What the?? This video taken yesterday in Shanghai, China, by the father of a close friend of mine. She verified its authenticity: People screaming out of their windows after a week of total lockdown, no leaving your apartment for any reason. pic.twitter.com/iHGOO8D8Cz

China’s largest city has been under a draconian lock down since April 5th. Beijing ordered a complete shutdown as part of its “zero COVID” policy.
The city’s 25 million residents have had to take six COVID-19 tests since April 3rd. They are prohibited from leaving their homes, even for food.
The government has been dropping rations and people are using delivery services. Those who test positive are forcibly taken to quarantine hospitals and are still not allowed to leave their homes.
