"Rising Tripledemic: Tracking Covid, Flu, and RSV Infections Across the US"

The US is experiencing a tripledemic of Covid, flu, and RSV infections, with 38 states reporting high or very high levels of flu-like illnesses and a nearly 30 percent increase in Covid hospital admissions. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases are also unseasonably high, prompting at least 14 states to reinstate face mask mandates in hospitals. The surge in infections, particularly among children, has raised concerns about a larger winter surge, with 10 million flu cases and 110,000 hospitalizations reported so far this season. Amid rising infection levels, hospitals are reinstating mask mandates to prevent further spread.
