What is China New Virus?

China is again struck with a new, alarming virus that attacks the lungs and respiratory tract in children. The outbreak in the country has been going on since May, and now, the country's medical service faces thousands of patients daily.

The severe respiratory disease attacks respiratory organs, causing secondary symptoms associated with pneumonia. In addition to this, body pain and breathing difficulty are reported in children. Schools have been shut down, and people are requested to follow the WHO Guidelines. 

In this blog post, we will discuss what is the China New Virus and how you can take preventive precautions.

What is China New Virus?

China is currently facing a new virus causing respiratory abnormalities, including Pneumonia. However, you can rest assured that researchers have not reported any new pathogens related to the illness. Unlike COVID-19, which was caused by the coronavirus, the new respiratory infection results from pathogens such as influenza virus, adenoviruses, and RSV. 

Chinese healthcare professionals expected the outbreak long ago. This was mainly an estimation of the country’s first winter season without COVID restrictions. However, epidemiologists believe that the prevalence of pneumonia in China is highly unusual.  

What Does Chinese Health Care Say?

The National Health Commission of China reported the first “Pneumonia Outbreak” case on November 13, 2023. Since then, there has been a sudden hike in children's hospitalization cases. This week, the situation became even more intense and gained the attention of the World Health Organization. Concerning the large number of abnormal pneumonia cases in  China, the organisation asked for current reports. A Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED) statement on undiagnosed pneumonia cases in children is requested from the China Health Department.

According to the latest reports, the virus originated in northern China and then spread Nationwide. Most of the severe pneumonia cases are recorded in Beijing, the country’s capital, Beijing. However, the viral outbreak has reached northeastern Liaoning province and other areas in China. 

China New Virsus: Current Reports

This week, WHO issued a report, “According to China’s health department, known pathogens, such as influenza virus, adenoviruses, and RSV, cause the pneumonia outbreak”. It is associated with mild symptoms such as sneezing, wheezing, and coughing.

However, the most severe cases are associated with “Mycoplasma pneumoniae”, a bacterial virus causing lethal pneumonia. The bacterium infects the mucus lining of the lungs and causes difficulty breathing. Oftentimes, it is called ‘walking pneumonia’. The symptoms usually last for a few days and cause mild discomfort. 

Benjamin Cowling, an epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong, said that the surge of illness was not“shocking”. “This is a typical ‘winter surge’ in acute respiratory infections,”. It is happening slightly earlier this year, perhaps because of increased population susceptibility to respiratory infections resulting from three years of COVID measures.” He added.

Symptoms Of The Virus

The Chinese healthcare professionals said that “Years of isolation have weakened the immune system”. Children in growth years and under-development are more prone to the virus. Though, it is causing only mild pneumonia-like symptoms, proper sanitation and preventive measures are necessary. 

Given that, here are some symptoms associated with China New Virus.

Fever

Lung inflammation without a cough

Pulmonary nodules, lumps on the lungs

Difficulty breathing

Lethargy

Chest Pain

India’s Response To The New Virus

If you are wondering, How is India Preparing for China New Virus? Let me tell you the country has “no-reported” cases yet. However, it is alarming and requires proper sanitization for prevention. States such as Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Uttarakhand are following proper COVID guidelines and imposing restrictions on travel to China. 

Conclusion

The “China New Virus” is causing respiratory illness in children nationwide. Known pathogens such as influenza virus, adenoviruses, and RSV are also responsible for causing the surge of hospitalization cases in China. While the disease is caused by “Mycoplasmic Pneumonea”, other viruses are also attacking children due to poor immunity.

Milk Gives Government A Headache As Prices Soar Ahead of 2024 Polls

The average retail price of milk in India has increased by 12% from a year ago to 57.15 rupees ($0.6962) a liter.

Milk is ubiquitous in India - from the morning glassful that most middle class school kids glug to its use in Hindu religious rituals. Now it could become a headache for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government as prices soar.

The average retail price of milk in India has increased by 12% from a year ago to 57.15 rupees ($0.6962) a liter. A mix of factors is at play - a jump in the cost of cereals has made cattle feed more expensive coupled with lower dairy yields as cows were inadequately fed due to the pandemic rupturing demand at the time.

In turn, milk - which has the second-largest weight in India's food basket - pushes up overall inflation as well. India's headline inflation for March fell below the central bank's target of 6% as high interest rates cooled overall demand, according to data released Wednesday. However, milk inflation trended higher than the overall figure at 9.31%.

High prices of milk and related products - emotive items that most poor families aspire to and wealthier people see as indicators of status - have the potential of becoming a political risk for Modi's government ahead of national elections next summer.

"This trend of higher milk prices is problematic, since it is a highly price elastic product and has a direct impact on consumption," said R.S. Sodhi, president of the Indian Dairy Association.

For now, the demand-supply mismatch has helped a rally among dairy stocks in India as analysts expect this situation can help organized players expand their share of overall market in India.

However, Sodhi said the balance sheet of dairy companies may eventually come under stress as the cost of procurement is rising. One factor is the increase in the prices of cereals and rice bran, ingredients used in animal feed, which is discouraging farmers from feeding their cattle sufficiently and is reflecting in milk prices that have risen 12%-15% during winter months, he said.

Unseasonal rain and heat waves have also contributed to this jump in feed prices. Cereal inflation came in at 15.27% for March 2023.

But trouble was brewing even before prices of cattle feed began to rise.

When the coronavirus pandemic hit and India introduced one of the world's strictest lockdowns, demand for milk and milk products dipped as many restaurants and sweet shops were forced to shut down either temporarily or permanently.

India accounts for almost a quarter of the world's milk supplies, but those massive volumes are produced in large part by tens of millions of small farmers who maintain modest numbers of animals. The drop in demand meant they were unable to feed their livestock well.

"A cow has to be fed irrespective of whatever quantity of milk it is giving and this is a pressure point for the producer," said Jayen Mehta, who heads India's largest dairy cooperative, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, which owns the iconic Amul brand.

And while the South Asian nation consumes the bulk of the milk it produces, exports have also been rising, especially once the global virus disruption eased and demand for milk products picked up across the the world. India exported dairy products worth about $391.59 million in the 2021-22 fiscal year compared to $321.96 million in the year before that.

"In terms of the outlook for this year, we believe that milk prices will continue to increase, since there is a shortage of milk heading into the peak demand season," Madhavi Arora, economist at Emkay Global wrote in a report this month.

Demand for ice cream and yogurt jumps as summer temperatures soar. That's followed by the season of Hindu festivals, which starts around September - milk-based sweets are a holiday staple - and carries on for the next few months.

While Modi revamped a food program to make monthly rice and wheat rations free for about 800 million Indians, higher prices of other kitchen staples add to the pressure on his government to do more to help citizens cope with the rising costs of living. That's crucial as he prepares to seek reelection next year in a country that has by far the largest number of poor people worldwide.

"It's an issue that affects ordinary people rightly," said Neerja Chowdhury, a New Delhi-based political columnist. "But whether it becomes a poll issue depends on the opposition, how effectively they can use it and make it into a right issue that make people vote in a particular way."

Analysts expect Modi to win as the opposition remains in disarray. But the government may still have to do some heavy-lifting to beat back price pressures, given the Reserve Bank of India has already paused monetary tightening amid mounting growth risks.

While economists expect overall inflation to ease going ahead, things are not looking up for this staple. India's central bank last week said that prices of milk may continue to be firm going into the summer season due to tight demand-supply balance and fodder cost pressures.

Amul's Mehta describes it as walking a tight rope. On one hand, it is about limiting the impact of inflation on consumers for an essential item, while simultaneously ensuring producers get a fair price to encourage them to continue producing milk, he said.

For now, even middle class families are tweaking their milk consumption. Ruchika Thakur, a lawyer and a parent to a five-year-old, says cutting down on milk purchases is not an option so she's started buying cheaper options to tackle the surge in cost.

"I think twice before making that extra cup of coffee," she said, adding that there is no room for buying more, especially for a family of eight who consume three liters of milk each day.

A fresh instance of the XBB 1.5 strain has apparently been found in Uttarakhand. Before three instances were found in Gujarat, one case each was found in Karnataka, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan.

The XBB.1.5 strain is connected to the Omicron XBB variant, a recombinant of the Omicron BA.2.10.1 and BA.2.75 subvariants. Together, XBB and XBB.1.5 account for 44% of cases in the US.

The XBB 1.5 strain is responsible for the Covid-19 cases in the United States, but the INSACOG data has revealed that nine cases of the BF.7 strain, which is suspected to be responsible for the coronavirus outbreak in China, have been found.

Cricket: Expanded IPL returns to India with COVID curbs - Al Jazeera English

Galaxy of top names and two new franchises expand the world’s richest cricket competition to 10 teams for its 15th edition. The Indian Premier League returns for its biggest season on Saturday, with a galaxy of top names and two new franchises expanding the world’s richest cricket competition to 10 teams for its 15th edition. But crowds in the cricket-crazy nation will, initially at least, be limited to 25 percent capacity with group games restricted to four venues – one in Pune and three in Mumbai. The venues for the three playoff matches and the May 29 final are yet to be announced. International T20 greats such as Australia’s David Warner and England’s Jos Buttler will be back for two months of high-octane cricket, but fellow Englishman Ben Stokes and West Indies veteran big-hitter Chris Gayle are big names who will be missing. The teams will be divided into two groups of five, based on their previous IPL records, for a 70-match regular season that promises to be the first completed entirely in India since 2019 because of the coronavirus pandemic. “This season is going to be with crowds and we are hoping to have full capacity soon,” Arun Dhumal, treasurer of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), told AFP news agency. “The new teams bring a lot of excitement and after the player auction, in a way, all the teams are new. There is a lot of new blood and we are hoping that it will be exciting for the players and the fans.” The 10 teams splurged $75m to buy 204 players in last month’s auction with Mumbai Indians bringing back Ishan Kishan for a whopping $2m. England batter Liam Livingstone was the most expensive overseas player, costing the Punjab Kings $1.52m to bolster their bid for a first IPL title. The two new teams, set up at a combined cost of a staggering $1.6bn, are Gujarat Titans, owned by United States venture capital fund CVC, and Lucknow Super Giants, backed by Indian tycoon Sanjiv Goenka. The Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians have been the most successful IPL team, winning a record five titles in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. Chennai Super Kings, led by veteran former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, are the defending champions and will open the season against Kolkata Knight Riders, owned by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. The two-month extravaganza will see 74 matches in all with teams coached by some of cricket’s former greats including Australians Ricky Ponting and Tom Moody, Stephen Fleming of New Zealand and Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka. Debutants Gujarat Titans have snapped up highly-rated spinner Rashid Khan of Afghanistan, but the explosive pace of England’s Jofra Archer may not be on display for Mumbai Indians after he missed the Ashes in Australia with an elbow injury. Of the home superstars, Virat Kohli will be under pressure after stepping down as captain of India and enduring, by his lofty standards, a lean spell with the bat having not scored an international century since November 2019. Having tried and failed to win the IPL title for nine seasons as skipper of Royal Challengers Bangalore, “King Kohli” has also stepped aside with South Africa’s Faf du Plessis taking charge. “(Kohli) doesn’t look that confident but he also needs a bit of luck. I am sure you will enjoy the same Virat, batting very freely, very dominating,” Vijay Lokapally, a veteran journalist and a Kohli biographer, told AFP. “And it’s good if we expect him to excel every time, it speaks for the respect he has in the cricket world.” The tournament began in India in April last year but had to be suspended at the halfway point a month later as COVID-19 infections surged across the country. It eventually resumed in September in the United Arab Emirates, with Chennai Super Kings beating Kolkata Knight Riders in the final on October 15 in Dubai. The pandemic also forced the IPL to be played in the UAE in 2020. Follow Al Jazeera English: source Read the full article
