The wounds of the Corona virus epidemic have not yet dried that once again a new virus can engulf the entire world. These days, there is a stir due to a new virus in China, the birthplace of Corona. The elderly and children are most vulnerable to this new virus. Hospitals are full of patients. The situation is exactly like the Covid-19 epidemic. Its symptoms are also like Corona virus. The name of this new virus is Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), which is an RNA virus.
According to social media reports, this virus is spreading rapidly. Some people claim that crowds are being seen at the hospital and crematorium. Social media users are claiming the presence of several viruses including influenza A, HMPV, mycoplasma pneumonia and COVID-19. The HMPV virus spreading in China closely matches the symptoms of flu and COVID-19.
What China is hiding about human metapneumovirus
There has been no discussion so far regarding the danger of the epidemic. The situation in China is being described only in online social media. No reliable report has yet confirmed these posts. Chinese health officials and the World Health Organization have not issued any warning about any new epidemic. However, many people have also claimed that China is hiding the real situation. However, China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has already said that the risk of infection is higher in patients suffering from diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. An X handle named ‘SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)’ said that cases of multiple viruses including influenza A, HMPV, mycoplasma pneumonia and COVID-19 are increasing rapidly in China.

Symptoms of Human Metapneumovirus
The risk of spreading the virus through coughing and sneezing is high. If the effect of the virus is severe, it can also cause bronchitis and pneumonia. According to Reuters, China is also testing a surveillance system to deal with this. According to the CDC, its symptoms include cough, fever, nasal congestion and wheezing. The same symptoms are also seen in Corona virus.
It was identified for the first time in the year 2021
The HMPV virus was first identified in 2001. A Dutch researcher had detected this virus in samples of children suffering from respiratory disease. However, this virus has been present for the last 6 decades. This virus is present in the environment in all types of seasons, but the risk of its spread is highest in winter.
