On January 5, on the hot search list in mainland China, the positivity rate of influenza virus increased rapidly across the country and influenza-overwhelmed tertiary-level hospitals were all listed. In addition, influenza viruses, human metonymovirus and rhinovirus are prevalent at the same time, and many tertiary hospitals in mainland China are overwhelmed The number of outpatient and emergency visits has increased significantly, and medical resources are tight. According to multiple mainland media reports, the influenza virus positivity rate across the country is showing an upward trend. Especially in places like Beijing, the number of influenza virus infections is expected to peak in early January. According to the latest surveillance data from the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the overall trend of acute respiratory infectious diseases continues to rise, especially the positivity rate of influenza viruses has increased rapidly. The main positivity pathogens detected in the outpatient and emergency departments of sentinel hospitals included influenza virus, human metonymovirus, and rhinovirus. Among hospitalized severe acute respiratory infection cases, the main positivity pathogens were influenza virus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, and human metonymovirus. According to information released at the Winter and Spring Infectious Disease Prevention and Control video conference held by the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, respiratory infectious disease infections are currently on the rise, with a higher proportion of infections from pathogens such as influenza virus, human metonymovirus, and mycoplasma pneumoniae. The influenza virus, with its strong variability and rapid spread, spreads rapidly among the population, leading to a surge in patients with symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle aches and fatigue. Recently, tertiary hospitals in many places in China have experienced overcrowding due to the high incidence of influenza, which has led to a surge in the number of patients in pediatric and fever clinics. Here are some regions and hospitals. The emergency department, infectious disease department and fever clinic area of the children's hospital affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing were overcrowded, and the infusion room was packed. The call system in the outpatient and emergency infusion area showed that there were a large number of children waiting in line. Central China, Zhang Yi, director of the infectious disease department of a tertiary hospital, said that the number of outpatients has increased significantly in a short period of time, increasing five times compared with the number of patients in early December. Yi Guijing, deputy chief physician of pediatrics at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, mentioned that in recent outpatient cases, the number of children with rhinovirus infection has increased significantly, and the number of outpatient cases has increased significantly.

The average number of emergency department visits per day exceeds 10,000, and hospitals are overcrowded. On social media, netizens also expressed their opinions. Some netizens said, the influenza epidemic is so serious, hospitals should strengthen prevention and control measures to ensure the safety of patients. Xiaotong, a Big V blogger, said that the influenza virus has been so aggressive recently, and there are high incidences of influenza in many places. What a headache! Experts say that more than 99% of the influenza viruses currently circulating are influenza A. Influenza A spreads very quickly and is generally spread through droplets. When someone sneezes or coughs, the virus is released. If it spreads in crowded places, such as schools and shopping malls, it will spread like wildfire. When talking about how to prevent and treat the disease, he said that first of all, it is best to wear a mask when going out, and to wash hands frequently. If you are infected with influenza A and have severe symptoms, such as high fever and difficulty breathing, please do not delay and go to the hospital quickly. On Jan. 2, the 52nd Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report of the China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2024 showed that among the influenza virus-positive specimens detected in the southern and northern provinces, type AH1N1 influenza counts for 99.6%. Starting from the 48th week, Nov. 25, 2024 to Dec. 1, 2024, the total proportion of influenza-like influenza A, AH1N1, cases in southern and northern provinces has reached more than 99%. On Jan. 3, Hu Yan, chief physician of the respiratory department of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, told Chinese media that it is worth noting the proportion of severe pneumonia caused by influenza this year is slightly higher than in previous years. Compared with the common cold, influenza A has more obvious systemic symptoms, such as significant aches, high fever, fatigue, headache and loss of appetite. A netizen commented that the number of people infected with the pandemic has increased sharply, but the CCP is still trying its best to cover it up. Since the first outbreak of the COVID-19 virus at the end of 2019, the pandemic has experienced ups and downs and continues to spread. Although CCP officials have repeatedly given the virus different names for more than five years to cover up the pandemic, the plague has never really stopped or gone. The so-called mycoplasma pneumonia, influenza, syncytial virus and new coronavirus have all broken out rapidly. Many children's hospitals across the country are overcrowded, and cases of white lung and deaths have been reported. Among them, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenyang and other places are particularly serious, and it can be said that it is difficult to find a bed. Some children have died. However, the CCP has tried its best to conceal the true nature of the pandemic and continues to suppress the truth.
