The unexpected side effects of COVID-19: get ready for a summer cold.
The pandemic left a lasting affect on several other respiratory viruses, which have since switched seasons.Everybody knows you usually don't get a cold in the summer. Fall, winter and spring are much more likely seasons for respiratory viruses to thrive in.
According to Atmar, during the pandemic when people were engaging in protective practices such as washing their hands or remaining socially distant – at least five feet away from each other – these viruses virtually went away. “Over the last few summers, there have been pretty big spikes of RSV, which is not typical,” Chang said. “This was completely turned upside down by COVID-19; it is definitely something to keep an eye on in the next few weeks to see if we have a spike this year.”
