I never talked publicly about it, but I just assumed a lot of the footage out of Wuhan in late January was either staged or taken from some other event — all the people collapsing on the street, medical kidnappings, etc. Still not entirely sure how to update on this.https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1238935900391755776 …

I think they're real. A 4ch threads commented on the details of the video and I found them convincing. Medical kidnappings definitely happened, as well as hazmat-suit guys walking with guns out. Mathematically, the numbers of death & the num of videos seemed to match.
Yeah, I never saw any confirmation but they sure seem believable *now.* At the time it seemed like the media coverage was way too cavalier for any of that to be likely happening to the extent that it was, in fact, actually happening
