It's no use, people refuse to see the truth for what it is, just as Shenzen [1] and Guangzhou have been put on partial lock-down. Later edit: Add Tianjin and Chengdu to the list [2], which means that out of the 7 biggest Chinese cities only the first 3 are not yet technically on any form of lockdown (Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing). Later later edit: Photos + video of people escaping the Shenzen lockdown just before coming into effect yesterday, February 7th [3] [1] https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/20/2/8/n11853273.htm https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/20/2/8/n11853273.htm (Google Translate will help) [2] https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/3061526 https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/3061526 [3] https://twitter.com/IndoPac_Info/status/1226130936292499457 https://twitter.com/IndoPac_Info/status/1226130936292499457 and https://twitter.com/freddie1999/status/1225754832751013888 https://twitter.com/freddie1999/status/1225754832751013888

The lockdown in Guangdong is real, but it's not the same as the lockdown in Hubei. Wearing a mask in public is mandatory. Urban villages have been cordoned off and there are checkpoints to move in and out. Gated communities have also been advised to do temperature checks and record movement. All residents who need to return to work next week are being encouraged to register with the local community center to avoid additional ID checks and bottlenecks at the checkpoint. Unlike in Hubei, public transport is still running. 外卖 (food delivery) and 快递 (courier services) are still active. Many shops and restaurants are closed, but there are slightly more places open this weekend than there were last weekend. Our version of the lockdown is still oppressive and inconvenient, but it's looser (or more optimized?) now than it was when it was put into place a week ago. There isn't a sense that people are fleeing the city. On the contrary, they are returning from their home provinces. Source: I live here.
