A New Pandemic? Five Years After Covid, China's Hospitals Are Overwhelmed With A Mysterious Virus

China is facing an outbreak of the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in several cities, and hospitals are overwhelmed with patients. The HMPV is most likely to infect children, the immunocompromised and the elderly. It can manifest as symptoms of the common cold, including cough, fever, congestion and wheezing.
