Many children in mainland China who are exhibiting high fevers, coughs, and even “white lung” symptoms have flooded hospitals and infected other members of their families, according to Chinese media reports and posts on social media.

Based on the reported symptoms, authorities’ lack of transparency, and the lack of press freedom in China, suspicions point to another outbreak of COVID-19.
