As temperatures drop and people host holiday gatherings indoors, cases of COVID-19, flu, RSV and other illnesses are ticking up.

The article from WTOP discusses the surge in various respiratory illnesses as winter approaches. Alongside the expected increase in cold and flu cases, there has been a notable rise in other respiratory infections like RSV, strep throat, and even a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases. Health experts attribute this to several factors including seasonal changes, reduced immunity due to less exposure to pathogens during the warmer months, and increased indoor gatherings. The piece highlights the strain on healthcare systems, with emergency rooms and clinics seeing higher patient volumes. It also mentions the importance of preventive measures like vaccinations, good hygiene practices, and possibly wearing masks in crowded places to mitigate the spread of these illnesses. Additionally, the article touches on the challenges in distinguishing between symptoms of different respiratory viruses, urging people to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.
