Dartmouth Health says there has been an unprecedented increase in children with RSV

CONTRACTED BY THE COVID PANDEMIC HOURS. V IS A COMMON RESPIRATORY VIRUS, A VARIETY. SOMETIMES WE CALL A COLD OR BRONCHITIS. AND ACCORDING TO THE HEAD OF DARTMOUTH HEALTH, IT HAS A TENDENCE TO AFFECT INFANTS AND YOUNG TODDLER CHILDREN WHOSE AIRWAYS ARE SMALL, MAKING BREATHING VERY DIFFICULT AT TIMES. BUT HE CALLS THIS SEASON AMAZING. THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL WINTER AND WE SAY RECORD NUMBERS OF CHILDREN. UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE TO APPEAR IN EMERGENCY ROOMS AND HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE IN INPATIENT UNITS WHILE RECEIVING CONTINUED REPORTS OF A LACK OF PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE UNIT BEDS IN THE REGION. HE RELEASES A MESSAGE TO REASSURE THE PUBLIC OF STEPS THAT ARE TAKEN TO MAINTAIN CHILDREN. THIS UNPRECEDENTED RISE FROM ENSURING AVAILABILITY IN ITS NETWORK TO EXPANDING THE SPACE IN THE STATIONARY UNIT CHAD. OUR TRANSPORT TEAMS ARE ALSO ON-RUN TO ENSURE MOST CRITICAL CHILDREN CAN ACCESS OUR CRITICAL CARE IN CHAD AND THAT THESE SERVICES ARE AS AVAILABLE AS POSSIBLE. And his pediatric experts are sure to work with other hospitals in the state to ensure that suitable equipment is available, children should be seen in emergency rooms and hospitals, their community and capable parties to sometimes let these children in hospitals, where they may not typically see WILL. HE SAYS THERE IS NO VACCINE AGAINST RSV SO IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE REST OF US TO GET VACCINATIONS FOR RESPIRATORY VIRUSES WHO HAVE VACCINATIONS AND STAY AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN WHEN WE ARE SICK, EVEN IF WE FAIL. OK. REPORTING
