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.

...and ya’ll ridiculed me when I said there’s 3 bioweapons heading our way before November. And if you’ve had Covid-19 and get this one recovery isn’t likely. Covid did too much damage to your lungs even if you didn’t end up hospitalized.

Like I said in my other post it means some here have lived life already And are so selfish that they want the world to end for one reason or another and don’t care. The children and grandchildren and nephews and grandnephews won’t get to live their lives. Again they lived their life. Selfish Pr.cks

Hopefully kazakh is more open than China and we have our people over there to identify this virus. And that is is not the precursor of a “second wave” ( deadlier) as was the pattern on the 1918 flu pandemic. Originating out of the Uighur autonomous region but being attributed to kazakhstan origin

Why as a matter of fact WE have a lab in Kazakhstan.

The U.S. also hopes the facility will get scientists in that region of the world off the streets, so to speak. Giving gainful employment to talented researchers in the region may make them less likely to sell their services to groups who want to create biological weapons, a source form the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency told NatGeo.

Don't care.

Just leave me and mine alone.

Hide under your bed wrapped in saran wrap if you like.

But leave us alone.

Disinformation campaign. Blaming it on someone or someplace else when they’ve released round two of the attack.

That’s one perspective. Mine is:

Our older generation has been living in an America gone left and so gone bad. Political correctness, Godlessness, rabid feminists, faggotry, socialist teachers, Chinese junk, fear-mongering, now BLM devilry. They’ve been demonized and silenced for speaking truth about these things, for decades. They’re portrayed as stupid and are out-voted by cheaters.

They’ve been responsible, worked hard, raised families and behaved themselves. They don’t want the world to end, not at all, no. But, they’re very saddened and dismayed by what they see now, and are not much hopeful about a return to reason, truth and virtue (which they lived in previously and really miss now).

“OK Boomer” = “Shut up and go away, you old person!”...right?

Sorry dude, but glad I’m living rent free in your head.
I’ve addressed you before and in a courteous way, but you still don’t know how to turn off your anxiety with my articles.

I’ve got a simple 3 step solution to your clear problem - AND YOU KNOW IT’S YOUR PROBLEM.

1. Turn off your computer
2. Don’t read my posts
3. Don’t read my threads

If that doesn’t make you feel better about yourself and your circumstances, then see a shrink.

A shame you don’t want to accept the current state of the world. The Bible talks about the mass die offs folks will have from heart attacks, suicides, and strokes in reaction to what will come down the pipe.

If you want to laugh at that, go ahead.
Dealing with deniers is easy for me. I deal with them daily. But I really get under your skin it seems...

Post of the day.

It angers me when someone cheers at the thought of the world ending. It’s selfish beyond belief.

And I have irrational relatives (namely my mother) who is bad to say “We won’t be here next year”. She’s been saying that for the last twenty years, lol.

She also gets on my nerves by stating that the power grid will go off any day. It’s no wonder that I’m on anxiety pills. Doom and gloom.

IMO, it’s a sin to obsess about the end of the world. You are supposed to live your life. It’s selfish and wrong to want to deny anyone else the opportunity to achieve their goals.

It also angers me how Christians absolutely, positively REFUSE to fight the Anti-White, Communist subhumans who are destroying this country. They just shrug and say “It’s God’s will.” That mindset sounds positively Islamic because muslims have a saying “It’s Allah’s will”.

They must have forgotten that God helps those who help themselves.

As the Def Leppard song says “We need action, not words”.

Rant off:)

We grew up with our parents ready to incinerate the world.

Viruses that kill <1% is not really destroying the world.
