People have been fighting against COVID-19 for over two years. Since it broke out, many people have been living in fear. However, some people turn pale at the mention of "people from epidemic (有疫情的) areas", and some even make verbal attacks (言语攻击) on them.
Ding Baixing, a doctor at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, has seen this himself. He treated a suspected (疑似的) patient Chen who traveled from Wuhan where people were fighting against COVID-19 hard. He worried that they would be afraid of him.
Zhao, a 20-year-old girl from Chengdu, was infected (感染) with COVID-19 in December, 2020. Someone exposed (曝光) her personal information online. Many people made verbal attacks on her, which hurt her a lot.
However, the real enemy is the virus not the patients. "The virus doesn't respect (尊重) nationality. Anybody can be infected," said Lee Hsien Loong, Singaporean Prime Minister.
It is not the patients' fault that they have been infected. There is no reason to blame (责备) them. "Protecting them is just as important as protecting ourselves," Ding said.
