I need a citation that it's "mostly" RSV. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2021/08/12/dallas-fort-worth-out-of-icu-beds-for-children-as-surge-in-covid-19-cases-continues-group-says/ https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2021/08/12/dal... > A record-high number of pediatric COVID-19 patients — 73 — and an unusually large number of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, patients has resulted in the overall occupancy of children’s beds reaching about 95%. Nowhere does it say that it's mostly RSV.
