Hospitalising Nearly 400 People – A New Mystery Disease Abroad Has Social Media In Knots
Social media has once again gone into a state of panic after learning that a mystery illness is on the loose – that has already hospitalised nearly 400 people and killed 1.
The unidentified illness was contracted at Eluru in Andhra Pradesh and symptoms include convulsions, seizures, anxiety, fits, epilepsy and neurological symptoms and they are the same across age groups and gender. Furthermore, ALL of the patients hospitalised with these symptoms were tested NEGATIVE for COVID-19.
Post the mass hospitalizations over the weekend, 180 patients have since been discharged, while the rest are stable
Nonetheless, a health emergency has been declared in the area as doctors have ruled out all aspects related to SARS-CoV-2. In addition, blood tests performed on the patients also ruled out the possibility of dengue fever, chikungunya and herpes.
Specialized scientists and doctors from all over India have been roped in to detect the cause behind the mystery illness.
Dubai Twitter has gone into a frenzy hoping that another pandemic isn’t on the rise
Mystery illness in India eh? Can a giant comet just bash through the earth so we can end it quickly rather than deal with another pandemic please?

Maybe hit a pause on the panic button?? As possibilities of gas leaks and water contamination have still not been completely ruled out as a part of the ongoing investigation
There’s rEALLY a new mystery illness in India so I’m pretty sure at this point the world actually is ending
