Nantong: A new video from China is making waves. It shows a hospital packed with kids hooked up to IVs. Parents look worried and exhausted. This chaos is due to a flu-like virus called HMPV that’s been spreading like wildfire.
The footage, shared on Douyin, shows a man filming the scene and mentioning how influenza A is rampant in the area. You can see kids sitting on benches, not even on beds, some dozing off while their parents try to comfort them.
People on social media are really concerned. They’re sharing their own experiences with strange symptoms that sound a lot like COVID-19. One person mentioned losing their sense of taste and smell after taking Tamiflu for days.
Another shared their struggle with a mysterious cough that keeps them up at night. It’s clear that many are feeling pretty rough, with reports of body aches and fevers. Some have even switched hospitals looking for better care.
With kids being more vulnerable, one parent asked for prayers for their baby who’s battling the flu. The Chinese health authorities are warning that the elderly and those with health issues should be extra cautious.
This HMPV virus can lead to serious problems like pneumonia and bronchitis. It’s definitely a tough time for many families in China right now.
