Hello from Shanghai. My community went under lockdown starting Apr.30 afternoon. We're now on day 13. In my community, we can walk around outside, but not leave the community. Covid testing every 48 hours. Things are obviously tight. No restaurants or shops do deliveries. Community groups are being set up to try and order basic necessities. We have to do this, because you can only order in bulk due to the lack of delivery personnel. Yesterday, we ordered 1800 eggs to be delivered, the minimum order the seller would accept. This all happens on WeChat chat-groups.
We've received two hand-outs from government of basic foods: Carrots, onions, some rice, some frozen chicken. It's enough to keep you alive, but that's it.
I'm slowly running out of drinking water (tap water is not great), cooking oil, and Western food items like butter, coffee, milk, cheese, cream, etc. Forget about snacks and candy, or condiments. I still have some spaghetti, but no tomatoes, some flour for bread making, but nothing to put on it. Apparently, we still have at least 14 days to go of this....

@中央山脈-c4i Ok, perhaps I misunderstood you. You mention a 'deal'. What kind of deal, if not a deal about the future Central Committee? So far, you are hypothesizing. That's interesting, but it's not proof of anything.
Personally, Hu looks very confused to me, like someone with dementia. I would say he is halfway between Joe Biden and an assisted care facility. Sad, though, as he is still relatively young, only 79. My dad is over 90 and still clear headed.
Also note that Party elders are mostly there out of respect. Hu doesn't have any official position or membership of any political organ (apart from being a party member). If Jiang Zemin had been healthy enough, he would likely have attended, too.
