Is Zero Corona an “Invisible Cultural Revolution”?Is it de facto martial law for the party convention?
(Kaori Fukushima: Journalist)
In three prefectures of Guizhou Province, China, a “quarantine bus” carrying 47 citizens who were transferred to an isolation facility for the zero corona policy fell into the bottom of a valley at midnight, causing a major accident in which 27 people died and 20 people were injured. rice field. The Internet was flooded with angry voices saying that the accident was a man-made disaster.
The reason why such an accident occurred is that China is currently implementing a partial lockdown and a zero-corona policy called “static management” throughout the country, and the forced isolation of citizens accompanying it is under the cover of darkness in the middle of the night. This is because there are many cases.
Both the driver and the crew are dressed in rough white protective clothing that makes it difficult to move, and the bus runs for hours, isolating positive people and citizens who may be infected in the remote mountains. Drivers drive at high speed on mountain roads with no streetlights, wearing protective clothing that suffocates and narrows their field of vision. The bus was packed with children, the elderly, and pregnant women, and we didn’t know where we would be taken, so the inside of the bus was full of yelling and screaming with anxiety and anger. The driver will be impatient, and it can be said that the accident was bound to happen.
A video of the inside of this isolation bus (vehicle that has not caused an accident) is circulating on the Internet, but citizens are making a fuss about “get off the bus!” It’s not that citizens are bad. If I were to be suddenly forced into isolation in the middle of the night, without restroom breaks, and taken by bus for hours to some unknown place, even I would make a fuss.
The bus that caused the accident left Guiyang City at midnight on September 18 to go to an isolation hotel in Libo County, Qiannan Province. The accident happened around 2:40 am. About 170 kilometers southeast of Guiyang, it tumbled off a highway in the mountains and into a valley. Twenty people have been taken to hospital for treatment. Help probably wouldn’t come right away.
By the way, quarantined citizens are not positive. There was one close contact in the area, so all the residents of the community were quarantined. Perhaps the reason why Guiyang people were taken to Qiannan Prefecture was because there were too many inmates and the facilities in Guiyang were full.
