It Comes Back To China, Peak in November/China's Ghost Festival arrives, and so does the virus

[Music] before the flood waters fully receded in mainland China the epidemic returned on August 19th China's national Bureau of Disease Control and prevention said that the new Mutant strain of coid 19 eg5 has formed a dominant epidemic in most provinces growing from 0.6% in April to 71.6% in August authorities say this trend is likely to continue for some time recently neisens from all over China have been posting reports that people around them have been infected with sanong which means the third time being infected with the new Corona virus this two days it feels like the number of patients is going up there are many many patients usually we have about 20 to 30 but in the past 2 days it has been close to 140 to 150 doctors have been working very hard it seems to me that at least every hospital in Shanghai has a lot of patients in their fever clinics yesterday I met all Doctor Who communicated with me after work he told me a patient from pushi came to P because our hospital was in p the doctor was curious and asked him why he came from P to P because there were many hospitals near his home the patient said that he called around to ask which hospitals had fewer patients in their fever clinics so that he could avoid the rush and he ended up telling us that ours was considered to be the one with fewer patients which is ridiculous anyhow it seems to suggest that it is not just us who have a lot more patients but every hospital is experiencing a search talk following the floods many victims in northern China including some who had lost their homes and are still living outdoors and Tents are reportedly infected by the outbreak now I'm in a community hospital in h City I'll see it again a community City Hospital it is not a big hospital or a Central Hospital the number one Hospital the traditional Chinese hospital or anything like that it is not the first or second tier hospitals it is just a community hospital I see that a lot of people come here with the children to see the doctor and adults too doctors are all hands on deck I feel that the third wave of coid 19 or S has begun some are already infected and some have already been spreading it that is family members have it and then spread it to other people I don't feel optimistic this winter everyone be prepared and protect yourself against this epidemic look I'm wearing this mask again to go out my sister told me that after the flooding in halong Jan Province sang was everywhere she had a high fever of 38 Celsius or 100.4 Fahrenheit our outdoor friends have been affected for the third time too they said they felt very sick that's why I started wearing the mask again two days ago I saw a video that in Shanghai there were many sang patients in outpatient clinics people say that after big disaster an epidemic will usually follow after this flood there will be a search in the epidemic but now I don't know what to make of the experts some hospitals mentioned a virus of G5 or something I don't know the professional term but this virus would cause s in a large number of people s has started again recently friends when you go to the hospital or crowded places it's recommended to wear a mask I just came back from B two days ago right when I got back I had been sniffing and sneezing for the past two days I thought I caught a code and I researched online it said that in Beijing 70% of the people are experiencing sang getting infected for the third time I have been infected two times I'm afraid it's going to be my third time the return of the epidemic in China has caused hospitals to be overcrowded many young children have shown symptoms like high fever white lungs difficulty breathing and a loss of appetite it's like the symptoms of coid 19 however hospitals no longer call it coid 19 but refer to it as micoplasma pneumonia instead many people suspect the authorities are covering up the outbreak by changing the name of the [Music] virus this is the shuo Children's Hospital at 9:00 a.m. it's packed we finally got home my daughter has been sick for almost a week it was a very serious lung infection at the beginning it was just a common fever after I gave her some medicine her fever went down and she was completely fine but the next day she started to have a recurring fever that wouldn't go away with medicine she would be good for 3 or 4 hours but after the medicine worn off she would have repeated fever coughing shortness of breath the doctor checked her blood which was negative and then listen to her luns we were told they were okay and we could go home just keep an eye on her but when we got home she had high fevers again the next evening we had to take her to the emergency and insisted on a c scan to have her blood checked it turned out she had a very serious pneumonia and her cough was serious she was getting shorter breath had no appetite and her lips started to turn a little purple in the early morning we rushed to have her admitted to the hospital the hallways were full of children with this kind of pneumonia and had no appetite they can only eat a little bit the child in the next bed didn't eat a drink for two days this virus was too much after 3 days of injection my daughter finally got a little better and slept better with less cough at night a reminder if you have a child with weak immunity pay attention to the symptoms if a kid has high fevers that won't go down shortness of breath or cough go to see the doctor right away we haven't been discharged from the hospital yet during the day we go to the hospital for injections return home at night and go back the next day now the child's spirit is slowly getting better people from the next hospital bed said that if the adult's immunity wasn't good he or she would get infected too so it hasn't been smooth lately let's watch out for it greetings I haven't seen everyone for a while recently our family of three experienced S Young being infected with coid for the third time A lot of people are concerned about the symptoms of sang let me tell you if there are elderly people and children in the family you have to be especially careful as sang is even more serious than being infected for the second time it has all the symptoms of her y plus swelling soreness in the [Music] throat following my son's thirdd infection the symptoms are a bit more serious than the two previous infections because his throat was sore and he couldn't eat anything even though he wanted to he could only cry plus he had a bad fever too at the beginning of 2023 the CCP downgraded ated its management of coid 19 only adopting measures meant for class B infectious diseases quarantine measures are no longer practiced outpatient clinics don't test for coid 19 close contacts are no longer assessed no more designation of high and lowrisk areas in asymptomatic and Mild cases are advised to stay home since there is no data on the outbreak there is no way to report a Resurgence of the epidemic there were no treatment manuals for eg5 and Ed cases so doctors can only advise people to wear masks the doctor said that you got Co but there was no special good solution and there was no need to quarantine that is to say between family members just wear a mask and be cautious there is no special or effective medicine you have to fight it yourself hospitals don't seem to be treating it anymore now I am waiting for the results of the blood tests since the hospital doesn't treat Co anymore what's the point of having a fever Clinic we were sent from the emergency department quite far away from here to the fever Clinic that doctor I just saw was funny he dismissed me in two or three minutes I said I just wanted to know if it was coid so I could watch for it guess what the doctor said he said that even if he were confirmed the hospital wouldn't treat it just go home and wait there's no effective treatment or medicine nowadays just drink more water and wear a mask at home between family members and there is no quarantine don't you find this overly simple if that's the case I'm confused what's the point of having a fever clinic at the hospital with a whole bunch of Staff here many of us were sent here but now the hospital doesn't treat it how do you make sense of this even at the emergency rooms of the hospitals they can at least treat common C now sang cases have begun to rise that is being infected for the third time I used to talk a lot about being infected for the second time but now a lot of people have begun to say that they got sanang you can read the comments section or online forums many people in the hospitals have begun to get sanong because Co 19 has mutated again and it's mutated into eg5 which should be a mutation of xbb I am Vigilant about this because I have a bad trachea I've been watching out for the second infection but now it's about being infected for the third time sang I think sanyang is a state where you may get well quickly after symptoms appear but it becomes a vicious cycle your immunity or immune antibodies have begun to drop after each infection it'll start taking less time for one to get infected normally one want to be infected again within 6 months after the first infection but now everyone is saying they are infected for the third time it means people's immune system has weakened so everyone needs to pay attention to it how can you say that the virus has left I am surrounded by several friends who are infected for the third time now some are older some younger there is no difference in being affected although the symptoms might be different some are mild and some severe depending on the person's physique people used to get scared with the mention of Co 19 as last year now people aren't as scared and there was a level of Tolerance in their minds still people need to stay vigilant for the virus people don't think it's that serious anymore but it's not necessarily true everyone's symptoms are different especially if you have elderly members in the family be extra cautious now people don't wear masks when they go out and they don't have the same level of protection as they used to think about it everyone when we first got infected it was about 6 months ago it wasn't that long ago or rather the virus has never left us at all at the end of April 20203 the Centers for Disease Control and prevention in China published a study it's estimated that between December 2022 and February 2023 more than 82% of the people in China were infected with coid 19 the current primary strain found in China eg5 is the Omicron xbb series variant the infection has increased from 0.2% in February to 83.6% in early May symptoms include fever cough headache sore throat nasal congestion body aches and weakness on the social media platform do Yin the Chinese version of Tik Tok several posts about the arrival of the third wave of Co 19 have been spreading for example this video says that a 56-year-old Mr jaia was hospitalized after suffering an accus cerebral infraction his daughter and son-in-law came back from out of town to visit the next night Mr Jiao developed a fever with a temperature of 38.2 de C or 10.76 F his wife who was looking after him in the hospital also felt dizzy and feverish with a temperature of 38° C or 10.4 F his daughter and son-in-law also had a fever and fatigue at the same time the doctor advised the family of four to to take a nucleic acid test they all tested positive and it was the third time for them to get infected the department immediately organized disinfection and placed Mr Jiao in a single room for quarantine care the third wave of infection was triggered by the mutated strain eg5 of the new Corona virus and it seems real the percentage of infections is on the rise in many places and the number of patients in Fever clinics is gradually increasing the department immediately organized staff to disinfect the room and put Mr J in a single room for quarantine treatment the new Corona virus mutant strin eg5 has set off a third wave of infections the third wave is really here the percentage of infections is on the rise in many places and the number of fever out patients is gradually increasing according to a report by voice of America on August 25th 23 a newly released study by a leading us Research Institute shows that in early December 2022 the Chinese government abruptly lifted its stringent anti-epidemic lockdown measures without warning or Preparation as a result the 1.4 billion
