I have been a pediatric ICU / CCT nurse for over 3 decades now. In California respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season was from around November to say March in bad seasons.

Now as the article points out AND judging by the number of kids we are transporting with it remains high.

The other difference is that we are now seeing combos. In the past you would get say RSV in isolation and now we are seeing it combined with say Human metapneumovirus or other types. These poor kiddo's are getting hit hard and it seems we are stretching into a year round endemic situation #RSV #virus #respiratory #healthcare

Sadly, they're reporting 5 #COVID deaths the week ending May 2, so we can't say there were zero deaths in #NYC in April. But there were zero #COVID19 deaths for four straight weeks, from March 29 through April 25!

COVID cases are also down below 8 per lakh per day, the lowest in three years. #RSV and #flu cases are all down as well, though they're not yet at the summer baselines yet!

#COVIDIsNotOver so I still #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, hospitals and nursing homes!
