About this listen
Seasonal patterns, the spread of respiratory viruses, and other environmental factors might all be contributing reasons to the alarming reports of record-high respiratory diseases in various states. The following are some possible causes of this increase:
1. **Seasonal Respiratory Viruses**: Fall and winter are frequently the times when respiratory diseases are most common. Viruses like influenza, coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) might cause a rise in respiratory infections during these periods.
2. **COVID-19 Variants**: SARS-CoV-2 virus variations may be a factor in increases in respiratory illnesses, particularly if they are more contagious or circumvent immunity from prior infections or immunizations.
3. **Influenza Activity**: More respiratory ailments may also arise throughout the flu season.
