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).”

Covid has forever tainted China in the eyes of the world in this aspect- few will ever believe them when they say that there’s no novel disease.

You were around when this happened. For gods sake it was all happening live in front of everyone a couple of years ago.
It’s literally impossible for you to actually be this ignorant about it.
I understand trolling, I get the propaganda hype, I get brain rot; but this, this is just plain ignorant.
That is entirely not untrue. This is pure anti-china propaganda that is very easily verifiable.
The earliest examples of COVID were found by Zhang Jixian and the hospital alerted in 27th of December. This was communicated to the WHO the 31st of December after a larger amount of cases were identified (Source: official WHO publication). The timeline is abundantly clear
There are some traces of COVID that date back to November 2019 in China, but that is also true in Europe so that’s hardly a proof of Chinese maliciousness.
We were told lies about how China didn’t warn us because our politicians – I’m saying that as an European but that’s true of the US as well – ostensibly refused to hear China’s warnings for weeks before we started seeing cases skyrocket. So their choice was to either take responsibility, or blame someone else. China is both the origin country of the disease and a political enemy, so it was the easiest target.

I call dibs on the toilet paper this time
There is no novel illness in Ba Sing Se
In much the same way, I wonder if Chinese scientists and other non-party-officers were actually trying to warn the rest of us back in 2020, by all stating the same exact party line loudly and often. Kind of a cross-cultural accident as we’re not used to the subtleties of living there?
China why do you have to be like this

If China would be more open about this stuff everyone would be a lot less worried
To me, nothing has quite damaged China’s reputation more in recent years than how they handled Covid. Yes, I’m aware of the human rights abuses, Hong Kong and all of that. There’s not an excuse to not be fully transparent and absolutely accommodating and helpful to your fellow nations in the face of a global pandemic. This major L for China’s standing in the global community.

Absolutely. I can’t blame them for COVID happening. It was one of the most unique situations of our lives, and it’s not like most Western governments did a good job either.
But not cooperating with a thorough investigation into the cause, and taking action to stop it from ever happening again? Being cagey about a possible novel bug? It’s like they’ve purposely chosen to handle this in the least diplomatic way possible.
If you believe anything China says you’re a goddamn moron
So we’re doing this again, are we
Three times the charm!
To quote the blurb in the post that apparently no one read:

Oh boi here we go again 💀
Remind yourself that there are people even in normal countries defending ch*nas communism, policies and culture. That shithole has to be plugged off from the rest of the world by any means necessary, no one in, no one out
