🚨The Chinese government has declared a state of emergency as an epidemic overwhelms hospitals and crematoriums.
Multiple viruses, including Influenza A, HMPV, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and COVID-19, are spreading rapidly across the country. Pediatric hospitals are particularly strained due to a surge in pneumonia cases and “white lung” symptoms.
The rise in infections has also led to an alarming increase in sudden deaths, predominantly affecting people aged 40 to 80. Funeral industry operators report crematoriums are operating beyond capacity, with some experiencing malfunctions or even explosions due to the sheer volume of bodies.
In rural areas like Hunan, many residents cannot afford medical care, leading to a spike in untreated conditions and fatalities. The Chinese CDC has confirmed a nationwide increase in acute respiratory infections, fueling widespread panic.
In response to the escalating epidemic, the government has declared a state of emergency to address the crisis.
