CDC Director Addresses Respiratory Illnesses in China

CDC Director Mandy Cohen testifies that the respiratory illness surge in China is not caused by a new virus but is attributed to Covid-19, the flu, RSV, and mycoplasma, aligning with reports from the WHO and the Chinese government. Some GOP lawmakers expressed skepticism about China's reporting, drawing parallels to early Covid-19 days. The WHO stated that the increases in illnesses are earlier than usual due to the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions in China.
