In particular, hospitals are seeing a rise in cases of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, a common cold virus that can be associated with severe disease in young children and older adults.
Buchanan said hospital leaders have met with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the National Guard to begin logistic review of putting a mobile field hospital in the front lawn and more work is planned Thursday to determine a final decision and get approval.

I was more of thinking about the immune system (post jab) being weakened in children.
That's a good point for the debate; these viruses have been around for a long time....so, why the rise in cases all of a sudden? And along with all these other "mysterious illnesses and deaths" that have been going on around the world? All simply explained? Plz....enlighten us more...a reply to: chr0naut

And yet it was so serious that people had to deal with social, governmental, and corporate coercion to get vaccinated for it, and have even voted to add it to the list of childhood vaccinations.
A study by Bardsley and colleagues published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases in September 2022 modeled the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions targeting COVID-19 on the epidemiology of RSV in England. Bardsley and colleagues found that at the start of the pandemic, cases of RSV fell sharply during the 2020–21 winter, followed by a substantial increase in transmission over the following summer. The study found that this was followed by a dramatic surge in RSV activity in 2021, including a 10.7% rise in hospital admissions and 11,225 extra lab-confirmed cases, equating to an increase of 1,258%. The move away from COVID-19 restrictions enabled the virus to return to more seasonal and typical transmission patterns, particularly in an immunologically naïve population.
