Parents Warned Over 'Quad-demic' of COVID, Flu, Norovirus and RSV
newsweek ^ | 02/14/2025 | Ian Randall

The United States is fighting a "quad-demic" this winter with four major viruses—COVID-19, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and norovirus—with infants at particular risk, Dr. Ryan Fulton recently warned.

"This year, we've seen earlier and more intense surges of RSV and the flu compared to what we're used to," Dr. Fulton, section chief of general pediatrics at Carilion Children's Hospital and faculty member at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, said in a statement.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported an increase in visits to doctors on a scale not seen in 15 years.

"COVID-19 emergency visits are less frequent than during earlier stages of the pandemic, but the virus remains a factor," Fulton added. "What's different now is that more children are presenting with co-infections, such as RSV and flu simultaneously, which increases the risk of complications and hospitalizations."

New strains of disease appearing after Biden Harris invited in millions of people from shittholes?

Probably just a coincidence.

When everything seems to be a dire threat, many will begin to tune the threats out to a great degree, just in order to get through the day. You have to manage the concern, especially with children.

It’s like all those warnings about what not to eat.
You cannot believe all the declarations of danger, or one would stop eating completely!

Good, so flu season is almost over then.

Meanwhile kids are concerned about the quad-threat from ghosts, goblins, the boogie man and the monster under the bed.

And coming to the country soon will be monkey pox, oropouche, more killer bees, with the return of the plague, measles, bird flu, and any other “let’s scare people” warnings by the media during Trump’s successful run to try to tarnish it. And the lies will flow like sewer backups like those already out and more to come.

I had something, coughed a lot for a week or two, got over it. I haven’t had a flu shot in 4 years. I won’t be getting one for some time. I’m not going to say never because I think of vaccinations as exercise for your immune system. I have a very good immune system.

Every year something goes around.

Learn to take care of your kids and watch for signs that they may be taking a turn for the worse and do something about it.

This constant fear mongering is getting old.

How did we ever survive in 1968, when the Hong Kong Flu was going around?

We managed.

I was sick for a week.

My dad had it really bad and it’s only in retrospect that I realized how sick he was because it knocked him on his back for a couple weeks. My mom wouldn’t even let us upstairs except to use the bathroom. That was pretty unusual.
