The authoritarian Communist Regime in China is compelling its residents to do the unthinkable after implementing an impossible “zero-Covid” policy. Some 26 million people in the financial capital of China, Shanghai, have actually been locked down tight for over 2 weeks. Chinese citizens are literally starving and deprived of other basic requirements to the point where a number of them are killing themselves.
As Shanghai enters week two of strict COVID lockdowns, some video clips have gone viral on social networks revealing anguished residents howling from the windows of their high-rise apartment or condo buildings, while others consider ending their lives.

In a scene straight out of a dystopian horror movie, it appears the government rather than providing desperately needed help responded to the window screaming by sending a drone playing a message instructing the residents to keep quiet and comply with government imposed restrictions.

A woman is heard screaming, “We are starving to death.” A man shouts, “We haven’t eaten for a very long time.” It’s like a scene from a medieval siege.
A resident from one building showcased a completely empty fridge on a veranda.

The Independent reported:
Deaths by suicide in Hong Kong have reached a “crisis level” amid the city’s fifth COVID-19 wave, according to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Center for Suicide and Prevention at the University of Hong Kong.
Research compiled by the group shows China’s suicide index registered 4.03 deaths per day over a seven-day period between March 11 to 18, hovering around 11 to 12 death by suicide cases per million people which crosses the crisis-level mark of 3.56 in its rolling analysis, Independent reports.
