I don't understand why our CDC and media are so bad at this.
All the media says on every report I am reading is that it's very dangerous to children. But nothing else. But everyone needs to assume they are going to get it. And there is NO vaccine yet.
A relative of mine is still in the emergency room and has been since Sunday. They were (and are) doing so badly that they aren't sure what the outcome is going to be yet.
The emergency room tested for the flu. That wasn't it. They also tested for Covid-19. That wasn't it.
Then they tested for RSV just for the hell of it. Bingo. This is in a fully grown adult here. Not a child.
Read that...just for the hell of it. There isn't even a real testing program in place to catch this. And the media isn't even warning adults about getting RSV. I wouldn't be surprised if RSV is now airborne already. I hope that it is not.
Now, my relative has to use an inhaler to breathe and they aren't sure when this is going away.
You want to know how they got it? By going to the pharmacy and getting their flu shot. Without. A. Mask.
I have never stopped wearing a mask, getting vaccinated, or using gloves since the start of the covid-19 pandemic. And I am not about to stop doing that now.
I highly recommend for anyone who cares about not getting any of these diseases to do the same.
