The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that China’s zero Covid policy is not sustainable, but Chinese authorities prefer to maintain restrictions. In Shanghai, 25 million people have been confined for more than six weeks. On the spot, the tension rises.
Shanghai is on edge. Residents wait to be supplied with food. Starving, they physically attack officials. Shanghai cracks after more than a month of confinement. The police have orders: all means are allowed to neutralize the recalcitrant. On social networks, many images show suicide attempts. A violinist killed himself. Suffering from excruciating abdominal pain, several hospitals would have refused to treat him.
Wednesday May 11 is the 41st day of confinement for 25 million inhabitants. The measures to fight against the Covid are very harsh, the police coming to pick up the infected people. When only one case is positive in a building, all residents can be evacuated. Every day, often at night, residents are brought to quarantine centers. Cleaners then infiltrate the empty slots.
