Hello there,
Didn't see any topics referring to this matter, have you seen what's happening in China? The government has locked people inside their homes, forcing them to have daily testing, police is separating them into quarantine camps (more like concentration camps) if test comes out positive or if experiencing symptoms, even mild. It's astonishing, that all countries are easing measures, since it's yet to be proven whether lockdowns were actually effective, China on the other hand is adopting zero case policies.

This type of lockdown didn't even occur at the start of the pandemic, where the virus was way more deadlier than it is now, after going through numerous mutations, without having medication and vaccines, which enable us to have very limited casualties, compared to 2 years ago.

Not only is it saddening, but also suspicious, is China hiding something else, or is it just being paranoid, imposing tyranny over its citizens? Let me also point out that China has a history of lying to organizations such as WHO about the severity of such infectious diseases (same thing happened with both Covid and SARS).

What are your thoughts regarding this matter?

If China were in a lockdown and quarantine. Recent pictures wouldn't see people walking around, but show a "ghost town" pictures... I see people in the latest pictures. Evaluation: People can still move freely Assessment: Western media need to do more research

Depends on the area, lockdown as a form of quarantine isn't lasting forever, an old acquintance of mine who is married in Shanghai told me that parts of the city were put on strict lockdown for a couple of days (8-10~), restricting movement and so on. It's clearly not a lie that the whole situation is inhumane, Police was beating down citizens, forcing Covid-19 tests with violence, or even killing residential pets. Distorted or not, it's unacceptable.
