Recently, a large number of patients with fever have appeared in many places in China, and hospitals are overcrowded. There is a long queue at Beijing Children's Hospital, and the number of emergency appointments per day is more than 1,000.

A large number of videos have been circulated on Chinese social platforms, showing that hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Wuhan, Sichuan and other places are overcrowded, with many patients with fever, and a surge in child patients. Some families are even infected by the whole family. The official said it was a pandemic of "A-type influenza".

According to Red Star News, recently, Ms. Kong's eldest son in Wuhan, Hubei, had symptoms of coughing and fever. After nebulization and taking medicine at home were ineffective, he went to Tongji Hospital's Pediatric Emergency Department on 23 December 2024.

"I registered at 2:20 pm, but I was not seen until 5:05." Ms. Kong said that the emergency department opened 4 clinics, the hall was overcrowded, and there was no place to sit. The doctor diagnosed that influenza could not be ruled out, and prescribed oseltamivir to take at home.

Ms. Yang's child in Beijing also had symptoms of coughing and fever. After taking medicine for three days at the community hospital, she still did not get better. She went to Wangjing Hospital for treatment on 23 December. When she came back that afternoon, her child had a high fever again. So she took her child to Huaxin Hospital again, but was told that the patients who had registered that afternoon had not yet been treated and needed to wait at least two to three hours.

Ms. Yang went to another hospital, but still could not get a number. It was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that she arrived at Beijing Children's Hospital and saw that it was more than 1,000 when she registered. After waiting for more than 3 hours, it was already 12 o'clock in the morning when she saw the doctor. The doctor diagnosed the child with influenza A and prescribed medicine.

Recently, hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places have been overcrowded, and the number of infections has surged. A large amount of information on mainland social platforms shows that many children have high fevers, white lungs, and even death.

Netizens from all over China are posting videos on social platforms. Hospitals in many places are overcrowded. At 12 o'clock in the evening, many hospitals still have long queues and the halls are full of people.

A netizen from Tianjin posted a video saying that the Tianjin Children's Hospital was full and the lobby was full of people.

A video showed that the Beijing Children's Hospital was overcrowded during working hours on Monday.

A netizen left a message in the comment area saying, "I went to (the children's hospital) at night, and there were still many people at 12 o'clock."

Hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei were also crowded with people. A netizen posted a video saying that his family was infected with "H1N1".

A video showed that there were still many patients waiting for treatment at Jiangsu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital at night. The netizen who filmed the video said, "I went to (the hospital) with my husband, and when I got home, I saw that I also had a fever."

On 9 January, the infusion room of the emergency department of Jintan Hospital of Shanghai First People's Hospital was full of people, including elderly, children, teenagers and adults, and more than 800 patients received infusions every day.

Ding Dongliang, deputy director of the emergency department of the hospital, said that the number of emergency visits began to increase since 20 December, and most patients had symptoms such as fever and high fever.

The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced on 2 January 2025 that acute respiratory infectious diseases are currently showing a continuous upward trend, mainly influenza viruses, human metapneumovirus (HMPV), rhinovirus, etc.

China is ravaging with multiple viruses, which has aroused the vigilance of the international community. On January 6, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that they and international partners are monitoring reports of an increase in "human metapneumovirus" cases in China.

Southeast Asian countries such as India, Malaysia, and Cambodia are also paying attention to the virus infection situation in China.

Lin Xiaoxu, a former virus researcher at the U.S. Army Research Institute, said that the international community is worried that the CCP will conceal the truth and cause a recurrence of the COVID-19 outbreak five years ago.
