Whatever worries I had before this moment are quickly perishing because of how empty and absolutely empty Shanghai airport is.
Moreover I have been screened thrice already and seeing how I end up seeing more people while isolated inside the house than I've seen on this airport makes me worry a little less.
No coffee shops are open, except for a subways which is a food joint and that too is empty.
There are some Chinese families still traveling out and maybe there going back to their countries like Taiwan and so on and perhaps some to the west where they can still fly, but except for them there is absolutely no one here .
The immigration line was just five people and the security check for the first time in my life was also an empty conveyer belt.
I'm guessing the flight back home will be with few passengers and as bad as it is I think it's alright.
The fewer people that travel out the better.
Moreover in this vast city of Shanghai with 2.5 crore people there are 316 virus cases and 1 death and well maybe we are just panicking a little bit extra, a bit more than is warranted.
Can you imagine Delhi going into an almost lockdown with such statistics?
