PTSD hits the planet when news of China viruses breaking out occurs–especially when reports indicate high death rates, infections of younger people, and crematoriums being overwhelmed..
This is what is being reported now across social media: China is facing a surge in multiple viruses, including Influenza A, HMPV, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and COVID-19, overwhelming hospitals and crematoriums. Children’s hospitals are particularly strained by rising pneumonia and “white lung” cases.
This quote comes to us from sources quoting someone named Ms. Wang:
Ms. Wang, a funeral director in Zhejiang, described long cremation lines, with VIP furnaces in use, emitting heavy smoke. She likened the scene to a bustling New Year market. As a result, the government has declared a state of emergency in response to the escalating epidemic.
And a Youtube video from ‘Decoding China’ is another source..
BUT IS ANY OF THIS TRUE!?
Caution before believing headlines.. delve deep. There is no official mention of China declaring any emergencies.. additionally there is nothing from official health sources like the World Health Organization.
And while we are sure Ms. Wang exists.. who is she and where is she? Credible sources are necessary before we devolve into panic.
There were official reports in November of a surge of pneumonia in China along with other respiratory diseases. So it is very likely some hospitals are now being overwhelmed. Is it a COVID-like situation?
It should be noted that some sleuths have discovered some truths: That videos and clips being shown may be from years ago.
There are no statements or reliable reports to support these claims. A Community Note on X read: “There is no information to back up the claim that China has declared a state of emergency over epidemics overwhelming the hospitals and crematoriums in the country.”..

This is not to say we aren’t in store for wild pandemics in 2025–who knows. But right now, at this moment, despite rumors there appears to be no credible sources AT THIS TIME that any of these events in China are occurring. That could change quickly–the Communist government may be keeping a tighter lid on things. Perhaps these rumors will be true.. and maybe Ms. Wang is right. Until confirmation.. keep your head up high and that mask in the back pocket..
