Did someone need any pills? As a person that takes medication daily, this would be extremely painful for me.

If you need medication daily, it is generally a good idea to keep that medication in your backpack if possible. Anything can happen; if you're reliant on something, keep it with/close to you.

Anything can happen, but in China, you are more likely to gave your movement and access to medicine restricted than in much of the Western world.

In earlier China lockdowns there were stories of infants starving to death after their parents were forcibly locked down.

that's very different than the story my relatives in china told me. While in quarantine, government sets up dedicated teams of delivery personnel to deliver daily necessities. While the lock down is strict, you are by no means in any danger.
