I guess I didn't give a real direction to this thread other than posting the info that was going on in the video.
I don't really have an opinion though about it, I've more just been watching what happens to understand.
Yes the screams were terrifying but it's hard to tell how much of what we are seeing is real or not because in such a large city so few videos are getting past the censors.
I've more been fascinated by how the Chinese government seems to control the narrative of it so well. Or rather there is a certain percentage of the population, whether they believe it or not, openly defend the government's decisions and say they agree with that lockdown.
It is such a different way of thinking in that culture.
Yet there seems to be evidence that not everybody feels that way implying some people have been trapped for over 15 days in a closed down city. I have seen foreigners seem to be making it out, I think many of the footage we have were coming from foreigners which is why the government might have felt the need to let them leave the country since it really has no impact on the city we long as they can keep the people quarantined until they cross the border of China.
But it doesn't seem like a high amount of foreigners have been able to leave. It might be more recent districts that are on a lower level of lockdown that they have approved people leaving.
The poor quality of quarantine sites is shocking and the difficulty of organizing food delivery scary. I know this same thing happened to Wuhan but at the time it was the original outbreak of the disease and the entire world supported the lockdown because they feared it would spread to other countries. It was too late.
