As per news report of NDTV, several such videos have surfaced on Twitter, Instagram and other platforms, which show people squabbling with local authorities and warning of repercussions. China's largest city has been under lockdown since April 5 to control the spread of the infection as part of the country's “zero COVID” policy. All the 26 million people of the city have been ordered to stay at home. Well-known public health scientist, US-based Dr Eric Feigl-Ding, posted some of these videos from Shanghai where he says the residents of the apartments are speaking in “Shanghainese”, a local dialect. He said the people won't be able to hold out much longer, which could lead to a tragedy. “Yao ming le” & “yao si” - both expressions meaning “life and death” but they also more literally means “asking for death”. Narrator eventually implies shit is gonna hit the fan soon if this continues,” Dr Feigl-Ding said in the Twitter thread.
