MAP: Emergency room visits for respiratory illnesses are soaring in these states
SUMMARY: As the New Year begins, many states are experiencing a surge in hospital visits due to respiratory illnesses, with emergency department visits for influenza and RSV reaching “very high” levels according to the CDC. The states most affected include Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Pediatric hospitals have been especially busy since November, as RSV cases rise alongside influenza infections. Symptoms for RSV, flu, and COVID-19 overlap, making diagnosis challenging. Health officials recommend annual flu vaccinations and good hygiene practices to protect against these illnesses. Additionally, the CDC is monitoring outbreaks of norovirus and sporadic cases of bird flu, though the public risk remains low.
