CDC Says Flu Cases Rising As RSV Infections Fade

The AP (12/1, Stobbe) reported the CDC announced that “flu is picking up steam while RSV lung infections that can hit kids and older people hard may be peaking.” The agency “is also looking into reports of pneumonia outbreaks in children in two states,” although COVID-19 “continues to cause the most hospitalizations and deaths among respiratory illnesses – about 15,000 hospitalizations and about 1,000 deaths every week.”
