I’ve never witnessed this level of badassery: 95-year old grandma in Shanghai tests positive for Covid. About to get sent away but fends off SIX workers in haz-mats with her cane until they give up.

Later in the day they seal her apartment with steel plates, she RIPS them off, and takes a stroll around the neighborhood…

The next day, after THREE more attempts, they finally get her to the quarantine camps…oh nvm…she jumped the wall…

Still fighting
