What to Make of What’s Going on in Shanghai

 I live about 100 KM or so from Shanghai.  I don’t visit the place much.  In 2021, I went there twice.

The past week, I watched Tucker Carlson’s account of what was happening with the Shanghai lockdown.  He described their lockdown as a virtual imprisonment accompanied by starvation.  I didn’t know what to make of it.  The lockdown here in Wuxi has been annoying but never have I felt like my life was on the line.  And to be honest, I have been content to be a homebody.  Food wise, I have had enough to eat.

But people, who have contacts in Shanghai, say their friends have been down to their last grain of rice…

So, it’s been better in Wuxi than Shanghai.
