Face mask mandates return in multiple states as doctors warn of 'quad-demic' of four viral infections

Official figures reveal that infections cause by flu, Covid, RSV (a respiratory illness that causes the cold) and norovirus (sometimes called the stomach flu) all started to surge over the Christmas period, when families gathered to celebrate.

And experts say figures will only continue to rise over the coming weeks as the US heads into the peak period of its annual flu season.

Data shows that norovirus cases are at their highest level for this time of year since 2012, while RSV hospitalizations are up nearly 40 percent in two weeks.

An estimated 3.1million people have been sickened by the flu so far this season, while 37,000 have been hospitalized and 1,500 have died. And the number of states with 'very high' levels of the disease has quadrupled in a week to eight.

Each year in the United States, seasonal influenza, or flu, kills more than 36,000 people and hospitalizes 200,000 more.

That would indicate this years "flu" season is milder then most based on the numbers quoted in this "news" article.
