Opinion by Xing Zhao: As China covid rules ease, Shanghai adjusts to infections — and relief
, it was easy to forget that one day we might live with the virus itself. Over time, it also became hard to believe that zero covid would end. Then the government abruptly abandoned its signature strategy. I went to a shopping mall in downtown Shanghai, where, for the first time in six months, a negative PCR test result was no longer required for entry. The next day, the-checking facilities and personnel that had been omnipresent outside the mall gates were gone.
This sudden change is head-spinning — as is the spread of infections.Practically overnight, it feels as if we went from “zero covid” to “all covid.” People have rushed to drugstores, only to find all the fever and cold medicines sold out. Many have grabbed any medication remotely related to covid symptoms that they can lay their hands on. The night I was both feverish and shivering with chills, my mum and sister drove an hour from the outskirts of Shanghai to bring me a packet of Tylenol.
