I posted a covid topic post, it is a mask addict group, which is appropriate for some posters in here that have been double and quadruple vaxxed with every covid vaccine on the market.

Some have even gone as far as ordering Russian and Chinese vaccines on the black market (allegedly).

This is much closer to tyranny than what is complained about here.  There are several videos and pics in the link.

Apocalyptic scenes in Shanghai's rebellion against Zero Covid chaos: Residents attack police after being evicted to create quarantine centres and try to break barricades in hunt for food... while hazmat-clad Communist thugs still can't stop cases going up
  • Shanghai residents scuffled with police after being ordered to give up homes


  • Dozens of buildings in the city have been converted to makeshift isolation hubs


  • Separate videos seem to show police pinning protestors to the ground 


Shanghai's residents are rebelling against draconian curbs brought in as part of the Communist regime's failing zero-Covid policy.
Chilling videos show outraged citizens in China's biggest city scuffling with hazmat-suited police who have ordered them to surrender their homes to Covid patients.

Dozens of buildings in the city have been converted to make-shift isolation hubs as local officials struggle to contain record daily infection rates, which have breached 25,000 in recent days.

Separate clips posted online seems to show police pinning angry protestors to the ground and forcibly restraining them in both Shanghai and Haining, located 125km southwest. 

Residents stuck in Shanghai, which has been locked down since April, have flooded social media with complaints of food shortages and over-zealous officialdom which has forced them into an ineffective state quarantine.
Footage has even shown desperate citizens bursting through barricades demanding food.

Cases began rising in Shanghai in late March and have surpassed 25,000 in recent days.
The city first implemented a phased lockdown from March 28, with just parts of the city being shutdown.
A full city-wide lockdown was implemented on April 3 as cases continued to rise.

Despite the drastic action, the vast majority of virus cases detected each day are in people with no symptoms.

Shanghai, often described as China's economic engine room, has officially reported no deaths in this outbreak.

Social media has been flooded with complaints of food shortages, while protests have kicked off against the strict measures.
Videos circulating online show residents outside a compound shouting at ranks of officials holding shields labelled 'police', as the officers tried to break through their line.

In one clip, police appear to make several arrests as the residents accuse them of 'hitting people'.

The incident was triggered after authorities ordered 39 households to move from the compound 'in order to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and control' and house virus patients in their apartments, according to Zhangjiang Group, the developer of the housing complex.

In one live-streamed video, a woman reportedly asks 'why are they taking an old person away?' as officials appeared to put someone into a car.

Zhangjiang Group said it had compensated the tenants and moved them into other units in the same compound.
The developer recognised that videos of the compound that had 'appeared on the internet' on Thursday and said 'the situation had now settled down' after 'some tenants obstructed the construction' of a quarantine fence.

No that's actual tyranny. Way over the line. Australia was tyranny and this is well past their actions. Zero COVID was and is a mistake and makes no sense from either an infection control standpoint or a societal standpoint. But China went down that road and now they need to save face.

We have had several Teams/Zoom/Voov meetings this week that included people locked down in Shanghai. No surprise that all of them wished they weren't locked down in their apartments, for some it's been over a month now. Food gets delivered to their doorstep. The food deliveries have been erratic with a somewhat strange choice of food choices, but in the last couple of weeks, all of them reported they are getting enough food. One funny story that came during our meeting, the host stepped away from the meeting and came back to the meeting laughing. She had to step away because her food was being delivered, but in her delivery she got 60 eggs. She's single and lives alone.

The lockdown in China impacts directly on 343 million people for those that live in cities that are on complete lockdown or partial lockdown. It's going to have a major impact on the economic expectations for this year. Growth will slow substantially to be sure. 

And yet, here we sit in Beijing living a completely normal life, very weird. Very very weird. I hope I just didn't jinx the whole city of Beijing. 

Anyway, We had another BSL-3 lab evaluation yesterday. After we suited up, for some reason, no one thought my Darth Vader breathing impression was funny. Anyway, progress on the project has slowed because many of the technical parts that they need have to come from Shanghai. Methinks they may not meet their completion deadline, which, of course, will extend our work. Which is not an issue with me, we get paid hourly for this job.

What do they do about meds and especially vital meds? How do they treat meds or even packages that you have to sign for?

Exports of Chinese vaccines are way way down. Seems that for those paying for the vaccines, they are now opting for the Pfizer and AstraZeneca shots. These have shown to have much better effectiveness long term. There have been some here clamoring for western shots given the spread of the omicron BA.2 variant. But I don't see that ever happening. 

The Chinese will not allow the import of western vaccines into the country. However, and excuse me that I have forgotten the name, they are going to allow the pill you can take to minimize the effects of the virus.

Probably Paxlovid. They should try licensing Modernaâ€s vaccine. They could at least say theyâ€re manufacturing it.

Packages and food arrive at the gate of the apartment complexes. From there the apartment management delivers the packages to each door individually. There are extremely few packages you have to sign for, so maybe for those that do require a signature, the apartment people take the package to the apartment. 

People are missing doctor's appointments and for most, cannot get refills on their meds because they can't get to the pharmacy. They only let out those suffering from serious or life-threatening maladies. And baby deliveries of course. 

This type of lockdown is way more confining than when Beijing was locked down early in the virus. We could send out one person twice a week to go to the pharmacy and grocery store. 

We have a plan at our home if we think the eventuality arises in Beijing. Right now keeping basics well stocked. When the time comes, my wife (who is unfortunately really good at ordering stuff online) will start ordering things according to our priorities. Her FIL and I head to our respective pharmacies to stock up. Her mother braves the maddening crowd at the grocery store while it's still open.
