Shanghai: Block tensions have exposed divisions among Shanghai residents, stinging young people against old and premises against outsiders, and above all, Covid-negative against positive Covid people.The 25 million people from Shanghai, most of whom live in apartment blocks, have forged new communal bonuses during the city’s coronavirus outbreak, through barter and by buying and establishing stations of food sharing.
But without a final at sight to a block that for some has spent four weeks, the frustrations are also mounted behind the closed doors of the city tower blocks, often playing within the Message Groups of Wechat.In one, the conflict exploded when a woman who had been taken to the centralized quarantine, where she proved negatively, accused the neighbor of her to inform the authorities.
It is not unusual for the results of the tests to be shared and the positive cases announced in the construction of WeChat groups, since the authorities try to face the largest outbreak of China, since the virus was first identified in Wuhan at the end of 2019.He was told by a US citizen who would be sent to a quarantine center after the results of a mixed test, including that of it, he returned positive last week, causing panic. Three others whose samples were in the lot were taken to quarantine, but their own testing at home continued to be negative.
“In the group’s chats, they were saying things like: ‘Oh, positive people are still here, are the positive people still here?'” She said, declining give her the name of her.The older residents, more vulnerable to Covid-19, have also been more likely to require the immediate expulsion of the positive cases of their compound.”Due to the exaggeration of the media about the disease, and since the elderly have weaker immunological systems, they are more afraid of the virus than young people,” said a resident who had seen this happen.
Another foreign resident, who only wanted to be identified as Alexy, was suspected by neighbors of being positive Covid when the test result of him could not bear the health application of him.The administration of the building of it tried to block the food deliveries of the family of it unless they shared the results of housing tests with the rest of the residents, a demand that several residents of Shanghai have said that it extends and Viola the privacy.
“They do not have guidelines and CDC services (Center for Disease Control) are overwhelmed,” he said. “They felt invested with the most important mission of his life, being able to play the doctor, police and judge at the same time.”
LOCKED-OUT
Some people were rejected in their homes and were ordered to stay in hotels after the release of central quarantine, violating state guidelines.Another foreign resident who tried positive said he was confined in his apartment instead of being sent to the central quarantine, with a lot to the disgust of his neighbors, who asked him to leave, tried to exclude from group grocery orders and even He demanded that he would make a formal apology. .
A neighbor called “foreign garbage”, while another spread is on her mental health, and the Residential Committee was not the help, she said”I saw the screenshots of them telling residents who continue to call me,” she said, adding that she would move as soon as she could.
