VIDEO: Chinese Authorities 'Disinfect' Wuhan With Fleets of Trucks Spraying Chemicals in the Air

Fleets of firetrucks can be seen rolling down the streets of Wuhan spraying chemicals in the air.

Chinese government-owned newspaper The People’s Daily released video of the “disinfection” of the city of Wuhan featuring fire trucks and platoons of men in hazmat gear roaming the streets and spraying chemicals in the air.

The People’s Daily, which is the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, posted the video to Twitter.

“Full-front disinfection work has started in #Wuhan, an effort to contain the spread of #coronavirus,” the tweet caption read.

In the footage, fleets of fire trucks can be seen rolling down the streets of Wuhan spraying some type of chemicals, presumably disinfectant, into the air.

The flashing emergency lights and clouds of mist create an interesting scene on what appear to be otherwise deserted streets.

In another clip, men in hazmat suits run while rolling a wheeled liquid cannon down a street, covering storefronts in a white mist.

Another man-portable variant of the “disinfectant” cannon is seen carried by several members of the hazmat crew. This version has a set of twin gas canisters that are mounted to the back of the user.

The footage seems to suggest that the Chinese government is launching a concerted, high-budget operation to fight the spread of the novel Wuhan coronavirus, contrasting with early reports that characterized the virus as a minor infection.

In Indonesia, deplaning passengers were sprayed with liquid as they descended the steps of their flight in an effort to fight the spread of coronavirus.

Via National File: Video footage shows deplaning Indonesian passengers being sprayed with liquid by men in yellow hazmat gear, presumably in an attempt to fight the coronavirus.

The tanks holding the disinfectant liquid appear to be labeled “ALKOHOL.”

The passengers, many of whom are clad in religious garb and facemasks but with no eye protection, are unceremoniously doused with the spray as they descend the airplane staircase.

Clothes and personal belongings appear to be of particular interest to the hazmat crew, but some passengers take blasts direct to the face from the hose.

he video was posted to Twitter by @russian_market with the caption “They call it disinfection? Indonesia… no words.”

The exact makeup of the chemicals used in the disinfection campaign was not released by The People’s Daily.

“Brings back memories of riding behind the truck spraying for skeeters in Tampa in the early 50’s.” same here for the 1960’s in South Carolina ...

Ahh, the good old days, nothing little a little DDT to kill the bugs. We didn't worry about LYME disease back then.

not just reports but videos as well - not a rumor - one shows a woman being approached and then going willingly into a white cube on the back of a PU - when they close the door, she begins shouting and then screaming horribly; why is unknown - perhaps dead people or vomit or feces inside - you guess

She was likely taken to a quarantine camp from which there is no egress - the only amenity supplied is ramen through a one way slot no toilets either

This is the incompetent Chinese trying to look like they’re responding to the problem seriously.

Ah, the joy of holding your breath and riding your bike through the fogger cloud. Was in New Orleans for me. That truck was like the pied piper. Every kid in the neighborhood with a bicycle would follow along behind it.

Last week, they were spraying bleach. Either shoddy reporting, no one knows what it is or they’re trying out different chemicals.

Like building a new hospital in a few days, the spraying of disinfectant fog is public health theatrics. They are signs of panic, to be sure, but they are also signs of a desperate effort by the regime to convince the public that they are on top of the epidemic.

Whats interesting is that the bubonic plague ravaged the Roman Empire during the lifetime of Zhang Fei. In fact bubonic plague periodically ravaged Europe. About 3/4 of the population became ill with about 1/4 of the population dying. The last big plague outbreak was in the 17th century. Despite the horrendous conditions in European urban centers, concentration camps and large POW camps, there was no outbreak of bubonic plague during or after WW II. Why not? there were plenty of rats. It could be that by 1800 the gene associated with plague susceptibility largely was culled from the European population. Bubonic plague never really ravaged Asia. Chinese may have had a resistance to bubonic plague, perhaps not to coronavirus.
