So, with RSV, influenza and COVID-19 making hell for health care workers, we can do our part. Stop transmission of respiratory viruses. First, get vaccinated for flu and COVID and be up-to-date with boosters. 1/
If you're sick stay home (yes, I want universal sick pay and realized it's not possible to do stay home for many, but if you can do it, do it). 2/
Try to avoid crowded public spaces where you can transmit or catch any of these viruses. 3/
Open the windows, let fresh air in, invest in an air purifier or a CR box. 4/
And put on a damn mask. I am not the boss of you, I am not trying to limit your liberty or fool with your freedom, but an N95 will protect you and others around you. It's your choice, you can protect yourself and others or decide, well, no, I'd prefer not to. 5/
But pediatric ICUs are at the breaking point, flu is outta control, COVID has been on the rise since Thanksgiving and RSV while perhaps plateauing is still creating havoc. 6/
So, we're not helpless against #COVID19, #RSVirus or #influenza, but it means we need to pitch in. Each of us. 7/
You may be tired of the pandemic, in the you-do-you mode, think you're vaxxed and relaxed, but somewhere in the US tonight a kid needs an ICU bed and this triple-demic is creating a crisis for our littlest ones, which you can help fight. If you want to do it. end/
