My Favorite Epidemiologist on navigating viruses during the holidays!

We now have not only COVID but also Flu and RSV. Here are some steps which may help you avoid getting ill and spending more time with your family (that’s if you want to!)

Steps to consider:

  • Vaccination (consider all 3 – Flu, Covid & if over 65, RSV)
  • Immunity from prior infection (šŸ™)
  • Masks
  • Ventilation (open windows, meet outside)
  • Filtration

Contagious Period from Symptom Onset

  • Flu: 5 to 7 days after symptoms
  • -RSV: 3 to 8 days
  • -Covid: 6-10 days

Treatment

  • Paxlovid, especially if over 65
