The tensions of lockdown have exposed divisions among Shanghai residents, pitting young against old, locals against outsiders, and above all, COVID-negative against COVID-positive people
Shanghai's 25 million people, most of whom live in apartment blocks, have forged new communal bonds during the city's coronavirus outbreak, through barter and group buying and setting up food-sharing stations.
One U.S. citizen was told she would be sent to a quarantine centre after results from a mixed test, including hers, came back positive last week, sparking panic. Three others whose samples were in the batch were taken to quarantine, but her own at-home tests continued to be negative. "Because of the media's exaggeration about the disease, and since old people have weaker immune systems, they are more afraid of the virus than young people," said one resident who had seen this happen.
"They have no guidelines and CDC services are overwhelmed," he said. "They felt invested with the most important mission of their life, being able to play doctor, policeman and judge at the same time."Some people were refused entry into their homes and ordered to stay in hotels after release from central quarantine, violating state guidelines.
