The authoritarian Communist Regime in China is forcing its citizens to do unthinkable things after enforcing an impossible “zero-Covid” policy.

Some 26 million people in the financial capital of China, Shanghai, have been locked down tight for over two weeks. Chinese citizens are desperate for food and other basic necessities to the point where many of them are killing themselves.

As Shanghai enters week two of strict COVID lockdowns, some videos have gone viral on social media showing frustrated residents screaming from the windows of their high-rise apartment buildings, while others already think of killing themselves.

China’s financial capital, Shanghai, began what was announced to be an eight-day lockdown on March 28, but has since enforced an indefinite citywide quarantine.

In what looks like a scene from a dystopian horror movie, it appears the government responded to the window screaming by sending a drone playing a message instructing the residents to keep quiet and comply with restrictions.

A woman is heard screaming, “We are starving to death.”

While a man shouts, “We haven’t eaten for a very long time.”

Then, a resident from another apartment showcased a refrigerator bare of food on a balcony.

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.
