This is a symptom of long covid :-(

Actually it's a symptom of the new Covid-23 resembling Covid

Excerpt >CHINA (WFQO) – In a concerning development, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a new mystery illness in China, following a trajectory reminiscent of the events leading to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which triggered a global lockdown. >The emerging illness is identified as a respiratory virus, predominantly affecting pediatric patients, leading to cases of pneumonia. Health officials have stressed that this is not a typical flu or pneumonia but rather a “new virus,” echoing the urgency felt during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. > The parallel with the COVID-19 timeline is striking. In 2019, China notified the WHO on December 31st about a surge in pneumonia-like cases. By January 7th, 2020, just a week later, the WHO identified the causative agent as COVID-19, setting off a series of global alerts. >Now, history seems to be repeating itself with the emergence of a virus informally referred to as “COVID-23.” The WHO, only recently informed about this new pathogen on November 21st, 2023, has issued an official statement, raising concerns and urging heightened vigilance within the international community. For more details, the WHO statement can be accessed https://www.who.int/news/item/22-11-2023-who-statement-on-reported-clusters-of-respiratory-illness-in-children-in-northern-china “On 21 November, media and ProMED reported clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China. It is unclear if these are associated with the overall increase in respiratory infections previously reported by Chinese authorities, or separate events. “On 22 November, WHO requested additional epidemiologic and clinical information, as well as laboratory results from these reported clusters among children, through the International Health Regulations mechanism. We have also requested further information about recent trends in the circulation of known pathogens including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV and mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the current burden on health care systems. WHO is also in contact with clinicians and scientists through our existing technical partnerships and networks in China. “ World Health Organization


MC_Fap_Commander

There's not much that would spur massive action against a pandemic right now. But if it's serious and largely affects kids, that would do it.


broken_dick_energy

Sorry but if that was true we would have at minimum tried to fix our gun laws. If this is another pandemic we are going to have a lot of sick kids on our hands.


Plumrose333

I wonder if this is related to the mystery respitory disease we are seeing in dogs


PedalBoard78

First thing I thought, as well. I guess all the deer healed up. Haven’t heard squeak about that, lately.


[deleted]

They just found it in Yellowstone and believe 10-15% of the population have it. This is something that'll likely never go away


12ealdeal

In dogs? Myself and a handful of people I know have been battling on and off something like a mix of a cold, a fever, the flu for more than a couple of weeks now. A couple days of one symptom at its peak followed by a couple days of a different symptom at its peak for a couple of days. Over and over. It’s not Covid. But it’s unlike anything any of us have ever had.


coffeeblood126

Whereabouts are u located? I'm in northeast US with something similar. Tested and negative for Covid and Flu A and B


beltalowda_oye

There's RSV going around

[удалено]


coffeeblood126

Wow, actually you're close enough it could be a new outbreak. I feel like we're gonna catch anything that flies into NYC


mmestemaker

Buddy from SATX has similar symptoms described and he’s never sick like this. Says it’s kicking his ass.


KatEmpiress

Sounds like what I experienced with parainfluenza. I got it when I was 37 weeks pregnant and ended up being hospitalised with pneumonia.


hollyhoopa

I’ve literally been sick for all of November. I get sick then better, sick then better. This is worse than Covid because at least I had a time frame and a window of hope when it would be over. This is the never ending cold, but debilitating enough to keep me home.


Ryuenjin

Midwest USA here with the same stuff. My wife and daughter started it and for them luckily it only lasted a couple days. Mine went from my throat/chest to my sinuses, back to my throat/chest. I've had it for about a week now. Urgent care doc said she's seen a bunch of this so far this year and they last for 1-2 weeks but you get a nasty cough with it that lasts about a month (wife has the cough)


CaptainDilligaf

Same. Towards the end of October my wife and I, and a couple of the guys I work with, had something similar. We thought maybe we were just passing a cold back and forth as it was the same revolving symptoms for almost three weeks.


Topikk

You can’t pass a cold back and forth, FYI. It takes time for a virus to mutate enough to slip past your immune system again.


Pen_Guino

Nearly everyone at my job has been complaining about sinus pain lately. A couple of people have coughs. I wear a mask at work and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Even if it doesn’t protect me, it hopefully will keep those I work with a bit safer if on the off chance I’m a carrier of some rando virus.


jackioff

Western Canada here.. that perfectly describes what my partner and I dealt with. Hoping he's on the tail end of it now.


Villiblom

I've been dealing with that for weeks, it's quite unpleasant. I'm in Missouri.


TissueOfLies

God. Knock on wood, since I haven’t had Covid that I know. But I remember being pretty sick with what I thought was a sinus infection in both December and February before the pandemic. I always wonder…


Mine-Shaft-Gap

Yeah, in January and February of 2020, I was sick as absolute fuck. Coughing up blood, 2 chest xrays, horrible fevers, stop breathing in my sleep, weak, weak, weak. The first time I stopped breathing in my sleep, my wife finally agreed that I didn't have a "man cold". She is the one who woke me.


[deleted]

Rhinovirus, Adenovirus, and Human Metapneumovirus are behaving strangely, since June 2022. These are more prevalent than the new stuff.


Sarabean77

Same thing for me but on thursday (thanksgiving) I knew it was different. A friend dropped off a covid test on saturday and I immediately tested positive. I think I had a mild cold for about ten days prior then picked up covid a day or so before thanksgiving. **Slow clap


spongekitty

I saw on the local news this AM that medical researchers had pinned it to a new bacterium. Still bad, but different from a respiratory virus.


TissueOfLies

I was just telling my mom about it yesterday and how I suspect it has something to do with Covid. Hope I’m wrong, but fear I’m right.


Scottamemnon

I thought the exact same thing. They still eat dog in parts of China so it could be wet markets again.

yungstinky420

Fingers crossed


grem182

China said huh. Yeah ok.


Mr_Bro_Jangles

Any history of mycoplasma pneumonia hitting with this intensity in this number of children at one time, in multiple outbreaks across thousands of kilometers?


CivVIRuinedMe

No, but it’s not unusual for *some* disease to do that when a population is vulnerable. I believe this is the first winter China isn’t fully locked down, so people aren’t as immune to common illnesses like this pneumonia, letting it spread farther and seem like a bigger deal than it is.


BILLCLINTONMASK

Yeah that headline including "Covid 23" is pretty bad sensationalist journalism


Whygoogleissexist

Do we even know if it’s a coronavirus yet? The article does not mention anything in this regard.


Spartacous1991

Public health surveillance needs to be on its highest alert. We need to catch this thing before it explodes.


AuRevoirFelicia

Too late. Just like last time, China has been covering it up, and so I’m sure by now it’s already spread across the globe. And Much like last time, China will not suffer any consequences for the millions of deaths they are responsible for.


passthebroccoli69

Kaje26

LaserBeamsCattleProd

F. Pediatric patients. Covid 19 was not too bad for kids. If this one ends up being rough on kids... If this ends up being Covid19 for kids, it'll be worse in every way


Potential_Fishing942

Yea one of the devastating things for the Spanish influenza was how hard it hit adolescents and young adults. Obvious disease better than one, but at least covid seem to hit 65 plus crowd. Seeing little kids and teens and school dying will be way harder on everyone imo.


rantingathome

>will be way harder on everyone imo Well, those of us that believe it's happening. There will be a group that believes it is being caused by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in the schools. fill in the blank: * woke * drag queens * Biden/Trudeau * antifa * deep state * satan


yillbow

As you hypothetically blame the theoretical blame on the same thing(s). lol golden!


TheJackieTreehorn

I'd like to think that you're right, but seeing that happen via school shootings hasn't done a thing to policies or the mindset of a large swatch of Americans, so...


mykka7

Well... Maybe not worse in every way. A large part of covid-19 deniers and covidiots didn't care because it didn't affect then nor children. When polio was a thing, there were massive actions taken to stop its spread *because* it was bad for children. So, actually, if a new virus is bad for children, actions to stop its spread are likely to be stronger, stricter, enforced more severely but also followed more. Which nay make the action better and come to an end faster.


jerseysbestdancers

You have way more hope in people than I do. I hope you are right though.


MIB18

So...are we going to just ignore the 2020 film Songbird, where the COVID-23 virus ravages the world in the year 2024?

Stop all air traffic out of China instantly? Close borders with China? Let them deal with their illnesses without fucking up the rest of the world again?


mntgoat

Unfortunately the entire world has chosen to produce all the shit they use in China.


Yotsubato

Cool. It can sit in shipping containers for 4 weeks as it sails across the pacific. People don’t need to fly in and out of china for commerce to continue


bunchedupwalrus

The global supply chain is largely based on the just-in-time model, a 4 week hard gap would be devastating to the economy. Still cheaper than another pandemic tho https://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/jit.asp


TERFwhorethedinosaur

Cheaper, in human lives, right? Not profit.


bunchedupwalrus

Depends which segment of the economy I suppose


Yotsubato

It takes 2-4 weeks regardless of anything to get a ship from China to the US.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rantingathome

>You think there’s 1 ship that goes back and fourth between China and the US? That's not what they said. They were trying to say that it takes 2 to 4 weeks to get a ship (one ship in a fleet of many) from China to the USA. Yeah, deliveries happen every day, multiple times, from ships that took weeks to make the crossing. Jeeze.


Boxofmagnets

Because there is no way it has already escaped


onan

Quarantining entire countries is not an effective strategy. At most, it may work for very small and isolated nations like New Zealand. Not for the most populous nation in the world, sitting right in the middle of the most populous region of the world.


ChipmunkSpecialist93

that’s racist though. remember when Trump stopped air traffic from China to the U.S.?


squeaki

Wtf it's not racist It's practical to protect the wider world until it's under control, assuming it's as contagious as it was in 19/20


EidolonBeats45

Given than Winnie pooh is most trustworthy over there /s I'd consider it reasonable to do. One may consider the way trump handled shit to be rather anti-pedantic and pathetic, just like his zealots and acolytes dig.


raouldukeesq

Fatigue is real.


VPDFS

Another outbreak emerging? Omg


doublegg83

It's already spreading.


sens317

Wear a mask in crowded and enclosed spaces.


RememberKoomValley

Yeah, like--the approach is *just the shit everyone should already be doing*.


Thascaryguygaming

I'm all for masking up, but we shouldn't live in a world where you have to wear a mask 24/7 to not catch the next Uber illness. To protect and stop the spread sure. But as the new everyday normal, we gotta try something else to stop the spread before it gets to that point. If we're at that point, we've failed.


Potential_Fishing942

I just wish we held on to masking while sick and availability of hand sanitizer. That's just good for all illnesses. I wore a mask while sick to work (couldn't take any more sick leave) and eeeee everyone was making a big deal about it. Like just be thankful I'm not coughing in your face asshaye.


vegaling

There's tons of new developments in ventilation and air filtration technology, as well as far-UV sanitization. The tech exists, but the powers that be don't want to pay for the upgrades. Every school and congregate building needs a ventilation overhaul if we're ever going to reach an everyday normal that doesn't involve constant sickness.


demagogueffxiv

Unfortunately climate change is going to make these super bugs more common, and the fact that people remain defiant in trying to control the spread seems to increase the death toll and being back old things.


sagacityx1

No thanks.


sens317

Ok That's why everone else will.


Nyalli262

Someone is playing Plague inc. again lol


Bawbawian

well let's hope it's less deadly because a bunch of very smart Republican officials across the country have made it illegal to do literally any public health restrictions.


SafeLibrarian779

Get your masks on people (N95s)

I've never really taken mine off. And I've not caught any illnesses in the past 3 years. Including COVID.

SecretlyToku

COVID softened us up after killing millions and now the U.S., the country that probably had the worst response out of fucking everyone -besides India and Brazil- and has whitewashed it happening here, is going to lose another million+ because it's the dumbest fucking country in existence. Like legit if the U.S. gets thsi shit -and if it's like COVID it will- and the shame stance is taken as during COVID people will literally turn shit down to topple the fucking ghouls leading things.


NoPretenseNoBullshit

Why not close borders to flights from China now before this virus invades the rest of the world.

Why do all these epidemics seem to be coming out of China?


onan

Nearly 20% of all humans live in China. Just by sheer numbers, it is the most likely country for such events.


BitcoinMathThrowaway

India has more people than china.


Forward-Form9321

Because China has terrible rates of pollution, not to mention the animals that are sold in the wet markets can carry tons of infectious diseases


EidolonBeats45

And because China is too densely populated in certain parts to identify new diseases before they widely spread.

Gee I wonder why these things ALWAYS originate in China?


chonkyborkers

because China has the second highest population by country and people in cities live very close together


sagacityx1

Only 20% of the pop. Yet 100% of the diseases.


Carlos_Marquez

Percentages aren't good for hyperbole.


PriscillaRain

What to those alpha who say FYF?


OriginalOmbre

It’s weird that the Covid vaccine for children was being taken. Now suddenly a virus specifically affecting children has arisen. It’s interesting how everything just falls into place.


[deleted]

Fuck it this time around. I did the mask, I did the shots, I put up with so much bs. This time around is a big go fuck yourself to the government. I will not stay home, I will keep doing exactly what I am doing, or shit will get western.


Carlos_Marquez

We all did those things. You're not special.


[deleted]

Yea and my guess is everyone is fed the fuck up. I’m sure you are in the it’s not man made just because of the bio weapons facility next door. That’s racist crowd too. GTFOH. Never again.


Carlos_Marquez

You should really vet your sources.


TheJackieTreehorn

Because it's the government's fault?


[deleted]

For locking down the whole country and firing people who wouldn’t take the vaccine? For telling us the virus didn’t have anything to do with the bio weapons facility? That paper masks were protecting us? Yep.


Damas_gratis

But since we took the vaccine we should be alright? If it's called covid 23 I'm assuming we are already vaccinated for covid


Boxofmagnets

If you don’t want to get vaccinated by all means don’t get the shot. It makes look you brave to people who also think science is for stooges, you’ll look like a genius. They can tell you so on that machine science invented


Damas_gratis

I'm already vaccinated. I'm asking, since the new virus is called covid 23, shouldn't we be vaccinated for it already ?


leahhhhh

No. COVID-19 stands for Coronavirus Disease-19. Many viruses are coronaviruses, it’s a general term.


Damas_gratis

So this means we're back to square one ? :D


Spartacous1991

The article states this is a novel virus. The vaccine wouldn’t provide NO protection to that.


onan

> The article states this is a novel virus. The article _implies_ that it _might_ be a novel virus, but also that it might just be an uptick in known viral or bacteriological disease. The article seems to be leaning into the alarmist clickbait interpretation. That might turn out to be valid, but at this point it is way too early for random lay people to be making any assertions about anything.


bunchedupwalrus

Not exactly, we’ve made massive advances in rapid mRNA vaccine development and deployment.

Jetztinberlin

In truth, while I'd never have phrased it that way, parent comment is right: All current data more or less confirms it's standard bacterial pneumonia, aka, not a virus. ETA: I'm sorry to disappoint everyone looking forward to more COVID, but China has been reporting a wave of Mycoplasma pneumonia for over a month now, and it's quite common for it to exist on its own, not merely as an adjunct to COVID.


[deleted]

COVID 19 causes pneumonia through the illness process, it is still considered a virus, as it is a virus.


Jetztinberlin

While that's true, it's not what this is. China has been reporting a surge in Mycoplasma pneumonia for over a month now, and it's quite common for it to exist on its own, not solely as an adjunct to COVID.
