So one of the biggest environmental polluters on the planet is worried about thier repiratory problems huh? Interesting…
I’m sure that’s a contributing factor to rapid disease spread there too. If you don’t have a healthy respiratory system you’re more susceptible to respiratory infections.
Combine that with cramped spaces and subpar sanitation and you’ve got a pandemic factory.
The disease can quickly spread do to the close quarters and a larger number of people are susceptible to it due to respiratory damage from pollution, then the disease can quickly evolve to be extremely infectious.
The problems of pollution and disease are not mutually exclusive.you are now banned from lemmy.ml
Does a comment like that actually get you banned?
Depending on your luck, yes
There? In the blink of an eye! Commies are all about censorship and gate keeping. Its the only way their broken mindset can spread.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
SHANGHAI, Dec 1 (Reuters) - A request by the World Health Organization for more information on a surge in respiratory illnesses and clusters of pneumonia in children in China has attracted global attention.
The rise in respiratory illnesses comes as China braces for its first full winter season since it lifted strict COVID-19 restrictions in December last year.
The spike in illness came into the spotlight when the WHO asked China for more information last week, citing a report by the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED) on clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children.
WHO China told Reuters in an email that “Chinese health authorities advised that the current numbers they are observing is not greater than the peak in the most recent cold season prior to the COVID-19 pandemic”.
Rajib Dasgupta, an epidemiologist and professor of community health at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, told Reuters in some cases there may be serious complications from infection caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae, but most people will recover without antibiotics.
“The cases that we are seeing is nothing unusual at the moment, because it’s still the same cough, colds, fever presentation, and the good thing about it is that it’s actually treatable,” said Cecille Brion, head of the pediatrics department at Raffles Medical Group Beijing.

Two months ago I come back from china with pneumonia. But it was easy to recover, my doctor prescribed a generic antibiotic and it went away in a few days
