How Covid shut down Shanghai 

Honestly just let the ones tested positive to stay home and isolate. Forcing them to huddle together in a hospital just makes it worse.

So crazy to be locked down in your own truck with a “do not open” seal on your door… I can’t imagine how it’s like to not be able to stretch your feet in such a tiny confined space.

It wasn't COVID that shut down Shanghai, it was the government. There is a difference.

Insane. Makes you wonder what the real reason is for these extreme and utterly exaggerated measures. The '19 crisis will be over once we act the part.

The whole world went through this, lotsa people died because of this disease 🦠. However I don’t think any country treated their otherwise healthy citizens like potential terror suspects. Madness!

Delivery guys being locked down as well is the problem. If they are allowed to do their jobs, the people will not insist on doing the groceries themselves. This is such a poorly planned policy.

and that's how people go crazy, or starve to death. Thanks to this video for going easy, there are tons of stories you haven't seen

The right title of the video should be "How CCP shut down Shangai"

This is sad to watch. Hope everything will be okay at the end.

If you ever thought you're own lockdown experience was awful just remember what these people are dealing with :/

The virus isn't deadly as it was before. Let people go and live normally.

Maybe its time to admit that this variant is less harmful to people than the harsh prevention measures like the rest of world has.

It's so weird seeing Shanghai like this I've been there a few years ago so I can't help imagining myself walking down the same roads now and it being completely different Seems like something out of a movie

The strict lockdown measurement is insane if you watch from the video. Their authorities are loosing their mind, driver being lock and forbidden to leave his truck for quarantine purpose. The driver treatment is worst than a criminal. A modern city that supposed have plenty of food supply, suddenly become upsidedown city. Conclusion from the SH lockdown, the authority human being is more fearful than the virus itself.

0:02, people are saying "need food supply"; How come you translate it as "Let me out?"

As a Chinese, there is nothing we look for more than true democracy and freedom with basic human right.

This speaks volume how the government treat their people

The Philippines underwent lockdown for 2 years, every time there are surges in cases. But we overcome it, lockdown in Shanghai is completely wrong. They should allow at least 1 member of the family to go out and buy essential goods.

Crisis may be an understatement at this point. I've had nightmares about this for two nights in a row. I used to live two hours from Shanghai and have been to that city numerous times. This is incomprehensible to me. I feel so anxious and afraid for these residents and wonder if anyone I have known personally is among those locked inside or being forced into a quarantine centre. I live in Germany now. In November 2020, the gov't announced a hard lockdown that was only supposed to last two weeks. Instead, it lasted 6 months. Then in September 2021, the gov't became a bit heavy-handed about vaccine passes. Now they've relaxed this as well. But at no point during their harshest restrictions did they stop people from going to the supermarket or to restaurants to order takeaway. They certainly never forced anyone to stay indoors. I think the state of Victoria (Australia) imposed a strict lockdown similar to Shanghai's, and this moved dangerously close to violating human rights. But from my understanding, nobody in Victoria was denied medical care/treatment. And those who were locked down were still able to get their food and medicine delivered without too much disruption, to my knowledge at least. The behaviour of the gov't in Shanghai right now is utterly reprehensible.

*How government shut down Shanghai there I fixed the title for you.

The government are incompetent to handle the issues. I'm glad some of my friends fly out from the Shanghai before it becomes like this.

Saw a video of a health worker using the same swab on two different people. Looks like they ran low on swabs and someone gave the order to just reuse the swabs. They are more concerned with enforcing the regulation than the lives of regular people.

I don’t think that this time ‘the city’s total shutdown’ is going to work . The omicron virus spreads very fast, only the leaked in the air system of the quarantine hotel had proven that. I can see that the medical workers have overloaded work. Sending my love to all the people around the world

I can never understand how elective surgeries and cyclical treatments such as dialysis pale in importance to a glorified flu. Cumulative delays can be disastrous.

2021: Dancing and pool party 2022:

How does throwing people into tight quarters with no hygiene help virally fight sicknesses ... this is about something else ....

Some delivery guys were cought to spread the virus on puspose. Because the fee are so high and they made a lot of money, some of them don't want the lockdown to end. There are some defects in the whole process, nobody realized until 2 weeks later. That was horrible.

It gives a new meaning to the word, SHANGHAIED.

COVID is not an animate object that CANNOT shut down Shanghai as the headline reads. Paranoid CCP bureaucratic tyrants shut down Shanghai. Shanghai is a World city that the rest of us relate to more closely than any other part of China, except maybe Hong Kong. We see their despotism more clearly as a result of our familiarity.

How the government shut down shanghai, covid did nothing.

Pray for these people, they are starving.

*One person said, “I feel like I’m in prison”. Pray for these people. Fighting*

Still playing COVID theater?

China is that one kid who takes things too seriously.

5:03 The driver : do you think I couldn't get out through my window?

Shanghai Screams: AAAHHHHAAAAAA HELP!!! Rest of the world: You all still on this? We Moved on.

Population ctrl?

For such an infectious disease like covid, zero covid is not a feasible solution. Getting vaccination and treatment accessible is the right path

Political leaders all over the world is crimal of humanity

I can't, no, not even a single...I can't express my thoughts on this, this is just plain sad, Wish the best for the citizens.

Complete evil.

Day 15 of lockdown here in Shanghai, the main issue is the uncertainty of the current strategy, tooo strict for the actual cases (most asyntomatic ones) of a new variant with a very little death rate %(almost null) .. I guess they r changing that strategy soon.. should..

this could last at least 10 years to return to normal lives

Situation in Shanghai seems out of control even after 2 weeks of lockdown. I hope they will overcome this like Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

The subject is incorrect! It's "China government" to shutting down the city, not the Covid.

The title of the video should be “How the Chinese Communist government shut down Shanghai”

Great report. But it needs audio mixing. The levels are up and down.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rkVRbSZOh4M.html it's the wrong translation. People are say "发物资", it means send supplies/materials , not "let me out"

This movie never ending

We in Vietnam which has the same politic system with China had experienced exactly the same, First we were very successful, one of the world best defender against covid. in 2020 covid rages on in the Western world but life is normal with near zero covid in VIetnam. That all changed in 2021, only Vietnam had its worser than China today because at that time we were not vaccinated yet. We had to lock down our main city for a month due to low vaccination rate but no where as strict as China. We paid the price in total death from one of the lowest in the world to currently within top 20 countries with the most death(40k). But we emegered from it quite well I would have to say, due to the fact that we knew when to abandon zero-covid policy.

explained everything thank you.

There was never a mention of vaccination and vaccines. What role did it play?

How are the vaccination rate there? Are they still not in the booster phase?

What happens when a bunch of crazies are in power

How politicians shut down Shanghai. This should be the correct title

I think the Chinese govt should study different approach used by other nations in fighting Omicron. Omicron although highly transmissible is not as deadly as Delta. However, we can assume also that maybe there’s a fear among Chinese epidemiologists that a country of billion people infected with Omicron may result to another variant. Thus they put this draconian measures into place to be better safe than sorry

Just approve the use of existing mRNA vaccines while still working on your home-grown mRNA. You are not going to lose your national identity or pride.

And this is the model for the whole world.

Why is this only happening in Shanghai? Why no other part🧐

CCP should be held accountable for crimes against humanity

I bet, CCP has buried Dr. Zhang WenHong politically. Shanghai an Expo 2010 pavilions showcase, as of now, truly a mess.

Im an NYU Shanghai student and we have been confined to our dorm building for more than a month now. The school has no idea when we will be able to leave

Pcr tests can not do diagnosis.

what the use of vaccine if this happened ?

It is very difficult to achieve zero COVID. There must be a balance between life and economy. People need to work to put food on the table. Implement strict SOP while battling with COVID.

Extend help ; - package food - water - basic medical

the truth is you will catch disease on those quarantine facilities

In New Zealand we conducted the most comprehensive lockdown for 3 months, we allowed only the most necessary work to be carried out (of course with regulation). However we did always allow people to go to the supermarket (with regulation). We generally accepted the lockdown, although the advent of Omicron no longer required a zero policy.

Stay strong Shanghai. We are praying for your fastest recovery. This too shall pass. Love from Cebu, Philippines 💖💖💖💖

time is bad, but its not worst

Don’t worry this will come here one day, you’ve seen how few are willing to stand up.

I hope people over throw the government There us mo excuse for this

Lockdown aside, Shanghai is such a beautiful metropolis

Leave peoples free you guys

إن الله على كل شيء قدير يفعل ما يشاء ويختار ولله في خلقه شؤون.

The people of Shanghai were starving, screaming in despair in their apartments. The Chinese government holds people like prisoners in the Zero COVID campaign. Shanghai is completely paralyzed. companies collapse. People have no hope when money can't buy food

I getbthe feeling alot of people will be leaving after the country after this. My guess is US and Canada.

Music to my ears.

The timeline 3:30mins in this video is a resting site for volunteers not a site for quarantine facilities, some information reported by SCMP is not true at all.

Entire city closed import and export stop, effecting supply chain. Big trouble in little Shanghai.

Does it mean that mass vaccination or the vaccine is not effective to prevent such situation?

The frantic response to the virus scares me. May be the government knows something we don't.

Most of the countries already declared endemic but they still in pandemic phase?wow

I think they have taken the lockdown into a wrong directions, first of all they should depoly their armies of soldiers to divide into sections which supplies food , medications (essential for elderly with other illness) ,divide asymptomatic and symptomatic into 2 sections with a swift time frame of 7 days,those with severe respiratory should be fully isolated in ICU for a period of at least 14 days. Ambulances and medical staffs from other states should be called in as a standby for COVID admission. A temporary make shift should be set up in a middle school for children suspected of COVID. I hope they will get through this.🙏

This is part of a larger plan. Right Klaus Schwab??

There is nothing stopping that man from climbing out of these window. Seal won't break 🤪

Thks to SCP covering this Shanghai Covid Crisis. My prayers are with Chinese people suffering in China.

It makes me compare the situation in my own country, where I thought our government were half-heartedly handling the covid cases it made me angry. Yet here, I could see how their government takes this case too seriously to the point hurting their people themselves. I really don't know which one is better, or both are bad? 😶 Either way it is a sad situation, I hope everything gets better in the future.

This is not about covid, it's about control.

Smutné, traumatický zážitek pro děti i pro rodiče.

But still can't figure out how to unlock your apple devices ??

To the government of China, Please soften your heart and your rule against the people of China. This is hurting people too much, let people do basic things like shopping and allow them to get their medications, please. The people of China must be so frightened - not of Covid, but of their own government. Please, be gentle with your people, they need food, water, family and medication with access to help if needed. Please, China, soften your heart on your people 🙏🏼❤️

Vaccination rate is over 80%.

Cure cannot be worse than disease

Ugh I hope China opens up soon. I wanna visit the pandas!!!

SCMP criticising CCP policies I am surprised , i am astonished to see this

If their situation is so bad as being portrayed, they would start following what India did last year -- To beg for oxygen tanks donations worldwide and to mass cremate openly in public.

In any place, the beginning of the disaster, people will compete for shopping.Short-live material shortage is inevitable, it is normal

I have never seen anything like this ever happen...😞

Over reacting too much is nightmares no medical treatment. Let’s all non serious patients go home quarantine more safer. Come on Shanghai .
