Not good. When this gets out of Kazakhstan, maybe we won’t eff up our response.

Great. The murder hornet iteration of respiratory illness is about to hit.

I'm not sure that Dailymail.co.UK really cares that much about Nov.

The article doesn't seem to be promoting anything as crazy as the title.

Cases of 'unknown pneumonia' which are sweeping across Kazakhstan are likely to be undetected Covid-19 infections, an expert has said.

The Chinese embassy had claimed the pneumonia outbreak is more dangerous than coronavirus.

But Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist and oncologist at University of Warwick, said it was 'difficult to believe' the pneumonia is not related to Covid-19.

Kazakhstan's Health Ministry said it has recorded more than 32,000 cases of pneumonia between June 29 and July 5 alone, along with 451 deaths.

I imagine Kazakhstan is testing the pneumonia patients for Covid.

Fixed your reply for you

Daily Mail is read for fun and not really a serious newspaper

....guys, we have been experiencing flu's and bugs for centuries, recent times things like SARS have scared us enough, and this is the new reality.

There are bugs that can kill us for which we have no cure, no vaccine and either we learn to endure as societies or we don't.

I am not the slightest bit shocked about this, the 1918 epidemic was a relatively mild version followed by the deadly version that overstimulated the immune systems of mid-aged adults and so killed millions.

But we've shot our wad on this one, all but destroyed our economies to try to eradicate a relatively less severe illness and now the coffers are empty to deal with whatever comes next.

For a couple of reasons, diseases are likely to increase in the future, relative to the post WWII period.

What about the hard hitting news that's always down the right hand side of the page " in shocking bikini photoshoot" and " barely clothed at the beach" and " showing off fit figure blah, blah, blah"

Surely that's all stuff that we should know!

Well, they DO try to keep you abreast of current figures.
