Someone joked about this scene of Chengdu residents waiting for the meat to be cut that it looked like feeding lions and tigers at the zoo.

Looks like some people are looking forward to their stay at home time (without risking a pandemic pregnancy)

Next day:

Saw this photo pop up amid all the photos of panic shopping and it seems that this foreigner succesfully bought his single celery stalk (in a bag) 🤣
