  11. “Can we just make up our minds, and decide to lock down for several days or a week? No, we cannot.

  13. Why not? Since Shanghai, our city, does not merely belong to the people here, it plays a crucial role in the economic and social operation of the whole country.
  14.  
  15. I think all citizens in Shanghai shall consider the problem at a more microscopic scale.”
