Locked Down Shanghai Residents Scream From Apartments

A lockdown in Shanghai, China, has kept the city’s 25 million residents confined to their homes for the last 12 days. Some citizens of the world’s third largest city have taken to screaming from their apartment windows in protest. The government has been delivering vegetables to homes, while some neighbors have improvised a barter system. CNN reporter David Culver says government workers have “sealed” front doors to discourage people from leaving.

That screaming is literally one of the most chilling things I have ever heard.

[sandramatias]

The screaming is so terrifying. The fact that the whole city is screaming for help because there starving is just heartbreaking. Ugh

[nevaeh]

If this happened in the U.S, people would be setting fire to the entire apartment complex

[omgmakeup]

this is a huge fire hazard and people could be seriously hurt because of this! what a terrifying situation

One of my cousins live in shanghai. At first, I thought it was a joke when she said they're locked like a prisoners, but then- this is so painful. I hope everything will get back to normal and safety for everyone.

If you're in a position where you have freedom and your basic necessities, be very grateful. This is so heartbreaking 💔

A screaming city is something from nightmares, unbelievable.

this video is benign. Dozens of frustrated and depressed shanghai citizens have been resorting to suicide by straight jumping out their apartments. Residents forced out of their apartments and have had their homes forcefully seized by the government to be turned into quarantine centers. Insufficient food and supplies rationed out to the trapped citizens, with many of the foods supplied to them being past expiration date and already rotten, animals and pets brutally abused and killed by authorities as well. Its all over the internet

Oh gosh, it's not just the scream for starvation but possibly screams for medical help, emergency of life and death situation, and all possible ways of horrific events! God help them!

Sweet Jesus. Never in my darkest nightmares could I ever imagine something like that. A screaming city. Lord help them.

[sunmoonstars]

This is horrendous! God bless these people. I pray everyone is able to get their food and water ok.

[skyyblu]

Prayers go out to us all. This isn't going to be a isolated situation.

[thanosianthemadtitanic]

It's not dystopia it's real life....and that's what makes it even more terrifying

[rhondadiaz]

This is horrifying, these people can't be locked up for much longer and padlocking their doors is disgraceful

[K-zw]

This is definitely not about COVID, this is about something else.

[Emsie]

My heart is breaking. This isn’t about covid. The people need help. 😢

[ramram_]

this gave me literal chills I hope these people can go outside in a normal fashion as soon as possible...

[schweinefleischteinvonreic]

What a time to live in, humanity slowly descending into madness

[typoclerk]

This is frightening. May life persevere and save them all from their torment.

[julies]

When you give the government to much control, this is what happens.
