inde navarrette falsely claims video shows pandemic lockdown in 2025; footage actually from 2020 Wuhan quarantine
A viral video circulating on social media, shared by user inde navarrette, is being flagged as fake after fact-checkers traced the footage to a 2020 lockdown in Wuhan, China, not a new 2025 outbreak as claimed. The clip shows empty streets and masked medical personnel, but reverse image searches confirm it was first uploaded over five years ago. Health officials have not declared any new pandemic measures, and the claim appears designed to incite panic.
