Tripledemic: What To Do When Flu, RSV and COVID-19 Cases Collide
Is this "Tripledemic" keeping you up at night?
Are you wondering what this winter's complex respiratory disease situation is and how to provide accurate test results in the most confident way?
Scott Roberts, MD, infectious disease specialist at Yale Medicine, said in an interview with Carrie MacMillan on November 22 for YaleMedicine: “What we are seeing is record levels of RSV in young children. Usually, we see a spike in December or January, but it’s earlier this year. COVID is still the most prevalent virus in the community, but it’s on a downward trajectory, while RSV and flu are increasing.” Together, these three diseases are commonly called "Tripledemic."
