#Flu and #COVID cases and emergency room visits are back to baseline in #NYC. #RSV may be decreasing, but none of them are contributing heavily to hospitalizations.
Most hospitalizations in January 26-31 appear to be from "the common cold": enterovirus/rhinovirus and old coronaviruses.
#COVIDIsNotOver and there were 24 deaths from #COVID19 in January, but that may rise.

Why is it so hard to get people vaccinated against flu? We should make it much, much easier. maggiefox.com/f/vaccinatio... #medsky #flu #vaccination #vaccines
Vaccination is Hard
This isn’t just “flu season.” It’s multiple pathogens circulating at once — and the harm adds up fast.
Respirator-grade masks provide respiratory protection against inhalation of airborne pathogens. Layered prevention works: masking + ventilation + filtration + testing + isolation protocols.

@craig_groeschel More generally: NEVER rely on one single layer of protection against these ghastly plagues: put MULTIPLE layers between yourself and the pathogens — as many as you can. Air filtration, AND respirator masks, AND vaccination. And while #COVID19 is the worst, #flu and #RSV should not be underestimated either. Get the seasonal #flu vaccine and one of the vaccines against #RSV, such as #Arexvy or #Abrysvo, as well as #COVID19 vaccines.
In the United States the week ending January 24, hospitalizations for #flu #COVID and #RSV continued to drop, to a total of 4.7 per lakh per day.
#COVIDIsNotOver and there are still local hotspots, but let's hope we have a nice long break before the next nationwide outbreak!

In the United States the week ending January 17, #flu hospitalizations were down to 2.9 per lakh, the same as the week ending December 6. #COVID and #RSV hospitalizations were still low and dropping.
#COVIDIsNotOver and there may be local outbreaks, but in general it's relatively low.

Fucking fuckity fuck...
One moment I am absolutely fine. Thinking finally this cold has gone. Over night I was fine. All morning I was fine.
They, within minutes I am so ill, hard to breath, coughing, sweating, fever, aches, faster than I realise.
I am not going out anyway, but I dare not in case I suddenly go down with it again.
I am sick of this, really sick of it.
