Fact Check: Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Not Similar to COVID-19 Pandemic

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Rumors about HMPV in China have sparked comparisons to COVID-19; however, HMPV is not new and has been known since 2001.
  • Unlike COVID-19, most HMPV infections result in mild symptoms such as coughing and runny noses, with few severe cases.
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that there are no unusual outbreak patterns for HMPV and China's health system is not overwhelmed.
  • Health experts note that concerns about HMPV being a pandemic are exaggerated, reflecting a heightened sensitivity post-COVID.
  • Infections are rising seasonally in China, consistent with flu season trends, and health officials see no cause for alarm.
