3 Days that Stopped the World | Al Jazeera Investigations

- Mid January, 2020. Two Chinese journalists were sent to Wuhan to investigate a mysterious virus outbreak. This is their account of the three days before Wuhan entered lockdown. The World Health Organization held meetings to decide if the epidemic was a global health emergency. It did not consider it so. When the journalists arrive, locals were busy preparing for upcoming Chinese New Year celebration. At the time, not much was known about the virus that was just days away from changing the world. Then came a pivotal announcement: human-to-human transmission was confirmed. The journalists witnessed a city of 11 million people transform overnight. Initial nonchalance was quickly replaced by panic. People started wearing masks, shops were shuttered. They shuttled between the increasingly saturated hospitals and Huanan Seafood Market, at the time thought to be the epicentre of this contagion. And they were stopped at every juncture. Their reports were censored and their investigations blocked. @AJIUnit

this guy has steel balls to confront the police and the virus in wuhan... real hero of journalism
For what cause? Give guilt to Chinese government? The world knows Bill gates Dr Fauci Pentagon are in researching "gain of function" experiments in deadly viruses. All of the labs moved to overseas in tropic areas.
They have evidence of Spain in March 2019 the sewage samples have covid19. Remember summer 2019, many patients with pulmonary disease died within two weeks (God bless them and condolences to those families), they were written off as vape related pulmonary injury. 34 deaths of 1604 cases off CDC website. Thatis 2.1% death rate. Median age is 45 years old. Looks a lot like the numbers of covid. As of 04/06/2021, 2,875,844 deaths, of 132,499,396 confirmed cases. Covid global death rate =2.17%.
The evidence suggests earlier transmissions than we believed. Now they are no longer counting pulmonary diseases of patients due to vaping related injuries, although people in USA are continuing to vape.
@Caponezheater very well written, but the world knows covid was spreading around before September 2019 due to irrefutable evidence released to the public. (Italy, Spain, Brazil) And very much USA had covid19 symptoms reported but passed through as vape related deaths. The exact origins is still unknown.
Scientifically, hitting a vape is not going to cause entry for ACE2 pathway leading to damage seen in lungs also seen in other cancer related diseases. If that was the case there would be more studies that can elaborate on your claims, as in scientifically other communities can look into the vape pen, conduct tests, find that whatever is in those vape pen.
The vaping issues back in 2019 coincidentally the same year covid was reported, both covid and vaping issues in USA had same symptoms, ratios in numbers, statistics, and as you say it, many people vape and as do many people breathe the air. What should be said is that maybe vaping makes people more susceptible to flu like symptoms and with up regulation to ACE2 inhibitor. But, yet even then there is evidence in study shown that it is not true, smoking does up regulate, but it was not found for vaping. (ATSJournals. Org). Continuing with 2019, Covid19 was not yet known and not yet profiled. This was not exclusive to USA, there are many pulmonary disorder and issues reported in other countries during that same year. Of course not a single report will write covid19 because it was not yet known to the database. As in, they weren't even checked for covid19 because the global community was not aware of it. There were no covid19 test kits yet.
.
.
Only ones that knew were the Pentagon funded research for the gain-of-function scientists back even early as of 2013. (can search "covid19 2013") But the objective of Gain-of-function were to benefit the mass population of the future by preventing killer diseases from spreading. Look out for the next killer virus, H5N1 mutant. Where is the vaccine though?
All the things I wrote here is not from my own thinking. They are from sources available to the public. They are searchable and readable. Such as searching, "covid19 2013", you can see scientific journals stating their facts. Not mine. Pubmed is also a good website. It is what a lot of doctors and investigators will look at as well. I only raise awareness because we should all be doing better together. H5N1 mutant will kill a lot of people. If raising awareness saves lives, then i think you should too. Stronger together by gaining deeper understandings.
@Caponezheater please stay on topic. We are talking about viruses and it does not care about politics or who is right or wrong. In my humanitarian view it is more important to raise awareness and critical thinking then talking about burden of proof reversal. Which by the way is not seen in many scientific ideologies. Paper is presented, read by others in scientific community, checked and proved themselves to see if they arrive at the same logical conclusion for it to be peer reviews. As you can see, burden is distributed evenly, because other people are also determined to provide the same proof of outcome or not. And they don't talk about burden in papers. Of course my example here is not well written, but I hope you can understand that is done in astronomy, medicine, physics, etc. Such as at CERN, they need to have 5 sigma of confidence interval to rule out many types of errors, in order to determine a theory is successful. Even if I provided irrefutable evidence, you do not believe anything until you have made your own discoveries and to lead yourself to your own conclusions, and only so that would be considered as critical thinking rather holding a belief. So, I ask you what are your thoughts?
3:22 of this video it tells you these are actors reading the journalists words
@Caponezheaterh
One thing I've learned is if you want the real scoop of what's going on in the city and surrounding areas, ask a taxi driver. That guy knew a whole lot.
also, if you want to learn what's actually going on in your country, watch international news channels.

It's like we are all sitting in the theater and watching with abated breath "what next?" The suspense in a movie never killed us like this suspense is driving everyone mad.
It feels like 1 year for me.
Its definitely been a weird year
Boycott china so he never created that type of stuff again
I would have been terrified being that journalist. So much respect for those putting their lived in the line in order to tell the truth.
So right a pity we can't even know his true identity as they could ruin his life for this
Risking their own life(and family) to get the truth.
Yes
NOT TELL ''TO SELL''
Imagine how many died reporting
How many of you are watching this today and recollecting the memories of initial days of the outbreak and getting a chill ??
@São João do mundo there is no place for truth in this world now. . even in my office at work doest help. It's a bunch of liars and hypocrites we have to play around with them and try to get some personal benefits.
@São João do mundo you are brainwashed by the propaganda! the virus was originate in USA!!!
I remember there were rumours on chinese social media in late December 2019 on a deadly wuhan virus. Scientists from Hong Kong went to wuhan to investigate only to find the market barred off and cleaned. The rumour was floating around a few weeks before the lock down of wuhan.
@@rickyhe8817 how did the virus originate in the USA
It's just a flu
"What's done in the dark always comes to light".

The merit of catchy phrases is way overblown.
What if it's done in light
Yep, the whole truth of resurrection is that The Light of the World reaches us even when we are sitting in the darkness. The world and the powers of darkness try as much as they may, one day the Light will come to expel the darkness and reveal The Truth to the world.
If something of it does not how do would you know?
The courage he showed filming with his phone and just gently shifted the subject and distracted "the government" lady and police... I'm in awe!
Heroic journalism! Thank you both, "Chen" and "Yang" =)
I would have been shaking in my boots. These people's dedication to the truth is phenomenal. And then, there's Donald Gump.
It's so scary one wrong move and he is gone missing
Seriously bold.
There are over 600 million CCTV cams in China, but that one cam in the hands of a journalist is too much.
why
@Ferland Mendy nah chinese gov't have pioneered this technology, and developed a much advanced firewall and trojan-like script to track every internet package flow, no matter text, image and video
@Ferland Mendy at least you can still use any actions and opinion to take pressure to gov't on setting up a EU-like privacy law, while China could take pressure on you if criticizing privacy policies

@Mogulis Valar ok buddy
Hats off to this guy who took a big risk even on his own life despite being targeted
China china china it will become superpower soon if we haven't do anything world will be in sorrow so many lives lost so many jobs lost poverty at all time high so sad its just because of their one mistake
The best people to interview are always the taxi drivers, waiters/waitresses, the village vegetable vendors etc. The have the best accurate information. Always
Or hairdresser! My hairdresser knows Everything that happens around and she is the person who contacts so many people and has so many different points of view and opinions.
The effort, and most incredibly the risk these journalists took to uncover the truth puts most American journalism to shame. Very, very brave.
American media decided at some point that facts where less important than supporting liberals. Something had to give ... it was Truth.
Chinese COMMUNIST "Journalists" - Yeah, right! I bet you believe in Unicorns too?
@@Alwayswantedtochangethis IMHO, The "Network News" Channels have always been after one thing in the Post-Modern world... RATINGS!! That's what pays the bills and salaries' of these "News" Channels and their "Talent"!! It's sad that it's what people want to see, let alone speaking the Truth. Kinda like passing a Car Accident. You know you shouldn't look, but find it almost impossible to not look and causing another accident! Lastly, As for the Bravery of the Chinese Journalist's. In the US (& other "Free" Countries), if you report on something the Government is doing wrong or may be illegal, the journalist gets a written or verbal complaint. If you do the same in China, You just disappear to never be heard from again!! Unless OFC, you go through one of their "Re-Education" Camps and are deemed Re-Educated. Welcome to the Modern Age!!!

Ikr. SARS kills like 10% of the infected. At this point they had no idea what the fatality rate was for covid, and this guy just tries to go straight for the place where all the cases are. Balls of steel
Ya nothing like getting in line with a bunch of infected people
Truth is stranger and more horrific than fiction. Salute to all front line workers, we owe you our lives.
Yes we do owe our lives to all the nurses
Especially to the initial journalists and doctors basically whistle blowers who have disappeared or been confirmed dead after being picked up by the CCP.

Thank God he is alive!
I hope the journalists are not in China right now
What will they going to become? These two journalists were secretly told the China government that they were glad to stay back in China and not the other Monronic Countries in the west.

@@carnevil5740 I guess I don't understand your comment. I thought most of the journalists the Chinese government rounded up were executed.
You mean the government "trafficked" the journalists?
I admire these journalists for risking their lives. Cameras will not lie. Cannot hide secrets forever.
But you can't control what the owner of the camera shoots, or what is played to you right?
I reckon I could collect more footage than him if I kept barging into restricted areas or government lockdowns XD
And what's even weirder is that it's already 2021. China isn't even that anymore. Why would this news channel choose to release records from early 2020 at a time like this?
That is something the c. party will never learn~
This only shows the reaction . Think about the end result here in a city of 11 million , compared to Tokyo or New York or London.
Who ends up with the most deaths ? Who has their economy back to almost normal ?
Right
A year later and we're still living in this nightmare. Experts say, this could go on into the foreseeable future. How infuriating.
It was bound to happen at some point. We just got unlucky that it started in communist China.
Experts say a lot of things, usually the opposite to what some other expert has already said.
Don't worry! Didn't you watch the whole video? It said China's quick efforts reduced the spread from a worldwide pandemic to a... Hmm
Yeah... once we all vaccinated and or achieve heard immunity they would have the revised version ready for release... this time around they’ve got tons of “lessons learned”
2 years later, it’s worse than it’s ever been
This is what real journalism looks like.
You mean spending all your time and energy trying to defeat a rude president might be a bad idea?
Mainstream Media in America need to re-learn what true journalism. Not yellow journalism.
Usually They are very biased.
china reported all this themselves in Chinese though what wuth them being black you know .... i archived it the lot because it has got all early reporting which is time stamped and alongside all the other daily news stuff some on bit chain its solid proof that did not hide anything , some cops were found to be and to have carried out OTT actions, but these were not ordered or repeated else where which supports gov claim in a clear timeline of events
Lol yea, real biased journalism
Never have I thought Contagion would become too real in my lifetime.
What? You're like, six feet away!!!
It is like living in a bad movie.
Except COVID-19 is nowhere as serious as Contagion. The average age of death is higher than the average lifespan.

That driver in the beginning was quite accurate overall given that it was just the beginning.
You need courage to make such a report.Thanks Al Jazeera.
I always watch Al Jazeera
Why? What's the big deal? There can't be many countries that would have dealt with a covid outbreak as well as shown in this report. And as for journalistic freedom...they seem to miss the point that publishing stories on an outbreak could spread immediate panic with many people fleeing the area untested and spreading the virus more quickly.
@@tubthump It is media's job to report what's happening. It is government's job to reassure people. If you silence the media, that means your media is a propaganda media.

@@seaghan6412 Wuhan has a population of more than a crore and they have recorded that there has been around 50000 cases only. Being the place where it originated, the value seems so low.

That itself maybe under reported.

@@traveller4583 They literally locked the city, if this thing happened in any other country theyd just say its a flu and let other people discover the virus and blame it on them, well thats what actually happened.
I followed the virus from the first days of reporting. Hearing the screams and cries from citizens locked inside of their apartment blocks, seeing the visuals of officers(?) using oxy acetylene torches to seal possible infected cases inside their units.
I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I work full time as a nighttime floor cleaner and general maintenance contractor. I started wearing a mask before a lot of people in my city even *knew* the virus was an international problem. I never took a day off due to sars cov 2, and I hope and pray that there are no exposures where I work.
I have seen people that refuse to wear a mask, people coughing into the open, and just straight up ignorance about something so simple as washing their hands. Unfortunately I can't afford to take time off of work, being an "essential worker". Some people get mad and frustrated about the fact that they have to wear a mask, and I don't understand why they think its all a hoax.
I hope everyone is safe, and keeping their mental health in good shape.
Stay healthy and be kind to those around you.

As of yesterday April, 16 2021, there have been 3,001,125 deaths across the world. The highest number in the USA 578,993 deaths. China only 4,636 deaths. Seems impossible since the virus originated in China. During the first 6 months of this virus in China, over 2 million people did not renew cell phone contracts and have not done so to this day which leads us to believe that there were at least 2 million deaths. China has always hidden the true number of deaths.
Sadly many of the people in this in the hospitals and such perished. RIP

Little did we knew, that was the beginning of something tragic like this.. Let’s hope the world sees light again, especially India RN ! :)
Since August 2020 I work at school just few cases. We wear masks desinfect hands and distanciation when possible. There is reminder everywhere
AJ shoulda given these two journalists a huge raise and bonus for risking their lives especially this "Yang" guy, too bad he quit....Balls of Steel!
How to tell if a virus originates from China
1. The name of the virus does not contain a geographical term, but its subsequent strains contain non-Chinese geographical terms.
2. The name of the disease sounds like an electronic product
You got me at electronic product XD. Good job triggering a butthurt wumao.
@@EquestrianAmbassador I sure did! Triggering them is my main entertainment now
@@rocprevail 我等好久了，拜託快點打來
@@rocprevail Fortunately, my experiences are quite the antithesis of what you claim them to be.
@@rocprcr They've been telling you guys to wait for over seven decades. At this point, they're probably still trying to grow a pair of balls after they castrated themselves.
China owes the world about 100 Trillion Euros. This pandemic was gross incompetence and total cover up.
This is the perfect plot for a horror movie!
Except it's reality.
Life is stranger than fiction
many chinese shops all over world, allot go home for new year... big family x mas illness..l
Evil CCP shut down all domestic flights and kept international flights going, so the rest of the world can also catch the disease
We're in the horror movie now. ✌️😷💯😱🌎🌊👊 Take care of each other.
Or did Pompeo have Dr. Liber a nono microbiologist professor at wuhan release it because it was announced by the FBI that Dr liber lied. But story didn't match the charge. All Journalist have their phone hacked by the way.. ISREALIAN/ Sadia Arabia cyber security target all activisist, Journalist political individuals around the world.. To bad Propagandaist are working hard. To confuse us all so we never find out..NIH website had years of studies using it for a biweapon and they planned for this pointing fingers..patents have been placed on it before it even happen at DAVOS was talk about it. They did it on purpose.
Are we going to hold CCP accountable
Evil CCP shut down all domestic flights and kept international flights going, so the rest of the world can also catch the disease
@@traveller4583 . international flights only contain foreigners leaving China on those flights. It's up to other counties to ban Chinese flights.
China locked themself down on January 21 for more than 6 months. Action speaks louder than words. The virus came from a bat, gods creature.
@@douglei4413 came from a bat that somehow ended up in Wuhan market? Give me a break
@@rasul407 There is a thing about virus called "contamination". If you believe in reasoning rather than emotion, you can imagine that a virus is likely to be discovered first in a gathering place like a market. And you can imagine what would happen if the outbreak first happened in America, where the virus is called a "hoax" and a "big flu" by the regime...
More power to Mr. Yang. The world needs more journalists like you.
@Hello Jeff how are you doing?
@@lydiaanderson582 very well, thanks!
This one starts from January 18, 2020 and nice work done . But I am more interested on November-December 2019 stories of Corona and Wuhan. Please dig deep.
That’s long buried and gone unfortunately
Fort Detrick biological lab emergently shut down mid 2019 .
Exactly ... 2019 November/ December .. itself.. one Indian girl who was studying in China was Brought here to India .. having reported the Corona virus .
May Allah have Mercy on everyone
Allah doesn't care! Stop praying to Allah. He is pretty useless.!

Well... Allah could be called a few things...and none of them are good lol

Amazing aljazeera does a better job in journalism than the American media.
such a courageous man.. brave..
Ok you guys make a great production but this one was absolutely masterful.
Wow 2nd taxi driver just described it exceptionally. Chills down my spine. Stay safe 🙏
Salute to the brave journalists in China
What is clear is that on a high level they knew something is very wrong and they keep on hiding information.
And they knew before January 2020. That's why it is called COVID-19 (From September-October) the government new already.
I'm very glad this video was shown on my news feed. I think it was a very interesting insight into the journalists who risked their own security to delve into the truth. Thanks for this amazing video and hope you all stay safe.
Great work by Al Jazeera and heroic journalists
What a great documentary! Thank you so much for sharing these💙
This is more important than most people realize. What do all wild animals have in common. A contaminated water supply they drink from. This level of investigation could prevent the next outbreak. Journalists like this deserve more credit.
Thank you to the Journalist hope you didn’t get infected with the VIRUS?!?!?!
Evil CCP shut down all domestic flights and kept international flights going, so the rest of the world can also catch the disease
@@traveller4583 Virus is genetically modified to infect humans,given gain of function properties to make it more contagious as well.
well done to those 2 reporters. they have done the world a service shedding a light
You guys are amazing journalists don’t let anyone or anything stop u!!!!😊❤
Thanks for being real and courageous journalists. CCP dislikes this.
So do WHO
To Al Jazeera,
Please do your best of making sure that both of them are safe due to this risk they've taken.
Thank you for being extremely relevant.
They are actors, you dumb a
@@99jkhoo hahaha
@@99jkhoo 😂🤣..puppet came
more people need to watch this out of respect for the heroic work done by these brave journalists
People should be free to watch what they want
Omg! What A Documentary Of Reality Of Covid19 And Chinese Leaders.
Legit, I Got A Real Goose Bumps Continuesly Through Out The Video.
Try Wuhan Coronavirus or Wuhan virus instead of COVID-19, it fits right on
google "4417955901048977" and you will see lots of information(in Chinese) about a coronavirus drill at Wuhan airport on 18th Sep. 2019
2019-09-18, In the drill, Wuhan Airport simulated the entire process of handling a case of new type of Coronavirus infection.
the weibo page got deleted, but you still can see it at archive org
yet the world support China and suppress Taiwan , there shall be judgements upon our sin and we will all pay for our injustice!
I would say the response by Chines was commendable; we need to give them befit of doubt as they were not aware of the severity of the virus. But still within 3 days everyone was wearing masks, lock down was on and there were scanners in place at airports. On the other hand our pig headed western leaders took months to decide what to do and they down played the intensity of virus with their own bizarre theories. Even up till recently, in US there was no restriction on wearing masks, and Trump and his supporters were example of that. The world should learn from China, instead of criticizing. Citizens of UK, USA, Brazil should blame their governments for colossal casualties……
I've lost some friends, family, and friends' family. Some too are under treatment in the hospital. This virus is truly dangerous, you would never know how and when you could get infected. Please do not underestimate it. Stay safe and healthy. May all those who are ill can get cured and healed asap.
YOU ARE B.S FULL STOP.
Ok, so I have to point out a couple contradictions just within the first 9 mins. The guy says he was getting weird looks for wearing a mask. Anyone who has been near heavily populated Asian cities, since SARS, knows it is common place to see people wearing masks. It's like a tradition in some places now. To further prove the contradictions in his story, go to the 9:00 and watch him talk to people outside the closed market. He says "they haven't heard anything about the virus..." but 2 out 3 of the people on camera are wearing masks.
While I agree about the questionable origins of the virus, lab leak theory, cover up, etc, I also am a person that relies on credibility. Unnecessary dramatics makes me feel like I'm watching cnn. Just not trustworthy.
By far the best source of investigative news...
Most news from al jazeera is fake news
Having lived in China for 10 years myself I still have a lot of friends & contacts there. I remember reading a very passing rumour late November 2019 about a 'weird flu' a couple of people got but didn't think any more of it. Then talk increased in December with that 1st covid doctor Li Wenliang online but I just thought it was 'the fringe' speaking, thinking it might just be a localised virus. By 1st week in January I didn't care what others were saying, I already started my preps, buying longlife food and the last masks I could (the Asians in the community had already got them, but other Australians didn't seem to know anything about it). Glad I prepped when SHTF in March- but I was still going to work everyday **sweating** anxiously about having to get public transport & waiting for the government to finally shut us down. By March 26 I was working from home- and as of today 10 February 2021 I still haven't been back into the office.
I got unfriended by a few Aussie friends who treated the pandemic as a hoax during the first lockdown. Yes, I can confirm that most Aussies had no idea what was happening in Europe, Asia, and the US in April 2020 based on the posts and comments from them on Facebook feed. All they could do was repeat the same script that had been shared worldwide: there is a global conspiracy by the cabal to takeover the world by creating massive fear in order to turn us into slaves with a lockdown. The virus is a hoax in order to take away our freedom. If you don't see that, then you're a sheeple!
Needless to say, they're not worth my time nor my loyalty.
you Done A Good Job
The fact that the securities refused to identify themselves makes you wonder and feel suspicious. When you don’t provide identities, you’re hiding something or not 100% trustworthy.
I have a feeling they are amateur auxiliary / civilian guards hired by the china government specifically to be gatekeepers at Ground Zero (Huanan wet market) and to intimidate journalists.
Great job Al Jazeera for getting the footage!
The power of mask I must say, concerning what's happened to other countries and my country , worse case is in India now , looking for your reports I salute your courage.
Yes...Chinese virus ... brought by Farmer's Protest to protest against BJP Government....& now cases are increasingly more...Thanks to khalisthani .....Thanks for your comments 🙂 ☺.

Each generation has seen their own disaster level events. For my great grandparents it was the great depression. For my grandparents it was, well, many events. For my parents it was 9/11. For me and my siblings it was this virus. Wow
Initial days everyone was in the dark and the virus unknown to the world. How it spread is also unknown. This action had prevented mass panic and help the ability to implement lockdown.
This is not really true. There were plenty of officials who were aware of it in early November and did nothing about it. One location had lots more information than any other country.
@@ddurb8656 True they know about an unknown virus that's all. But not enough to form a strategy to control it. There are plenty of news after hind sight as reported in the main media but at the time of the virus appearance none was reported WHO. Even when it is confirm there r leaders who said and insisted its a flu.
I would say the response by Chines was commendable; we need to give them befit of doubt as they were not aware of the severity of the virus.

@@ddurb8656 . nobody die from covid19 in November 2019. Hence, they didn't react like they should.
