2/n Problem is secrecy of the Chinese govt. Reportedly, forbidden to mention new covid strains there; illness is reported as flu or bacterial Mycoplasma pneumonia. So this new wave could be H1N1 flu, or a different flu (e.g. H3N3), or a new strain of covid, or something else.
@COVID19_disease Nutritional deficiencies are what is found in those who suffer from these diseases. Eat real food & take your vitamins! Practice good oral & body hygiene, as well as diligent hand-washing. Taking care of yourself goes a long way & makes one less vulnerable!
As of January 2, 2025, there are no credible reports indicating that China has declared a state of emergency due to an epidemic overwhelming hospitals and crematoriums. However, in late 2023, China experienced a significant increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children in northern regions. This surge was attributed to known pathogens such as influenza, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2, following the relaxation of stringent COVID-19 measures. 
In response, China’s National Disease Control and Prevention Administration initiated a pilot monitoring system for pneumonia of unknown origin to enhance early detection and response capabilities. This initiative aims to establish efficient procedures for laboratories to report and for agencies to verify and manage cases. 
The World Health Organization (WHO) has been monitoring the situation and has requested detailed information from China regarding the surge in respiratory illnesses. Chinese health authorities have stated that no unusual or novel pathogens have been detected, attributing the increase to known respiratory viruses. 
It’s important to note that while there has been an uptick in respiratory infections, there is no official declaration of a state of emergency in China related to this situation. Health authorities continue to monitor and manage the situation through enhanced surveillance and public health measures.
Students are being killed in Bangladesh, and many are injured for protesting the job quotas being imposed by the government. SOLIDARITY WITH THE PROTESTORS! Victory to the students!
This week I have met many talented 🇧🇩students - and next week we will gather all 🇧🇩Erasmus scholars before they head to 🇪🇺 for their studies. All friends and partners of 🇧🇩want to see a quick resolution of the present situation and the avoidance of further violence and bloodshed.

#Bangladesh: @volker_turk urges authorities to engage w/ student protesters. All acts of violence & use of force, esp. resulting in loss of life, must be investigated & perpetrators held to account. Freedom of expression & peaceful assembly are fundamental human rights
Bangladeshi authorities have used unlawful force against student protesters and failed to ensure their protection during the ongoing ‘Bangla-Blockade’ quota-reform protest across the country.

The Friends of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. hearing this sad news about Matthew Perry was a devastated one. The world has lost an icon who made people laugh even though he was in pain. You've been a good inspiration to everyone. You will forever be missed. Not matthew perry
#matthewperry
I just saw someone saying “not matthew perry, chandler Bing was my friend when I didn’t feel like I have any” and that sums it up perfectly.
You made me laugh when i needed it the most,
Friends was my comfort on those dark days
But Chandler you were everything......
Matthew Perry’s passing is shocking and saddening. I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved – and you will be missed.
