国民党却不是这样,它需要把他们加以隔离,不让他们知道事情的真相。……国民党却担心大量美国人在中国的影响。

(以上毛泽东原话摘自《党史通讯》1983年20期《毛主席谈美国民主》)

话说回来,在中美关系中,我们一定要看到那些让我们感动、给我们帮助的例子。许多媒体天天说宣传“正能量”,然而对两个大国关系中的“正能量”却往往视而不见,更有甚者,一些媒体还试图回避或者歪曲,变成“负能量”,这是很不符合中央的宣传政策的。

日前,由华盛顿华侨华人志愿者募集的医用物资已经从纽约运抵中国。这批2.4万个医用口罩、价值超过9.5万美元的医用物资由华盛顿地区的华人志愿者平台筹集。


1月30日美国20多个州的华人华侨自发募捐的符合国内使用标准的口罩、防护服、护目镜等7.9万余套防疫物资,通过美国康尼航空K4986航班747货机降落苏南硕放机场。


1月31日美籍华裔篮球运动员林书豪联手李群,向湖北省青少年发展基金会捐赠人民币100万,同时也将发动全员募集并采购疫情防控应急物资。


2月5日美籍华人创立企业Peak Momentum在当地采购了50箱1250套杜邦TYVEK800进口医用防护服,涉资近3万美元,捐赠给上海市公共卫生临床中心用于抗击肺炎疫情。也是迄今上海接收的最大一单海外华人企业捐赠的防疫物资。


包括以上在内的还有众多在美华人同胞、美国的企业的对中国抗疫的帮助,我们要长久记得。


西洋君前几天在一个群里看到了令人难过的一幕,一个美籍华人给国内捐助口罩、捐助器材,然后一个群友转发了一篇阴谋论文章,大意是说病毒是美国制造的。这位几天没睡觉的美籍华人非常伤心。“我们一边援助还要一边挨骂?我们先投毒再援助你们,我们是吃饱了太撑吗?”说完退群了。


国与国之间的交往,与人与人之间的交往差不太多。别人过去帮过你,平时也帮助过你,那就多念着点别人的好。谁家还没个三灾八难的,谁也不可能一辈子都一帆风顺。别人帮了你,说一句“谢谢”不丢人,这是个基本素养的事儿。我们将心比心,你今天口罩用完了,邻居送了你几个,然后你一句“谢谢”都没有,你觉得下次邻居还会理你吗?想通这个事儿,有那么难吗?

江湖上有句话说,出门靠朋友。我们从幼儿园丢手绢儿开始,就在交朋友。人这一辈子都在交朋友。你是觉得“交朋友”更重要还是“骂敌人”更重要?更何况,这个敌人要看怎么界定。《鹿鼎记》里面有个刘一舟,是方怡的男朋友。这个人呢,一上来就觉得韦小宝是他的敌人,但几次都是韦小宝救了他的命。他还是对韦小宝天天骂骂咧咧的。最后他女朋友觉得他太忘恩负义了,这样的男人不能要。其实波普尔早就说过,那谁谁谁一开始就错了,我们都在找朋友,但他在找敌人。


大灾大难面前,敌人不重要,朋友才重要。

最后,我们来说令大家比较宽心的事情吧。

就是新药瑞德西韦,这个事这两天观潮君已推送了好几天内容,其中有根本推不出来的,也有被叉叉的。



大家注意哈,报纸里面用词是“跨国药企”,不是“美国药企”,我也不知道这样的小心思在糊弄谁,有啥用,好像大家都不知道这是一家美国企业似的。


▲瑞德西韦结构式对比

当地时间2月5日,美国吉利德科学公司公开了一段会议视频,公开回应中国武汉病毒研究所将吉利德科学公司实验药德西韦申请发明专利事件,并表示在2016年就已经就该化合物以及针对冠状病毒的用途在全球申请了专利,也包括中国,但是中国的申请还有待批准。

关于这一条内容,请看今天第二条推送:关于武汉病毒所专利,吉利德回应:患者第一!

今天泛城资本的陈伟星也在微博上披露,他遇到了瑞德西韦的研发部门负责人。并有明确了消息,经钟南山院士建言,中央已经决定采用同情用药的方式直接给患者用药,不再等待临床三期。


瑞德西韦是让我们在新冠状病毒阴霾笼罩下看到的新曙光,在等待特效药物问世的同时,我们需要积极做好自我防护、切断病毒传播途径,相信最终我们能取得这场斗争的胜利。

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education. There was another reason that Joanne was balky about signing the adoption papers. Her father was about to die, and she planned to marry Jandali soon after. She held out hope, she would later来源:小兵说天下
