简评：
武汉是中共病毒的始发点也是中共病毒的重灾区。没想到祸不单行，在爆发疫情之后又陷入洪水的肆虐之中。文章展示了武汉街道被水淹没的画面，让人不禁为武汉人捏了一把汗。但本文取材于中共国的社交媒体上的视频和官媒，因此信息很片面。事实上的洪灾要比图片中显示的更让人绝望。有流出的视频显示江西，安徽等地有很多受灾民众，一夜之间一切付之东流。这对中共国没有保险，没有社会保障的平民百姓来说简直犹如灭顶之灾。
此外，文章指出武汉周边的地区是医药和个人防护用品生产多的聚集地。世界各地的疫情还在愈演愈烈，在药品和医用物资严重依赖中共国生产链的情况下，这很让人担忧。同时，根据摩根斯坦利的分析，如此严重的洪水将影响中共国三季度的GDP数据，尤其是对比二季度的“超预期GDP”。
必须指出的是简单地从天灾和经济的角度看待洪水的肆虐是不够的。这次洪水如此地严重是否能完全归咎于夏季洪水，这个还有待专家定夺。更大的问题是，洪灾当前，中共政府不仅无心抗洪，解救民众，而且又开始封锁消息，不允许谈论敏感话题。中共这种对其人民的生命和财产的一贯不尊重和其依靠掩盖和欺骗处理问题的一贯作风最终会导致怎么样的人道灾难，这是我们必须关注的问题。
