Nevertheless, Shanghai has found its own way of torture. Listen to this, if you get infected, noooo, you won’t stay home and you won’t get be just having a cold. As a matter of fact, they forcefully put you into an actual “centralized quarantine”, and, believe me, it doesn’t look like a prison in Norway. It’s actually fairly disgusting and inhumane, no word of a lie. In some of those, people sleep literally in refrigerator boxes with numbers written with the marker on those. How ridiculous is that?? Wait for the best part!

My boyfriend somehow got infected. You ask me: how? haven’t you guys been in a lockdown? Well, yes, but did anyone cancel the daily PCR testings which are obviously conducted outside in a line on the street where those already infected are passing by the line in order to board a bus that would take them to the “concentration camp” of a centralized quarantine!

Hold you horses! It wasn’t the best part yet …

As I said, my bf got infected. After a couple of days waiting, a couple of days saying they would retest him and a couple of more days of no one arriving to do the retesting, we take an antigens test just for curiosity. For the record, it was the last one we had. Bingo! It shows negative, and literally, I mean literally, a minute after we see the negative result, we receive a call. The man says “Dear …, I am here to inform you that you will be taken to a hospital (that’s how they call that jail for corona positive, in fact, a leaking tent on a stadium with never cleaned toilets and non-existing mattresses)”. We go like, ‘Excuse me, we’ve just had a negative test plus we need to make sure again after such a long time whether he’s still positive which we clearly know he is not”

Guess what answer we received from people who have zero own decision-making mechanism in their brains? Of course, no matter what, “you have to be taken there and there’s nothing I can do” …
