China is back in a new chapter with the HMPV Virus

[Lucius]

I've read some say that HMPV isn't a new virus and has been there many years ago. It's crazy that this is on all timing, I remember when covid-19 was at height, there was also another virus that was reported trying to spread somewhere but then it eventually lost the attention of the media.

Here's a quote from the "health experts".

"Health experts have clarified that the HMPV is not a new virus; it was first identified in 2001 and it has been circulating in the entire world for many years," Indian Health Minister J. P. Nadda said Monday. "The health systems and surveillance networks of the country are vigilant and there is no reason to worry."

Every year in China, epidemics like this happen during the winter, and now someone wants to make a story about a virus that has been known for over 20 years and to which many people already have natural immunity. If a reasonable person looks back and takes a realistic look at the situation surrounding covid-19, he can conclude that this "disease" was exaggerated to incredible proportions with the obvious aim of testing how people will react if they start being treated like animals in a cage.

Covid has reportedly killed around 7 million people, but what they won't say is that the majority were mostly over 60 and that they didn't actually die from the virus, but with the virus. What I want to say is that this figure includes everyone who was found to be infected with the virus, even if the real cause of death was something completely different.

Unfortunately, the world will have to face something much more dangerous in the near future - and that threatens trade wars and claims over the territories of other countries.

I've read some say that HMPV isn't a new virus and has been there many years ago.

Coronavirus was also not a new virus, it was first found in 1920's.
It's the new variants that are problematic specially when the virus is "mutated" and becomes more damaging to the patient's body like the COVID19 variant was.

It is even more dangerous when there is human intervention in the mutation of the virus... like in a virus that is produced in a lab...

I don't want to believe on the mutation but that's the reality. The transfer from human to human and once it's contained inside someone's body, these viruses really are upgrading and mutating that gives different variants. While these viruses aren't really new and the constraints are becoming stronger, whether someone believes that these viruses won't be strong as the other one before, it all ends up of being prepared and avoiding to get contracted by any of it or with simple flu, take some rest and I'm paranoid if someone from my family got some cold and flu already.

There are too many issues that we have to bear with and even we're not from those sides of the world, we're about to get affected by all of those factors that you've mentioned. The climate change also does contribute to the mutation of these viruses that have been there many years ago and we can't do anything about that and like what they've said about covid-19, we will live together with it and that's why we need to strengthen our immune systems.

Personally I don't really care with any similar virus like corona where it's infectious by sneezing/contact with the illness and bad hygiene. It's because my lifestyle now was like lockdown during corona virus, I always wear mask every time I leave my home, bring hand sanitizer and wash my hand using soap.

It doesn't mean I will not get this disease, but my lifestyle will prevent infected by this virus.

It is not aware that the normalization of clothes like you will indeed make us much safer, after Covid Corona might be many people like you, doing things very clean to avoid viruses out there that endanger our lives and our families.

But unfortunately I do not, when Covid 19 I was not vaccinated and also did not do things that were recommended by the government such as using a mask using a hand sanitizer and so on, after all I am safe until now even though not a few of my neighbors were affected by the virus, so I might be different and more unconcerned with news like propaganda.

Everyone will continue to believe that any virus that appears to occur is related to Covid, which was attributed to China as if it was the one who created it and spread it in the world with pre-prepared specifications and characteristics. This can be included in the framework of the conspiracy theory, whose formulas and scenarios never end. Personally, I cannot confirm or deny whether the new virus is natural or prepared in a laboratory. However, I can confirm that dealing with it using scientific methods can lead to results that can help in reaching the origin of the disease. What is certain is that many doubts have become raised regarding everything that may appear new, considering the same position on the conspiracy theory. But this will make me doubt the entire scientific community and how it is ready for a conspiracy theory to become the prevailing idea on the basis of which we make analyses and conclusions.

[Nothingtodo]

The corona virus pandemic has created a lot of buzz around the world and the emergence of new viruses will definitely bring the world back into the spotlight as soon as the outbreak subsides. If the HMPV virus does become an outbreak, the world will once again experience a second lockdown.

[yhiaali3]

Fortunately, I have not heard of HMPV here in my country, I do not know how widespread it is in the rest of the world so far, but I hope that this news is just exaggerated.

We cannot rule out the fact that China may resort to such dirty means that can destroy humanity in its economic war with the United States, this dirty immoral war that major countries resort to to maintain their control, its first victim is the poor people who do not have sufficient means of protection to take the vaccine or the necessary medicines to eliminate the virus.

[pinggoki]

There are lots of deadly virus but I doubt we'll easily see a duplicate of covid just yet.  It spread so widely because it had no effect on some people yet they were carriers.  There are more deadly viruses known before and after covid so it wont be only one thing that makes it as impactful as covid turned out to be.

Unless there is a large volatile variance in the effects of the virus I wouldnt worry too much just yet, how easily it spreads etc.  of course anything air borne is bad enough to warn about.

There's also the thing that what could classify as a pandemic has to check a lot of the criteria before a consideration not to mention that HMPV might not even spread all throughout China or that it might not be as deadly as COVID was, we have to remain vigilant about this one because if people are talking about it, it's most likely that there's enough concern surrounding this matter that it's worth looking out for, the only thing that really concerns me about this virus is that it can be a really good way for people who spread disinformation to capitalize on it and make money by writing fake news and stories about it to incite fear and terror that a pandemic might be happening again.

Aside from the lack of vaccines, there was also just a lot of uncertainty regarding the virus and so the government did a lot of mistakes when it came to handling the people and their frustrations. They were also unprepared with facilities and equipment which made it a lot difficult to treat patients immediately.

Everything you mentioned was experienced during the first time the world faced a pandemic. Aside from the protocols that had to be followed, there was also the rush to prepare medicines and vaccines.

What I really don’t like about pandemics is how some corrupt people take advantage of the situation. Hospitals jacking up their rates, relief goods and government aid getting pocketed by officials - it’s disgusting. Instead of helping, they’re making money off people’s suffering. Honestly, these kinds of people deserve to rot in hell.

[DrBeer]

Heard about it and it's definitely getting exaggerated by the Chinese. A pandemic like COVID is an ultra rare event that probably comes around once every 200 years or even more based on my research.

on the Plus side, No recorded death yet so maybe a normal hmpv and not one made by Man.
I really don't want to imagine the collapse it would cause I'm this shaky economy.
It doesn't hurt to be cautious, countries can try increasing surveillance.

China is hiding the real situation and maybe they didn't disclose the number of cases yet.  This is not the first time they are hiding this kind of situation since we already experience this when they hide Covid to the world. They only release the information when there's already a outbreak happened that's why its better to prepare than doing nothing. Although they are denying about it, but I believe there's already emergency situation happened due to that virus spreading since there's some information leaked already.

I don't think this can shake the economy since provably that leaders know what to do and lot of them gain experience thru situation happen on last covid 19.

It is the principle of all totalitarian states to hide the inconvenient truth, and publish a mass of lies. Otherwise they cease to exist. I am more interested in something else - how long the Chinese experiments with viruses, which have already claimed millions of lives, will continue, and most importantly - what is the real purpose of these experiments? I realize that in today's situation to make China look “strong” there is only one way - to weaken the others. The status they have ascribed to themselves (the second pole of the world, with a hint that they replaced the rotten USSR) requires real strength, but China does not have it, and the problems are present and growing.
And a new pandemic looks logical for China:
- With decreasing production, China has a huge problem with a disgruntled population out of work, which is an internal tension that a totalitarian government doesn't need.
- economic problems in the west, in the wake of another pandemic, are guaranteed ! And this increases the likelihood of returning to supply and placing orders for the production of goods in China. So the only logical beneficiary is China.

Based on the background of the virus, we may be reminded of Covid 19 which also originated from China. I mean is this another commotion that they are trying to spread to continue to disrupt the world's economic conditions which are just starting to recover. Of course I am a bit skeptical because based on the Corona case, how paralyzed the economy is. The lower middle class is the target, and do you know which sector is the most profitable during Covid 19? hospital medical equipment.

I just want to know your opinion on the HMPV Virus issue, maybe you can share your opinion and also whether in some countries it has become a topic of discussion?

We don't know anything about this HMP virus.
I don't believe in the conspiracy theory, that China wants to spread a new global pandemic. The economy of China hasn't fully recovered from the last pandemic(and some US sanctions), why would the Chinese create another pandemic? This doesn't make any sense.
I really hope that this new virus won't be as deadly as the early stages of COVID-19 and it won't be as contagious as COVID-19.
A new pandemic would crash the global financial markets in the short term. Crypto prices would also drop severely.

[Lucius]

We don't know anything about this HMP virus.
~snip~

We know nothing except that the virus has been known for over 20 years and that information has already been shared in this thread - and if you don't read other people's posts then not only can you write something like this, but you continue to spread panic over something that is completely pointless.

Instead of focusing on how to find a cure for cancer, reduce deaths from heart disease, and ensure everyone has access to medicines, clean water, and enough food - we are dealing with a virus that will become an old story with the disappearance of winter.

[MArsland]

The corona virus pandemic has created a lot of buzz around the world and the emergence of new viruses will definitely bring the world back into the spotlight as soon as the outbreak subsides. If the HMPV virus does become an outbreak, the world will once again experience a second lockdown.

We are like in a training ground, every cycle of chaos is always there from generation to generation. It has been going on for a long time. The Corona virus disappears and then a new virus appears that seems to filter humans to reduce the population in the world that continues to be dense.

Fortunately, I have not heard of HMPV here in my country, I do not know how widespread it is in the rest of the world so far, but I hope that this news is just exaggerated.

We cannot rule out the fact that China may resort to such dirty means that can destroy humanity in its economic war with the United States, this dirty immoral war that major countries resort to to maintain their control, its first victim is the poor people who do not have sufficient means of protection to take the vaccine or the necessary medicines to eliminate the virus.

Hopefully this virus will not spread to other countries, especially Asia, which when Corona was the first country to feel the impact. Economic war will always take place in any way to disrupt world stability, making the 2 camps continue to clash with each other. China with the BRICS alliance against western hegemony.

Again?
Just as the economy was approaching normality, it was immediately hit by the latest issue about the virus people must be furious. After all Covid 19 has left many wounds for all of humanity without exception. Deaths that were not caused by Covid are still included in the list of victims. If you think about it, I myself have never followed the government's recommendations since this pandemic, I have never been vaccinated at all.

Regarding the economy, it will clearly be destroyed again if this new virus continues to surface. China has many ways to spread fear throughout the world because that was its goal from the start.
My advice don't be easily provoked by news like that, if you don't take it seriously then this news will slowly sink by itself because it doesn't get a response.

Again and more again,
I don't know why new virus always come from China will its manipulate to be greatest business in the future after success with Covid 19 how much medicine, vaccine sold by China around to the world. I follow with the new virus variants publishing by China government because my country government Indonesia have announce to public be careful with the HMPV Virus. Actually what ever kinds of virus have goals set by Chine government get more profitable with their business and already preparing what vaccine most effective to fight this virus and possibility distribute all countries around the world.

Due the the HMPV Virus come from China, better for awhile don't travel yet there how to avoid your self with that virus and become first people in your country become the victim of the HMPV Virus.

[Oluwa-btc]

I have come across this news somewhere, but didn't pay much attention.
I think this is probably another story to get the world's attention, because we've heard of some speculated cases of new viruses after the COVID incident, which is all coming from that same china. Besides, why must it be China?. Who awards the title for the country with the most number of viruses originated?.

I don't think all countries have fully recovered from covid-19 pandemic even though it is about 4years ago now. And now, there is already speculations of another one. Well, I don't know how severe it is, but I just hope it doesn't cause any damage. China should find ways to manage whatever is coming from their country, because I can't still figure out why something keeps originating from the same place over and over again.

Practically they've preserved and decided to launch the virus this year so they can hold down the world's population and attention all to themselves.I sincerely don't want to get carried away with this sudden panic concerning the Virus but it's probably not a good news to hear for the start of the year.The outbreak of this virus could lead to another lockdown and delay in the economical affairs of the world.

[el kaka22]

Basically there are many viruses around the world all the time, COVID was the one that locked us down in our houses so that's why we fear the word virus now, and that's why these type of news do grow more than it should, but viruses do happen everywhere.

I remember Ebola was a big thing too, but nothing happened and nothing came out of it, we didn't just got stuck in our homes because of it, tens of millions didn't die because of it neither. Covid was a huge deal, it was one in a hundred years type of deal, just because one virus did that, doesn't mean all of them will do it too. Of course be careful, take your precautions and all, but do not overblow it. I wore a mask when COVID was around, that was the responsible thing to do and I cared about others as much as I cared about myself and I did that, it's fine, but there are people who still wears them even today, that's a bit much, I mean sure if it makes you feel better then I can't just take it off you, but do not expect me to do it now too.

[SuperBitMan]

This new virus called HMPV will not affect us like covid-19 did because many countries have already known things to do to make sure they reduce it's spread and that's because of the covid-19 experience, for now every country should check anyone coming inside there country to be sure they don't have the HMPV virus if they fail to do a proper check up then the country will be in a serious attack.
If this virus spread the way COVID-19 did the world economy will be really affected and the only sector that will be functional is the medical sector however I still believe it won't spread the way COVID-19 did.
I really don't know if China is doing this on purpose in other to reduce there countries population or that of the world in general or to affect the world economy however I believe if this is the case some other countries will be aware of it, but we really can tell if truly there government are doing it on purpose, for now let's take prevent measure by hygiene practices which are frequent hand washing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, cleaning frequently touched surfaces and also covering coughs and sneezes and lastly avoid spreading the virus by staying home when sick, take permission from your work place don't put the live of other people in damage.

[X-ray]

if this virus gonna cause outbreak again like COVID-19, so many nation with fragile economy aren't gonna get spared. though I've read some article where there are expert saying that this virus not gonna be as big as covid because modern people are less vulnerable to this but nevertheless, it's still a concern.

inflation is so high already after COVID-19, really don't want to see everything getting even worse with this new virus, but I also know that media also like to make hyperbolic stories just for clicks.

The virus is not new it has been around for a very long time and have been dictated in different countries. I also thought that the virus was new until I did a search and saw that it has been here for decades. Most countries have not fully recovered from the effects of COVID-19 another pandemic will bring untold hardship to the people. My country has beefed up surveillance at entry points into the country to ensure that the virus is curtailed.

I really don't know if China is doing this on purpose in other to reduce there countries population or that of the world in general or to affect the world economy however I believe if this is the case some other countries will be aware of it, but we really can tell if truly there government are doing it on purpose, for now let's take prevent measure by hygiene practices which are frequent hand washing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, cleaning frequently touched surfaces and also covering coughs and sneezes and lastly avoid spreading the virus by staying home when sick, take permission from your work place don't put the live of other people in damage.

China needs more people because the population is shrinking fast. They have lifted the restrictions on childbirth and couples are given some incentives to have more children. Therefore, I am not sure that they will develop disease because they want to cut population. COVID-19 gave the Chinese economy a fatal blow, I don't think they will want to harm the economy any further.

[NotATether]

I think China and the CCP might have learned their lesson from attempting to deny that something like this is happening again, so my guess is that everyone is just shocked that this kind of epidemic is coming back.

But unfortunately I do not, when Covid 19 I was not vaccinated and also did not do things that were recommended by the government such as using a mask using a hand sanitizer and so on, after all I am safe until now even though not a few of my neighbors were affected by the virus, so I might be different and more unconcerned with news like propaganda.

You should use hand sanitizer though. Very good product, much better than soap. It didn't simply become popular during the pandemic.
