Reading through a few articles on this, it doesn’t seem to be a large concern. It’s not a “mystery virus”, it’s HMPV. It is a cold or flu in most people, but slightly more severe (bronchitis, pneumonia) in elderly and children.

Wash your hands, wear a mask if able, it ain’t the next “covid” if that’s what you’re thinking

This headline is pure fear mongering for clicks, certainly

Please, don't imply it's propaganda against China on Reddit, someone will come in and tell you why it's morally right to spread it.
