I’m mainly looking for stuff about how people are supported (or not) during lockdowns and quarantine, etc. Anything I search about Chinese Covid lockdowns just comes up with a barrage of western propaganda. For instance I remember hearing much earlier in the pandemic that food was being distributed to people door to door in apartment blocks that were locked down and stuff.

Where I live the government just announced an end to isolating for people who test positive, and workers who aren’t entitled to sick leave will have to choose between staying home without pay or coming to work to infect other people :agony-deep: so I wanted some sources to throw at libs, along the lines of “the media says China’s lockdown is so draconian but at least they’re not forcing people to choose between starving and being a super spreader”.

    They’re taken to the hospital for quarantine and monitoring. They work out where that person’s been to determine where they need to enforce lockdowns. In shanghai, they were required to use an app to enter businesses which logged where and when you’d been to a place, but I don’t think they have that in her smaller hometown.
