Health Officials Warn Of ‘Septa-Demic’ Over Respiratory Problems

(Richmond)- Following surging cases of COVID-19, influenza and RSV, health officials are warning of a so-called “septa-demic” ahead of the holiday season. Officals say most of us can get through them within days but elderly patients with chronic respiratory or lung issues, and cancer patients are vulnerable to serious issues. Aside from mask-wearing, social distance and regular hygiene and hand washing, health officials say everyday health and fitness plays a major role in battling these respiratory illnesses.
