It is insane to quarantine someone who already have gone through multiple negative tests over 14 day period. The risk is so much lower than current population in Shanghai. Simply a waste of quarantine resources.

It is my hope that PRC Embassy and Consulates in the US would also cancel the stupid 7 day departure city requirement. It serves no viable purpose other than making your life miserable.



I also hold Sept. 1 return saver Y award at 35K miles and got upgrade confirmed PVG-SFO-EWR.

With this 7-day departure policy, I'll need to cancel 7 days before my flight SFO-PVG.

Otherwise I need to fly to SFO 7 days in advance and go through this messy 4 tests process.

Not sure when this madness will be over in China. Most optimistic view is November when the emperor gets re-elected again.
