NPR asked a handful of public health experts how to approach a holiday season with not one but three respiratory pathogens helping fill hospitals: COVID, the flu and RSV.
That makes staying home when sick"one of the most profoundly important things we can do this holiday season to keep other people safe," said Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California San Francisco."That means not going to that holiday party when you're coughing and sneezing."
"If you are diagnosed early, we have antivirals that can be used to shorten your disease course and your disease severity," Walensky said."I consider ventilation one of the strongest things we can do to protect ourselves during respiratory pathogen season," said Gandhi. Not everything can realistically be moved outdoors. Many social gatherings and religious services will be indoors. For family members traveling long distances to see each other, spending a lot of time indoors together is inescapable.
