As ProMED has reported, “first thing in the morning, the Beijing Children’s Hospital It was still packed with parents and children whose children had pneumonia and came to seek treatment. A Beijing citizen said: “Many, many are hospitalized. They don’t cough and have no symptoms. They just have a high fever and many develop lung nodules.”
The situation in the Liaoning Provinceas ProMED indicates, is also serious: “The lobby of the Dalian Children’s Hospital is full of sick children who receive intravenous drips. There are also queues of patients at traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and central hospitals. A staff member at Dalian Central Hospital said: “Patients have to wait in line for 2 hours, and we are all in the emergency department and there are no general outpatient clinics.”
The conclusion reached by the report is that there is “a widespread outbreak of a undiagnosed respiratory disease in several areas of China, since Beijing y Liaoning They are almost 800 km away.” According to ProMED, it is not at all clear when the outbreak began, as they see it as unusual that so many children were affected so quickly.” On the other hand, it is also detailed that “no adult has been affected, which suggests some exposure in schools.”
