The Vital Virus You're Unaware Of, According to Doctors.

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a little-known virus that causes respiratory infections and has symptoms similar to Covid-19 and the flu. Cases of HMPV spiked this spring, filling hospital intensive care units with young children and seniors who are the most vulnerable to these infections. Unlike Covid-19 and the flu, there’s no vaccine for HMPV or antiviral drugs to treat it. Studies show that HMPV causes as much misery in the US each year as the flu and a closely related virus, RSV.
