Several Chinese students have fallen ill with a mysterious pneumonia in Beijing and Liaoning, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Hospitals in China are “overwhelmed with sick children,” creating complications for attendance in school classes, which are “on the verge of suspension,” according to the Daily Mail. Symptoms of the sickness include inflammation of the lungs and a high fever, but traditional flu and respiratory illness symptoms like coughing were reportedly not present.

Some scientists have alleged the COVID-19 virus initially emerged from an accidental leak at a Chinese laboratory. Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director (NIAID) Anthony Fauci allegedly initiated an effort to suppress the theory that the origins of COVID-19 could be traced to a laboratory in Wuhan, China, according to a report released in July 2023.
