More details can be found here. It has been around for a long time but I think the panic is only because China has an increased number of cases than in other countries. Most of the world still has its trauma from Covid-19 breaking out in Wuhan almost exactly five years ago to the day. But it's important to remember that China has about 15% of the global population, so of course the case count are going to be much higher there than elsewhere in the world.
Pneumonia has been pretty bad across the United States since the mid-fall. Everyone in my immediate family, but me, has come down with it in the past two months. It gets worse during the winter month, and this isn't anything spectacular. Again, this panic is only because China is reporting a higher number of cases. I suggest users check out that BBC article I linked at the beginning of the post. It goes over all the important points that might be of concern.
