Tomorrow morning they're testing the whole 26mio people in Shanghai (me and my family included!) in a single morning 😲 Starts at 5am and goal is for everyone to be tested by noon. Results expected the same evening around 7pm.— Arnaud Bertrand (@RnaudBertrand) April 3, 2022
Depends, and honestly hard to get a really broad picture of what everyone's feeling.
Everyone in urban China lives in a 'community' organized by local government. Some are good at their jobs and some are bad. In communities like mine where testing has been very well organized and we've been provided with good food rations, everyone seems pretty mellow, but I've heard of some discontent in communities where food provisions have been bad or non-existent (by discontent, I mean old people complaining at the management in the community, haven't seen or heard of any real protests that have been suggesting in the media).
I think everyone's a little irritated at the Shanghai government as a whole for preparing poorly and responding slowly, but Beijing's taking over the response now so hopefully it'll be resolved quickly.
