International Mysterious pneumonia outbreak leaves China's hospitals overwhelmed

time to build a dome around china.
You know im only partially joking.

I thought Pneumonia just meant the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, so it could be caused something that is infectious but the pneumonia itself isn't infectious.

Like how coughing isn't itself infectious but could be a symptom of a cold, which is.

Not a good look for China, eek.

Pneumonia is inflammation of lungs tissue.
Usually it is dry process.
Might be " wet " process too.
Pleuritis too might be dry or wet type. " wet " type does have liquid between pleura and lung ....

it was flagged in their system as an influx people showing with the same symptom in quick succession. they still have to determine why

We have some kind of respiratory illness spreading in NS currently. Many with viral Pneumonia. Its not pretty

Having lived there I'd imagine the grotesque smog is probably an issue but hey that's just one man's opinion.

Pneumonia isn't contagious is it? At least I didn't think so but happy to educated on that if I'm an asshat. My dad got it after his 114th covid shot and there was no talk of my mother having to isolate from him in case she caught it.

Pneumonia is not contagious, but it’s generally caused by a viral or bacterial infection, which obviously can be contagious.

Same down here in Ohio. My wife and I have had a lingering cough for weeks now, but otherwise aren't sick. Our daughter brought it home and was fine 3 days later of course.

They had way worse lockdowns, so the RSV and Flu rebounds are going to be horrible.

 

[SummerStriker]

Also, remember that we get a horrible plague by nature every 100 years or so. Last was the Spanish Flu, which sucked. COVID doesn't count because it was man made, so we are still due for a naturally occuring one. Hopefully it is a bat corona virus and we're already guns out for it.

I believe priminary findings are calling it the COVID-2024 (trump is winning) variant.

If the agent responsible for the pneumonia is communicable, then the patient’s pneumonia is by definition a contagious (and infectious) disease.

Can someone give pneumonia to another person?

Can someone give pneumonia to another person?

Yes, in the same way someone transmits any infectious disease (Covid-19, flu, common cold) to another person. The disease is transmitted from one host to another through microorganisms, making it communicable. With pneumonia, sometimes the causative agent is transmissible and other times it isn’t.

China reports no ‘unusual or novel pathogens’ after WHO seeks data on respiratory illness outbreak​

Karen Gilchrist @_KARENGILCHRIST

• The World Health Organization said Thursday that Beijing had responded to its request for data and said that no unusual or novel pathogens have been detected.
• China has been facing a surge in respiratory infections such as influenza and clusters of pneumonia among children, with hospitals reporting being “overwhelmed.”
• The WHO said that the surge was likely linked to the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions as China experiences its first full winter season since declaring an end to the pandemic in December.

Chinese authorities reportedly called for vigilance Friday as a spike in respiratory illness continues to pile pressure on health care facilities in the north of the country, despite assurances that no “unusual or novel pathogens” have been detected.

The World Health Organization said Thursday that Beijing had responded to its request for data following reports of “clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children’s hospitals in Beijing, Liaoning and other places in China.” Chinese health authorities said no changes in disease presentation had been reported, according to the WHO.

China has been facing a surge in respiratory infections such as influenza and clusters of pneumonia among children, with hospitals particularly in northern China reporting that they are “overwhelmed” with patients.

The WHO said that the surge was likely linked to the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions as China experiences its first full winter season since declaring an end to the pandemic in December.

The U.N. health body said that current data suggests that the pathogens are currently behaving in typical ways that are treatable with existing antibiotics, but added that China should reinforce measures to limit the spread of the disease including via vaccines and mask-wearing.

It also said it does not recommend any specific measures for travelers to China and advised against the application of any travel or trade restrictions at this time.

China’s State Council said in an update Friday that influenza cases, which have surged since October, would likely peak this winter and spring, according to Reuters. However, it added that pneumonia infections, which have been rising since May, could persist further into the future.

It said that local authorities should “strengthen information reporting on infectious diseases to ensure information is reported in a timely and accurate manner.”

Both China and the WHO have come under scrutiny over their reporting of the earliest Covid-19 cases in 2020.

The WHO said that it will continue to monitor the current outbreak in China and that it is working with international partners to assess the emerging information.

The U.K. Health Security Agency said in a statement Friday that it was important to “keep an open mind” about new outbreaks.

It follows a surge in Strep A infections among children in the U.K. in 2022, which the health agency attributed to a change in social mixing patterns.

Is there a pneumonia virus or bacteria? Or is the pneumonia condition (I.e. infection of the lungs) always caused by another virus or bacteria, in which case the pneumonia itself is not what’s transmitted but rather the underlying infection causing it?
