Brace yourself for the 'Tripledemic'!

Incoming! Take cover!! It's the viral contagion trifecta:

BETHESDA, Md. — As we head toward Halloween, health experts are sharing a scary new word. They're calling the risk of surging COVID, influenza, and RSV a "tridemic" or "tripledemic."

It's already hit some schools and threatens to again overwhelm hospitals.

"RSV is probably the scariest experience we've had as parents," said Darcy Whelan Slayton, a southern Maryland mom whose 18-month-old son, August, has been hit by a seemingly non-stop wave of respiratory viruses.

"His first week of daycare, he came home sick on Friday of week one. It turned out he had RSV, which turned out to be RSV and the flu and also an ear infection. And it just sort of spreads like wildfire. And every week we're wondering how people do this."

Medical experts warn that COVID to flu and another infection called respiratory syncytial virus could make for a triple damage this winter cover cases are rising in Europe which usually precedes a spike here in the US where winning immunity is already a concern the flu season has also begun earlier in some areas here and is expected to soar over the coming weeks and R. S. V. which has similar symptoms to both is overwhelming some pediatric hospitals one expert described these viruses as coming back with a vengeance after more than 2 years of quarantine and social distancing at one extreme was an outbreak of flu like and gastrointestinal symptoms at a Virginia high school that kept more than 1000 kids home last week while cases of these triple Deming viruses are likely to be mild they have the potential to sickened millions of Americans and strained hospitals well there is no vaccine for RSV officials urge everyone who can to get the latest cove it and flu shots to do so.

Everything comes in threes, right?

COVID

FLU

RSV

There you were, being a nice little guy just going on about your business. You couldn't find your last mask that day. You got on the bus, to go get something to eat. While on it you picked up the TRIPLEDEMIC. On the way off you shook the bus drivers hand, and sure enough you got a hold of his Warts. Now you're QUADRUPLEDEMIC infected. Your chicken strips lunch in little China town tasted good, but come to find out not only was it not chicken, but even worse the creature had Monkeypox. Now you have QUINTUPLEDEMIC. While sitting on the bench waiting for the bus, you get bit by a mosquito, giving you West Nile Virus. Now you're SEXTUPLEDEMIC!

It may be some time before you notice the symptoms, but in the meantime you're out spreading your cocktailedemic to your colleagues and loved ones. All because you wouldn't get vaccinated, didn't wear a mask, and went out for lunch.

How many will YOU kill this month?

MONKEYPOX

It’s also possible for people to get monkeypox from infected animals, either by being scratched or bitten by the animal or by preparing or eating meat or using products from an infected animal.

WARTS

Common warts are caused by a virus and are transmitted by touch. It can take a wart as long as two to six months to develop after your skin has been exposed to the virus. Common warts are usually harmless and eventually disappear on their own. But many people choose to remove them because they find them bothersome or embarrassing.

WEST NILE

There are no vaccines to prevent or medications to treat WNV in people. Fortunately, most people infected with WNV do not feel sick. About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About 1 out of 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, illness.

You were warned!

We can be sure it will include a deadlier monkeypox virus, like they created in that Pennsylvania lab
This won't stop until we unite and revolt (revolution).
Enough is enough!

There IS a traditional vaccine for RSV.

However, it is horribly expensive.

My Grandson had them last year before his heart surgery. He would have died before his heart was fixed if he caught RSV.

So his insurance company approved it. It costs $6K and has to be taken once a month during RSV season.

So for my grandson it cost $24,000 for him to be "fully" vaccinated against RSV and it has worn off by now.

It is my understanding that very very few are approved to get the vaccine and it is given only by certain people at certain locations at certain times. Very difficult to obtain as well as horribly expensive.

No "normal" kid is going to be approved for it.

My little nephew who had COVID and was hospitalized recently with RSV has not been approved for the vaccine, because he is not "enough" at risk.

AKA brace yourselves for mail in voting excuses.

They've tried to push the panic button too many times. Mine just doesn't work anymore.
When I start seeing these guys wandering around, I'll worry about a virus.

The Fraud who cried pandemic??

I'm done bracing.

With labs doing gain-of-function microbe "research" in the middle of population centers, might as well kiss it goodbye now and wait for the inevitable.

When this is over, the term "Playing with fire" will be replaced by "Playing with viruses".

Pneumonia and the flu were killing people who also had covid in their bodies, but they did not mention that many of those deaths they attributed to covid also had other contributing factors. I bet if the people tested positive for covid they did not even test for flu or for pneumonia or pluracy or multiple other infections during the early pandemic. Most deaths were from comorbitities during that time...it was not just being overweight or from diabetes either, lots of other diseases were mixed in.....diabetes did not help though, neither did a lot of the medicines that people with these conditions they were treating them for to prevent the conditions from manifesting...like antipsychotics, heart medicines used to try to keep people from having a problem, or certain meds used to stop anxiety and depression.
