The Ebola outbreak erupting from the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to escalate wildly, with cases nearing 750, deaths reported at 177, and around 1,400 contacts now being traced, the World Health Organization reported in a press briefing Friday. The latest numbers already place the outbreak as the third largest on record, though it was only first reported a week ago, on May 15. And WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak is still “spreading rapidly.” #ebola #EbolaOutbreak #DRC #Africa #Virus #Virology #PublicHealth

I have been a pediatric ICU / CCT nurse for over 3 decades now. In California respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season was from around November to say March in bad seasons.

Now as the article points out AND judging by the number of kids we are transporting with it remains high.

The other difference is that we are now seeing combos. In the past you would get say RSV in isolation and now we are seeing it combined with say Human metapneumovirus or other types. These poor kiddo's are getting hit hard and it seems we are stretching into a year round endemic situation #RSV #virus #respiratory #healthcare
