American Shaun Rein, who lives in the Pudong section of Shanghai, has been locked down for 11 days, since his neighbors were identified as"close contacts of close contacts."
"I think there are a lot of people in Shanghai who are saying, you know, right now the medicine is worse than the disease," he told CBS News."We have people who are dying because they can't get access to medical care.
