We were infected on Wednesday and started to have fever in the middle of the night. I went for a full blood test yesterday, and the x-ray showed no pneumonia, weak positive, but white blood cells it's extremely low. Now the doctor directly recommends that I be admitted to the Xia hematology department. It's really a disaster to encounter this kind of ghost virus. A primary school parent in Jianan district said as early as December 27, we had online classes for three days this week. A parent in Hanyang district, Wuhan said on the same day that his child had to be quarantined for 21 days due to chicken pox infection, and the whole class could only return to school after 21 days of online classes.

More than a dozen children in the class called in sick. Some parents said on the 27th, when I sent my children to school in the morning, I found that there were almost no people at the school gate. After entering the class, I found that there were 45 children in the class, and 25 of them had already collapsed. Basically, they had fever, influenza. The infection speed is very fast. If the situation develops like this, a large number of schools and classes may be closed. A Wuhan parent complained that he had been infected for almost a month. On December 2, I went to the hospital for a CT scan and blood test. I am still coughing today. I don't know what kind of virus it is. A parent from Hongshan District, Wuhan, said, of the 50 people in our class, we have asked for nearly 20 days off, but most of them were for vomiting. I asked my children to wear masks to school every day. My son even wore a mask during the school skipping competition. On the 27th, someone in the Wuhan parent group said, today, the teacher urgently asked parents in the group to clean up because there was a lot of vomit in the class.

I really want to report it. She also said that most of the students had fevers and the tests showed that they were infected with influenza A. Another parent in Donghu High-Tech Zone also confirmed, my daughter's class said half of the students took leave, but they didn't even get a break. Wuhan netizen Bayer also confirmed, 15 of our class didn't come, and the teacher even said in the group that we should try not to ask for leave. I'm dizzy. A mother whose child was hospitalized in Wuhan posted on January 2nd, what kind of virus is this wave in Wuhan? All major hospitals are overcrowded, and beds are hard to find. All influenza A and B have been ruled out. High fevers, hoarseness, and flow. Tears, sore throat, and COVID-19 are also ruled out. She also said that the doctors said it was syncytial virus. Even the National Health Commission sent a text message to remind them of prevention and control. Originally, the hospitalization was for treatment and recovery, but the menacing virus swept through the entire ward. She warned, so don't run to the hospital if there's no major problem. The hospital is the place where the source of infection is the most serious. A parent questioned in the comment area on December 31st that there are currently so many viruses in order to avoid mentioning the new coronavirus. He said, the word new coronavirus is hot for them and must be changed to influenza, viral cold, etc. A parent from Hubei responded that he understood everything in his heart. Another Hubei parent also agreed, yes, I think it is the new coronavirus, and the doctor made it clear that injections are useless and only prescribed a box of medicine. If you have a fever, you will have to deal with it. You will vomit after eating. Some netizens from Guangdong also responded, you can't talk about the new coronavirus. I told the people around me that they despised me and thought that there was no new coronavirus, but it was just a virus. I was overthinking it. My son may be the only one in my son's class who wears a mask when going to school. Netizens in Shanxi also said, it's just that the new coronavirus has a different name. A Hubei netizen said that he did not even need to take a test to get positive. I will never forget the uncomfortable feeling when I was positive. These days, I feel half as uncomfortable as I did then. Mr. Wang from Hunan also asked, have you found adult metonymovirus now? The reporter also asked a mainland pediatrician this question before, why when patients and hospital doctors from all over the country talk about the pandemic, the new coronavirus is rarely mentioned, but the names of various viruses that have rarely been heard before appear. The doctor said concisely and to the point, you can think of them as variants of COVID-19.
