The first time I had EVER heard of RSV is end of last year, when there was a report that it was seeing an increase in infection rate in adults across the Northeast. It's also the same time me and my mates all caught and suffered from the thing, and it was not mild.
The summer of my senior year in college and right before going into the military...I did an internship in France and one of the viruses being researched in the lab I worked in was the Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) subtypes (A and B).
Personally, I tend to view RSV as a very bad cold with a ton of mucus in the lungs that can easily result in pneumonia, cause heart inflammation problems, or respiratory problems.
Yet, it's a nasty virus for children and the elderly but we suspected it attacks those with a weakened immune system from a prior (recent) infection from another disease. The prior (recent) disease that we study was the FLU and then individuals that developed RSV after recovering from the FLU. The lab suspected that RSV helped the FLU to create new sub-variants.
- Here's the key today about RSV...it was already on the rise in children soon after Covid hit and long before Covid vaccines. Currently, there's no vaccine for RSV but there are antiviral therapies.
- RSV usually circulates during fall, winter, and spring, but the timing and severity of RSV season will vary from one year to another year.
Are there proteins from the other disease still in the body causing problems with our immune system that's making us susceptible to RSV after recovery from Covid and are there individuals that had a Covid infection that was so mild...they didn't know they had been infected with Covid ?
Now look back in time at all the ET members that bragged about having Covid and saying it was just like having a cold or FLU...nothing to worry about.
- The real Covidiots are the ones that bragged that they had a child that only had a mild illness or just a cough from Covid and that Covid was nothing after their kid quickly recovered from Covid.
Their names do not need to be mentioned because we know who they are and they are the same individuals that posted articles about face mask wear mandates being removed from schools (e.g. high school, elementary) and even daycare facilities as if they won a great victory...making it political as possible as if their freedom had been stepped on.
- Simply, we're a stupid population trying very hard to kill off our future because we still do not understand the medical consequences of making a disease / infection a political issue instead of a health crisis.
Those who are severely ill with RSV will most likely be hospitalized and may require oxygen, or intubation/mechanical ventilation. Most will improve with supportive care and are discharged in a few days after being treated with Palivizumab monoclonal antibody or antiviral therapeutic treatment.
