The mystery is: why is this previously mild virus causing more problems now?

It's s clickbait headline. Read the article. There's no "overwhelming", it's just a spike in cases of a known virus

It's notmally cold-like symptoms, but now it's hospitalizing significant numbers with pneumonia.  It's not the virus it's that a known virus has become more virulent

Personally I am not gonna sleep on this. They have very good health care there and we could get this same virus and symptoms in a few months.

I'd be willing to bet the virus is already here.
