There has been no product shortages in China except for facemasks. Since the first days of the lockdown till today, e-commerce is still working, deliveries are still being made. Supermarkets and pharmacies are still open. There are reduced hours and the vast majority of brick and mortar shops are closed, but no one is struggling to find daily necessities. One area that does seem to be lacking is gyms, beauty salons, barber shops etc. But really those things are luxuries - people are able to go on without it. Lockdown really sucks but it doesn't suck because of a lack of goods. It sucks because a massive number of people in pink collar/service roles are unable to work. It sucks because the government, and other fearful people, have essentially decided that face-to-face social interaction is not a prerequisite for a functioning society. That might sound fine to someone who is introverted and a homebody anyways, but when interactions have been forced onto the internet or behind masks and checkpoints for months, I dunno... For me it's really trying. I don't so much miss the products of life before coronavirus as I miss the society we had.
