| [MAIL] The fearsome knock on the door came after nightfall. Outside were two men in hazmat suits who told businessman Fang Bin they had come to take him into medical quarantine. But the textile trader, a gangly man in his early 40s, wasn’t ill and the men outside his Wuhan apartment weren’t doctors. They were police officers confronting a menace the Chinese Communist Party had been grappling with as ferociously as the coronavirus itself — ordinary people who bravely expose the truth about the outbreak and refuse to keep quiet. Mr Fang’s ’crime’ was to post a video he had filmed of people dying of the virus and the body bags piled up outside a hospital clearly overwhelmed by casualties at a time when China insisted that the virus was under control. It was seen 200,000 times before censors took it down. When he demanded a search warrant from the officers on the doorstep of his high-rise apartment, they forced their way in and took him away for questioning, ordering him to stop spreading ’rumours’ about the virus before confiscating his computer. He was later released in the early hours of the morning. |

| #2 They're a part of all of us now. In the sense that Mr. Fang's liver is in one guy and his kidneys are in two other guys. Etc. |
