Yesterday I had a consultant locked down in one of these Chinese zero-economy policy snap lockdowns. Hordes of special police came to enforce the lockdown which is ongoing. His hotel was right at the edge. After some suitable wangling he was able to obtain a special paper from a petty official to leave the quarantine zone. Returning in the evening, split lovers could be seen smooching over the quarantine fence. Nobody gave a damn. We expect it to last three days then return to normal.
