COVID, the flu, and RSV: Now is not the time to let your guard down

Influenza (the flu) has been a part of our lives for a long time. We have been dealing with COVID-19 for almost 3 years now. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) might seem like a newcomer because it has been in the headlines recently, but most babies have an RSV infection before they turn 2 years old. Even though we have learned to deal with these viruses, that doesn’t mean we should take them for granted.

It’s true that how sick you or a loved one might get from one of these can vary. Any one of them could make you feel like you have only a mild cold. Any one of them could also result in a stay in the hospital. All of them can be highly contagious.

That’s why you and your loved ones should continue to take appropriate measures to protect yourselves and others. If you aren’t feeling well, don’t roll the dice. Get tested. Read more and find out how Testing is self-care.
