Do you have a source? Would love to learn more. We have a child that’s 8 months old in a similar situation. Need to prepare.

- joshgel 5y agoNot GP, but anecdotally know that there are way more respiratory viruses now (summer in the US) than usual. For data, you might look at RSV trends compared to usual. (Usual is winter spike). https://www.cdc.gov/surveillance/nrevss/rsv/state.html#NY https://www.cdc.gov/surveillance/nrevss/rsv/state.html#NY
- ddek 5y agoNo firm data, my mother is high up in UK health policy so I heard from her. The best thing for your child is for them to socialise as much as possible with other kids. That means they will get sick. In normal times, 2-3% of babies end up in hospital with respiratory infections at some point. Obviously in the short run it sucks, but long run it's healthy.
