Kazakhstan: Chinese officials warn of new 'unknown pneumonia' that is deadlier than coronavirus
By Jessie Yeung, Philip Wang and Martin Goillandeau, CNN 1 day ago
CNN logoKazakhstan: Chinese officials warn of new 'unknown pneumonia' that is deadlier than coronavirus A new "unknown pneumonia" that is potentially deadlier than the novel coronavirus has reportedly killed more than 1,700 people this year in the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan, according to a warning issued by Chinese officials Thursday.
"Kazakhstani Health Department and other agencies are conducting comparative research and have not defined the nature of the pneumonia virus," said the Chinese Embassy in Kazakhstan in a statement to its citizens there.
New cases of the unidentified pneumonia have been increasing significantly since mid-June across the country, said the embassy, adding that in some places, authorities are reporting hundreds of new cases a day.
The rise has so far been concentrated in the regions of Atyrau, Aktobe and Shymkent, which together have almost 500 new cases and more than 30 critically ill patients, said the embassy statement, citing local media.
The disease has killed 1,772 people this year, some of whom were Chinese citizens, according to the embassy. 628 of those deaths took place in June alone. "This disease is much deadlier than Covid-19," said the statement.
The number of pneumonia cases in the capital city Nursultan has more than doubled this June from the same time last year, according to Kazakhstan's prominent news agency Kazinform, which cited official data.
"Up to 200 people are admitted to hospitals every day. Over the last few days, some 300 people diagnosed with pneumonia were taken to hospitals a day. Besides some receive treatment at home," said the head of the Nursultan healthcare department, Kazinform reported.
The Chinese embassy warned residents in the region to limit how much they went outside, and to avoid crowded public areas. It also encouraged preventative measures like wearing a mask, disinfecting spaces, washing hands frequently, and allowing good air circulation in indoor spaces.
CNN has been unable to independently verify the Chinese Embassy report and has reached out to Kazakhstan's Ministry of Healthcare for further details.
The warning comes as Kazakhstan continues to battle a rise in Covid-19, which has infected 53,021 people and killed 264 people so far, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Nursultan Nazarbayev, the high-profile first president of Kazakhstan and current chairman of the country's Security Council, tested positive for Covid-19 last month.
Authorities implemented a second round of restrictions nationwide on July 5, in response to a dramatic surge in cases. Under these restrictions, international flights are grounded and inter-state road transportation is suspended, reported Chinese state-run media Xinhua. Cultural spaces, sports facilities, cinemas and salons are still closed, with the majority of government employees working from home.
There is now increasing demand for medical staff, hospital beds and emergency supplies, according to Xinhua, citing the country's health minister. If the situation deteriorates, officials warn they could tighten restrictions further.

Well, guess it's really time to bug out, eh?
Only a matter of time before it hits US shores and we are all in double lockdown mode for both Covid and now this 'novel' Kazakhstan virus.
Amazing how we can identify and distinguish viruses from one another. There's so god damn many, we are super genius when it comes to viruses. Way better than mother nature and we can control them with mask.

"An estimated 10 nonillion (10 to the 31st power) individual viruses exist on our planet—enough to assign one to every star in the universe 100 million times over."
-------------------- The Italian researchers’ findings, published by the INT’s scientific magazine Tumori Journal, show 11.6% of 959 healthy volunteers enrolled in a lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020 had developed coronavirus antibodies well before February. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-italy-timing-idUSKBN27V0KF This online first version has been peer-reviewed, accepted and edited, but not formatted and finalized with corrections from authors and proofreaders https://www.icandecide.org/

Maybe a mutation or the media playing on our fears. This was too leaked from a lab? Kinda like the movie the 12 monkeys

Again viruses spring up in Asia all the time.
Coronavirus is deadly, in all forms and strains including colds, mostly because of pneumonia. It's not surprising that a virus that specifically causes pneumonia is more deadly.
And again the air and water quality in that part of the world is often atrocious.

What is it like to be so paranoid you can’t even make rational decisions about protecting your own health?
And you’re the one who posted this thread. Kinda like your endless scary black people fear porn.

Eh the majority of those viruses are all found in seawater with genetic material both incapable of infecting anything we know of and also completely unique- you don't find any of that genetic code in viruses that are established within human populations, or any animal or bacterial populations. Many of these viruses we have no clue what they do, what microorganism they infect or how they reproduce.
A drop of seawater contains some 10 million virus particles.
Kind of crazy to think about that- makes you wonder where on the evolutionary scale viruses came into play and what roll they had in the evolution of life altogether.

The sheer mass of mosaic viruses is stunning. Kilograms of virus particles can be harvested from a large greenhouse.
