COVID numbers are going up, but #flu and #RSV cases continue to drop in #NYC. We still don't have accurate hospitalization numbers for #influenza and #RSVirus here, but it looks like the overall risk of hospitalization and death from acute airborne infectious diseases is dropping.

I'm going to plan for indoor dining and singing, and maybe travel, but as long as this many people are dying and being hospitalized I'll #WearAMask in elevators, trains, doctor's offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

My toddler had a high fever and trouble breathing late last night and this morning. He's a bit better after a breathing treatment, and after all the news of kids needing to be hospitalized for RSV, I'm glad he didn't have to be admitted. But he is still miserable, and we aren't out of the woods yet. Please stay home if you are sick.

It shares the same science as the COVID-19 vaccine and was crafted by the same NIH and academic scientists who created Moderna’s vaccine. But it took nearly a decade to get to Phase 3 trial, demonstrating the lack of urgency around most vaccine development.
