As per the statement, the infected person showed mild symptoms of Influenza Like Illness (ILI). Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) typically presents with sudden onset of symptoms that resemble influenza. Common manifestations include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, muscle or body aches, fatigue, and headache. Individuals with ILI may also experience nasal congestion, runny nose, and occasionally gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. The symptoms are often more severe than those of the common cold and can lead to respiratory distress. It's crucial to consult healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, especially during influenza seasons, as ILI can be caused by various respiratory viruses, not solely influenza.

Chinese and American Hospitals Learn the Value of Germs

Here we go again. The World Health Organization on Nov. 22 said it is looking into media reports of Chinese hospitals overwhelmed by sick children. Chinese authorities attribute the surge to higher circulation of seasonal bugs like the flu and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. The reports have raised concerns about a potentially novel pathogen spreading in China and renewed suspicions about Beijing’s lack of transparency.“It is not at all clear when this outbreak started as it would be unusual for so many children to be affected so quickly,” the International Society for Infectious Diseases’ Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases reported.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

By month’s end, Pfizer’s stock-market value had surpassed $300 billion, up 50% from the start of the pandemic. Moderna’s shares had soared by more than 1,000% over the same period.
