A deadly virus that few people even know exists is causing misery across intensive care units and pediatric hospitals, doctors warn.
High rates of Covid, flu and even RSV during winter led to hospitals overflowing in a phenomenon dubbed a ‘tripledemic’.
But cases of human metapneumovirus (HMPV), which can cause bronchitis and pneumonia, shot up to record levels in spring, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s respiratory virus surveillance systems.
It may partly explain why so many people tested negative for flu and Covid in recent months despite showing symptoms.
Dr John Williams, a pediatrician at the University of Pittsburgh who has spent his career researching vaccines and treatments for HMPV, said it was ‘the most important virus you’ve never heard of’.
These “never heard of ” diseases are being brought in here by the illegals. Since we never heard of it, we don;t know how to treat itl.
