The data showed an increase in hospital admissions of children due to diseases including bacterial infection, RSV, influenza and common cold viruses since October.
Leading scientists said the situation warranted close monitoring, but were not convinced the spike signalled the start of a new global outbreak.

The standard wording of the alert echoed the first-ever notice about what would become COVID-19, sent on December 30, 2019: “Undiagnosed pneumonia — China (Hubei).”

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chinese officials say they did not detect any “unusual or novel diseases” in the country following a spike in respiratory illnesses and clusters of pneumonia in children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The data showed an increase in hospital admissions of children due to diseases including bacterial infection, RSV, influenza and common cold viruses since October.
Leading scientists said the situation warranted close monitoring, but were not convinced the spike signalled the start of a new global outbreak.
Scientists said the similarity of the two alerts had stirred as-yet-unfounded worries the surge may be caused by another emerging pathogen that could spark a pandemic.
They said based on the information so far, it was more likely to be a rise in other common respiratory infections like flu, as was seen in many parts of the world after COVID lockdowns were lifted.
The rise in respiratory illnesses comes as China braces for its first full winter season since it lifted strict COVID-19 restrictions in December.

I call dibs on the toilet paper this time
I still got my stash from covid…it will be there for the end of times…
My brother in Christ, we’ve all switched to bidets anyway.
My comrade in Satan, I switched to bidet in the first few months of pandemic and never looked back.
Why would you? You don’t have to wipe anymore.
If you’re not wiping at all, even once at the end, that’s disgusting. A bidet isn’t sufficient by itself
Um, wrong. Also, I usually go through two cycles. It’s a multi-angle, moving sprayer that can be repositioned as it washes. After three years with it, the only times I’ve needed paper were when I was ill.
So you don’t dry yourself after using a bidet?
2023 - still doesn’t know how to use the 3 seashells. LOL
Maybe they have the poopy towel
Covid has forever tainted China in the eyes of the world in this aspect- few will ever believe them when they say that there’s no novel disease.
Bruh, China warned us months ahead of COVID breaking out in Europe/NA. But we didn’t listen and preferred shrinking down our public health services further instead
Covid. And Swine Flu. And Bird Flu.
that’s just the last 20 years.
Swine flu had its first outbreak in America.
It was proven that transmission of swine flu to humans was possible in a study in Iowa in 2004. The same year that transmission to humans actually happened in the wild in China.
There is no novel disease.
Its Covid. Covid is now endemic and newer mutations are targeting youth.
That’s interesting I read that it was Mycoplasma pneumoniae, not a new pathogen but a report says it’s resistant to a new antibiotic.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-hospitals-children-pneumonia-respiratory-illness-who-data-rcna126480The concealment of covid data that began about a year ago to hide the truth.
Yes of course China covered up COVID, however I believe that this actually probably is M. Pneumoniae as it’s famous for spreading in schools amongst children as well as already resistant to many antibiotics because it has no cell wall.
My one concern is that this could secretly be a human to human form of avian influenza, but there is absolutely no hiding a disease with a mortality rate on par with Ebola (30-50% or 18-30%- as much as Spanish Flu or the black death) for very long at all. COVID has around a 1% mortality rate and there were people posting videos of people dying in the streets on Chinese social media, if it’s avian flue than there will be mass graves on an unheard of scale.So you agree.
Masks and social distancing saves lives from not only covid, but from a series of other similar pathogens.
Yes masking is essential.
There is no novel illness in Ba Sing Se
So we’re doing this again, are we
China why do you have to be like this
Remind yourself that there are people even in normal countries defending ch*nas communism, policies and culture. That shithole has to be plugged off from the rest of the world by any means necessary, no one in, no one out
I trust China. No one from China would ever lie about a possible health crisis.
If you believe anything China says you’re a goddamn moron
Oh boi here we go again 💀
