The U.S. is seeing a "quad-demic" as cases of COVID-19, flu, RSV and norovirus spread at the same time. Experts said this is what you need to know.

    Wash your hands. Get your annual vaccines. Better late than never.

        True, but flu and covid vaccines are available for nearly everyone. RSV vaccine is available for certain people where I am.

          Same here in Switzerland, RSV vaccines are available for people aged 60 or over or the pregnant. The other two I got in November.

      Don’t forget, take your ivermectin, consume bleach and find some way of getting sunlight into your body. 😛

    The norovirus is absolutely awful this year. My kid was sick for over 10 days. Definitely wash hands.

      I had it. 2 days. Very sudden onset. Very violent puking.

        Me too! First time in 18 years that I vomited and it was intense.

          Norovirus suuuucks! I had it 2013, when I was doing my turn in our conscription military.

          Usually you get to go home from Saturday morning until Sunday night, but they isolated the sick ones, to make sure we wouldn’t infect others on the way home by train, or at home.

          Lucky for me I got my symptoms when I was home already, so instead I wasn’t allowed to travel back in.

          But the virus was bad. Fluids shooting violently out of both ends and you feel sick as a dog all the while. I think it was intense but at least short. Maybe 3 days or so.

    For the outside looking in, it seems you guys all get really really sick whenever Donald Trump is in charge. I’m not suggesting a connection, but it is weird.

      I see your joke, but covid was under Biden…

      Edit: and, apparently, he’s still in office. What’s the political cycle in the states? I thought orangeman was already elected…

        COVID started under Trump and he tried to pretend like it wasn’t a big deal. Do you not remember him catching COVID while in office?

        Edit: There’s an extremely long lag between elections and taking office in the US since the dates for both at the federal level were established in the late 1700s and we haven’t bothered to change it. Elections at the beginning of November, take office in January.

          I don’t really follow foreign politics like I should, so, no, I don’t remember that. It is interesting, though.

          That is a huge lag. Wow! Thanks for both of those clarifications!

            Nah no worries. Not everyone can know everything.

              Those who “know everything”, never learn anything.

              I work with several like that…

        The first year of covid was under orange man, he becomes acting president in 2 days.

    Can you chaps build that wall already, and please be so kind as to stay unhygienic inside it? And don’t go around blaming Chinese bats this time, I got me eyes on you … from a social distance.
