According to CDC, the US is in a flu epidemic now. Facing a “triple epidemic” of COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) simultaneously. CDC estimates there have been at least 1 6...
Many of these same characteristics have previously been demonstrated for influenza and other common respiratory viruses. These data provide a useful theoretical framework for possible aerosol-based transmission for SARS-CoV-2, but what is less clear is the extent to which these characteristics lead to...
In reference to influenza pandemics, but nonetheless applicable to many communicable and vector-borne diseases, the only certainty is in the growing unpredictability of pandemic-potential infectious disease emergence, origins, characteristics, and the biological pathways through which they propagate [3]. ...

Since the SARS-CoV-2 virus first emerged in 2019, its circulation has changed and shifted from a pandemic to seasonal circulation. This coupled with the re-emergence other seasonal pathogens—such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—makes determining the correct infecting pathogen all...

Evidence shows that the circulation of other respiratory viruses, such as influenza, has been negligible in Chile and elsewhere in the southern hemisphere [26]. With 130 total RT-PCR tests per 1000 population by August 31, Chile has tested at a higher rate than any other Latin American ...
