A friend of mine is living in Shanghai as well and basically they've confirmed that the situation there is quite dire.

They are in lockdown since 1st of April. Lockdown means not leaving your apartment. My friend told me there are rumors of sealing whole buildings. The only way to get food is via delivery services. Unfortunately those very services are breaking down due to infections/quarantine of the drivers thus leaving a lot of people without food. My friend has been living on milk for the last few days and is hoping the gov. is gonna get it's act together and prevent people from starving.
