An unusually strong wave of RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is prompting calls for a federal action plan as pediatric hospitalizations connected to the illness soar in New York and New Jersey.
, or respiratory syncytial virus, is prompting calls for a federal action plan as pediatric hospitalizations connected to the illness soar in New York and New Jersey -- with a complicated flu season still ahead.
RSV is a common cause of cold-like symptoms that most of us get as toddlers, but it can be serious for infants and for vulnerable elderly who may not have had it or somehow get it again. At Cohen Children's Medical Center in Queens, 300 babies or kids are being admitted daily -- and doctors say the crush is pushing hospital bed capacity to the brink.
Locally, RSV rates are about 15% in New York and New Jersey and 10% in Connecticut. The trends are concerning enough that elected officials, health leaders and advocates alike are calling for more broad-based federal action. Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, issued a preemptive call to action over the weekend, asking that the federal government step in to help if and when New York children's hospitals become overwhelmed by the RSV surge.Snapshot: RSV Rates in New York, New Jersey, ConnecticutConnecticut RSV data via CDC2.
