Crazy Chinese rules, risk of constantly being in a quarantine centre, no plans to reopen the borders, not easy to change a job...
The picture of the rescue workers standing their morning sent chills down my spine.smoulder wrote: ↑Wed, 18 May 2022 9:57 pmWhere's this theory coming from?
OK. Never mind. I just Google searched.

Incredibly sad for all the innocent lives that were lost. Suicide is always a tragedy regardless of the circumstances, but it’s just so selfish to take others down with you.PNGMK wrote: ↑Thu, 19 May 2022 7:51 amMost planes don't go straight down unless commanded to (i.e. pushed down - with the exception of a spin but then more modern planes have spin correction) so most of the time when you see these events (like the Silk Air flight, the Egypt Air flight off US) it's a suicidal pilot.
Yup, the situation in China has seemed pretty bleak recently, especially with the forced quarantines. I’ve read about so many frazzled residents jumping to their deaths from their apartment blocks out of desperation.nelyanne wrote: ↑Fri, 20 May 2022 10:14 amCrazy Chinese rules, risk of constantly being in a quarantine centre, no plans to reopen the borders, not easy to change a job...

Have you seen the videos of residents in China screaming out of the windows of their apartment buildings because they’ve been barred from leaving, even to get food?
Not sure whether it would make you feel any better, but I've heard that those videos of people jumping out of the windows are some old content, not related to the current lockdown. Yes, many terrible things are happening, but there is some fake news as well. The reality in China is so strange that sometimes it's hard to tell what is true or not...Lisafuller wrote: ↑Tue, 24 May 2022 12:23 amYup, the situation in China has seemed pretty bleak recently, especially with the forced quarantines.
