Topic: China is back in a new chapter with the HMPV Virus (Read 759 times)

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.

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?

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm assuming that is at least a year ago when you got the vaccine, in which case the chances of you experiencing any of the side effects is negligible. So there is nothing to worry about.

I don't know what's happening in the UK but in my country, there are no Covid cases anymore. Tourists come and go, millions of tourists visit a tiny country every year but there is no Covid anymore, isn't that strange? I haven't heard someone getting Covid since 2022 and that's strange to my mind. I believe that they were calling Covid to any flu like cases because it's clear that their testing kits weren't correct. Also, a virus that spreads and mutates that easily, can't disappear quickly. I believe that it's media and panic that make people afraid and cause massive bad things.
I got vaccinated because my job forced me to get it. Nothing changed in my life, I didn't get Covid before, and I didn't get Covid afterwards but I had a very severe headache for 2 days after each vaccine shot, I felt like my head was about to squeeze.

I'm talking from my reality, I don't know what was the situation in other countries.
Hospitals in my country are bad, if you aren't rich and don't have doctor relatives, you won't get good treatment and doctors are very good at lying. If you don't have lung problems, they'll make you sleep in a cold place where you'll get lung problems.
How will you explain this to me? People didn't get vaccinated in my country but very few people died. How did the covid disappear after Russia-Ukraine war? Media was talking a lot about Covid and new strains every day but now, since 2022, they don't talk about it. I'll repeat again that only a few people got vaccinated and a few people died from Covid compared to other countries. Here people also weren't protecting distance and other regulations, yet, we had one of the lowest covid numbers. Isn't this strange?
I also know from a doctor, who is my relative and works in a local clinic that if you died with any problem like Stroke, Heart attack, etc and you had a covid during that time, they would write Covid as the reason for death.

That's not a conspiracy theory. There have been many reports of side effects or complications after a period of vaccination, but it is worth noting that these complications do not appear in everyone, so many people do not believe it and think that this is just a conspiracy theory. In addition, according to the report, complications appear sooner or later, some people will have complications, some will not, depending on each person's constitution. You are fine and have had no complications so far, but that does not guarantee that you will be fine in the future, so don't be complacent.

As far as I know, vaccine development takes a long time from research, clinical trials to the final product...A full process would require four or five phases, but because the pandemic spread so quickly, most studies have been cut short by one or two phases. Previously, experts also warned that hastily developing a vaccine is very dangerous and causes many consequences, but pandemic prevention is more important and that is why the vaccine was hastily licensed.


https://www.floridahealth.gov/newsroom/2024/01/20240103-halt-use-covid19-mrna-vaccines.pr.html

Yes, this kind of “project relaunch” probably didn't achieve the goals of the first version of the project. We can assume (this is more of a conspiracy theory, and I really want to be wrong that what I said below is my delusion ) ), but we can assume that the goal was to create an illusion of “independently appeared deadly virus”, the vaccine for which will be “accidentally” only in China.... The consequences can only be guessed. And the consequences for the whole world....

Well, that's news to me. We thought it was something new caused/spread by/from Bat or something. The panic caused more damage than the virus itself. Furthermore, people are now faced with a new kind of problem that came with the vaccination. I don't know if it's rumor or not. But many people are claiming they are facing several skin conditions like rash, itching, allergies, or sores after taking the vaccines and all (and it doesn't go away). Even my own father, who never had any sort of allergy before, is now having an allergic reaction, constantly complaining every day. Some are claiming that those who took the full dose of the vaccines will have many health issues in the future, long term side effects. So far I have never faced anything because I never took all the doses our government provided us with! But the general mass around me, saying they regret taking the vaccines, that they shouldn't have!

Opps, here we go again! COVID 2.0: Remastered

1. from this “fake virus” (COVID19), out of 6 people in the hospital room where I was lying in 2020, 2 died within 3 days with the same symptoms. Another 1 suffered severe lung damage. In my country, tens of thousands of people died in a fairly short period of time, far exceeding the annual average.
2. The virus mutates and there are several variations. Thanks to vaccination, however, it is no longer so severely tolerated, plus the population has developed a “new” immunity
3. The new virus, hopefully, will not be so dangerous, but still the fact is the fact - it was “launched to the masses”, and “oh coincidence!!!”, for some reason again from China.... 

Nobody really knows if there are side effects or not, maybe except for the ones who made it.
Actually, I was scared at first, I’m not gonna lie, that’s why I didn’t rush to get vaccinated. Eventually, though I was convinced, especially when it became clear you couldn’t go to public places without it. It honestly felt like being trapped at home forever, so I just decided to go for it.

second outbreak is the last thing we want in this difficult economy, hoping this won't be as back as COVID-19 but at least COVID-19 taught us to move fast when there's virus like this.


there are so many conspiracy out there especially in twitter that describes side effects, honestly man, as someone who already got vaccinated as well, these conspiracy feels like fear mongering, but knowing that internet is full of misinformation anyway, i just can't really care about it. right now i'm fine as I was before vaccinated so I guess there's no side effect.

I got vaccinated during the pandemic too, so I hope there are no side effects - man, you really scared me there!

But you’re right, there are still COVID cases, but they’re much more manageable now. So I guess, with vaccines and medicines available, people aren’t as worried anymore. Looking back, it seems like the initial panic caused a lot of chaos, but the actual number of deaths might not have been as high as the fear made it seem.

now, I don’t think there’s a virus that can scare us the same way, becauase with advanced technology, like quantum computing, research can move faster, and I’ve heard it’s already being used to accelerate discoveries. Hopefully, we’re better prepared for any future health crises.

Just as some countries benefited from the availability of vaccines for Corona, the HMPV virus infection will benefit all countries that can find an antidote or vaccine. Just as people have been locked down in Corona, there may not be such a lockdown in HMPV virus. But Bitcoin investors will benefit from the lockdown because those who could not invest will definitely be able to invest if the Bitcoin market suddenly falls due to this virus. And those who have invested will definitely get a lot of profit if the market increases due to this virus infection.

Covid has not disappeared, they just stopped reporting new cases and new strains all over the mainstream media. Otherwise it still exists and new cases are still being recorded. There are more cases in countries with poor healthcare system. If you search long enough you'll find some statistics as well like this one from UK government reporting between 800 to 3000 cases per week!
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-flu-and-covid-19-surveillance-reports-2024-to-2025-season/national-flu-and-covid-19-surveillance-report-9-january-week-2


The only thing that's changed is that COVID19 is now a known virus so it is not as scary as it was back in 2020. We know its symptoms, we have testing kits for it to detect it easily and quickly, we know the treatments, and so on.

BTW I don't think vaccines did much if anything at all. Specially the American ones, most of which were either scam, contaminated and had severe side effects.

I don't want to sound ignorant but I believe that these viruses are either fake, made-up thing or they are not as dangerous as governments promote them. I don't know what was happening in other countries but in my country people didn't get vaccinated because they are anti-vaxers, which isn't a good thing and is caused by the lack of education but here is the interesting part, there were moderately high covid cases when covid was active but once the war started between Russia and Ukraine, Covid somehow disappeared. Those who were left at home and didn't go to hospitals survived better than those who moved in hospital. In my country, hospitals lack good doctors because if someone is good, they usually immigrate abroad and the quality of education is low here, doctors try to make money and don't care much about the health of people. If someone dies, it's not a tragic for them. Your chance of surviving is higher if you stay at home than in the hospital.
It's interesting, how did Covid disappear so quickly? Why aren't there new strains? Okay, in western countries people got vaccinated and that's how they explain that Covid disappeared but what about countries like mine where people didn't protect a single restriction? A herd immunity? I don't believe that's the case because here didn't die many people and as they promoted, the Covid is very dangerous.

I believe that HMPV virus is another either fake or real virus that aims to weaken the economy of many countries or pharmaceutical businesses are gaining a huge portion of our money with this step.

Agenda 2030 (The Great Reset) needs to continue by all means necessary and normalcy doesn't help them to achieve their goals...

Have a look at this, more "coincidences":

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEpPLQ5Mml-/

It might benefit bitcoin holders, but I was hoping we could return, as a world, back to a sense of normalcy, leaving pandemics, lockdowns and woke-agendas behind. You know, as the world used to be. What can I say? "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

Why are you worried?

There's a chance they could print yet another 10 trillion $$$ with a new lockdown.

Yeah, it's just too much of a coincidence. One week before Trump enters office, having threatened China with high tariffs, and another deadly virus is reported in China? What is this? The sequel movie of his previous presidency?

Please tell me we're not going to experience another pandemic with lockdown etc., because of this...

Now it will be very interesting to observe who will be the first to “invent an effective vaccine” against the “unexpectedly” appeared “new” virus ?
And again it will be interesting to observe the area of spread of this virus.

New conspiracies and theories are started to come as we have some new about HMPV specially while we are having every time new big threat for the world from China this creates more chaos about economy and many other things recently I also read and watch few things even main stream media is hiding many things about this but still thanks to trade war or healthy environment we are having updates about things like these from many sources those want to heat things at the top level and want to have China stays under pressure, but they are not doing anything about their aggressive approach.

Today few China media reports were clearly saying it is not big threat as flu is more troubling than this new HMPV as they are trying to divide opinion, but these tactics are not going to work because still we need to be stayed secure from this with not trying to visit this place where things are troubling keep cautious and also keep alarm peoples those are near to you because this is the best way for living securely.

You are not the only one who is not getting vaccinated, not wearing a mask, not using hand sanitizer...and not getting covid virus during the pandemic. There are some people like that in my area too, maybe they are healthier than others or luckier because their bodies can fight the covid virus. But that doesn't mean you or they can be lax and non-compliant by not getting vaccinated and not protecting themselves...You may not be infected, but that doesn't mean you can't infect those around you, especially your loved ones.

Not to mention, your resistance can fight the covid virus but there is no guarantee that you will be immune to all other viruses. So don't be subjective and don't let others be affected by your indifference.

In the country where I live now, it is still not so prominently discussed by many people because maybe most people are not worried about it. And to be honest, I also don't like it when it is really exaggerated to the point where it can cause more profits for hospital medical equipment which is predominantly masks. And when I read the news a few days ago, I also immediately remembered the Covid19 case that had spread to all corners of the world so that it might have been anticipated immediately by the government if the symptoms and cases were almost similar to Covid19 before.

I think China and the CCP might have learned their lesson from attempting to deny that something like this is happening again, so my guess is that everyone is just shocked that this kind of epidemic is coming back.


You should use hand sanitizer though. Very good product, much better than soap. It didn't simply become popular during the pandemic.

The virus is not new it has been around for a very long time and have been dictated in different countries. I also thought that the virus was new until I did a search and saw that it has been here for decades. Most countries have not fully recovered from the effects of COVID-19 another pandemic will bring untold hardship to the people. My country has beefed up surveillance at entry points into the country to ensure that the virus is curtailed.

China needs more people because the population is shrinking fast. They have lifted the restrictions on childbirth and couples are given some incentives to have more children. Therefore, I am not sure that they will develop disease because they want to cut population. COVID-19 gave the Chinese economy a fatal blow, I don't think they will want to harm the economy any further.

if this virus gonna cause outbreak again like COVID-19, so many nation with fragile economy aren't gonna get spared. though I've read some article where there are expert saying that this virus not gonna be as big as covid because modern people are less vulnerable to this but nevertheless, it's still a concern.

inflation is so high already after COVID-19, really don't want to see everything getting even worse with this new virus, but I also know that media also like to make hyperbolic stories just for clicks.

This new virus called HMPV will not affect us like covid-19 did because many countries have already known things to do to make sure they reduce it's spread and that's because of the covid-19 experience, for now every country should check anyone coming inside there country to be sure they don't have the HMPV virus if they fail to do a proper check up then the country will be in a serious attack.
If this virus spread the way COVID-19 did the world economy will be really affected and the only sector that will be functional is the medical sector however I still believe it won't spread the way COVID-19 did.
I really don't know if China is doing this on purpose in other to reduce there countries population or that of the world in general or to affect the world economy however I believe if this is the case some other countries will be aware of it, but we really can tell if truly there government are doing it on purpose, for now let's take prevent measure by hygiene practices which are frequent hand washing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, cleaning frequently touched surfaces and also covering coughs and sneezes and lastly avoid spreading the virus by staying home when sick, take permission from your work place don't put the live of other people in damage.

Basically there are many viruses around the world all the time, COVID was the one that locked us down in our houses so that's why we fear the word virus now, and that's why these type of news do grow more than it should, but viruses do happen everywhere.

I remember Ebola was a big thing too, but nothing happened and nothing came out of it, we didn't just got stuck in our homes because of it, tens of millions didn't die because of it neither. Covid was a huge deal, it was one in a hundred years type of deal, just because one virus did that, doesn't mean all of them will do it too. Of course be careful, take your precautions and all, but do not overblow it. I wore a mask when COVID was around, that was the responsible thing to do and I cared about others as much as I cared about myself and I did that, it's fine, but there are people who still wears them even today, that's a bit much, I mean sure if it makes you feel better then I can't just take it off you, but do not expect me to do it now too.

Practically they've preserved and decided to launch the virus this year so they can hold down the world's population and attention all to themselves.I sincerely don't want to get carried away with this sudden panic concerning the Virus but it's probably not a good news to hear for the start of the year.The outbreak of this virus could lead to another lockdown and delay in the economical affairs of the world.

Again and more again,
I don't know why new virus always come from China will its manipulate to be greatest business in the future after success with Covid 19 how much medicine, vaccine sold by China around to the world. I follow with the new virus variants publishing by China government because my country government Indonesia have announce to public be careful with the HMPV Virus. Actually what ever kinds of virus have goals set by Chine government get more profitable with their business and already preparing what vaccine most effective to fight this virus and possibility distribute all countries around the world.

Due the the HMPV Virus come from China, better for awhile don't travel yet there how to avoid your self with that virus and become first people in your country become the victim of the HMPV Virus.

Again?
Just as the economy was approaching normality, it was immediately hit by the latest issue about the virus people must be furious. After all Covid 19 has left many wounds for all of humanity without exception. Deaths that were not caused by Covid are still included in the list of victims. If you think about it, I myself have never followed the government's recommendations since this pandemic, I have never been vaccinated at all.

Regarding the economy, it will clearly be destroyed again if this new virus continues to surface. China has many ways to spread fear throughout the world because that was its goal from the start.
My advice don't be easily provoked by news like that, if you don't take it seriously then this news will slowly sink by itself because it doesn't get a response.

We are like in a training ground, every cycle of chaos is always there from generation to generation. It has been going on for a long time. The Corona virus disappears and then a new virus appears that seems to filter humans to reduce the population in the world that continues to be dense.

Hopefully this virus will not spread to other countries, especially Asia, which when Corona was the first country to feel the impact. Economic war will always take place in any way to disrupt world stability, making the 2 camps continue to clash with each other. China with the BRICS alliance against western hegemony.

We know nothing except that the virus has been known for over 20 years and that information has already been shared in this thread - and if you don't read other people's posts then not only can you write something like this, but you continue to spread panic over something that is completely pointless.

Instead of focusing on how to find a cure for cancer, reduce deaths from heart disease, and ensure everyone has access to medicines, clean water, and enough food - we are dealing with a virus that will become an old story with the disappearance of winter.

We don't know anything about this HMP virus.
I don't believe in the conspiracy theory, that China wants to spread a new global pandemic. The economy of China hasn't fully recovered from the last pandemic(and some US sanctions), why would the Chinese create another pandemic? This doesn't make any sense.
I really hope that this new virus won't be as deadly as the early stages of COVID-19 and it won't be as contagious as COVID-19.
A new pandemic would crash the global financial markets in the short term. Crypto prices would also drop severely.

It is the principle of all totalitarian states to hide the inconvenient truth, and publish a mass of lies. Otherwise they cease to exist. I am more interested in something else - how long the Chinese experiments with viruses, which have already claimed millions of lives, will continue, and most importantly - what is the real purpose of these experiments? I realize that in today's situation to make China look “strong” there is only one way - to weaken the others. The status they have ascribed to themselves (the second pole of the world, with a hint that they replaced the rotten USSR) requires real strength, but China does not have it, and the problems are present and growing.
And a new pandemic looks logical for China:
- With decreasing production, China has a huge problem with a disgruntled population out of work, which is an internal tension that a totalitarian government doesn't need.
- economic problems in the west, in the wake of another pandemic, are guaranteed ! And this increases the likelihood of returning to supply and placing orders for the production of goods in China. So the only logical beneficiary is China.

Everything you mentioned was experienced during the first time the world faced a pandemic. Aside from the protocols that had to be followed, there was also the rush to prepare medicines and vaccines.

What I really don’t like about pandemics is how some corrupt people take advantage of the situation. Hospitals jacking up their rates, relief goods and government aid getting pocketed by officials - it’s disgusting. Instead of helping, they’re making money off people’s suffering. Honestly, these kinds of people deserve to rot in hell.

There's also the thing that what could classify as a pandemic has to check a lot of the criteria before a consideration not to mention that HMPV might not even spread all throughout China or that it might not be as deadly as COVID was, we have to remain vigilant about this one because if people are talking about it, it's most likely that there's enough concern surrounding this matter that it's worth looking out for, the only thing that really concerns me about this virus is that it can be a really good way for people who spread disinformation to capitalize on it and make money by writing fake news and stories about it to incite fear and terror that a pandemic might be happening again.

Fortunately, I have not heard of HMPV here in my country, I do not know how widespread it is in the rest of the world so far, but I hope that this news is just exaggerated.

We cannot rule out the fact that China may resort to such dirty means that can destroy humanity in its economic war with the United States, this dirty immoral war that major countries resort to to maintain their control, its first victim is the poor people who do not have sufficient means of protection to take the vaccine or the necessary medicines to eliminate the virus.

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.

Everyone will continue to believe that any virus that appears to occur is related to Covid, which was attributed to China as if it was the one who created it and spread it in the world with pre-prepared specifications and characteristics. This can be included in the framework of the conspiracy theory, whose formulas and scenarios never end. Personally, I cannot confirm or deny whether the new virus is natural or prepared in a laboratory. However, I can confirm that dealing with it using scientific methods can lead to results that can help in reaching the origin of the disease. What is certain is that many doubts have become raised regarding everything that may appear new, considering the same position on the conspiracy theory. But this will make me doubt the entire scientific community and how it is ready for a conspiracy theory to become the prevailing idea on the basis of which we make analyses and conclusions.

It is not aware that the normalization of clothes like you will indeed make us much safer, after Covid Corona might be many people like you, doing things very clean to avoid viruses out there that endanger our lives and our families.

But unfortunately I do not, when Covid 19 I was not vaccinated and also did not do things that were recommended by the government such as using a mask using a hand sanitizer and so on, after all I am safe until now even though not a few of my neighbors were affected by the virus, so I might be different and more unconcerned with news like propaganda.

I don't want to believe on the mutation but that's the reality. The transfer from human to human and once it's contained inside someone's body, these viruses really are upgrading and mutating that gives different variants. While these viruses aren't really new and the constraints are becoming stronger, whether someone believes that these viruses won't be strong as the other one before, it all ends up of being prepared and avoiding to get contracted by any of it or with simple flu, take some rest and I'm paranoid if someone from my family got some cold and flu already.

There are too many issues that we have to bear with and even we're not from those sides of the world, we're about to get affected by all of those factors that you've mentioned. The climate change also does contribute to the mutation of these viruses that have been there many years ago and we can't do anything about that and like what they've said about covid-19, we will live together with it and that's why we need to strengthen our immune systems.

Every year in China, epidemics like this happen during the winter, and now someone wants to make a story about a virus that has been known for over 20 years and to which many people already have natural immunity. If a reasonable person looks back and takes a realistic look at the situation surrounding covid-19, he can conclude that this "disease" was exaggerated to incredible proportions with the obvious aim of testing how people will react if they start being treated like animals in a cage.

Covid has reportedly killed around 7 million people, but what they won't say is that the majority were mostly over 60 and that they didn't actually die from the virus, but with the virus. What I want to say is that this figure includes everyone who was found to be infected with the virus, even if the real cause of death was something completely different.

Unfortunately, the world will have to face something much more dangerous in the near future - and that threatens trade wars and claims over the territories of other countries.

China is hiding the real situation and maybe they didn't disclose the number of cases yet.  This is not the first time they are hiding this kind of situation since we already experience this when they hide Covid to the world. They only release the information when there's already a outbreak happened that's why its better to prepare than doing nothing. Although they are denying about it, but I believe there's already emergency situation happened due to that virus spreading since there's some information leaked already.

I don't think this can shake the economy since provably that leaders know what to do and lot of them gain experience thru situation happen on last covid 19.

Sheesh.. that's interesting. So what about those bat soups and other exotic foods in China that said the virus came through? So, was it only just a cover-up to hide their true motive? Hhmm... it is only sad that the blame is being put up on China. China is still humble there to provide help from other countries. Maybe a lot of people now are aware that Trump is involved on the virus issue, so this could backfire him and I'm afraid that this can now affect Bitcoin too.

This may cause a disappointment to those that expect for a 4 year-cycle and thinks the bull run we have last year is going to get carried on, hopefully bitcoin will remain a hedge against all politics and not disappointing al bitcoiners.

on the Plus side, No recorded death yet so maybe a normal hmpv and not one made by Man.
I really don't want to imagine the collapse it would cause I'm this shaky economy.
It doesn't hurt to be cautious, countries can try increasing surveillance.

You should
Because I doubt everyone you know or care about has said lifestyle.
Not to mention the impact it would have on the economy.

Personally I don't really care with any similar virus like corona where it's infectious by sneezing/contact with the illness and bad hygiene. It's because my lifestyle now was like lockdown during corona virus, I always wear mask every time I leave my home, bring hand sanitizer and wash my hand using soap.

It doesn't mean I will not get this disease, but my lifestyle will prevent infected by this virus.

Heard about it and it's definitely getting exaggerated by the Chinese. A pandemic like COVID is an ultra rare event that probably comes around once every 200 years or even more based on my research.

This new virus is most probably just one of many new viruses that flare up suddenly and fizzle out just as quickly in my honest opinion.

Of course, panic occurs because media crews and influencers on social media are actively spreading the news for online notifications so that there will certainly be various responses. I think this is easy to read where it is going. if the action that arises is excessive from the community, it will become the main discussion and the direction of entrepreneurs in the health sector is very profitable with such conditions. What needs to be worried about is if one day a disease comes that when we seek treatment + vaccination, it does not get better and even gets worse.

I'm not really interested in conspiracy theories and despite my previous post, it really doesn't matter where these things originate from. Their consequences are more important. For example another pandemic would hurt China due to having a large population and being the "world's factory" needing to produce a lot and be able to ship them abroad.
But it will also hurt USA significantly and specifically Trump's plans. He wishes to bring back production to the US soil and re-start the factories. He also wishes to get out of the recession. Neither of which would be possible if another pandemic is spread.

Coronavirus was also not a new virus, it was first found in 1920's.
It's the new variants that are problematic specially when the virus is "mutated" and becomes more damaging to the patient's body like the COVID19 variant was.

It is even more dangerous when there is human intervention in the mutation of the virus... like in a virus that is produced in a lab...

I've read some say that HMPV isn't a new virus and has been there many years ago. It's crazy that this is on all timing, I remember when covid-19 was at height, there was also another virus that was reported trying to spread somewhere but then it eventually lost the attention of the media.

Here's a quote from the "health experts".

The world is better prepared for any virus that has the same synonyms as COVID-19. The first epidemic took the world by surprise but this one might not have the same global effect. The HMPV has been around since 2001 when it was first discovered in the Netherlands. The presence of this virus has been reported in several countries before now. Maybe it is getting global attention because it is from China where the last pandemic originated from. Donald Trump will downplay this viruses just as he did to COVID.

Many people around the world, particularly older generations, are likely to have had this HMPV virus in the past so it is nothing new. However hysteria gets clicks and that drives advertising revenue for news papers so they absolutely love these kind of made up controversies. While I have absolutely zero trust in the Chinese government to report on anything accurately, it is nothing to be alarmed about at the moment and there is no point stressing about these things. A few months ago the newspapers were pushing monkey pox as the latest disaster for humanity and that materialized into absolutely nothing. I guess if you spend all day chasing news, these sort of gloomy doomsday stories really stand out to you.

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.

This new pandemic may be too early but Corona at that time also spread from an unknown area but spread quickly. China's population is spread all over the country, so the rate of spread can be easy.

Based on what I know, you always know the most about conspiracies, right? and it is also enough of a start for me to start it with 2025 where HMPV began to be echoed. There is always something to be suspicious of, especially since the US is again led by Trump, who is not very politically favored by China.

A new chapter of economic war must begin, and China is trying to light a little fire, just waiting for other igniters in some countries where China can easily bring immigrants. For example in my country there are 10 million people (4% - 5% of the total population).

When it comes from health experts, the general public will easily swallow the information raw. But what if the system that controls the experts is the basic capital to create chaos.

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.

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!

There are lots of deadly virus but I doubt we'll easily see a duplicate of covid just yet.  It spread so widely because it had no effect on some people yet they were carriers.  There are more deadly viruses known before and after covid so it wont be only one thing that makes it as impactful as covid turned out to be.

Unless there is a large volatile variance in the effects of the virus I wouldnt worry too much just yet, how easily it spreads etc.  of course anything air borne is bad enough to warn about.

I have come across this news somewhere, but didn't pay much attention.
I think this is probably another story to get the world's attention, because we've heard of some speculated cases of new viruses after the COVID incident, which is all coming from that same china. Besides, why must it be China?. Who awards the title for the country with the most number of viruses originated?.

I don't think all countries have fully recovered from covid-19 pandemic even though it is about 4years ago now. And now, there is already speculations of another one. Well, I don't know how severe it is, but I just hope it doesn't cause any damage. China should find ways to manage whatever is coming from their country, because I can't still figure out why something keeps originating from the same place over and over again.

Aside from the lack of vaccines, there was also just a lot of uncertainty regarding the virus and so the government did a lot of mistakes when it came to handling the people and their frustrations. They were also unprepared with facilities and equipment which made it a lot difficult to treat patients immediately.
I think we can be confident that it’s not only the experts that have learned but also the common people. We now know better than to doubt a virus because we have seen its effects and now we will be more careful.

I want to believe that this is exactly what it is. But we cannot invalidate our feelings as well because of what all of us experienced since 2020 about the covid-19 pandemic.

It seems that this is going to be a 4-5 year cycle trend as well that we get to panic for every epidemic that's reported in China or somewhere else into this world.

Well, people say that it's a simple flu and such. But I don't want to be confident with their words of affirmation, let's just take care of ourselves and if ever we go out, wear masks for protection if ever going into crowded places.

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.

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 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
