The data showed an increase in hospital admissions of children due to diseases including bacterial infection, RSV, influenza and common cold viruses since October.
Leading scientists said the situation warranted close monitoring, but were not convinced the spike signalled the start of a new global outbreak.

The standard wording of the alert echoed the first-ever notice about what would become COVID-19, sent on December 30, 2019: “Undiagnosed pneumonia — China (Hubei).”

There is no novel disease.
Its Covid. Covid is now endemic and newer mutations are targeting youth.
That’s interesting I read that it was Mycoplasma pneumoniae, not a new pathogen but a report says it’s resistant to a new antibiotic.

The concealment of covid data that began about a year ago to hide the truth.
Yes of course China covered up COVID, however I believe that this actually probably is M. Pneumoniae as it’s famous for spreading in schools amongst children as well as already resistant to many antibiotics because it has no cell wall.
My one concern is that this could secretly be a human to human form of avian influenza, but there is absolutely no hiding a disease with a mortality rate on par with Ebola (30-50% or 18-30%- as much as Spanish Flu or the black death) for very long at all. COVID has around a 1% mortality rate and there were people posting videos of people dying in the streets on Chinese social media, if it’s avian flue than there will be mass graves on an unheard of scale.
So you agree.
Masks and social distancing saves lives from not only covid, but from a series of other similar pathogens.
Yes masking is essential.
