Doctor Alimehmeti on the "new" Chinese virus: It resembles the flu and is everywhere...

Renowned doctor Ilir Alimehmeti provided more information regarding the virus that has recently spread in China and has created "anxiety" throughout the world. Invited to the Klan News studio, Alimehmeti said that HMPV was discovered in 2001 in the Netherlands and is very similar to influenza A.

He emphasized that the chances are extremely low for a pandemic situation, as happened 5 years ago with Covid-19.

"It is very similar to the flu, in terms of behavior, symptoms, possibilities of complications. It resembles both in percentage and behavior, the type A virus. There is no vaccine for it, there is no anti-viral medication for it! The patient must be supported because it is his immune system that will overcome the virus. In those cases that it worsens, he needs medical help, like any other flu. This is a virus with an extremely small chance of causing a pandemic situation."

So what happened in China, according to the doctor?

"Information from China is always partial, delayed, covered up, uncertain. The images are questionable whether they are now or at another time. This virus generally affects young children or very old people, we have only seen images of adults. We have even seen active ages, not children. But what we know for sure about China is that it kept a quarantine for 3 years. Imagine 3 years of locking down a population as large as China's, where all kinds of viruses have circulated, which are now at their maximum activity. When we locked down, the flu disappeared. Remember that there was no flu?! 1 year in Albania there was no flu at all, but the year after that such viruses immediately came."

Alihmehmeti added that this "virus is everywhere, but it is difficult to identify from a laboratory point of view."

"It is seasonal and like any upper respiratory infection it can cause pneumonia," the doctor concluded.
