We remember this applause from the French at their window during the first confinement to salute the work of the caregivers.
In Shanghai (China), the atmosphere is quite different.
As the city is affected by strict confinement, several hundred residents are shouting their frustration at their window.
This is what we see on a video shared this Saturday on Twitter by a radio host and relayed by the HuffPost.
“This video taken yesterday in Shanghai, China, by the father of one of my close friends.
She has verified its authenticity: people are screaming out the window after a week of total confinement, do not leave your apartment for any reason, ”he wrote in the caption.
What the??

empty fridges
The containment applied in Shanghai is very strict.
The 25 million inhabitants are forced to stay at home.
They can't even go shopping.
So much so that some find themselves with their empty fridge.
The supermarkets are mostly closed and the deliverers cannot fully work, specify our colleagues.
“At first some people shouted, then suddenly everyone started shouting.
Because all these people do not know how long this confinement will last and why the measure was decided.
There is no explanation”, explains the father of the family while filming the scene.
“We have been confined for seven days.
Not only can we not leave the residence, but not even our apartments.
It's not okay, If it lasts a long time, there will be problems.
“, he adds.
Record of infections
The Chinese authorities are continuing their “zero Covid” policy with large-scale rapid tests.
As soon as new cases appear, entire areas are cordoned off.
On Sunday, there were 24,943 new infections.
A record.
On Monday morning, local authorities announced that they would ease the restrictions.
There will be no changes for residents of "strict control" and "controlled areas" but in areas where no cases have been recorded in the past two weeks, residents will be free to move around .
