Hello teachers! I want to know if the sentence below is correct.

This many people moving in very little space is making me dizzy.

Shouldn't it be these and are since 'people' is plural?

@Rox111,
No in this case people is treated as singular.

English vernacular can be very peculiar, with lots of regional variations.
