| #7 China has long been the birthplace of epidemics. They have cooked up in China and then rolled out to the rest of the world for just about forever. Influenza type diseases are avian diseases that jump species into pigs and then cross into humans. It starts with whatever the ducks in Canton China get crossed into the pigs, and then make the easy hop into people. In order to make the transitions, you need large numbers of hosts in close proximity. Hence China. |

| #6 Sounds like it's basically Walking Pneumonia plus a weakened immune system. Good think the Covid vaccine didn't weaken the immune system right? RIGHT??? |

| #5 The WHO’s questions come from Chinese media in some cities, including Xian in the country’s northwest, which posted videos of hospitals crowded with parents and children waiting to be seen. Some social media users have also posted photos of children doing homework while receiving intravenous drips in the hospital. The media reports suggest “a widespread outbreak of an undiagnosed respiratory illness in several areas in China,” according to the International Society for Infectious Diseases Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED). “It is not at all clear when this outbreak started, as it would be unusual for so many children to be affected so quickly,” the body said, but reports of illness predominantly showing up in children suggest “some exposure at the schools.” China maintained a policy known as Covid zero, marked by strict lockdowns and quarantines, mass testing, and rigorous contact tracing, for nearly two years before abandoning it last December. Chinese authorities attributed the spike in illnesses to the lifting of these hard-line restrictions, which prevented the spread of other illnesses as well as Covid, in addition to an autumn cold snap and the circulation of known pathogens including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza and mycoplasma pneumonia.

| #4 They've created a problem for themselves here. It's too soon to affect next year's election and they won't be taken seriously if they try to get worked up about another virus next summer. |
