These stories have been around forever. Are they real? What’s the context behind them? Seems a little heavy handed and possibly hazardous.
Two things to consider.
First is that usually they were back doors, they were sealed so people only used one entrance and exit to each building. Sometimes they sealed the front door and not the back to reduce traffic on some streets and lower the spread of covid.
Second is if the quarantine was in effect and you were not allowed to leave, and still did it, what else can the government do? China enforces their laws more strictly than we do in Europe and they have a different outlook on this than we do (community responsibility, etc).
Would it be better to take them to prison? Put them in an expensive quarantine hotel? They get to stay home and do their quarantine.
In China also they had food delivered every week (or even day). A support system we did not have in the west - - you couldn’t prevent people from going out because they needed to go get groceries.
Here we’re used to being able to do anything we feel like and even during quarantine when you were not allowed to go out, people didn’t care and still did it. Some places even didn’t prevent you from going out because they knew it was unenforceable.
Well how would they deliver food if the doors are weld shut is what I was thinking. And what if there’s a fire in the building. I’m
notmore inclined to believe that they want to reduce the number of exits but even that could be dangerous in an emergency that required evacuation. Thank you for the response.Lol that’s actually a good question. Probably through other entrances (windows or purpose-made openings). Tbh when the videos came out I tried looking it up but couldn’t find any information because every search was obviously polluted by the “evil China is now welding people in their homes” and no more context.
Truthfully my first explanation is probably the only correct one and the second one about repeat offenders or whatever likely never happened.
Oops I made an egregious typo in my previous comment.
I saw the videos and believed it myself and my stalinist instincts kicked in and immediately started demanding we start welding Q-anon hillbillies into their houses like glorious China, later I found out that it was made up
I’m 99 percent sure its made-up as well, but if you have proof I’d love to see it.
its in chinese but here: https://k.sina.com.cn/article_1644114654_61ff32de02000w0p3.html
Basically a couple people did get sealed in with bars at the start of the pandemic, but they weren’t sick they were just returning from Wuhan, China was ready to go full black plague lockdown at the start but this was just one local officials decision and they changed it pretty fast
