The RSV joke in the medical community is simple:
If you have RSV and have a culture and sensitivity done, you should get the results in 3/4 days.
The good news: most people are over RSV in a day or two.
I may have had it last Thursday and over it by Friday.
My wife may have it today, and she should be okay by tomorrow.
We are in our 80’s and not worrying.. The main symptoms are maybe a little fever and feeling blah all day.
My 26 yr old twin daughters almost died of it when they were 6 weeks old. One got a brain injury from it because she was vomiting. She was on a ventilator for 8:days.
My other daughter was on a ventilator for a month. She has terrible asthma whenever she gets respiratory illnesses.
Last year, I got really sick from RSV. It went into a bacterial infection and then I got costochondritis for a few months.
I really want this to be a good vaccine because I could use some help from RSV.
