You definitely could be right. The video that was truly frightening was the “Wuhan at night” video, but some people were saying that it was actually an orchestrated protest. If it was, it was very well done.
It was a protest and a counter to the early government sponsored late night cheers. The people were telling us how they really feel. Not how the deep state wants them to feel (Go Wuhan. We can do it. Struggle is neccassary. Yada yada.).
