Disturbing images of Wuhan residents dropping unresponsive to the floor have emerged on Instagram following the diseased Chinese city's coronavirus lockdown.

Wuhan has been branded a “zombieland” by frantic locals after Chinese authorities told residents they are not allowed to leave yesterday morning.

Pictures from inside the city paint an apocalyptic picture as medics patrol in hazmat suits and gas masks.

In an upload direct from Wuhan, a man can be seen lying unresponsive on the floor as concerned individuals look on

not an pandemic expert, but do people normally just drop walking on street

Depends how many bars there are.

Sounds like this is Yuge and Series ...

but do people normally just drop walking on street?

Most likely they have been sick for over a week with lower respiratory effects (or pneumonia) and finally reach a point of pulmonary exhaustion.
It’s not like they just caught it and suddenly keeled over.

I said two days ago that we will know within the week if this thing is going to get bad or not if we start hearing the words ‘travel restriction’ and ‘quarantine’ a lot. We are already starting to hear it a lot now. :(

I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve seen posted that these videos are frauds and come from some cheap SciFi movie....

That’s the same picture of the same individual on the ground posted in multiple threads. There may be dead in the streets but this isn’t proof.... Sounds like we have enough potential cases in the US that we are about to get first hand data on what is really going on.

Walk down Michigan ave in Chicago you’ll see passed-out people in doorways about every 200 feet.

Well the guys in hazmat suits...i would imagine that WHOLE area would Really be sealed off to any recording technology such as smart phones etc...

So you might be right.

That's a phenomenon I recall seeing only with people executed by a firing squad. If you're suffering from a respiratory infection, I imagine the process of "dropping" would be a bit more gradual. And if you'd reached that juncture, you probably wouldn't be on the streets.

An estimated 20 to 50 million people died of the flu epidemic of 1918.

“Coronavirus” just doesn’t roll off the tongue for media purposes.

I saw one pundit call it the KUNG-FLU

That’s what I’m calling it from now on.

oh dear... xD

Those videos are real. My wife’s news feeds from inside China have her scared. The hospitals are out of supplies, people are dying in the halls waiting, or go home to die. All are being turned away without party connections now (5% of population).

The new hospital they are building will not get supplies either, but will be a showplace for the media.

Don’t worry the Chinese say it’s not as bad as it seems as they furiously attempt to build 1000 bed hospital in 6 days, and shut down transportation service for 23 million people.

Yesterday there was a video posted here of people just collapsing in the street.

It turned out to be a scene from the movie Contagion. :)

Me too.:)

In all seriousness, I bet there’s some wise Chinese acupuncture/herbalist somewhere who knows of the right nature sources and plants to keep the body strong.
