I've seen a bunch of conflicting reports regarding this. Some propaganda outlets are like "they're killing cats and dogs and people are throwing themselves out of building" but I've also heard reports from more reasonable people that they indeed fucked up some of the lockdown measures.

Does anybody have some (reliable) info? Did they resolve the supply chain issues and how many people were affected anyway?

    I have heard that Shanghai local gov fucked up pretty badly due to 'Living with Covid' western brainworms, implementing half-hearted rolling lockdowns measures instead of decisively from the start causing the cases to rose up significantly. The 'killing dogs' things are true (though isolated to a few cases I think) and people have a lots of complaint due to ineffective, insufficient lockdown support, though this vary and depend on the competency of local councils in charge of neighborhoods.

      Why did they need to kill pets though? Sounds really unnecessary.

        iirc, pet owners had to stay at quarantine places and the staff didn't know how to handle the pets so they killed them, people in China were super angry about that too.

          Damn that sucks. If the government ever kills my kitty I'm turning into a raging libertarian instantly.
