    Since the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020, Shanghai had enjoyed huge success in balancing infection control and quality of life. Mass screening and lockdowns were a rare sight in China’s most populous city. But that success story came to an abrupt end when the Omicron variant outpaced the city’s responses in March 2022.

      For comparison, first world countries that chose to live with COVID, such is the US has about 20% GDP made up of manufacturing. So no, they don’t care even if their entire production got paralyzed, but it is fatal for China and the rest of the world, since China makes everything.

Conclusion from the SH lockdown, the authority human being is more fearful than the virus itself.

    Crisis may be an understatement at this point. I've had nightmares about this for two nights in a row. I used to live two hours from Shanghai and have been to that city numerous times. This is incomprehensible to me. I feel so anxious and afraid for these residents and wonder if anyone I have known personally is among those locked inside or being forced into a quarantine centre.
    I live in Germany now. In November 2020, the gov't announced a hard lockdown that was only supposed to last two weeks. Instead, it lasted 6 months. Then in September 2021, the gov't became a bit heavy-handed about vaccine passes. Now they've relaxed this as well. But at no point during their harshest restrictions did they stop people from going to the supermarket or to restaurants to order takeaway. They certainly never forced anyone to stay indoors.
    I think the state of Victoria (Australia) imposed a strict lockdown similar to Shanghai's, and this moved dangerously close to violating human rights. But from my understanding, nobody in Victoria was denied medical care/treatment. And those who were locked down were still able to get their food and medicine delivered without too much disruption, to my knowledge at least. The behaviour of the gov't in Shanghai right now is utterly reprehensible.

      Aussie here from Vic, our premier did aim from 0 elimination and was successful for more than half a year until Omicron hit our shores. Our other states except NSW was against it because it's a Liberal state. (Money over people). It's not violating human rights, our death rates are one of the lowest in the world. When hospitals denies medical treatments it means they are overwhelmed and it did happen here. Idiots who did not follow Covid safety protocols were killing people indirectly, they take up the hospital beds so other people died for their selfishness. This happened in the US too, most people were told to go home or was told to wait at home and some do die from serious chronic conditions or accidents. China's safety protocol may seem harsh but it's the only country putting their elderly, sick or young people as priority. As an immune compromised person, I can say this put people like me at ease and it also tells me that I matter.

After news came out, someone release a video that he shotted: the delivery guy deliberately open each take away and touch the food with his hand. And this guy was later test positive.

    That all changed in 2021, only Vietnam had its worser than China today because at that time we were not vaccinated yet. We had to lock down our main city for a month due to low vaccination rate but no where as strict as China.
    We paid the price in total death from one of the lowest in the world to currently within top 20 countries with the most death(40k). But we emegered from it quite well I would have to say, due to the fact that we knew when to abandon zero-covid policy.

      The more embarrassed the government feels about how they handled this, the more they will gaslight and blame the citizens. It's very abusive. It's called saving face.

    It makes me compare the situation in my own country, where I thought our government were half-heartedly handling the covid cases it made me angry. Yet here, I could see how their government takes this case too seriously to the point hurting their people themselves. I really don't know which one is better, or both are bad? 😶 Either way it is a sad situation, I hope everything gets better in the future.
