Version 0.23 (2023-11-28 11:16:07.488000)

updates: China is experiencing a surge of respiratory illnesses, including flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other infections, mainly affecting children. The increase in respiratory illnesses began in May and includes cases of mycoplasma pneumoniae, RSV, adenovirus, influenza, and COVID-19. The National Health Commission and the National Administration of Disease Control and Prevention are monitoring the situation, promoting vaccination, and providing medical resources and treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the increase in cases is not unexpected given the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist, agrees that the surge is likely due to the lifting of restrictions and the co-circulation of known pathogens. Similar patterns have been observed globally when COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. Overcrowding in hospitals, particularly in northern areas like Beijing and Liaoning province, has been reported, leading to long wait times. To mitigate the risk of cross-infection, parents are urged to take children with mild symptoms to grassroots medical and health institutions or general hospitals for pediatric care.

Version 0.02 (2023-11-23 06:58:14.006000)

updates: The World Health Organization is investigating clusters of respiratory illness and pneumonia among children in northern China. Children's hospitals in Beijing, Liaoning, and other parts of the country are overwhelmed with sick children, and schools are on the verge of suspension. The WHO has requested additional information from China, including patient lab results and data on the circulation of known respiratory pathogens. The cause of the illness is still unknown, but some experts suspect it could be due to already recognized respiratory pathogens or mycoplasma pneumoniae. The WHO has advised Chinese citizens to obtain recommended vaccinations, maintain distance from those who are ill, wear masks, ensure good ventilation, wash their hands, and seek medical care as needed. The increase in flu-like illness in northern China over the past month suggests a surge in non-pandemic viruses. Experts have proposed theories such as 'immunity debt' and viral interference to explain post-pandemic surges in other viruses. The WHO emphasizes the need for accurate epidemiological data and lab-based data to understand the situation. The investigation is of global concern, as the world is interconnected and the impact of the epidemic could extend beyond China.
