Many, many are hospitalised,

Chinese hospitals have been “overwhelmed with sick children” as an outbreak of pneumonia escalates in cities across the country, including Beijing, according to reports.
ProMed – a large, publicly available surveillance system which monitors human and animal disease outbreaks worldwide – issued a notification late on Tuesday detailing a reported epidemic of “undiagnosed pneumonia” in children.
It was a ProMed alert in late December 2019 that brought a mystery virus later named Sars-Cov-2 to the attention of many doctors and scientists, including senior officials at the World Health Organization.
The latest post, based on a report from the Taiwanese outlet FTV News, said that hospitals in the capital Beijing and Liaoning – almost 500 miles northeast – were struggling amid an influx of children sick with pneumonia.
“Many, many are hospitalised,” Mr Wei, a Beijing citizen, told FTV News. “They don’t cough and have no symptoms. They just have a high temperature (fever) and many develop pulmonary nodules.”

Right on cue for the 2024 elections.
OGNTSA!
Not the chirrins.
Just in time for the election.
Why would it effect children and not adults?
They are getting the band back together!
Dem boys in Wuhan mixing up another batch of Special Brew?
Adults may have been exposed to similar viruses and maintain some immunity?
I’ve heard of flu outbreaks, never hard of pneumonia outbreaks... does strongly suggest this is viral...
Yes... but the children’s immune system is usually acquired from the mother... why breastfeeding is important... I wonder what percent of Chinese women aren’t breastfeeding?
Somebody I playing in the labs again…
I smell upcoming election.
I notice the main reporting of this is from Taiwan, the reporter even makes a point of saying the source is five hundred miles away from the story.
Here we go, again.
Why would it effect children and not adults?
~~~
It’s actually more common for infections to affect children worse than adults, the latter of which may have more immunity to it or been exposed to the pathogen previously.
If it’s starting in China though, my first question is, how well does this time up with affecting the 2024 elections.
Remember, covid started rolling with reports in China in December of 2019 and January of 2020
We don’t want any in-person voting going on. That would be a public health risk! /s
Deja Vu all over again!....................
Yes. This is just now hitting conservative accounts on Twitter with people calling to shutdown air travel from China... very much deja vu.
Sounds like something some evil POS may have brewed up in a lab.
Yeah.. pneumonia without a cough is highly suspect.
FYI...

Much to raise the eyebrows, especially with regard to their non-profit status.
I wouldn’t take their word for jack spit.
