Are You Ready for a ‘Triple-Demic’ For the Holidays?

The U.S. is seeing an unusually high increase in respiratory infections over the past few weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 47 jurisdictions throughout the U.S. have reported “high” or “very high” levels of flu-like illness, compared with 36 jurisdictions reporting such levels the previous week.
As a result, the flu has caused at least 8.7 million illnesses, 78,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 deaths, with hospitalization rate higher than it’s been in roughly a decade. Similarly, the RSV-associated hospitalization rate was 25 per 100,000 for the week ending Nov. 26, compared with a rate of 8.5 per 100,000 during the same period in 2021.
