From a longer, horrific thread:
Day 56 of our Shanghai Covid lockdown

When it’s nice out at night, I unwind on our balcony in a rocking chair my aunt gave me when our oldest was born
It’s a full moon tonight and so quiet that you can hear the footsteps and swishing of the hazmat suits 10+ stories below
But the cat food has been harder to buy recently as the city prioritized food for people and other basic survival necessities for delivery during lockdown

At the same time, we’ve been restricted from going our of our front doors into the common areas below, where the cats are
The result is horrific

Each night, we hear hungry cats crying and fighting
Worse, we hear the hungry dogs - which is what I heard just now - catching a cat
The guttural animal sounds break the eerie silence as I sit in my rocking chair trying to forget about the day
It’s the suddenly interrupted silence that startles me

This part of Shanghai was never quiet and at all hours there were bikes, cars, planes, people, life
All happening, all the time, never silence
But now, everything is quiet
Except the terror of the starving cats and dogs
Meanwhile, Trump basically launched a civil war:
