Inside a Shanghai mass quarantine center: No showers, lights on 24/7

After testing positive for Covid-19, she was forced to live under 24/7 lighting in a Shanghai exhibition center along with thousands of strangers...

By testing all 25 million residents and isolating positive cases, authorities hoped to break the virus’s chains of transmission. Officials raced to convert buildings, such as the convention center...into so-called fangcang—or square-cabin—hospitals to cope with the inevitable surge in compulsory quarantines.

[O]fficial data published Friday show there were more than 270,000 asymptomatic cases nationwide under medical observation. It couldn’t be determined how many are in government centers...

Shanghai has built more than 100 makeshift hospitals with a total capacity of more than 160,000 beds for Covid-positive individuals with mild or no symptoms... The city had 7,776 people hospitalized and more than 220,000 under medical observation...

The policy of sending positive cases into quarantine facilities is contentious, especially since most people have only mild symptoms, if any at all.

In a video tour of H1’s 24 "districts" ...chest-high partitions similar to the cubicles found in open-plan offices can be seen dividing the hall and stretching into the distance.

Two people share each of the boxed-off areas, which have two beds. Men and women are assigned to different zones within the hall, though they share a bathroom area that consists of lines of dozens of portable toilets. These are cleaned several times a day, Ms. Polubotko said, but the floor was always wet.

Polubotko counts about 600 steps from where she slept...in district 17—to the bathroom area. For a few hours each day, everyone can also go outside—though they remain behind a perimeter fence that is too high to see over.

Along with some personal items such as a toothbrush, she was given a plastic basin and a small towel when she arrived...

Odd sort of hospital. One where no-one is sick.

Cruel and inhuman. Can you imagine the suffering going on?
Think of that painting by Hieronymus Bosch;
Garden if Earthly Delights.

Okay, I have a dumb question - if China’s intent is Zero Covid and their method to achieve this is to Quarantine all people who test positive, isn’t that counter productive?

From what I read anyone testing positive, asymptomatic, mild symptoms, moderate symptoms, severe symptoms, whatever are all concentrated in one place. Wouldn’t this concentration actually contribute to more severe cases of Covid since people would be in close proximity to others and viral loads would naturally be through the roof? Is China purposely overexposing people?

In other words in China, if you test positive you get to be forcibly overexposed to Covid and you may or may not walk out of the camps alive. Maybe Zero Covid means if you test positive, China tries to kill everyone with Covid. Wonder how many false positives are in the camps being exposed?? China’s Zero Covid Policy may just turn into a form of Mass Murder.

China wants the rest of the industrialized world to follow their theatrical lead, and begin locking down again.

The Fox article reads like a NYTimes article. Begins with the ole "human interest" connection before widening.

"After testing positive for Covid-19, she was forced to live under 24/7 lighting in a Shanghai exhibition center along with thousands of strangers....

If China can encourage the fearful in the West to send "positive" though asymptomatic into "centers," their war will have been won.

Hospial is euphemism for a jail with no medical component fo he mostly temporary incarceration of those suspectd of being contagious with CCP flu and probably some with impermissable ideas.
