Similarities with Covid situation

HMPV is known to cause flu-like symptoms and can also show symptoms similar to COVID-19. As the virus spreads, health officials are closely monitoring the situation. It is also being compared with COVID because the current situation in China is similar to what it was 5 years ago. Even during COVID, China hid the effects of this dangerous virus from the world and the same is being done now.

 

China's disease control authority said it is operating a surveillance system for pneumonia of unknown origin, amid fears of a surge in cases of certain respiratory diseases during winter, Reuters reported. The move to set up the surveillance system is aimed at helping officials identify pneumonia of unknown origin.

The aim is to help establish protocols to deal with threats. When the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 first appeared five years ago, there were no solid preparations. That is why this time complete seriousness is being maintained.
