Medical News: Despite claims by many agencies including the WHO and the U.S.CDC and so called ‘experts’ that the so-called ‘mysterious pneumonia’ that seems to be spreading fast globally and currently wreaking havoc in China, Netherlands and Demark with manifestations of ‘white lungs’ on X-rays is not caused by any new pathogens and that the public should not be worried as it is typically a normal seasonal phenomena after every few years…the caseloads, the fast spread and now deaths arising due to it is of great concern to many and it is sometimes ridiculous to see so called experts using terms like ‘normal’, ‘nothing to be worried about etc when people are actually dying!
Some so-called ‘experts’ are claiming that bacteria Mycoplasma Pneumoniae are behind this ‘mysterious pneumonia’ surge but mycoplasma pneumonia is often a secondary opportunistic infection arising in an individual who has an immunocompromised condition due to an existing viral infection such as HIV or due to other diseased conditions including cancer. To make things more complicated, laboratory diagnostics have shown that some infected with the ‘mysterious white lung pneumonia’ in China, Denmark, Netherlands and Ohio are not showing the presence of the mycoplasma pneumoniae!
It is really amazing that in this present time, with advances in medical diagnostics and technology, the scientific community is not able to pinpoint what is actually causing this surge of this walking pneumonia phenomena and validate it with proper laboratory findings. Instead, we are hearing about multiple respiratory pathogens at play including the RSV virus, we are hearing about “immunity debt” and also about SARS-CoV-2 induced ‘immune dysfunction’ etc.
While some
Medical News and mainstream news media and health authorities are reporting that the phenomena is only incurring in children, this is not true as adults are also getting infected with this so called ‘mysterious pneumonia.’
The disease is not only wreaking havoc in China, Denmark and Netherlands but is also affecting various countries in the South-East Asian region and also in the East Asia region with even South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc seeing a rise of such infections.
In America, besides Ohio, the surge has started in Massachusetts and is expected to spread to other states.

In Europe, reports are coming in that the mysterious pneumonia disease has now emerge in the UK, France and even Italy.

We also received news that the ‘white lungs’ infections are also in Romania but we could not as yet validate if this is true or not.
However, what is concerning is that early emerging preliminary data from researchers in China are indicating that many exposed to this ‘white lung disease’ are developing accelerated fibrosis of the lungs, heart and liver as a post sequela! (a preprint of this is expected mid next week.)
There are speculations that new hybrids of BA.2.86 and XBB sub-lineages are at play or that new reassortant strains involving SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens are Involved and are not detectable by existing ATK test kits or by existing PCR protocols. With very low genomic surveillance, this would not come as a surprise.
Hopefully we should get a clearer and definite picture by early next week s to what is driving this new worrisome ‘mysterious white lung pneumonia’ surge globally.
