A deadly ‘unknown pneumonia’ that has a higher death rate than Covid-19 is understood to have broken out in Kazakhstan, Chinese officials warned.

The Chinese embassy, which quoted local media reports, said Atyrau and Aktobe counties as well as Skymkent city had seen a spike in cases of the illness since mid-June.

Kazakhstan’s Health Ministry said it had recorded more than 32,000 cases of pneumonia and 451 deaths from the illness between June 29 and July 5 alone.

The embassy said the central Asian nation had 1,772 deaths in the first half of the year, including 628 las month – some of whom were Chinese nationals.

It then described the sickness as an “unknown pneumonia” even though officials in Kazakhstan did not say whether there was anything unusual about it.

A spokesman for the embassy said: “The death rate of this disease is much higher than the novel coronavirus.

“The country’s health departments are conducting comparative research into the pneumonia virus, but have yet to identify the virus.”

Diplomats urged Chinese nationals to take the same precautions as with Covid-19.

yep. I’m convinced this will ratcheted up until the public demands mail in voting.. possible fraud aside, from what I have read the democrat folks love to talk stuff on the internet but can’t be bothered to get off the couch to actually vote. The mail in voting is primarily to get their lazy constituents to actually vote.

Everyone must now wear TWO masks, one for each illness.

And that’s an order.

“time to quarantine China for a decade”

If there is a total different virus out in the wild, we need to stop all trade in China and treat them as the enemy they are. The odds of two deadly virus in Asia at the same time is very high unless it was man made.

Maybe it’s God’s will. Honestly, I would rather life ended now by his hand than live as a slave to the left going forward.

I hear you. If not, I'll be on my knees praying with you in the BLM Coliseum...

More fear-mongering from the globalist Corporate Media.

This must be the Cloward-Piven strategy as applied to human psychology: Overwhelm the normies with fear so that Trump is thrown out in November.

Ah, a LOTR meme. :-)

So, in other words, the same old thing that's been going on for the past 10,000 years.

Everybody was Kung Flu fighting,
Your bowels becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
(Little bit frightening)
It’s the book of your death that you’re writing
(Life that you’re writing)

You’re coughing way too rough,
And horking up all day.
You let devastating farts,
And driving folks away.
Now what would it take to break?
I believe that you can bend,
Not only do you have to fight,
But you’re dead if you don’t win!

Everybody was Kung Flu fighting,
Your bowels becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
(Little bit frightening)
It’s the book of your death that you’re writing
(Life that you’re writing)

Does Kazakhstan have a 'wet market' a few miles from a bio-weapon facility?

Time to stop ALL flights to and from China - - China's sloppy ways have finally caught up with them... We don't need their newest catastrophe..

China seems to have a lot of ‘bad luck’ when it comes to infectious diseases, doesn’t it?
