Wife's cousin in Jilin City was approached by a pair of "not cops" in blue raincoats, respirator, rubber boots, goggles and gloves armed with a "Type 97" assault rifle and told to show his ID. He did so, explained that he was allowed to go get some essential supplies, and continued on his way.

He's stopped again by similar guys (not cops, not doctors, possibly Chengguan) and they check his ID and send him on his way. He notices that their apparel is very similar, but different. Off the shelf brand raincoat (still blue) and their masks are a different colour. This time he gets a better look at their Type 97 rifles and sees that they are airsoft (he was in the PLA for a stint and before that was an avid airsofter).

He sees another pair walking down a street a few hundred meters away, and heads towards them to get a look. Same story, but these guys are armed with an even cheaper airsoft version of the Type 97, like a 90% plastic version.

Now he's really curious.

He walks towards a shopping mall that's a little out of his way, and there is a pretty big presence there. At this point it's become clear that they have been pulling extra bodies from whatever agency has some spare manpower, and have given them instructions on what to buy to create a "uniform uniform". Some people are wearing yellow kitchen rubber gloves, while some are wearing latex. He even saw some who were wearing the disposable plastic ones like people wear at Subway, and throwing them away after every interaction. Also the "weaponry" has gotten ridiculous. The PLA soldiers who are in uniform with masks and gloves are using (pinned) Type 97s that are used for training and are unable to fire Automatic, while some of the no-names out and about have obviously raided a local airsoft store because their loadout is hilarious (he was a gun nut, joined the PLA, and left after he realised that they don't actually train soldiers to fight). Some of the weapons he saw. (all airsoft, with crude attempts to paint or cover the orange tips)

H&K MP5s
AK-47s
G-36s
Some obviously fictional shotguns
An MG-42!!!
And tons of AR-15 variants.

Overall he says that the officials in Jilin City seem to be doing a good job at keeping people from bunching up, making sure they are wearing protection, and keeping stores orderly and free of people rushing to try and clean shelves.

of all the comical cyberpunk dystopia scenarios, decreased budget cosplay cops is probably the most likely one I did not see coming

Question for china goons, some people on 4chan pulled up chinese phone records and are speculating that the 14.4m canceled accounts in the past few months represent the actual death toll from covid-19. I know nothing of the chinese cell phone setup. The poster claimed that people simply do not cancel phone accounts like that because it is linked to alipay. Any credibility to this claim?

take for instance, a random name at the top of the list citizen "Rice Roll"
