Last week, I received 2 emails from Calvert Internal Med Group within a couple of days - 1 was "we recommend masking" since Flu, RSV, and COVID cases are on the rise. The 2nd one was mando masking required. To their credit - CIMG included ALL 3 of those viruses, and due to people spending more time together inside in closer quarters when the weather is cold. This is not really news, it happens yearly, as we all know. And the Flu Type A is rampant right now, and extremely contagious.
I know a family that went to PA for Christmas, and the hubs was coming down with something - didn't know it was the flu. (TypeA) He had 101.5 temp by the next day and was so sick he had to go to Urgent Care. The entire family came home within hours and all of them (3 others) were sick, plus the elderly parents they went to vist got the Flu, too. All of them were pretty sick for a week.
