Viruses that were on hiatus during Covid are back, behaving in unexpected ways
It is RSV immunity debt that worries me. I think it's an example of our poor capability for risk analysis. I talk to so many parents here in California that are terrified of covid for their kids. So they still limit activities. But statistically kids have very, very low risk. RSV, and even flu, on the other hand are more dangerous for kids and any immunity debt may make that worse.<p>It reminds me of how few parents realize the statistical risk of kids in cars versus how rare abduction is (if kid walks alone to school as an alternative to a car, for example). Again it is emotional/anecdotal thinking rather than data.
