  • This video has just been posted from inside Wuhan. It sounds like something I would imagine from a vision of Dante's version of Hell... however it is more important than that. It suggests that the residents of Wuhan are reaching the end of their tether.. I don't know how much longer China will be able to keep up the current levels of quarantine there without the situation exploding on a society level. I also think that whatever our views of China may be, we do need to thank them for buying us all time. This video embodies the great personal cost of the individuals there. We do need to remember this as things unfold in the weeks and months ahead in our own countries.

      That is incredibly disturbing.

        This is very disturbing indeed. Any idea of its veracity?

        • Unfortunately not - just one of the video's that surfaced on Youtube, but would have thought it is very hard indeed to fake -you would need a large cast and quite considerable technical expertise and time to fake that I think. There have been others similar to this, but these were more about the night shout outs to people to 'stay strong' etc at night. The tone has changed. I would expect the isolation will be getting to many.

                Citizen journalist Chen Qiushi, Wuhan resident Fang Bin, and former CCTV reporter Li Zehua, went missing in February this year while investigating the live broadcast epidemic in Wuhan, and have not heard from it for more than a month. Someone online today called them "Soul" --- Chen Qiushi Fang Bin Li Zehua went home!

                During the field closure in Wuhan, three people who reported the epidemic: Chen Qiushi, Fang Bin, Li Zehua, and others lost contact in February this year. Up to now, there has been no news at all, causing concern. Today on Twitter, some netizens called for them to say that power is the soul--Chen Qiushi, Fang Bin, and Li Zehua go home!

                Chen Qiushi arrived in Wuhan on the eve of Wuhan ’s closure. He assured everyone that his report would not create rumors, and seek truth from facts. Then he sent videos of hospitals, seafood markets, street scenes, etc. from Wuhan to show the outside world a Wuhan that is different from the official media. His report came to an abrupt end on February 7. He finally told his mother on the YouTube channel that he was going to film the situation in Wuhan Fangcai Hospital, and then lost his contact that day. There is no news so far.

                Fang Bin, a Wuhan resident who met Chen Qiushi, also filmed and reported the epidemic in Wuhan. The video he sent to the outside world included the tragedy of the hospital morgue. So on February 9, Fang Bin also evaporated. His final video showed that the person wearing the protective suit knocked on the door and asked to take a temperature check. He said that his temperature was OK and he tried to refuse.

                Former CCTV reporter Li Zehua disappeared last on February 26. The goals of his visit include the Baibuting District, where banquets are held, funeral homes for sky-high recruitment of corpses, Wuchang Railway Station where migrant workers are stranded ... In the end, he touched the red line --- Wuhan P4 Virus Institute. According to the Free Asia report, on February 26, Li Zehua's video on YouTube read that he was being hunted by Guoan for visiting the P4 virus office in Wuhan. The laboratory is suspected to be the source of the outbreak. That night, Li Zehua lived on Youtube for four hours. The last few people with masks entered his room. Black screen of live broadcast.

                There have been no new confirmed cases in Wuhan for three consecutive days. The outbreak appears to be ending. However, the three reporters had no information. People are concerned about their safety, and some worry that they will be made "positive."

                        This is really horrible. They are beating humans the way they were beating dogs during the first wave.

                        It made sense trying to control the initial outbreak so hospitals were unburdened, but hoping an illness like this could be eradicated was madness. They should have prepared people for reality.

                            In Wuhan, cradle of the coronavirus epidemic, an organized techno mega-party

                            Thousands of Chinese braved the fear of the epidemic in Wuhan, the epicenter of the new coronavirus, during a techno mega-party in a water park that made a lot of talk, Monday, August 17, on social networks.

                            On Saturday August 15, in Wuhan in China's Hubei province, revelers gathered in a giant swimming pool to the sound of techno.

                            China, where Covid-19 first appeared at the end of last year , has largely contained the virus since, with just a few dozen new daily cases reported in recent days by official records .

                            Buoy, techno music but no mask

                            The metropolis of Wuhan (center) , cut off from the world for 76 days between January and April, has also gradually returned to normal life after being the first city on the planet to be quarantined due to coronavirus.

                            Last weekend, the Maya Beach Water Park was thus filled to the brim with swimsuits, dancing closely side by side to the sound of electronic music and visibly without any mask on the horizon.

                            The establishment reopened in June and limits attendance to 50%, according to local media. The entrance ticket is also reduced by 50% for women.

                            Many participants paddled in a large orange buoy, alone or with others.

                            To restore economy

                            The images broadcast by AFP have prompted scathing comments on social networks, as the Covid-19 has infected more than 21 million people around the world, including more than 766,000 fatally.

                            "This is how we cause a second or a third epidemic wave!" It's smart… ” wrote a user on Twitter.

                            While many Chinese continue to limit their travel and wear masks in public, the city of Wuhan is seeking to revive its economy severely affected by the epidemic at the start of the year.
