China faces a surge in respiratory infections, likely linked to Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), causing overcrowded hospitals. HMPV, related to RSV, poses higher risks to young children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include cough, fever, and in severe cases, pneumonia. Preventive measures include handwashing, mask-wearing, and staying home when sick.
