Videos of Chinese actors that flooded social media 5 years ago. In these videos, people were allegedly falling in the streets because of a new disease

Submission statement:

The same thing happened in all of them – people just fell down in the middle of the street and lay down, then doctors came running, wrapped from head to toe, and took the fallen person to the intensive care car. These videos can still be found on the Internet, although there are fewer and fewer of them left. The falls were explained by the fact that this is how the ‘new deadly virus’ works.

These videos stopped appearing as soon as unprecedented political and economic restrictions were adopted. Although, if the media is to be believed, the covid was just gaining momentum and raging in many countries – not once else has such a video appeared, nowhere else have people fallen in the middle of the street.

Even if the videos were real, people commonly faint and have lower blood pressure when they have an illness/fever due to increased heartrate and dehydration. I don’t know why everyone assumed they were dropping dead.
