Today’s most worrying news is coming from China, and you should also read to this news carefully. A new virus like Covid is spreading in many cities of China, which has once again scared the whole world. It is being claimed that this is a new mutation of the same virus which was first identified in the year 2001.
And let us tell you that this new virus is being known as HMPV. The symptoms of this virus are said to be seen in the provinces and cities of northern China.
But at this time all social media platforms are filled with news of increasing numbers of patients and deaths of people, but till now no one Is talking about this news, so what is the truth? Is HMPV as dangerous as it seems? Let us know about it in today’s article. How is the outbreak of this virus in China, and what are the symptoms of this virus?
HMPV outbreak in China
Many hospital in China are currently blocked due to the symptoms of this virus. But the number of patients has increased so much that there is no place to even stand around the hospital; the hospital is completely full. Currently, you all must have seen the pictures of this virus spreading from China on social media, due to which many people there have lost their lives.
Let us tell you that this is being reported on the social media and news channels there, but till now no confirmation has been given by the Chinese government regarding this incident, and the whole world is extremely shocked by this silence of their government. It is being speculated that, like Covid, China is trying to hide this new spreading virus from the whole world.
For your information, let us remind you once again that Covid infection was first seen in Wuhan City in China. But even after this incident, China tried to hide the news of this virus for several weeks.
The information about this virus was hidden from the whole world, and viruses like Covid spread to the whole world from Wuhan city itself, which China never accepted, and now it seems that China is going to do something similar with this virus too.
The kind of policy that China followed during the time of Covid—a similar policy is being seen being adopted by China during the time of this virus as well—that is, hiding this incident from the whole world. Before this virus, COVID-19 had taken over the whole country, which had started in China itself, but this fact was kept hidden from the whole world for a long time.
On 26 December, that is to say, last week, China’s disease control authority had reported that this infection has been found in many people living in the city of China. However, it remains unclear if an existing virus or a new one is causing this problem.
At this time, many people living in China are seen in hospitals wearing masks. People are being tested for infection of this virus in the same way as it was being done during the time of Covid.
How did China’s new virus reach Indian children?
For now, we will tell you how dangerous this virus that has spread in China can prove to be for you, because till around 8 PM tonight, three cases of infection related to this virus have been seen in India, which have been found in Karnataka and Ahmedabad city of Gujarat.
Of the two children who have been found to have the virus, one is a 3-month-old girl, and the other child is just 8 months old. Both the children are being treated at the same hospital in Bengaluru, and both are currently hospitalized.
The Karnataka health department says that the children and their parents have not been found to have any travel history in the investigation so far, and the government is fully prepared to prevent this virus.
That is to say, the virus was found in the two small children they had not gone out of the country; they had not travelled to any other country.
Like coronavirus, which is wreaking havoc in China, cases of HMPV virus have started increasing in India too. So far nine cases have been reported in the country; the ninth case was found in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Here, a 6-month-old girl was infected with HMPV. The girl has been found infected with the virus; she has been ill since January. She was admitted to the hospital due to cough, chest tightness, and her oxygen level dropping to 84.
What are HMPV virus symptoms
And from the information we have received so far and the statement we have read so far from the Chinese health official, at present this mysterious virus is known for five big things that are understood about this virus, and you should also read these things carefully.
- First Symptoms
First, like Covid, this virus can easily spread from human to human; that is to say, it can spread rapidly from human to human.
- Second Symptoms
Second, its symptoms are also similar to just like Covid-19. It causes coughing attacks, high fever, and breathing problems, and there is also a risk of lung infection.
- Third Symptoms
Thirdly, this virus is spreading more among younger children, and among them, the children who are more affected are those who are less than 5 years and this is what makes it different from Covid-19. And Covid-19 first affected older people.
- Fourth Symptoms
Fourthly, such people are more affected by this virus; those who already have asthma or other respiratory diseases may be at risk.
- Fifth Symptoms
Fifthly, the speed at which this virus spreads can be grater than that of Covid-19. And currently one COVID patient can infect an average of 8 to 10 people with this virus. And you must remember that when the covid period was going on, that is why people were told to go into isolation.
That if someone gets infected, then he should go to his home and not leave the house. Stay in a closed room and do not meet people at all. But this infection is spreading more rapidly than covid.
