Alert: Mysterious Pneumonia Outbreak Hits Chinese Schools !!

China again has been experiencing an increase in cases of influenza-like illnesses. It is being compared with the previous three years when strict measures were in force as part of its zero-COVID strategy. China’s National Health Commission told a press conference earlier this month about this. They said that there had been an increase in the incidence of respiratory diseases. These are related to COVID-19. Pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumonia, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are life-risking.

Another Pandemic is spreading through?

China is still recovering from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they face a new threat, a mysterious pneumonia outbreak sweeping through schools. It is being compared with the previous three years when strict measures were in force as part of its zero-COVID strategy. China’s National Health Commission told a press conference earlier this month that there had been an increase in the incidence of respiratory diseases. These are related to COVID-19. Pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumonia, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are life-risking.

Mystery Pneumonia Spreading through Chinese Schools!

Hospitals in Beijing and Liaoning are struggling to cope with a huge amount of sick children. They are straining their resources to the breaking point. Local media reports suggest that school closures are imminent due to the outbreak. The affected children are present with unusual symptoms, including lung inflammation and high fever. However, it is noticeable that they lack the typical cough and other signs associated with flu, RSV, and other respiratory illnesses.

Is the Novel virus causing all these? There was a warning beforehand?

A ProMed alert was issued in late December 2019 and served as a critical early warning about a novel virus, identified as SARS-CoV-2. They tried to alert a wide range of medical professionals and scientists, including high-ranking officials at the World Health Organization.

In an editor’s note, ProMed said: “This report suggests a widespread outbreak of an undiagnosed respiratory illness. It is not at all clear when this outbreak started, as it would be unusual for so many children to be affected so quickly. The report does not say that any adults were affected, suggesting some exposure at the schools.”
