  2. perfect! it doesnt exist, so you dont need to take precautions from it and that means it absolutely will not spread like wildfire

  7. Cough up blood … the first strains of Covid-19 and also SARS
    (the older people will remember, 2002/2003, China/Taiwan and Canada was affected
    https://www.who.int/health-topics/severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome#tab=tab_1)
    had this effect.
    Over the time Covid-19 became more “tame”.
    It would therefore be surprising if Covid-19 would become more aggressive again in Russia.

    In February there was:
    ” “Causes severe respiratory failure.” What is known about the metapneumovirus
    outbreak in Russia and what are its symptoms”
    «Приводит к тяжелой дыхательной недостаточности». Что известно о вспышке метапневмовируса в России и какие у него симптомы
    Background:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMPV_seasonal_outbreak_in_China_(2024)

    In general Russia … there was even a video when the Russian propagandist Satanovski used
    a “Russian kerchief” (two finger clamp) …
    .
    .
    Okay, what had the Russian press on Monday?
    sovsekretno ru (yes, I know, but they refer to the tg channel of “Rospotrebnadzor”, the Russian CDC):

    “31.03.2025
    Rospotrebnadzor stated that during monitoring in Russia no new viruses or their mutations were detected.
    Earlier, it was reported that Rospotrebnadzor specialists took control of information
    about cases of illness with an allegedly unknown virus that were distributed in a Telegram channel. …”

    Okay, google translate lets it sound like the virus was spread via tg.
    Information control over viruses is important in Russia.

    “… This happened after the Shot Telegram channel wrote that those infected with an unknown virus
    had been suffering from high fever and severe coughing up blood for weeks,
    while they had negative tests for COVID and flu.

    The symptoms of those who fall ill are the same: it all starts with the usual aches and weakness,
    but after a couple of days the virus “cuts down” and it is impossible to get out of bed.
    Accompanied by a temperature of up to 39 degrees, Russians note a severe cough to tears.
    In the conclusion, patients are given “acute upper respiratory tract infection, unspecified –
    ARVI” and are recommended to immediately call an ambulance if the condition worsens.
    One of the patients told the Telegram channel that she took antibiotics for about a week,
    but the cough remained, and on the “5th day after the onset of the disease, she noticed blood when coughing up. …”

    Okay taking antibiotics when there are viruses the culprit is like dumb tax.
    Except you have secondary infections like a purulent sinusitis.

    “… At the same time, tests for coronavirus infection and flu, according to her, were negative.
    Rospotrebnadzor reported on Telegram that
    “during the ongoing epidemiological monitoring and genomic surveillance conducted in the Russian Federation,
    no new viruses or viruses with significant mutations have been identified.”
    The agency noted that the epidemiological situation is stable and completely under control.
    It clarified that 3,000 cases of COVID-19 infection were registered last week (-20% compared to the previous week).
    The incidence of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza decreased by 10.8%. At the same time,
    influenza viruses B and A remain active. …”

    “Completely under control” – this is what we wanted to hear.
    Hours ago I had a look in an east German newspaper from May 2, 1986.
    Everything under control in Chornobyl.

  8. It’s TB. There was just an article about it posted a few hours ago

  9. They are denying it’s a mystery, because they know it’s TB

  12. Nobody’s got AIDs! I don’t wanna hear that word in here again!

  14. No no this is good. Let the population continue to mingle and spread it since it “doesn’t” exist.

  15. At this point, Russia can’t be trusted with telling the truth.

  16. This is the Bulletovirus. No doubt. Apparently been decimating young males for 3 years now.

  18. It’s probably TB that’s running rampant among russkies

  19. Probably “just” TB but a man can wish. Heard they had new/unidentfied Ebola-like disease down in Congo-basin.

    Wouldn’t severe TB outbreaks have been a standard fare in their penal batallions recruited from their gulags?

  20. Okay, so if there’s one thing we do know, it’s that there’s *definitely* an unknown virus causing people to cough up blood.

  23. I’m confused as to why the word ‘virus’ is in the title if the cause is unknown?

  24. Ok so we now know with certainty that there is a mystery virus causing victims to cough up blood in Russia

  25. All of a sudden: “Yeah, the virus you know, 900k deaths from it. Not from the war.”

  26. Ok, as much as I cannot trust Kremlin propaganda, there is no ‘Russian-only’ virus. Viruses spread regardless of nationality so I’ll wait until other more trustworthy countries get it or put restrictions to make an opinion on this news (especially whether it’s known as it could just be something known but growing in war conditions).

  27. They also denied that they were going to invade Ukraine!!

  29. It’s like that mysterious virus that makes you fall out a window.
