The number of COVID-19 cases in Illinois is expected to hit a nearly 10-month high by next week.
The flu, RSV and COVID-19 are all colliding at hospitals across Illinois in a so-called"triple threat" or"tripledemic," and healthcare workers are scrambling to keep up as some hospitalization numbers reach what we haven't seen since last year.
If it seems like everyone is sick with something, it may not just be chalked up to that time of year. "We started with COVID hospitalizations and then it went to RSV and now it's influenza, so these pediatric ICUs and ERs are just not getting a break," Wallace said. "Now that we are all back throwing ourselves back into the normal way of doing things, we don't have any mitigation in place. There's less population immunity to some of these things," Wallace said.
