[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. We never stopped life for RSV before and should not now. And sounds like those kids won’t be infectious anyway. [/quote] This simply isn't true. Preemies long have been given monthly shots to prevent RSV (my 20 year old got them), and preemies born in RSV season are kept away from people because of RSV. and the only reason more kids don't get it is because it is outrageously expensive. People just never really focused on these illnesses before COVID, but that doesn't mean it exist or didn't change anyone's behavior or lives. Each year in the United States, RSV leads to approximately: 2.1 million outpatient (non-hospitalization) visits among children younger than 5 years old.(1) 58,000-80,000 hospitalizations among children younger than 5 years old.(2,3) 60,000-120,000 hospitalizations among adults 65 years and older.(4,5) 6,000-10,000 deaths among adults 65 years and older.(6,7) 100–300 deaths in children younger than 5 years old.(7)[/quote]
