According to the CDC, Texas is one of five states with a high level of flu.Doctors that raised concerns about RSV a couple weeks ago are now seeing an earlier than usual spike in flu.Greenhill, a private school in Addison, closed grades 7-12 Thursday and Friday, citing an excessive number of absences from a flu-like illness.
Cook Children’s Medical Center Hospital System said its emergency departments and urgent care centers are "overwhelmed." "We haven't had a lot of flu over the last two seasons, and even RSV has been not in its typical pattern," said Dr. Jennifer Shuford, interim commissioner for the Texas Department of State Health Services. "And so there's a lot of people who haven't been exposed naturally to influenza or RSV over the last couple of years."
"So we're quite concerned about the capacity of our health care system to handle all the flu and RSV, plus the COVID-19 that we could see surge here soon," Dr. Shuford said.
