To understand the fiasco of China's epidemic prevention, please read these reports:

To know what has happened in Shangai since March, 2022, watch these videos: youtu.be/DGL29gU_I8o , youtu.be/HQxJBhR5ZzU, and read these stories: www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/business/shanghai-xinjiang-chi..., www.nytimes.com/2022/05/13/business/china-zero-covid-xi.html and www.voanews.com/a/foreign-businesses-consider-leaving-chi...

 

On 31 March, cordons have been up all along the streets of the city centre, and in a few hours, steel plates will be erected in their places to enclose each block.

For more than ten days, countless horrible things have happened in Shanghai. Many people, especially the elderly, have fallen on hard times and even lost their lives, and those who resisted, even those who just openly expressed their plight, were punished, for example by being arrested. I hope that all is well with this elder.
