Fears of a U.S. “twindemic” are growing as the nation deals with children’s hospitals crowded with cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) just as the number of people with the flu also rise across the country.
Experts have been talking about a “twindemic” in connection with a simultaneous surge in COVID-19 and flu cases. The worry was that winter waves of COVID would coincide with the regular flu season, and that the combination could pose a threat to health systems.
Thankfully, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have leveled off in the United States — although that could change as temperatures drop and people move indoors. If that happens, even more pressure could be placed on hospitals.
COVID cases are on the rise in some parts of the country, signaled by wastewater surveillance, suggesting that we could potentially be on the verge of a “tripledemic.”
The Centers for Disease and Prevention has said that cases of RSV are rising in multiple regions of the country, while the nation’s children’s hospitals have reported being overwhelmed with RSV.
The rising number of cases has set off alarm bells for parents worried about hospital space.

Perhaps if children’s immune systems were not destroyed by MRNA vaccines, they would be fine as in previous times? Oh well….you win some, you lose some…
Don’t live in fear....it’s called a flu.
Yep, the closures have resulted in our kids’ immune systems being out of practice and weaker than they otherwise would be. Currently there is no vaccine for RSV which can be deadly to young infants and elderly adults. I’m participating in a Phase 3 trial of an RSV vaccine under development. It’s Janssen so it’s not an m-RNA based vaccine.
Just kidding, I'm not on farcebook. Oh, and I'm not terrified of COVID, or monkey pox, or whatever this "twindemic" is either, because I have more than two functioning brain cells and natural immunity to idiotic propaganda.

Do I hear "Quaddemic" anyone?
Now - Eight - do I hear eight - "Octademic" - anyone?
Going once... Going twice...
SOLD! To the man in the black bathrobe!
QUICK!! Somebody find me some pharmajuice I can pump into my body so I’m protected!!
What was and is detrimental to the postmodern Left is rabbit-holed in sort order, while what "might" and "could" and "maybe" is trumpeted from the headlines.
Look to the Daily Diviner to forecast the future, which used to be confined to the Astrology and Dear Abby sections, but now is NEWS!
Oddly, all this "news" involves us becoming afraid for our lives is Big Tech, Big Bureaucrat, Big Pharma and Big Whatever pretending to come to the rescue.
Don Quixote tilted at windmills, long before the postmodern tilting at windmills. Same tune. La-di-dah.
I had RSV - August - and hopefully I now have some good antibodies for it. I developed bronchitis during the bout with RSV, which included a persistent cough that kept be awake at night. The lack of sleep continued afer the cough subsided. August became the month that I lost this year.
Twindemic...watch out, here it comes.
Zinc, D3 and quercetin.
Does it use an adenovirus viral vector?
We need covid for the trifecta.
Yeah, that’s pretty much all the blowhard “experts” ever do.
“COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are plateaued for now, but wastewater surveillance indicates that they could be on the rise“
The sheep will believe that excrement
Don’t forget Monkeypox...
