These are thieves looting houses of those who died or are away in quarantine hospitals.
Fuck them.
Since when zerohedge started spreading fake news?
>Screenshots from the video clearly show a group of mostly younger people without masks being led by a handful of masked individuals who don't appear to be wearing any kind of uniform. The reason why they are all bound together is unclear.
Nothing in the article directly supports the idea (implied in the question) that the gov is doing any of this, and any of this for quarantine objectives
However this
>Chinese government officials have referred to the new quarantine measures being implemented in Wuhan (and soon likely throughout Hubei) as 'war time' measures - in keeping with President Xi's 'People's War' rhetoric.
"war time measures"
Hard to figure out what this implies aside from deploying the PLA of course
>Chinese authorities are resorting to increasingly extreme measures in Wuhan to try to halt the spread of the deadly coronavirus, ordering house-to-house searches, rounding up the sick and warehousing them in enormous quarantine centres.
While it probably is happening (drastic measures descibed above), it's indeed unclear if the vids in the OP are related to those measures or totally unrelated (as in looters getting crowd justice for instance)
They have no mask, that's a given
It is happening, but gov isn't stupid and knows people have mobile phones and VPN.
The main problem is western media using/flooding videos without context and stick some clickbait titles/stories to them for traffic/revenues.
By doing so, they prevent real news from getting attention.
It's true
I think it's an honest error on their part, certainly one on my part
"Imagine if your government did this to you?" isn't part of the title it's a question thrown at the end of the article
Those scenes in the vids happen to have surfaced in the same time frame as the so called "war time measures" declaration
correlation does not imply causation I guess
