Mystery pneumonia tears through schools in China with 'many, many hospitalized' - in eerie echo of early days of Covid
- Hospitals in Beijing and Liaoning are 'overwhelmed with sick children'
- Students and teachers have been struck down, with some classes canceled
Hospitals in Beijing and 500 miles northeast in Liaoning are among those 'overwhelmed with sick children,' while school classes were 'on the verge of suspension', according to local news reports.
The children are presenting with unusual symptoms that include inflammation in the lungs and a high fever - but no cough or other symptoms usually associated with flu, RSV and other respiratory illnesses.
The alert was issued late on Tuesday via ProMed - a large, publicly available global surveillance system that monitors infectious diseases.
It was a ProMed notification back in December 2019 that brought a mystery virus, later given the name of Covid, to the attention of many doctors and scientists, including officials at the World Health Organization.
