⚠️ Triple Threat: COVID, Flu, and RSV Wreak Havoc on US Health ⚠️
40 states are battling high or very high levels of respiratory illness as a "tripledemic" of COVID, flu, and RSV takes hold. Hospitals are feeling the strain, with admissions surging and some patients facing multiple infections.
Key takeaways:
Southeastern states are hardest hit.
Flu cases lead the pack, but COVID and RSV are significant contributors.
LA has reinstated mask mandates in some settings.
Booster uptake remains low, despite updated vaccines.
Experts warn the flu season could stretch until May.
Protect yourself and others:
Wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces.
Practice good hygiene (handwashing, covering coughs/sneezes).
Stay home when sick.
Let's work together to curb this tripledemic and safeguard our communities by masking up!
