Warning over ‘contagious’ virus in possible tripledemic ‘worse than Covid’

However, parents are certainly concerned by the prospect of soaring RSV cases this winter. Victoria Fuller, a mum-of-one, told Express.co.uk: “My daughter has had five bugs in the space of eight weeks – at least three of those have been of the respiratory kind.

“It’s a scary time for parents who are trying to be vigilant against these extra illnesses going around, but at the same time, life has to go on. No nursery would mean no work for me – and with the cost of living crisis well underway, that’s just not an option.”

And while RSV infection is common in children, the UKSHA has previously warned that antibodies that develop following early childhood infection do not prevent further RSV infections throughout life.

Speaking about the tripledemic, Emeritus Professor Ron Eccles told the Daily Mail: “When lots of people get ill at the same time, and particularly during the winter, the pressure on health services can be very intense.”
