Five years after Covid-19, China is facing a surge in cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a respiratory virus that causes flu-like symptoms. Social media posts and videos indicate crowded hospitals and a state of emergency, but China has downplayed concerns, attributing the spike to the “winter season”. Doctors have cautioned that HMPV has been around for several decades and there is a level of immunity in the global population from past infections. But the virus is rapidly spreading to Malaysia, Hong Kong, India. So is the world staring at another pandemic this year?
