Shanghai Residents Self-Quarantine Over Fears CCP Is Covering Up Extent of Outbreak
They don t trust the government is providing real COVID-19 data
The communist regime is underreporting the extent of Shanghai’s CCP virus outbreak, say residents of China’s financial hub. This has made many too scared to leave their homes, The Epoch Times has learned.
One resident told the Chinese-language Epoch Times that the city has constructed a makeshift hospital to treat COVID-19 patients, although the government has denied such claims, saying that the building is a normal residential compound.
Others have said they don’t trust the government’s daily updates for real information on the extent of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak. Residents told The Epoch Times that they read the official announcements only to understand government’s sentiments toward the situation each morning, and then use that to make their own estimates.
