I cannot even process all of the people who have died from lack of medical care that I either knew or was acquainted with in some way.

I agree. There are many countries that would like to fill that void. Granted it will take time, but I think it's a worthwhile goal.

Xi Jinping's motives are more about 'saving face' rather than saving lives.

Why target Shanghai though? Isn't Shanghai and Shenhzen one of the areas where China's more productive people live?

One of the ones I know that has cancer even had surgery delayed after the discovery because the covid infection rates went up a little bit. The hospital shut down all "elective surgery" and cancer surgery is deemed to be elective surgery around here.
