China is back in a new chapter with the HMPV Virus

[retreat]

I just want to know your opinion on the HMPV Virus issue, maybe you can share your opinion and also whether in some countries it has become a topic of discussion?

Or is this all just nonsense that China is trying to exaggerate and they themselves will sell their anti-virus.

Your opinion is greatly appreciated

HMPV is not a new disease, it has been around since 2001 and it is not as dangerous as covid even though both diseases have similarities, so people don't need to worry too much about this type of disease because it is just a common virus - and I think humans have formed their own antibodies against viruses, especially since we have faced COVID-19 which is much worse than this. But even so, we also need to be aware of this virus (and other viruses), by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding sick people as much as possible - you never know when your unlucky day will be - so just take care of your health.

You are both right and wrong a bit. COVID was actually as dangerous as they claim it was, tens of millions of people died because of it, I know people who died from it as well.

Not to diminish the power of vaccines, I believe in them, while they could of course be dangerous, they were what we had as solution, now we are not seeing millions dying from it, so obviously it worked, I am not one of those people who think COVID was fake, I believe COVID was serious because I lost some distant people from it, they weren't really close by people, I wasn't really sad, it was like uncle of my friend type of thing, but I have seen the hospital during the same time and people dying every single day in every hospital.

HOWEVER, what you are right about is the fact that now that we have seen covid, they are making a bigger deal out of every single virus, that was one thing, that was one problem, not every virus is as dangerous as that, so they are definitely lying about the possible impact, it is not going to be a big deal at all.

I don't have any idea about this type of virus. But I hope that this virus is not like Covid-19 where many people died but they don't know the cause. They only know they can not breath as well and get in the hospital which ends diagnose of Covid-19 by the doctor.

When Covid-19 attack here, many people get the effects and makes them can not go to anywhere free. There is limitation from the government for their citizen and other strictly rules which makes their citizen can not works in their job. Yes, hospital gets the profitable because they can claim the cost to the government. But citizen gets the bad effect because they lost their job, family, and many of them can not survive.

It is definitely very suspicious specially when you put it together with the US political changes. Last time it was Trump in the office and he was waging an economic war on China. Then COVID19 was created in a lab and patient zero that was in found in the US first was covered up as a normal flu while it locked China up.

Again in 2024, after 4 years Trump is becoming US president again and he is already starting his economic war against the world by focusing on China the most. Now a new pandemic threat is rising once again!

I will not doubt it because there is a lot going on that we are unaware of. I am really just concerned about the situation because in my country the COVID really had a big effect on most of us that we are still in recovery. If there is another pandemic as deadly as COVID, it will cripple our struggling economy. I took the news of COVID at the initial stages as a rumor or not something so serious until it started locking down borders and keeping us indoors. This should be taken seriously, countries should already be proactive to avoid a breakout in their country.

If the news is across the nation I think that countries leaders suppose to understand that they need a preventive measure now, before the new virus will be established, it's because they were reluctant enough that's why corona virus really affects most of the nation, because they was not control at the early stage, at this point that the news is still under incubator I think any country that have the principles of leadership will be more  interested to to get themselves equipped so that any illness introduced will not get them affected, even though it happens that the information is real.

Both HMPV and COVID-19 cause respiratory symptoms such as coughing, fever, congestion, and shortness of breath. They also spread through respiratory droplets.

HMPV: Peaks during winter and spring.
COVID-19: Spreads year-round due to evolving variants.
Post-COVID-19 lockdowns, surges in HMPV cases have been observed as populations re-expose themselves to respiratory pathogens.

As the title suggests, China has recently been shocked by the HMPV Virus or the abbreviation for Human Metapneumovirus Virus, where this virus is not much different from diseases that generally attack the respiratory tract such as flu, cough, runny nose, fever, and shortness of breath.

Based on the background of the virus, we may be reminded of Covid 19 which also originated from China. I mean is this another commotion that they are trying to spread to continue to disrupt the world's economic conditions which are just starting to recover. Of course I am a bit skeptical because based on the Corona case, how paralyzed the economy is. The lower middle class is the target, and do you know which sector is the most profitable during Covid 19? hospital medical equipment.

I believe one of the main problem with China and viruses striking there and then propagating across the world has much to do with the diet and the customs of the people living in some regions of mainland China. If we assume COVID actually surged from someone in China eating some exotic animal, then it would be only a matter of time before more viruses move onto humans if they continue to eat what they should not.
If it was a thing out of a laboratory, then it is certainly already suspicious they allow something similar to COVID to spiral out of control and disrupting the rest of the world.

I don't want to be too conspiratorial, though. Perhaps, Trump administration will impose serious sanctions against China if they continue to be the origin of some many viruses and biological threats.

I had to laugh after reading your post. China indeed eats some animals that are known carriers of viruses. A documentary showed a farm where cockroaches are brewed and sold as food. But I don't think some of the diseases that have ravaged China can be connected to the food they consume. There is no proof that COVID-19 came from an animal or diet. Most reports claimed that it broke out in laboratories.

Maybe their population plays more role than the food. It is easier for diseases that emanate from the country to spread easily because they have plenty of people crowded in cities. And the high rate of elderly also contributes to its easy spread.

This couldn't be a mere coincidence, right? Having it happening twice under same Trump's administration. Well, since we really haven't gotten something tangible on that to prove that this the pandemic is China's own approach in getting at the US in their economic wars between the two countries.

The COVID-19 pandemic period was an experience I wouldn't want to find myself in anymore, the post-effects did led to many people losing their jobs due to economic downtime, cost of living soaring high as inflation grew wings and since then life hasn't really become normal for some societies as they had to lose loved ones which they are trying to get over with and here is another news or rumours about another pandemic. Not again please.

Tell me - do you really think that no one has access to the Internet and real information, where you can find out the real chronology of the spread of the virus, the center of its origin, China's attempts to hide this fact and so on and so forth. While there is information that confirms the artificial modification of the virus and even the name of Chinese laboratories that worked on this project ?
Or let's go the hard way - explain how the U.S. benefits from the pandemic ?  Only without manipulations and taking into account the real problems that the US economy has experienced. Who is the ultimate beneficiary of the pandemic?

Now, I’m sure they’ve continued their research to prepare for potential future pandemics and ways to prevent them.
So, let’s trust the experts and have faith in God - everything will be alright.

I'm all in on trusting the experts to do their jobs but there's so much distrust for the experts and governments and that is the problem people are having. There is always a conspiracy to be gotten out of every situation. People just don't believe what they're told anymore and I can't blame them, they've been lied to too many times.
I'm more angered over the elite that spread such conspiracy. They talk about how the vaccines are to kill people and how the virus is purposely being spread to kill people in Africa and all sorts of bullshit stories that cause panic and chaos among people.
We really have to let and help the experts and governments do their jobs instead of unknowingly making their jobs harder.

The corona virus pandemic has created a lot of buzz around the world and the emergence of new viruses will definitely bring the world back into the spotlight as soon as the outbreak subsides. If the HMPV virus does become an outbreak, the world will once again experience a second lockdown.

I researched on that virus. We could not underestimate that kind of virus because in case of COVID-19, we underestimated and after we all faced lockdown and economy crises happened for 2 to 3 years. I think scientist should work against the virus because that could damage the economy of World because it is not restricted to the China ,it will spread in few months in the whole World. That symptoms looking like COVID-19 but it could be next version,So it will be more dangerous. I think World should prepare for every kind of situation because that is due to nature and God is furious with us due to our sins.People forgot God and then God took action against them in the shape of diseases like COVID-19 or HMPV .

Judging by the posts on social media, seems like there's a bit of a panic already.
The COVID-19 situation in the past played a huge role in helping us prepare for situations like this, in case it spreads globally. I believe the impact won’t be as significant as COVID-19 because, back then, the biggest issue was panic, especially since scientists didn’t have a vaccine ready immediately.

Now, I’m sure they’ve continued their research to prepare for potential future pandemics and ways to prevent them.
So, let’s trust the experts and have faith in God - everything will be alright.

In the advent of this HMPV spreading across continents you could be the sure that the hit would be same as deadly as it were with the COVID-19 pandemic in most third world nations. Countries which could be less hit and spread drastically prevented are those advanced countries who are already making preparations against a possible outbreak since such info about the HMPV started making the news.

Research works in third world nations are poorly and insufficiently funded by the government despite their awareness of the importance of scientific research studies to a nation's development in health and other scientific solutions to environmental issues. For those of us in that part of the world we only put our faith in God for protection because the government has failed.

Given that we already know for sure that COVID-19 did not appear by accident, but “thanks” to Chinese biolaboratories, and given the growing problems of the Chinese economy, as well as the growing pressure on rogue/terrorist countries and their “keepers”, China is probably once again trying to shift the vector of attention to the pandemic, and divert attention from “its own person”. But we will watch the development of the situation....
An incident that happened once is a coincidence, repeated a second time in the same place and by the same method is a system.

PS Very interesting is the age distribution of risks in the risk zone, first of all - elderly people. This is one of the biggest problems in China - aging population and the heavy burden created by pensioners.

I reckon that is a peculiar way of solving the housing crisis, however precisely in China and as on now there are many thousands of homes unsold and a creeping slowdown of the economy. Even the CCP is now asking Jack Ma to come back a create growth for them after lynching publicly his image.

But, yes it is not impossible that all this is by design.
