(John Ransom, Headline USA) A video from China shows a breakout from COVID lockdown by a mass of people who simply wanted to get food according to captions on Twitter.
The video is captioned with “The Great Escape from the totalitarian lockdown in Yingping Road, Changzhou Province, Mainland China” and shows hundreds of people massing to push against a metal barricade that eventual goes down as the crowd stampedes, dated April 3.
In the meantime, the severity of the COVID outbreak in Shanghai is being hidden even from medical workers and local authorities, according to the Epoch Times.
“There is no longer a nutritional supply for those who are critically ill,” said one man, requesting to remain anonymous, whose said his father is only given potassium supplements with no fruit or vegetables.
“My father had a heart attack, which led to a lung infection,” the man added.
Earlier in the week China’s communist leaders announced that they were sending out 10,000 health-care workers, including 2,000 soldiers, to help with mass-testing in an effort to get the COVID outbreak under control, said The Hill.
Parents and children were being forcibly separated, depending on their testing results, to prevent the spread of COVID.
But other videos showed more than just health-care workers getting ready to inoculate the Chinese citizens.
One comment about the breakout of citizens in the search for food asked “Where are the tanks?” in reference to military coercion common in China.
In reply, the same source that supplied the video of the breakout showed a video of tanks being brought in to apparently help control the citizenry in an unnamed location.

“As they wished. Tanks were rolling in,” said the Twitter video.
The lockdown, which started on March 25, has been extended indefinitely, and 19 of Shanghai’s hospitals have suspended other medical treatment because of the overwhelming number of COVID cases, said the Epoch Times.
