People are angry because of the lack of agency, primarily. Or so the article claims :) It is a US publication, and they always have to be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to anything that isn't the US.
- Georgelemental 5y agoThere are many stories about people dying in the waiting room because they had to wait for their covid test to come back negative before ERs in Shanghai were allowed to treat them.
- Mattasher 5y agoThis is a funny way to frame mass indefinite home detention, filthy quarantine centers, and the many, many reports of people not having enough to eat, and deaths from lack of access to medical care. Did you know that only residents with official permission to be in Shanghai are getting food? What do you think is happening to everyone else?
- routerl 5y ago> Did you know that only residents with official permission to be in Shanghai are getting food? And even those are only nominally getting food. For every account of the Shanghai lockdown that includes regular food delivery, there are 5 accounts showing that their food delivery has been a packet of noodles and some cooking oil, once every two weeks.
- krageon 5y ago> a packet of noodles and some cooking oil, once every two weeks. Then everyone would be dead, so clearly this is not true.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoDepends on the timeframe
- routerl 5y agoOnly if that's the only source of food. The point is, contrary to this article, government food deliveries are nowhere close to enough.
- andi999 5y agoYou mean people without shanghai hukou do not get food? That is around 9 million people? Do you have a source for that, this sounds a bit like black propaganda.
