Realized this was not the Shanghai subreddit and a few were asking for a translation; roughly translated most of the lines below. I have taken the liberty to go for the implied meaning as opposed to the literal meaning when the direct translation sounds off.

这个是真的在叫 – these are real screams

所有人都在叫 – everyone is screaming

要命的 – damn…

就刚刚，5分钟前，叫的人也没几个 – just 5 minutes ago, only a few were screaming

现在突然之间所有人都叫了 – and then now, suddenly everyone is screaming

要死 – damn…

要命 – damn…

再这样下去我跟你讲，要出大事了 – if this continues, I’m telling ya, something horrible will happen

麻烦了 – spells trouble…

根子什么呢 – the reason?

因为所有的人，他都不晓得，这个状态到底维持到什么时光 – because every single person has no clue when this situation will end

你总要给个标准，就是个具体的说法 – you (referring to authorities) should give a standard, or some sort of statement (referring to the lack of official announcements that indicate any end-game strategy for the lockdown because it’s becoming unsustainable)

没！- but there’s none!

你讲讲看 – what did you think was going to happen?

闷了七天 – stuck at home for 7 days

到了屋里面，不能出门哦！不是不能出小区 – can’t even exit, not just the residential complex, but your own door once you’re home!
这不行的么 – 就出事情的嘛 – that won’t work… so we’ve ended up with this bad situation

The real cause of covid has finally been exposed!

Got my second booster. I’m growing an antenna out of my neck.

Got my second booster. I’m growing an antenna out of my neck.

Arm was sore for a day. Gland in armpit was sore for a day.

but fuck this antenna. Still there.

Arm was sore for a day. Gland in armpit was sore for a day.

but fuck this antenna. Still there.

Did the same things happen for your other shots?

I had a swollen gland for the second shot and was sicker. The booster wasn't as bad.

I'm pretty sure he would have mentioned if he grew other antennas.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm pretty sure he would have mentioned if he grew other antennas.

He never mentioned that in the first set of shots he got. So the antenna is new.

Did the same things happen for your other shots?

I had a swollen gland for the second shot and was sicker. The booster wasn't as bad.

I would say my arm was sore with the second shot of Moderna. I felt tired with the first booster (3rd shot), but otherwise no reaction (and I was at my Hawaii house with friends, so I could have been tired because we were staying up late, drinking, snorkeling/swimming all day, hiking the volcano, etc.). The armpit gland thing was new with the second booster (4th shot), but otherwise I've felt fine. I'm kinda wondering if it all has to do with having had COVID (I had COVID in February 2020, before it was really a thing in the US and then again in February of 2022). Did I have the armpit gland reaction because I recently had COVID?

And is the recent COVID reacting with the booster to cause the antenna?

TSA no longer enforcing Covid mask mandate on planes, public transit after judge overturns CDC rule

• A federal judge in Florida on Monday rule that the CDC had overstepped its authority when it issued a mask mandate for planes and other forms of public transportation.
• The TSA is not enforcing the mask mandate at this time, a Biden administration official said.
• White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the administration is reviewing the court’s ruling and Justice Department will decide whether or not it will appeal.
• The court’s ruling comes less than a week after the CDC extended the mandate for 15 days, amid a rise in Covid infections nationwide due to the more contagious omicron BA.2 subvariant.
