yes i know it infects children, in my 68 yrs on this earth i have never had RSV, including when i worked in a hospital peds floor.
If we had RSV, when we were around age two our parents wouldn’t have known what we had, decades ago.
My sister, who is now 82 at age 2 , was put in the hospital (before antibiotics) for two days/nights and recovered.
She never had the flu, any virus or pneumonia after that event. She feels that she had RSV decades ago, and it made her immune to many later viruses from her children.
that is what she had at age 2, looking back my brother might have had it also at age 3 or 4.
my point is i am tired of all the media scare tactics now about the flu, rsv and covid.
saw a commerical everyone was wearing masks for the flu.
My sister in law is absolutely terrified of COVID. She wears a mask all the time and gets vaxxed whenever she can.
She may very well be your late sister-in-law in the not so distant future
“saw a commercial everyone was wearing masks for the flu.”
My wife and I have noticed how basically no one is wearing masks in our N. Cal. area: in our busy clinic, her bible study group, me at the DMV, in a busy bank and today in a grocery store or on our street with dozens of walkers.
