Mystery Disease Outbreak in China Overwhelms Hospitals in Chilling Echo of Covid Dark Days

China is reportedly being ravaged by a mysterious viral outbreak that is overwhelming some hospitals.

Videos on social media appear to show hospital units overrun with patients in face masks, and parents holding sick children in long lines in pediatric units.

There have also been unverified reports that crematoriums and funeral homes are being overwhelmed.

The alarming scenes and lack of official commentary have led some to draw similarities to the early days of the Covid outbreak in China.

Local news reports have blamed a little-known virus called human metapneumovirus (HMPV) — which normally causes a mild cold-like illness — for the latest outbreak, though officials have yet to confirm this.

The situation is similar to winter 2022/23 when China was hit with a wave of mycoplasma pneumonia cases, a condition dubbed 'white lung', which is also normally mild.

That outbreak was blamed on children having low natural immunity due to the effects of China's harsh lockdowns and school closure measures aimed at containing Covid.

But official reports from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that regular flu is leading the latest outbreak, with 30 percent of tests coming back positive for influenza and one in seven people hospitalized with a severe respiratory illness testing positive for it.

SNIFF SNIFF??

[johnnygeneric]

Fake news. They are trying to scare us. No independent journalists have even mentioned this.

[yesthatjallen]

Public health experts are warning of a ‘quad-demic’ this winter. Here’s where flu, COVID, RSV, and norovirus are spreading

[Antoninus]

Oh look. More virus fear pron on Daily Mail. That’s the only flash-back going on here.

[antidemoncrat]

Another virus that mutated from Chinese Panda Bears and not one that escaped from a lab using gain of function to develop a virus that kills everyone except Chinese people?

[metmom]

Yeah, we all saw those videos from the fall of 2019 just before Covid hit here.

And this is just in time for Trump to take office. How convenient......

[metmom]

Only four?

They forgot bird flu.

[9YearLurker]

Of course they are.

“Videos on social media appear to show ...”

wake me up when satellite videos from outer space show the smoke plumes from the funeral pyres ...

[maddog55]

I’ll do the same I did with COVID...like it never even happened. No mask, no jabs, no test and enjoyed the days out without the hassle in a state free of idiots.

[Twotone]

Hoax or not, we should do what we should’ve done the first time. Stop all flights coming from or going to China until we know what’s going on.

[ebshumidors]

Reportedly, unverified, suggest - into the trash it goes!

Note to Self:

1. Check to see if Wuhan Bio Lab left their door ajar again.
2. Do not order Sweet & Sour Cave Bat or General Tso’s Pangolin at local Chinese restaurant.

Those horrific videos out of China in early 2020 turned out to be staged fakes. Why would we accept the same sort of thing now as the real deal? Why would we accept anything out of China as real?

Ivermectin, Zinc, D-3, Quercetin, NAC, get busy.

[GOPJ]

I remember one of China’s early videos about Covid - it was fake as a three dollar bill...

That outbreak was blamed on children having low natural immunity due to the effects of China's harsh lockdowns and school closure measures aimed at containing Covid.

Making it an existential threat to lib maskers & vaxxers.

WELCOME MAT!!!

Best case? Same old trick - first time shame on you...
Worst case? The first was to desensitize us and condition us to ignore the real attack.

Place your bets.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.

[null and void]

Come up with something new for crying out loud.

Be very careful what you ask for...

[bgill]

Apparently, they don’t care about losing a few of their own to make sure it works well enough this time.
