Alarming situation in China, flu fills hospitals

It had to be a regular seasonal flu, but hospitals in China have been filled, and authorities recognize that the number of reported cases since the beginning of the year is much higher than that of the same period in the past years.

Two rounds of strong snow storms and below-zero temperatures have also affected the frustration of the situation. Zhengzhou's main hospital in the central province of Henan abounds with children and adults.

My child is five and three months old. His situation is not improving, and I fear that if he continues the high fever will have other complications”, one parent said.

According to doctors, most symptoms are very easy to identify.

It's clear that it's about the flu, they have fever and fatigue. Some of the slightly older children also suffer from muscular pain and headache”, said Yang Ying, doctor.

The flight of patients is growing, and many hospitals in the country are struggling to cope with the demand for treatment. Buying medication “Tamiflu” has also marked significant increases. The virus responsible for this epidemic has not been seen much in recent years, according to health experts who add that people may lack the necessary immune mechanisms to cope with the explosion in question.
