Shanghai wrestles with food shortages under virus shutdown

People in China's business capital complain that online grocers often are sold out. Some received government food packages meat and vegetables for a few days. But with no word on when they will be allowed out, anxiety is rising.

On Thursday, the government reported 23,107 new cases nationwide, all but 1,323 of which had no symptoms. That included 19,989 in Shanghai, where only 329 had symptoms.Plans called for four-day closures of districts while residents were tested. That changed to an indefinite citywide shutdown after case numbers soared. Shoppers who got little warning stripped supermarket shelves.Officials say Shanghai, home of the world's busiest port and China's main stock exchange, has enough food.

Li Xiaoliang, an employee of a courier company, complained the government overlooks people living in hotels. He said he is sharing a room with two coworkers after positive cases were found near his rented house. The government says it is trying to reduce the impact of its tactics, but authorities still are enforcing curbs that also block access to the industrial cities of Changchun and Jilin with millions of residents in the northeast.

In 2020, access to cities with a total of 60 million people was suspended in an unprecedented attempt to contain the outbreak. The ruling party organized vast supply networks to bring in food.

Lies

This is Orwellian. Let us be thankful we live in Canada!

this is the stupidity of the pro lockdown crowd. They cant see the big picture and end up killing more people due to their lockdowns than the virus

I hope y'all had a great weekend. Take care & enjoy the rest of the week ☺. I hope this beautiful scene of my Sunday trip to Oakville can lift up your spirit from the CP24 doom & gloom
