After 41 days of confinement, the city of Shanghai and its inhabitants are on the verge of breaking down. The WHO denounced the zero policy covid applied by China, which maintains its restrictions.

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.

A contact case detected, an entire building evacuated

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.
