Wuhan Coronavirus: Are People Collapsing in Public [???]
January 24th, 2020It is extremely difficult to get a clear idea of what is happening in China with regard to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Via: DailyMail:
Disturbing videos have emerged purporting to show people collapsing in the streets of the Chinese city at the centre of the new coronavirus outbreak.
Dozens of videos tagged as coming from Wuhan show people lying in the street, being tended to by medics, or collapsing where they stand as people in face masks rush to help.
The new strain of coronavirus, a SARS-like disease which attacks the respiratory system, has killed at least 26 people and infected 800 worldwide.
MailOnline has been unable to verify the videos, which are being widely circulated on social media.
It is not clear where or when precisely much of the footage was taken, though all of it appears to come from China.
Hard to hear the signal amidst all of the noise, but it does seem that more is happening than is being reported. This supposedly from a nurse in Wuhan, but unverified.

I’ve only been able to determine one thing from all of the Wuhan phone videos that are coming out:
People don’t know how to properly shoot videos on their phones.
Quick tip to anyone using a phone to shoot video:
Turn the phone sideways (landscape mode) before starting to record.
Bonus tip: Many phones can shoot 4k video. Make sure your phone’s video app recording resolution is at least 1080p.
