[Frontline interviews]Shanghai people resist inhumane official intimidation of epidemic prevention | Nucleic acid testing | City closure | Protest

[The Epoch Times, April 13, 2022](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Ning Haizhong and Luo Ya) After Shanghai, the hardest-hit area of ​​the epidemic, was completely closed down and forced to conduct nationwide inspections, many protests against nucleic acid testing and compulsory isolation broke out. . The Shanghai police announced today (13th) that behaviors such as positive patients refusing to undergo isolation and refusing to undergo nucleic acid testing may be involved in illegal arrests. However, some people in Shanghai questioned that the official nucleic acid test was itself an act of spreading the disease.

Shanghai police issue notice to suppress protests related to epidemic prevention

The Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau issued the “Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Social Order During the Period of Epidemic Prevention and Control” on the 13th, which mentioned a number of prohibitions. Anyone who violates public security management will be punished according to public security management; if a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility will be investigated. .

Announcement of prohibited behaviors involves people in the enclosed and controlled areas leaving their homes without authorization during the closed management period; people in the enclosed and controlled areas leave residential areas without authorization or conduct gathering activities during the period of home health monitoring; prevent unauthorized entry of people in the areas The number of people in the closed area, control area, or prevention area is not reasonably controlled; Violation of isolation control regulations, deliberately destroying door magnets and seals; refusing to accept nucleic acid testing and antigen testing organized by the city’s epidemic prevention department and medical institutions; positive infection Refusing to receive quarantine treatment as required, etc.

The notice also mentioned that the city prohibits motor vehicles from driving on the road, except for those in need of epidemic prevention and control, living security, urban operation, emergency response, and emergency medical treatment.

What was left on Weibo were basically pro-official comments.

On Twitter, some netizens said: “More ruthless is coming!”

The Central News Agency reported that this was the authorities’ “restraint in the face of protests”.

Mr. Zhu, a financial practitioner who has lived in Shanghai for more than 40 years, told The Epoch Times that the Shanghai Public Security Bureau issued this notice just to show that the CCP’s top-down bureaucratic system has no professionalism, rationality, humanity, or humanity at all. It’s just a chaotic measure that just wants to achieve the “superior order”.

He believes that this announcement is clearly aimed at people’s boycotts, “I thought that Shanghai people were timid, realistic, high-quality and good at management… But the other side of the matter is that timidity actually contains rationality, which is not true. They are easy to bully, which also means that it is difficult for the CCP to brainwash them completely.”

Shanghai frequently boycotts inhumane epidemic prevention incidents

On the Internet, some Shanghai community residents protested against being quarantined and boycotted nucleic acid testing.

A video released on April 12 showed that the neighborhood committee in Kangle District, Xuhui District, Shanghai, has been suspended for 20 days. (click to seevideo）

On April 4, a woman in Shanghai who was unwilling to undergo nucleic acid testing was forcibly taken away from her home by the police on the grounds that she violated the epidemic prevention law.

Two people in protective suits knocked on the door and read the document loudly: “On suspicion of refusing to implement the ’emergency’ decision, I am summoning you to go to Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, before 12:00 on April 4, 2022. …” After the reading, several police officers started to arrest people. One of the police officers tried to arrest the resident’s man. The man protested loudly: “You are breaking the law…” The child cried loudly. The woman was taken away in a white police car, shouting, “What law did I commit? What law did I commit?”

The Shanghai authorities’ “clearing” policy implemented a black box operation, causing many citizens with negative test certificates to suddenly receive positive notices. More and more Shanghai citizens swear to the death to go to the shelter to be quarantined. Under these circumstances, the authorities began to dispatch armed personnel to enter the shelter. Enter the dwellings and use various weapons to subdue the resisting residents.

On April 12, several neighborhood committees in Shanghai even issued notices, intimidating citizens who refused to transfer to the shelter, “will always have a red code and never take off their hats.”

People question nucleic acid testing to spread the virus

While the official nucleic acid test is mandated, many people question that the nucleic acid test itself is the reason for the spread of the epidemic. (Shanghai citizens do nucleic acid testing overnight, there are long queues, click to watch the video)

Dong Ping (pseudonym), a Shanghai Pudong resident who could not be named, told The Epoch Times that everyone doesn’t know now, and the government’s desperate investigation is a waste of manpower and material resources. The more you investigate, the more tossing the common people.

“I doubt, how can there be more and more. It is this nucleic acid problem. I suspect that someone has poisoned it. Now I suspect that there is a problem with this nucleic acid.”

A video circulated on the Internet by Professor Zhang Tangde, chief physician of Shenzhen Southern University of Science, said that nucleic acid testing may increase the chance of infection, which is the moment when you take off your mask and test.

He said that a group of people took off their masks during the test, and then, ah—breathing, the virus spreads in the air, the particles of the virus are very small, it will be suspended for a long time, and as soon as the people behind come in, ah— – A breath, a breath – Among these hundred people, even if there is only one person, then you think there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people doing nucleic acid testing here, and after the test, they go home, and after returning home , Re-contact, infection, the next time you come to check, there will be hundreds of people, and the next time it will be thousands of people.

Dong Ping, a resident of Pudong in Shanghai, also said, “They are all locked at home, how can you be infected? I don’t understand, because when the nucleic acid is tested, everyone has to go downstairs and line up, and now they keep a distance of one or two meters, why is there still? That? It must be someone who is positive, he opened his mouth, and it came out, the second one went in and checked again, and again, it was sucked in.”

Ms. Yumei (pseudonym) from Shanghai told The Epoch Times that she knew that some people did not do nucleic acid testing. The reason was that it was wasteful and unnecessary. The national medical insurance fund was all emptied by those nucleic acid and vaccine companies, who made a lot of money bowl full. The second is that if the sputum test is ok, everyone is saying that the cotton swab for nucleic acid test has materials that are not good for the human body in it, and there are carcinogens in it.

Taiwan expert: Only very few severe cases do not need large-scale testing, the Shanghai epidemic is doubtful

In an interview with the Epoch Times reporter, Li Longteng, deputy director of the Department of Health of the Taiwan Executive Yuan, said that whether to conduct large-scale nucleic acid testing depends on the severity of the epidemic. If the test results show that out of a thousand people, only ten or twenty have symptoms, or even only one is severely ill. That is to say, many of them did not win the bid. The same is true if you go to test all of them.

He said that the virus is very contagious now, but the toxicity is very low, like the flu. Is it necessary for everyone to check what kind of influenza he has? It’s worth reconsidering whether or not all of them should be tested. “Then if more than half of the patients they made in Shanghai were symptomatic, or many were severely ill, comprehensive screening is necessary.”

However, up to now, the official information released by Shanghai shows that as of April 13, the total number of confirmed cases in this round of the epidemic that began in early March exceeded 200,000, with only one severe case. The officially announced asymptomatic infection rate is about 96%. .

Li Longteng believes that there is no need to do it again. As for saying that Shanghai officials put mild and asymptomatic people in square cabins for centralized isolation, Li Longteng said, “Maybe they don’t quite believe that people will isolate themselves. Like Taiwan, we believe that people will isolate themselves, and everyone is afraid of being infected, so you If you have a room at home to isolate yourself, you will not be able to infect each other.”

On April 12, the United States ordered the non-emergency staff of the embassy in China to evacuate from Shanghai.

Li Longteng said that this is because people do not know what happened in China. Is it that serious? Or is there any political intention? If it is not that serious, most of them are mild, or even have no symptoms, in fact, it is not so scary, just wear a mask and you will be fine.

He believes that humaneness must be taken into account in epidemic prevention. “The epidemic must be both economical and people’s livelihood, and we will not only care about the epidemic. If we ignore people’s livelihood, there is a possibility of being complained by the public, so we should all be concerned about it.”

In addition, we must pay attention to the evolution of the epidemic. Li Longteng said: “Make a plan early, and don’t seal it all up when something happens temporarily.”
