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.

I am wondering if China gave a lower number of COVID deaths, so they put out some other diseases to correct their cooked boonot death counts. Plus there was the case of Bubonic plague.

This is fake news from the Chinese Embassy, notice all of it is “reported” by the Chinese Embassy, no actual statement from the government of Kazakhstan.

yeah I noticed a lot of people that are older now and maybe in the last decades or years don’t really seem to care as much if life ends. But I do because I have grand nephew now and nephews and nieces that deserve the same chance at life that we had. honestly being an end of days person is the most incredibly selfish thing I’ve ever seen. It’s just a way of saying I’ve had my good time so let the world end.

Got bad news for you. It’s not. God knows how many untold hundreds of millions have waited for the end times while they were alive. Well They met it but they met it alone

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

Every time I see Fouci I laugh inside. It’s like watching Pat Paulsen running for president except when Fouci speaks, he is actually serious. :)

That’s too bad. I was about to head over to Aktobe County Stadium to watch the Aktobe Aardvarks host the Skymkent Salamanders, but it might be smarter to catch this one on the telly.

“The mail in voting is primarily to get their lazy constituents to actually vote.”

Not totally...it disguises voters so anyone can vote as there is no ID, it utilizes ballots that have been wrongly sent out to the dead, felons, illegals so anyone can vote. and I’ll bet you there will be liberal cars picking up votes to distribute them to voting pickup points to make sure they are filled out correctly for their needs, signed, and into the box. And, of course, if they are not filled out the way the liberal wants, they can just as easily be destroyed or replaced with an absentee ballot. Getting the mail in was just the start. (And the end of accountability)

I have never seen someone who wants the end of days to come about more than you and I have a few fanatics in my family too.

if that’s what you want it is what it is but at least say it and not pretend that you’ll print good news one day because there’s always good news, lots of it.

Go play golf or something :-)

one difference between you and most others that want it is I think that you just think it would be a glorious thing and it’s not because you don’t care that the young won’t get to live their lives. I think you’re a good guy that just for some reason wants it to come. Thinks it will be beautiful.

Most of them are just miserable people who lived their lies add tdon’t care if it ends for everyone else.

But I wouldn’t count on those times coming too soon. Jesus said that he will come like a thief in the night and you will not know the hour nor the day.

I laugh at people who try to guess it

Have a good one bro :-)

Is this the even more improved ‘Holy Hand Grenade’ Covid-20 upgrade from covid-19? I didn’t agree to an upgrade. Not even Windows 10 furpete’ssake!

I feel like I’m living in a concatenation of the movie Holy Grail, Idiocracy, the Python Cardinal skit and Omega Man.

I heard a report just now on the radio, Kazakhstan denied there is an outbreak. Found a source. I believe Kazakhastan before the W.H.O. or China. What does China have to gain from this?

Travel to and from any of the countries affected by this "virus" must be blocked ASAP. Trump needs to get out in front of this.

“...to have broken out in Kazakhstan, Chinese officials warned.
The Chinese embassy...”

Why them and not the locals, unless the Chicoms know more than they’re saying.
