Yes it is not covered by the media who is fixated on Ukraine at the moment but Shanghai is under lockdown.

  > but Shanghai is under lockdown. Damn, I honestly didn't expect to read about this first on HN, you are indeed right, almost everyone seems fixated on the war (for understandable reasons, I would say). I remember posting on this forum 2+ years ago about the Chinese authorities locking down Tianjin and potentially Guangzhou/Shenzen in the South (in early February 2020, I think), I remember a HN-er from Shenzen telling me that things were just fine there. Time does fly fast.

    It's very worrying, the footages coming out of Shanghai reminds me a lot of that, and I recall that's when we had huge outbreaks that lead to the March 2020 financial dip. We are seeing a huge rise in covid detected in wastewater in SV offices who have more people returning to office now that the pandemic is suddenly over. Even more worrying is this war causing myopia. All of our attention is glued to Ukraine and we are completely discounting the risk. This is chaos.
