Yes. Why would they try to treat those people who are being carried away, screaming? Who would ever know what really happened to them? And getting rid of them “early” saves money, as well as helps to reduce the potential spreading of the virus.
This country has a history of un-apologetically murdering 60-120 million of its own citizens for political reasons.
I don’t think it is a stretch to think they would murder millions of their own people to keep from looking bad to the outside world.
