@SvenvanRooijen @benjaminqiu There have been several rounds of rumours similar to this, but then debunked each time. There is a shortage of delivery personnel which is causing the problem of food reached Shanghai but not to people's homes. So far gov't said they are increasing # of permits for deliveries.

@benjaminqiu This has been verified to come from 1 community, not an official statement from the government. In fact Shanghai consumer protection committee's WeChat account has been posting "group buying" tips everyday since April 4, including coffee. Pls verify info before sharing them.

Went shopping at a Carrefour in #Shanghai two night before the supposed 4-day #lockdown in western part of the city. Vegetables, fruits, meats & eggs are the favorites. Queues at checkout but crowds are reasonable. Heard a butcher say “they are buying food enough for a year.”

Only #Shanghai can pull off a 20 square meter #COVID19 mid-risk level area in the city center, while the shop next door remained business as usual.

It’s been 14 days and in half an hour, it’s be in the clear. A police car pulled up for the last shift.
