Recent case trends in New York highlight this risk.
Most people have been infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) before the age of two, but adults can also be infected. RSV is a seasonal, infectious respiratory virus in children, and this year, New York has appeared earlier than usual, putting pressure on the hospital’s pediatric department.
Health officials in Monroe County said that so far this year, has confirmed 2 RSV deaths and 238 hospitalized . Both deaths were over 65 years old. According to the health department, New York State did not track respiratory syncytial virus cases on the individual level as COVID-19 , although this trend is obvious across the country. Monitoring of
CDC shows that in many regions of the United States, the number of people who have been receiving treatment and hospitalizations in emergency departments related to respiratory syncytial virus has increased, and some areas are close to seasonal peak levels. The CDC notes that clinicians and public health professionals should be aware of the increase in respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial viruses. What makes the situation even more complicated is: this time of year, the large number of influenza cases of flu, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Health experts say that is difficult to determine which disease you or your child may have . This is why experts recommend strengthening prevention measures for these three diseases. There is currently no RSV vaccine approved by FDA, but a recent study shows promising.
"Triple Epidemic" is coming. Doctors urge Chinese to get vaccinated
Starting from Monday (14th), New York entered winter mode, the temperature plummeted, and the cold winter is approaching, and the "Triple Epidemic" is also coming. has caused the hospital to be overwhelmed by the surge in children's influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
In this regard, doctors called on Chinese and children to receive influenza vaccine and the latest upgraded bivalent new crown vaccine booster injection as soon as possible to better protect themselves. Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, has an extremely fierce flu in the just-concluded winter. As global flow spreads, the northern hemisphere, which has begun to enter winter, will be severe.
In order to prevent influenza, the influenza vaccine launched every year is based on the epidemic strains in the autumn and winter that scientists predicted. Therefore, this year's influenza vaccine is very targeted for the most popular cold strains. He advises the public and children to be vaccinated as soon as possible to resist the aggressive flu. Last week, Governor Huo Chu and State Health Department Director Mary Bassett jointly introduced to the public that there are currently three viruses in New York State. In addition to the RSV virus and influenza, the new coronavirus is still in the epidemic, and the symptoms of these three viruses are similar, which may lead to the serious disease .
, especially the currently popular new coronavirus mutation strain, is highly escaping, and children and adults at school do not wear masks, so there are many cases of infection. Recently, a 10-year-old Chinese boy came to see the doctor. He had a high fever at home for three days. The child was not the vaccine locally vaccinated. was given three shots of before coming to the United States to study, but he was still infected with the new coronavirus during class in school. The symptoms appeared were quite serious, which scared his mother.
After the clinic was diagnosed, he was quickly prescribed for treatment. Nowadays, the new symptoms that appear after influenza and the new coronavirus are easily confused, and the differences between the two are getting less and less. Therefore, only after symptoms are tested as soon as possible can the two be distinguished and different treatments are performed. This concept is wrong to people now think that getting infected with the new coronavirus is like catching a big cold. Take the figures as an example. In the past, the number of people who died of influenza in the United States was between 5,000 and 15,000 per year, but according to the latest data from the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of November 9, an average of 335 people in the United States lost their lives every day due to the new coronavirus infection, and the difference between the two is very large.
Therefore, people are called on people to receive the annual flu vaccine and the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible before the cold winter comes.In addition, recently adjusted its entry epidemic prevention policy, bringing favorable conditions for Chinese people to return to China . It is recommended that Chinese people returning to China must get the latest upgraded bivalent COVID-19 vaccine enhanced shot to better protect their health and safety. There was another news earlier that was equally surprising: US Representatives Sean Casten uncovered the scars and disclosed The truth about the death of his daughter .
This young girl has always been healthy, but that night died in her sleep . Sean Casten said the child died of sudden heart rate disorders. A girl who was vaccinated and was extremely healthy, tested positive several times a few months before her death, the key point was that she had never had symptoms .
This is the most terrifying situation after the epidemic, asymptomatic. She still lost her life silently.
