… Than The Coronavirus Is Sweeping Kazakhstan

"The Chinese embassy in Kazakhstan has warned of a deadly "unknown pneumonia" after the former Soviet republic reported a spike in pneumonia cases since June.

Hmmm.

Pneumonia is not a specific disease, but strictly speaking is a symptom. Practically, it refers to an infection in the lungs. It could be caused by any number of microbes, many of which are present in your saliva all the time. So referring to a disease as "an unknown pneumonia" is really, really vague.

Plus, "China" says things for political reasons as well as straightforward reasons. And I've never heard of this website. So I'm just going to wait and see if any real information comes along.

Mother nature has always had a built-in fail-safe mechanism for the overpopulation of any species. Stay healthy my friends.
