Triple-demic???

A respiratory virus that’s dangerous for young children is on the rise.

RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, shows up every year. But this year, it’s much earlier than expected.

UW Associate Professor Dr. Helen Chu is here to talk us through this surge and why it’s happening now.
