Dr. Thomas Moore, an infectious disease specialist, highlighted the mundane reality behind the symptoms, pointing out that respiratory virus season coincides with increased social gatherings and colder weather, leading to heightened transmission of flu, COVID-19, and RSV.
Dr. Bill Schaffner echoed this sentiment, stating, “This is not being beamed down from above but spread among ourselves.” Surveillance data supports their assessment, showing significant upticks in flu-related hospitalizations and COVID-19 positivity rates in recent weeks.
