I recall reading a couple of articles that spoke to a major uptick in domestic violence in China when they were in their lockdown state. Not at all surprising, but it was justified by saying that the focus is on population survival. Kind of a depressing scenario, but here we are.
As I may have mentioned in another thread, I had an encounter with a Winnipeg police officer earlier this week who said things were very slow for them right now, at least relative to what they're used to. But who knows where they might be in a couple of weeks.
