The Flu Is Definitely Back - Gizmodo

Flu season activity is high throughout the U.S., and experts expect many more cases and hospitalizations to occur in the weeks ahead.

There are likely several reasons why a supposed “twindemic” featuring the flu and covid-19 never came to pass, including recent speculation that respiratory viruses in general tend to crowd each other out.

As a result of the surge, many children’s hospitals have reported much higher levels of RSV-related hospitalizations than even those seen during the normal RSV season.

There is some speculation that infection by covid-19 has weakened children’s immune systems, making them more vulnerable to severe RSV, but many experts argue that the decline of population immunity alone is enough to explain these surges.

Getting your updated covid-19 booster and annual flu shot will lower your risk of snot-related misery and severe complications this holiday season, and other measures like staying home when sick or wearing masks in high-risk situations can help limit the spread of flu, covid-19, RSV, and other germs
