Why are so many children all over the world suddenly developing pneumonia? For the moment, health authorities are telling us that there is no reason to be alarmed. They are telling us that all of these cases of pneumonia are being caused by the flu, RSV and other common respiratory diseases. Hopefully that is the truth. But to many of us, it certainly appears that something very unusual is going on. As I discussed yesterday, massive numbers of children in China have been getting seriously sick. According to CBS News, Beijing and other areas of northern China have been hit the hardest so far…
Hospitals across China, the nation where the COVID-19 pandemic first emerged about four years ago, are grappling with a significant surge in respiratory illnesses among children. This primarily is being seen in Beijing and the northern regions.
The rise in cases has been making headlines in China and raising concerns internationally, as Chinese doctors are working overtime to care for a huge flood of small patients.
In response to this dramatic surge in cases, workers in hazmat suits have been spraying the streets and Chinese authorities have “brought back masks and social distancing”…
CHINA has brought back masks and social distancing in a chilling echo of lockdown as they battle a mystery pneumonia outbreak four years on from Covid.
Alarming footage has emerged of mask-wearing crowds inside Chinese hospitals as fears of a new pandemic sweep across the globe.
Areas in the north of the country such as Beijing and Liaoning have been hit the hardest, with reports emerging last week that hospitals are being overwhelmed with sick children.
Why is China implementing such extreme measures if there is no reason for concern?
According to a British news source, many of the children that are showing up at Chinese hospitals have developed what is known as “white lung syndrome”…
A common bacterial infection called mycoplasma pneumoniae has circulated since May but is now showing ground glass opacity in lung scans – an indicator of severe respiratory illness.
Also known as “white lung syndrome”, many parents are deeply worried and are having to wait at least a day just for emergency care.
There aren’t enough doctors to care for all of the kids that are severely ill, and that is extremely alarming.
I was hoping that this crisis would be limited to China, but now large numbers of children in Europe are suddenly developing pneumonia too…
Cases of pneumonia in children are rising in Europe as a second country reports an uptick in the deadly respiratory disease.
The Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL) has reported that 80 out of every 100,000 children in the country between ages five and 14 came down with pneumonia last week.
This is something that we will want to watch very, very closely.
If Europe follows the same path that China has, we may have a new global health crisis on our hands.
And it looks like the U.S. has been affected as well.
According to Fox News, hospitals in the Washington D.C. area are also “seeing an uptick in sick visits” from patients that have developed respiratory conditions…
The mysterious respiratory illnesses that are reportedly wreaking havoc in hospitals in China are now raising concerns for the medical community across the country and impacting Washington D.C., according to reports.
FOX 5 DC has learned that hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care locations and clinics are reportedly seeing an uptick in sick visits.
At this point, we don’t know if what is happening in the United States and and what is happening in Europe are both related to what is happening in China.
Is it just a coincidence that kids in Europe are developing pneumonia in staggering numbers just like Chinese kids are?
During the COVID pandemic, children fared better than anyone else.
But now children are getting absolutely hammered by whatever this is.
And all of this is happening at a time when hospitals in the United States are dealing with repeated cyberattacks.
In fact, hospitals in three states have actually had to divert patients away from their emergency rooms due to cyberattacks on the company that owns them…
Hospitals in at least three states are diverting patients from their emergency rooms after a major cyberattack hit their parent company last week.
Ardent Health Services, which oversees 30 hospitals across the U.S., said Monday that it had been the victim of a severe ransomware attack in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas, forcing it to take action.
“In an abundance of caution, our facilities are rescheduling some non-emergent, elective procedures and diverting some emergency room patients to other area hospitals until systems are back online,” the company said in a news release.
There have been so many cyberattacks in the news lately.
Personally, I think that terror organizations in the Middle East are probably behind many of them.
But of course I cannot prove that.
Let’s just hope that our system can weather these cyberattacks, because I have a feeling that our hospitals are going to be very busy this winter.
Hopefully this current outbreak will fade away quickly.
But even if it does, it is just a matter of time before more great pestilences absolutely ravage our planet.
We have reached a point where even college students can easily create extremely deadly hybrid diseases in a laboratory setting.
But once a “mistake” happens and a bug gets loose, we are not able to control what happens.
Tremendous plagues are going to kill millions upon millions of people in the years ahead, and what we have been through so far is just the beginning…
