    Has anyone tested these children and released the type of flu these kids have? Because flu season ended months ago. And it is absurd to believe so many ended up with a pneumonia that puts them in the hospital. And now they are tunring away cases because the hospitals are full???? Pardon me for being sceptical but this seems utterly ridiculous.
    Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.

    Thank you,

      Southern China experiences usually this time of year a surge in HFMD cases (caused by several Coxsackievirus and EV-71 among the Others), and the tropical flu season is only weeks away to enter its peak.

      It is clear that some of these paediatric patients will be tested for flu and HFMD and I suspect either for H7N9 and H5N1 in some cases.

      In tropical regions flu circulate year long with two peaks, in winter and summer...

      If there is something strange, well we have to await only for few days to know.
