China has reported an increase in respiratory illnesses as it enters its first full flu season since lifting Covid restrictions. The WHO says the spike is caused by known pathogens, and does not pose a global threat.
The article puts the “overwhelmed” statement in auotes but doesn’t attribute it to anyone, & later in the article states > the rise in respiratory illnesses has not resulted in patient loads that exceed hospital capacities.
Passing on misleading/clickbait headlines should be discouraged IMO.

With the outbreak of pneumonia in China, children’s hospitals in Beijing, Liaoning and other places were overwhelmed with sick children, and schools and classes were on the verge of suspension. Parents questioned whether the authorities were covering up the epidemic.
In the early morning, Beijing Children’s Hospital was still overcrowded with parents and children whose children had pneumonia and came to seek treatment. Mr. [W], a Beijing citizen: “Many, many are hospitalized. They don’t cough and have no symptoms. They just have a high temperature (fever) and many develop pulmonary nodules.”
