🩺You may be hearing the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting a sharp rise in respiratory illness from metapneumovirus (hMPV.) 

What is HMPV?  it's in the Pneumoviridae family, usually of short duration with the occasional complication, pneumonia.

Because nearly all viral illness worst case scenarios involve secondary bacterial pneumonias, that can polish you off since your heart requires oxygen, preventative pneumonia inoculations are wise.

Here's a couple reliable inoculation choices based upon my experience with patients and myself. But if you are mature, you know every one reacts individually. You should review all side effects associated with any inoculation.

Prevnar 20 is a inactivated polysaccharide vaccine [conjugate] vaccine (PCV) and has a broader immune response than the pneumonia polysaccharide inoculations like Prevnar 23. 

Depending upon your age and fundamental health , Prevnar 20 should last at least 10 years.

Prevnar 23 is a non conjugate pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, Regardless, it protects from 23 pneumonia-type strains. I used this inoculation for years working around desperately ill patients and I never acquired pneumonia. I am told Prevnar 23 is going to be phased out for 20.

Check with your Doc. There are many more pneumonia prevention alternatives. In the case of pneumonia, preventative measures are a good thing.
