There's a disturbing video floating about of sick people being shot in China by what look like government officials.
You don't actually see them getting shot up close, just the people in Hazmat suits loading their guns and bangs and screams in the distance.
Of course everyone in the comments is quick to say it is debunked but I can't really tell from the footage. $:-\$

Brisbane. Both Chinatown and Sunnybank, which has a huge Chinese population and probably more Chinese businesses than Chinatown these days.

If you're not Chinese you are perfectly safe.

If you are Chinese, get a gas mask and a hazmat suit.

Yeah, we all need to admire people welded shut in their homes and cities of millions blocked from the outside world while whistle-blowers die of deadly diseases because the government wanted to keep this under wraps for a couple of weeks.

Also, finally read a bit about epidemic containment, and wow it's wild
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/15/business/china-coronavirus-lockdown.html

Quote

Hangzhou has barred pharmacies from selling analgesics to force people with symptoms to seek treatment at hospitals.

Quote

An app developed by a state-run maker of military electronics lets Chinese citizens enter their name and national ID number and be told whether they may have come in contact, on a plane, train or bus, with a carrier of the virus.

Quote

The authorities are also combining enormous manpower with mobile technology to track people who may have been exposed to the virus. China’s state-run cellular providers allow subscribers to send text messages to a hotline that generates a list of provinces they have recently visited.

At a high-speed rail station in the eastern city of Yiwu this past week, workers in hazmat suits demanded that passengers send the text messages that show their location data before being allowed to leave.
