Public health experts are warning of a ‘quad-demic’ this winter. Here’s where flu, COVID, RSV, and norovirus are spreading

As you deck the halls and traverse afar this holiday season, taking precautions to protect yourself from a quartet of infectious diseases can lessen your odds of bringing an illness into the new year.

Flu, COVID, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and norovirus are making their winter rounds nationwide, and you may have heard the term “quad-demic” pop up online or in conversation (the first three are sometimes called a “triple-demic”). While the unofficial term for the four maladies circulating in tandem evokes a sense of impending doom, the quadruple threat isn’t so different from respiratory virus seasons past.

“All of the viruses are here, it’s just they’re affecting different areas a little bit differently,” Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr., medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases tells Fortune. “I don’t want to panic people, but I would say if you haven’t been vaccinated and you’re eligible for vaccination—that means everybody 6 months of age and older—get that COVID shot, get that flu shot.”

Solution? 100% mail-in voting, suspension of the 1st and 2nd amendments, open the borders, increase taxes, cut defense spending, cease all oil and gas production and jail everyone who disagrees.

More folks should wash their hands more often.

I just got diagnosed with Covid. I let posts here get in my head about how Covid wasnt a thing anymore.

If I had paid closer attention I would have started my protocol sooner.

My version showed up first with a wicked sore throat that I cant even describe. Razorblades isnt accurate but close enough

btw, my one year expired Flow COVID test was accurate so if you have one sitting around at home you can try it.

I tried to get an RSV test but my Urgent care wont test for it even though I am an old lady

Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr., Medical Director, National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, says “...if you haven’t been vaccinated [for COVID] and you’re eligible for vaccination—that means everybody 6 months of age and older—get that COVID shot"

Right, Doc. I'll get right on it. And it is absolutely critical to give it to babies!

Did this guy ever study the disease or look at the illness, hospitalization and death data by age cohort?

I just cant believe it. I survived the entire pandemic but as soon as I let my guard down and start to believe the claims Covid is over I got slammed with it.

So far keeping it out of my lower lungs. Worst part is constant coughing and wicked headache and wicked sore throat. Doxy and Ivermectin have helped with the sore throat. I do have a prescription for Plaquenil so I guess I will take that too

I can survive the fatigue. Just sleep.

Problem is when food harvesters and other food handlers don’t wash their hands. I know from experience that the average person does not properly wash their hands, including food handlers.
1. Turn on water. Wet hands. Leave water running.
2. Apply soap. Rub soapy hands together thoroughly for at least 20 seconds. Scrub nail tips over palm of hands to clean nails.
3. Rinse hands thoroughly.
4. Dry hands thoroughly with paper towel.
5. Shut off water with paper towel. Do NOT turn off water with your clean hands; doing so will recontaminate your hands with whatever was on your dirty hands or the hands of whomever used the sink before you.
Step #5 is where most people mess up.

At the first sign of any sore throat I gargle with Betadine, a 1% povidone iodine solution. It's been very effective at knocking out my sore throats and possible follow-on illnesses.

It works by releasing iodine which results in the death of a range of microorganisms. Povidone-iodine came into commercial use in 1955. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Povidone-iodine is available over the counter and it is sold under a number of brand names including Betadine.

I've also continued the quercetin, zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, NAC, nigella sativa, elderberry and melatonin protocol. More information at the FLCCC Alliance at I-PREVENT: COVID, FLU AND RSV PROTECTION PROTOCOL.

Here's a direct link to the I-PREVENT protocol pdf: I-PREVENT: COVID, FLU AND RSV PROTECTION.

The documents list protocols if you are already sick.

Best of luck to you! Hope it doesn't get any worse than razor blades. ;>)

My sisters kids(Ages 9, 4 and almost 9 months) all got the flu shot..every single one of them got the flu..started with the 9 yr old, got 102 fever, went without fever for 2 days, then got pneumonia, then the 4 yr old got it, high fever, puked 3 times, now the fever came back so my sis who is also sick(Also got the flu shot) is taking him to the doc now to see what secondary crap he has now..also the baby is sick too, 101 fever, congested..its been a nightmare and the flu shot did NOTHING, a total absolute waste of time, mind as well have put in water in a syringe and given it to them
