RSV: Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Yeah, I can't pronounce it either.
 
 
Cheryl and I both got it last week from our grandson Calvin (we keep him 3 days a week). It has not been fun. Rather "flu"-like in the aggregate. There've been times since last Thursday when I thought I was gonna cough up a kidney. Not out of the woods yet. A NY Times article on RSV this morning noted that it was odd for it to be spiking in the summer, being mostly a late fall - winter thing.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE U.S. COVID19 DELTA HOUSE
 
 
A careening July-Aug "Delta Swerve."

SNARK ERRATA
AND, THEN...
Something very strange has been happening in Missouri: A hospital in the state, Ozarks Healthcare, had to create a “private setting” for patients afraid of being seen getting vaccinated against COVID-19. In a video produced by the hospital, the physician Priscilla Frase says, “Several people come in to get vaccinated who have tried to sort of disguise their appearance and even went so far as to say, ‘Please, please, please don’t let anybody know that I got this vaccine.’” Although they want to protect themselves from the coronavirus and its variants, these patients are desperate to ensure that their vaccine-skeptical friends and family never find out what they have done.
Sad.
