Mysterious pneumonia ‘more deadly’ than coronavirus sweeps across Asia

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 a big fan of TLA’s.

That’s Three Letter Acronyms. :)

My favorite meme to use is a picture of a serious looking Yoda with phrases like, “Strong, with this one, the irony is”.

I made one of the Dos XX “most interesting man” during the Target restroom nonsense that said, “I don’t go to target often. But when I do it’s to use the ladies room.”

I can’t show any of those because I don’t know of a free internet photo storage site from which I can post, and I can’t post pictures from my computer here.

It’s a fake report meant for consumption for the Chinese population.

“And so it begins”

What is that supposed to mean?

Things begin to happen every second of the day.

You could at least be specific.

Yes, and time to close our borders indefinitely and say no to all incoming/outgoing Asian flights.

Will we all have to wear Hazmat suits everywhere..even though we will not be able to hardly go anywhere...as well as, be connected to home ventilators 24/7? And don’t forget to eat your government approved food supplement that will be delivered to you weekly.

Only a few particles in the pill. Might be better if you snorted it?

What does China have to gain from this?

How about more Pandemic Panic in the U.S.? That seems to be the primary goal of such "stories", IMO.

Another 'contagious illness' perhaps? /s

Only until the election is over...

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. Shield the vulnerable. Free everyone else!

By now there should be no doubt the first one (cov19) was manmade. Or man modified rather. The question is if it was intentionally released.
