One thing that's going on is that it shows why Americans should stop whining about our very minor lockdown here.
IDK where you live but there was never any lockdown here. If people wanted to stay home they were free to do so. Others could live their lives. This isn't China.
I bet Demcorats are watching and thinking about how they could accomplish this here. Not so much because of COVID, but because of “equity” in especially expensive housing markets.

Many lauded the Chinese as having superior reactions to the pandemic. If it can save just one life...
Donno. I watched it and it does not seem right. I don't know Chinese and you can show me anything and then INTERPRET it as you wish. And why it is only Shanghai, the largest PORT and industrial hub? What economic global impact that lockdown has? China showing, how easily it can shut down whatever supply under noble pretext?
There's something fishy about it. Lockdown in 20 plus million city because of 1600 cases? Really?
I watched on Twitter but cannot find the link now of some Italian ex-pat in Shanghai who tested + for COVID on a rapid antigen test.
He was forced out of his apartment, into a bus, and taken to one of those quarantine facilities. At the facility, once they learned he was a foreigner they sent him back onto the bus, to his apartment, but didn't let him go inside. After many hours, they sent him back to the quarantine facility. When he demanded to know why he was being bounced back and forth, one of the guys told him "conditions not good for foreigners" to which he asked, "are they good for Chinese", the guy immediately sent him back on the bus, to his apartment.
However, once at his apartment, the residents would not let him back in. The police came, trying to calm the situation, but they screamed and protested. Eventually, the Italian embassy intervened, and he was sent to another quarantine facility that supposedly was marginally better. Still, he had a small cubical like area to sleep and put his belongings in a large warehouse style building.
Throughout this, he had a mild temperature (38.9 celsius) and some minor fatigue. For these kinds of symptoms he went through all this trouble.
