New York mayor: Holiday virus spike ‘extremely challenging’

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said simultaneous surges of COVID-19, flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have created an “extremely challenging” health situation for the city.

The city indicated flu cases are already higher than they were during the peak each of the past four years, also noting increases over the past month in COVID-19 and RSV cases.

“This year, particularly around the flu, from the briefing we received, the numbers are higher than it traditionally is around this year,” Adams said at a Tuesday news conference. “When you combine it with the other elements that we are facing, the other RSVs, COVID-19, it just makes it extremely challenging for New Yorkers. But we can get it done right if we get covered.”

City officials earlier this month advised the public to wear masks when indoors and in crowded outdoor spaces.

“I encourage all eligible New Yorkers to keep up with their vaccinations, to utilize free testing resources available citywide, to wear masks as advised, to stay home if sick, and to maintain good hand hygiene,” Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom said in a statement. “The holiday season is a wonderful time of year to gather with friends and family, and we want to embrace our loved ones this year knowing we have taken all the steps possible to keep us all safe and healthy.”

Masketerbators’ brains have atrophied due to mask-induced hypoxia.
