What you need to know about the RSV virus as cases surge across the country
Daily Mail ^ | 7/7/23 | Olivia Day

Posted on 07/07/2023 4:25:26 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

A dangerous and highly contagious disease with no vaccine is spreading across Australia in record numbers this winter.

Experts have warned cases of RSV...recorded at 10 times the number than the same time last year.

.....

It is a similar story for other states and territories, with the exception of Queensland, which reported 16,332 confirmed cases of RSV from the start of the year to June 26.

Here, Daily Mail Australia reveals everything you need to know about RSV.

RSV stands for respiratory syncytial virus that targets the lungs and respiratory tract.

It is one of the major causes of lung infection in adults and children and can lead to more serious illnesses like pneumonia or bronchiolitis.

RSV is one of the most common causes of the common cold with runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, fever and headache.

Most people recover in one to two weeks, however others can be hospitalised.

What are the symptoms of RSV in adults?

The respiratory virus causes cold-like symptoms like runny nose, cough, sneezing, fever, wheezing, decreased appetite and fatigue.

Symptoms usually appear about five days after exposure and can get worse during the first three to four days with the illness.

What are the RSV symptoms for babies?

Babies under the age of one are more likely to develop breathing problems like pneumonia or bronchiolitis with RSV.

Infants can appear unsettled and have difficulty feeding.

Parents are encouraged to take their child to their GP if their cough worsens, they have less than half of their normal feeds, are refusing food and drink or if they seem very tired and are more sleepy than usual.

Parents should take their child to their closest emergency department if their baby is having difficulty breathing or are drawing in their chest with each breath.

Hey Dumbass World Medical Experts.

“What are the symptoms of RSV in adults? The respiratory virus causes cold-like symptoms like runny nose, cough, sneezing, fever, wheezing, decreased appetite and fatigue.”

You EXPERTS have been calling these exact same symptoms THE FLU for 100 years. It happens in “the winter.” GFYs and STOP all this insane Fear Porn. Note to CDC, FDA, NIH, etc., GFY too!!!

I think my neighbors have it and they can’t figure out why it doesn’t go away.

Probably because last year it was called Covid.

You don’t need to know anything about widespread respiratory viruses other than they generally cause cold/flu like symptoms and, the other captain obvious, that if you are elderly or infirm, you are more likely to suffer a poorer prognosis.

So when you start getting the sniffles, just wipe your nose on your sleeve, sneeze in the grocery store and otherwise go about your business. This will bolster herd immunity.

I’m so scared I can’t wait for the vaccine to come out and my whole family will self quarantine and wear masks until the government says it’s safe to come out. /sarc/

There’s a percentage of democrats still wearing the mask and getting all the covid boosters they can find. I have a feeling those most susceptible to fall for the covid scam will be the ones scared to death about this RSV, ie the common cold.

For your terrified lib friends ... “RSV is one of the most common causes of the common cold with runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, fever and headache.

Most people recover in one to two weeks.”

Or three days, like a cold.

Symptons and severity vary by individual.

Could this be the bug they have developed that will attack the “spike protein” and kill off many of those who received the mRNA Vacc? You know that the aim of all of this is simple - They want us dead.

I'm terrified!! I've been jabbing myself with needles all morning, hoping to fool the virus into thinking that I've been vaccinated. I think it's working, 'cause I still don't have any symptoms, except for a good deal of pain and bleeding in my upper right arm and slight wooziness from loss of blood.

But at least I won't get RSV!

I’m pretty sure my wife and I had this recently. We are in our 60s. Bad cold, chills and sweats, fatigue. Didn’t like it. Got better. It’s a cold. It’s not interesting.

Here too, and I’ve got it.
Blocked sinuses, slight cough, it should pass in a couple days.
I’ve always called it a “cold”.
