There is outrage over a Chinese city’s proposal to introduce lockdowns for the flu in the case of outbreaks.

The city of Xi’an, which is located in the Shaanxi province and is also home to the famous terracotta warriors, released its emergency response plan this week on social media.

In it, it detailed how it would shut schools, businesses and other crowded places in the megacity of some 13 million people if a severe flu epidemic struck.
