It's been a bit worse than "not going to Wendy's".

Starvation is not an exaggerated description of some of the Shanghai lockdown experiences:

The major of Shanghai let the outbreak get out of control because of concerns over "the economy". On the other hand, the border across the Amur in Heilongjiang province is porous, there is no shortage of imported cases. Any outbreaks in Heihe across the river from Blagoveshtshensk are brought under control swiftly and without fuss.

Shanghai health officials tried to control the outbreak with testing and neighbourhood-wide lockdowns; in hindsight they should have done the full lockdown earlier.
