This may seem redundant, but can you confirm that the video from the Japanese resident of Nanjing is a fairly accurate representation of what it was like in Nanjing before the restrictions were loosened? Also, you didn't say it, but I assume you actually live in Nanjing currently?

I have read countless comments online asking how can it be possible for China's case numbers to be nearly non-existent at this point and the Nanjing video paints the picture completely for me, an average American.

Another comment in this thread talks about symptoms and what it's like actually having the virus.

If a series of videos existed that showed a) what it's like having the disease (I haven't seen any videos showing that but the top comment on this thread as of now is a good first-person explanation of a "mild" case) and b) the lockdown response necessary to keep the numbers down or eliminate them altogether I feel like more people would be able to take this seriously here.

Of course I also watch that Nanjing video and realize that I don't see how it's possible that Americans would ever go for such extreme measures, which makes one think that the UK "let them get sick to get herd immunity" starts to make more sense.
