Middle-class family in Shanghai dealing with lockdown (Chinese video) - Limfamily - 17-04-2022
Some key points that I noted:
- This family has to rely on some kind of group buy programme with other residents in the same building for food
- The food is delivered to their doorstep by volunteers since it's very inconvenient to leave home
- Looks like the residents take turns becoming volunteers to deliver food
- Regular online shopping is impossible since everything is sold out
- Price of one head of Chinese cabbage is roughly SGD21 (!!!)
Not trying to scare anyone or anything...but we shouldn't take things for granted yah.

Yah it's always a good idea to keep some extra dry or durable food for emergency.

I'm genuinely wondering about the reason behind their government's zero-covid policy. This kind of reaction seems overblown.
