National data shows COVID-19 levels are moderate. In most of the U.S., levels of other respiratory viruses are low, although RSV is ticking up in some southeastern states.
Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations are now available across the U.S., including at this CVS pharmacy in Palatine, Illinois.
As the weather cools down, health officials are gearing up for a new season of sickness. It’s the time for gathering indoors and spreading respiratory viruses.There’s the big three to start: the flu, respiratory syncytial virus and COVID-19. “These are the three that cause the most utilization of the health care system and the most severe disease,” says Dr.
A lot of these viruses have the same cold- and flu-like symptoms: coughing, sneezing, aches, fevers, chills. These infections may not lead to doctor’s visits, but they cause sickness and misery.That means data comes in “even from people who are just mildly sick and sipping tea at home,” Wolfe says. The wastewater information helps show how these different viruses intersect, Wolfe says.
Knowing what’s circulating locally could help health care workers and hospital systems plan for surges. “If you have multiple of these viruses at the same time, that could be worse for individuals and worse for the systems that are trying to take care of them,” she says.That means it’s a good time to get protected, says Daskalakis, of the CDC.
