The authorities are currently monitoring a sudden surge of a virus in China.

The Chikungunya virus carried by mosquitoes and starting to raise global concern.

About 240,000 Chikungunya cases and 90 related deaths have been reported globally.

This painful mosquito spread virus causes severe joint aches, fever, and fatigue.

This can lead to bleeding.

It can affect the nervous system, the heart,

the kidneys, and the liver.

And in some cases, it can be fatal.

China is even bringing back COVID-like measures

to try to contain the spread.

Authorities are also threatening

to find people up to $1,400 and even shut off their electricity

if they don't follow the rules and empty any water from outdoor receptacles.

The United States has even issued a travel warning, alerting Americans to stay away from the outbreak region.

There is no known cure for the virus, but there are two approved vaccines

in the U.S., which the CDC is urging Americans traveling to China to get.

Of course, there's a vaccine. I think they make these names up just to make, you know,

Of course, I'm talking about John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough, who joined me now. Peter, it's great to see you. John, it's a pleasure.

Is this serious? Is this a serious threat? What type of diseases? What are we dealing with?
