口罩,文明。。。

圆子的口罩到了昨天下午到的。抽空拆了外包装,消毒了内包装后,就去了趟医院接受捐赠的地方,没人,也没东西,打个电话确认每天下午三点有人去收。准备一会儿再去。

知道大家都在家做口罩,给其他一线的人和老人院。上网看视频,微信请教朋友,再把十几年没用过,在包装箱里睡了六七年大觉的缝纫机找出来,居然还发现了当年买的一些布。。忙里偷闲做了第一个口罩。。嗯,还需要改进一些,这样一来周末和晚上都有事可做了!

老大说她订了别人自己做的口罩,已经把北京寄给她的医用口罩送给医护人员和更需要的人了。她说,如果一线和更需要的人都没有那些口罩戴,让她戴的话,她会觉得非常guilty。我太理解她了。

今天看到这篇文章,感谢在家隔离的作者。。。

这里只是抄录了其中几段

Years ago, the anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about clay pots, tools for hunting, grinding-stones, or religious artifacts.

But no. Mead said that the first evidence of civilization was a 15,000 years old fractured femur found in an archaeological site. A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. This particular bone had been broken and had healed.

。。。

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that another person has taken time to stay with the fallen, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended them through recovery. A healed femur indicates that someone has helped a fellow human, rather than abandoning them to save their own life.

“Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts,” Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can’t change the world; For, indeed, that's all who ever have.”
