It was beyond surreal, also the authorities taking and violently killing people's pets. Jesus, awful awful things happening
Turn off the TV and stop listening to fake news. The people of Shanghai will be fine... They are one of the richest in the world.

Yes it works they are not getting 5000+ cases a day when they are locked down

So instead of getting the sniffles, they're locked down in their apartments. Jesus christ!

Locked in their apartments with major hunger pangs and no certainty as to how much longer they must stay in. Or forcefully taken away to quarantine camps.

So much better than covid. If it just saves one life from the having cold/flu like omicron symptoms, it’s worth it.

When you can't get to the hospital because you are locked down, you don't get counted as a case.

I think it is possible that the government there is deliberately killing the people. They are starving them to death. Later they can lie and say they died from covid or something. China has been trying to reduce the population for a while.

oh boy. now it's OUR fault.

China accuses US of 'weaponizing' extended Shanghai lockdown


meanwhile, xi doubles down

Xi Jinping says China must maintain zero tolerance for COVID, even as locked-down Shanghai residents grow desperate for food and freedom

That's really terrifying if true.... Sometimes I just can't wrap my head around how a government can be so evil.
