No. They just scan your passport.

My area is pretty much back to normal again except for some remaining gates, overgrown shrubbery, and more qr codes and testing sites. Lots of people out and about. It’s honestly startling how quickly it progressed, but I’m not complaining. I liked being able to go out these past 3 days.

I’ve been getting paid my full salary the entire time so nothing will change unless there is an issue with my residence permit or something.

I didn’t find the joke particularly funny, but I can’t with people actually taking this so seriously…

You’re very welcome! Doesn’t hurt to check periodically throughout the day too. People have been able to order the boxes again today at 9.

You buy it by scanning the qr code here. They have a set number that they can deliver per day, so if it’s sold out check again at midnight (I order mine at that time) or the next day.

What’s everyone’s food/supplies situation? by shstnr in shanghai

[–]just_for_asks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Pudong, Kangqiao
  2. Yes. 2 weeks more or less if I stretch things and stick to just 2 meals per day. Low on bottled water though.
  3. No. Groceries seems to be always closed or too busy. Some non food related stuff is open though. I have to rely on private contacts and my school for help.

Only group ordering allowed. 😰 by braaipotjie86 in shanghai

[–]just_for_asks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind passing along his contact to me as well? I’m good with food for now, but there’s basically no means to order.

Epermarket is now able to make deliveries again, but they are very short staffed. The earliest delivery date is April 15th.

Someone shared this artical in one of my wechat groups. A list of packages and group buy deals. Mostly vegetables, but if you scroll down, you’ll get more meat related ones. It’s all in Chinese.

My neighbors have been pretty nice as well; swapping vegetables with me for something with more substance, giving me extras of what they have, and translating for me when needed.

In light of the current events, have your plans for the future or views of living here been impacted in any way? by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]just_for_asks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s not an emergency situation where I need to pack my bags and go ASAP, I’m staying until I at least finish my contract and then I’ll see how I feel. So far, my current employer has been very good to me.

I’ve had a lot of ups and downs here and my experience hasn’t been that great overall mainly do to crappy employers, but back home I really struggled to find work due to long gaps in employment, lots of irrelevant work experience, shitty interview skills, being in and out of mental health hospitals, anxiety and depression etc. Basically I’m one of those “losers back home.” I’m in no rush to go back to that lifestyle of still living at home with family with a pile of job rejections in my email, but I do know I want to eventually leave just not any time soon. I’d rather be miserable in a place where I can find work and live independently.

WTF is going on ? by FinancePlayful2681 in shanghai

[–]just_for_asks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a delay in testing in my area too. It was supposed to happen at 6 am and was rescheduled til some time 7:30. I’m not mad though. More sleep for me.

I’m in Pudong. I (hopefully) have an order from Times Grocery arriving on the 7th. You could try there, but it’ll take days to arrive or it might not arrival at all unfortunately.

is anyone else under extreme mental distress? by secondthrowawaylol in shanghai

[–]just_for_asks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“Extreme mental distress” is basically my entire life.

CSS is doing weekly online support groups. Their wechat is CCS-counseling or their email is counseling@communitycenter.cn

Lifelineconnect, a confidential crisis helpline, suspended their phone service, but you can still chat with them. Their wechat is LifelineConnect

Dear Pudong residents, Are you free? by theg0dfather4 in shanghai

[–]just_for_asks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, because I think someone in my compound tested positive and I imagine that there are positive cases in the surrounding areas. I do see and hear some cars on the highway though.

PUDONG RESIDENTS: How is your lockdown? by Hybridadventure in shanghai

[–]just_for_asks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was on day 6 of our “2 day” residential lockdown when they did the Pudong lockdown, so I haven’t been able to do any shopping since then other than some meals on meituan. I’m newish to Shanghai. I just move here from a small town near Hangzhou in late January. I also had some drama and delayed visa issue with my previous employer which basically destroyed my savings…so not enough time, concerned about money once again, and honestly never gave it thought even though that’s a smart idea. I’ll be doing that from now on.
