Millions of people in Beijing took their second COVID-19 tests of the week on Wednesday as the Chinese capital tried to keep an outbreak numbering in the dozens from spiraling into a crisis like the one the locked-down city of Shanghai is enduring.

Evidence that Shanghai’s month-long isolation has become almost unbearable for many of the city’s 25 million people is emerging on an almost daily basis on the country’s heavily censored internet.

“Calm down, calm down,” says another. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the authenticity of the video. “These past two days every time I go to the supermarket there are lots of people, so I just turn around and leave, as I feel slightly unsafe,” he said. “I can understand the panic, given what happened in Shanghai.”

In mass testing in China, multiple samples are tested together in a single tube for speed and efficiency. In the meantime, most people are confined to their homes. Even those who can go out have few options, with most shops and other venues closed. China’s zero tolerance policy has provoked rare public anger in an important year for President Xi Jinping, over measures that look increasingly bizarre to much of the outside world that has chosen “live with COVID”, even as infections spread.Research by Gavekal Dragonomics estimated that 57 of China’s 100 biggest cities were under some form of COVID curbs as of last week.
