Highly Contagious Virus With no Treatment Is Taking the West Coast by Storm [No Vaccine]
New York Post ^ | March 7, 2026 | May 7, 2026

Wastewater SCAN data show that human metapneumovirus, or HMPV, is rampant in Northern California — specifically San Francisco, Marin, Vallejo, Napa, Novato, Santa Rosa, Sacramento and Davis, per reports.

The virus peaked sharply in January and remains elevated in early March, although the seasonal winter wave is now tapering.

“It is a single-stranded RNA virus, like flu and COVID,” Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, told Fox News Digital. “The virus is increasing not only in the west, but also around the country.” The wastewater data also show that HMPV is rising sharply in the Midwest and Northeast.

I just got over 9 days of some kind of flu. High fever, joint pain, (those only lasted a couple of days) dry cough, extreme weakness, stuffy nose, and a faint pink non-raised rash all over me. The symptoms came on suddenly. I feel fully human today, but I still have the rash. I was only miserable for those first couple of days. But the extreme weakness kicked my butt. I was literally in bed for 8 days. Still, I’d rather have had this than get a flu vaccine. I’m 74, btw. Doc said was likely one of three flu viruses or covid. Oh, and in the middle of it, I made little or no urine for a day or to. That concerned me, but my friend Donna nd my church prayed for me, and I was soon. back to making plenty of urine. Just thought the symptom list might be helpful for y’all to know.

During the Days of Covid, I never heard about homeless people dying of it. Nothing about homeless encampments wiped out by it. Nor hospitals and vaccination stations overrun by them to treat it. I concluded that if they can survive with that in the wild, they must be a stoic and hardy bunch where that is concerned.

During the height of the Plandemic, regular flu sufferers, and data on the same, were nonexistent (well, unreported).

Anyone who “felt” sick must have been infected with Covid.

Is this latest flu strain the one they ignored during the Plandemic?

Feed a cold, starve a fever, and to hell with the “authorities” and “experts.”

Lockdown!
Schools and churches closed!
Vaccine. Warp Speed!

...and the bonus? Universal mailed ballots and 100 million votes for the Democrat nominee in 2028.

The bio agents are put in the drinking water, show up in the waste stream, and voila! Pandemic.

You might have been hovering close to sepsis. Little or no urine is a symptom.
I think prayer helped in your recovery. I’m a firm believer in its power.

My wife caught this and spent February in hospital...13 days total, 5 days in ICU and 1 day on ventilator. Next 2 weeks in an acute rehab facility. Recovering now at home with biweekly skilled nursing and physical therapy. Not a fun experience.

The common cold is also a virus with no treatment and no vaccine

I tried ivermectin on mine, and it failed to touch it.

I don’t think Ivermectin is very effective against viruses. Imo it mostly just suppresses bacteria and other infections to give the immune system quiet time to spin up against viruses.

Better lock us down and institute massive mail-in voting again. Timing is about right. Remember that “COVID” shutdowns began on March 14th, 2020.

Homeless people get a lot of sunshine, so they produce a lot of vitamin D. That may be what helped them get through Covid.

Load up on Vitamin C.

I’n 89, lived here 17 years and had a cold once about ten years ago. No flu shots.

Small people need 500 mg C daily, large people up to 2500 mg. All drugstores and supermarkets have them in my neighborhood, probably yours too.
