China Faces New Health Crisis: The Emergence of Human Metapneumovirus

China Faces New Health Crisis: The Emergence of Human Metapneumovirus @neosciencehub #HMPV #China #Covid19 #Pandemic #Publichealth #neosciencehub

As the world continues to grapple with the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic, China has encountered another public health challenge with the rapid spread of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV). This respiratory virus, which can cause symptoms similar to influenza and COVID-19, has led to a surge in hospitalizations and concerns among healthcare facilities. What is HMPV? Human Metapneumovirus is a…

Four confirmed cases of mycoplasma pneumoniae or the “walking pneumonia” have been detected in the Philippines this year, DOH said. One case was reported in January, one in July, and two in September.

Two types of pneumonia, bronchitis and of course COVID are at an all time surge right now especially in children. Adults and children are also being misdiagnosed for pneumonia or also denied getting chest x-rays and being told it’s just the flu. I’ve currently have been seeing infants up to 19 year olds passing away for something that could have been taken care of with basic rest and accessible antibiotics. (Please have whichever practitioner that denies X-rays write in their notes why for legal protection.)

Mask up, COVID never ended and none of the working class can afford healthcare. Mask up for the kids and the disabled. Mask up for care of your community.

I made an Instagram account!!

Hey! So, I made an Instagram account to raise awareness for PANS/PANDAS, Chronic Lyme, Mycoplasma, + coinfections. Basically the same thing I'm doing here, but more official-looking lol.

The account name is @pans_experience (the profile photo is a white circle with a green outline and a green ribbon, just in case).

No pressure to follow it, but I just wanted to put it out there =]

0/10 hospital experience. There were no huge lizard nurses or wimpy sewed-up doctors. They also shot me up with a steroid that made my entire body explode then regenerate in 2 seconds

Understanding Mycoplasma Pneumoniae and Walking Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a common illness that affects millions of people every year, and one of the less severe types is known as walking pneumonia. This type of pneumonia is often caused by a particular bacterium called Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Understanding this condition is essential to recognize its symptoms, seek appropriate treatment, and prevent its spread. What is Mycoplasma Pneumoniae? Mycoplasma…

More public health news, this time for humans. There's a variety of pneumonia that pops up every few years surging again for the first time since Covid.

We know what it is and how to treat it, so it's not as scary as a new disease like Covid-19, but the predictions are that the spread might be worse than usual. Probably because Covid has been damaging so many of our immune and respiratory systems.

So far Mycoplasma pneumonia has been reported in China, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, and the United States (specifically a single county in Ohio). It's mostly infecting children but has spread to some adults as well.

Current pneumonia vaccines do not protect against Mycoplasma. We're just going to have to be careful.

Got a glimpse of where we're at as a country medically via the r/nursing subreddit. People are really not okay and it's deeply scary. 'Letting it rip' when it comes to covid is killing thousands and disabling millions. With the latter, here's what it looks like:

Nurses saying they are seeing ear infections in kids all the time secondary to other illnesses (or routinely in adults which they have never seen before), nurses saying their hospitals are overrun by flus, rsv, norovirus, mycoplasma pneumonia. many people saying they went to the doctor sick as a dog and came out with 3 different illness diagnoses at the same time or that they and their kids get sick over and over and over. it is not normal for this to happen. we were lied to about covid, y'all.

have you and the people around you been physically as well this last year or two as they were in 2019?

If you didn't know, as a lot of people don't - covid makes you immunocompromised. It damages the immune system, blood vessels and organ systems. It's a vascular infection, not a cold. the more infections you get, the worse it is. In the lab it's considered a level 3 pathogen (categories are for risk level/safety protocols), in the same category as tuberculosis. People are being treated with IVIG, because it's for immunocompromised people.

Also there is improper preparation and tracking for a h5n1 (type of bird flu) that has a very real chance of evolving to become a pandemic this and/or next flu season. they are finding it in wastewater all over the country, someone in Louisiana is in critical condition with it. Flu vaccine provides partial protection to it so I'd highly recommend getting that this and next winter.

Following epidemiologists is really important and helpful. The government wants you to go to work and think things are normal so they don't have to send you another check - they are not invested in our collective wellness (in fact, they take tons of lobbying money from insurance companies invested in keeping you sick). With some of these folks saying it is taking them weeks to recover from the flu, I wonder if some of it isn't bird flu, though it could be just being significantly immunocompromised.

fwiw masks work. I haven't gotten as much as a cold in years. well fitting kn95s and n95s protect you. even if you can't wear one at work, wear one to the doctor, at the grocery store and pharmacy. it would really help disabled people in general too.

So what does this dysfunction cause?

The severity of Long COVID symptoms directly correlates with the degree of neutrophil dysfunction. This discovery explains why many children with Long COVID experience:

Increased susceptibility to infections

Persistent fatigue

Delayed recovery from minor illnesses

"Hey look, neutrophil dysfunction in kids. You know what neutrophils are really good at clearing? Bacteria. You know what we have been seeing a lot of lately? Mycoplasma pneumoniae." Posted by @inkblue01 on X
