Day 35 of our Shanghai Covid lockdown
Unbelievably, the newly identified Covid cases in Shanghai increased yesterday
Adding to that trend, friends in several areas reported new cases in apartment buildings and communities that have been under strict lockdown for weeks

We have the strictest imaginable lockdown conditions in Shanghai, and still have this massive setback of a rise in new Covid cases.
How can the virus, in these conditions, continue to survive and spread?
And if it can, in these conditions, how can our hope continue to survive?

Social media in Shanghai has been flooded this weekend with despair, sorrow, and anger
It was a rainy morning in Shanghai today and they called us down to stand in a line to do the administered PCR test
We didn’t go down
And I watched who did, it was less than 30 that I saw, out of thousands in our community

Everyone else demanded to do the home tests
We did too, and tested negative again…
I have lost the energy to keep track of how many times we tested negative during this lockdown - I expect we are close to 30 consecutive tests, all negative

We haven’t gone down to do the PCR tests in more than a week
My health code (government QR code) is still showing green with no asterisk, which is the “big data” way of showing I have zero risk and should be allowed out freely

35 days of Covid lockdown in Shanghai with countless consecutive negative tests
Still not allowed to leave our front door
Still frustrated by food and water deliveries not returning to normal
Still with no idea of when this will end
Still very angry

The one good development has been that some areas of the city seem to be doing better with fewer cases and less restrictions
A key thing to remember about our city is that it is huge and the situation is different everywhere - I am only sharing our situation where I live

One last important thing: there are videos/pictures that seem to show suicide, violence, starvation, and other types of cruelty happening now in Shanghai
