Consider This from NPR

Hospitals around the country are overwhelmed, but this time it's not just with COVID.
Cases of the flu and RSV are also spiking earlier this year.  
We hear from a pediatrician in Seattle who says it is the worst season she's seen in her 16-year career. 
And NPR's Rob Stein reports on what infectious disease specialists recommend to stay healthy this season.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
