It's weird as fuck, that's for sure. Covid tests for fish, for dogs, for newborn babies. But no vaccine mandate? People dressed in surgical gowns to scan your temperature entering a building. Hazmat suits. Covid test pop up boxes all over the city. QR "healthcode" tyranny. It's so embarrassing.
I'm pretty lucky: was never taken to a fangcang (the camps), didn't get covid and have to hide from the authorities (like some of my friends), had some food in the cupboard, made a point of trying to talk to someone every day. A friend of a friend had a breakdown during the Shanghai lockdown and is still in a psychiatric hospital. A lot of people who got covid got fired because their companies think they're too dangerous.
32 days left here...
It's so jarring to think of you (and billions of others) living like that, when we have essentially zero restrictions here.
It feels like when New Zealand was covid free and we were locked inside. Just with us being the Kiwis this time
Stay safe @hats. Hurry home!
