Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Remember when all we worried about catching was the flu?
Those were the days!
Our lives have been so consumed by COVID-19 that we’ve almost forgotten about the flu completely.
But that doesn’t mean it’s gone away.
And this coming flu season promises to be one unlike any other.
Today, I’ll tell you how to protect yourself from this upcoming threat.
It turns out that wearing masks and social distancing has practically eliminated the flu and the cold this year.
In fact, researchers point to an 80 percent reduction in the number of people with the flu this year.
That means fewer upper respiratory infections and seasonal viruses as well.
While an 80 percent drop in flu cases sounds like good news, it could be bad for a few reasons.
The first is that children are not being exposed to the flu this year. Once again, this sounds like a good thing, but it could lead to something terrible.
If children aren’t exposed to the flu this year, that means that they may not have the immunity to the flu next year. And as you may already know, the flu is most harmful to children as well as seniors.
And now experts fear that the flu will spread rapidly, especially to folks with no built-up immunity.
We’re seeing it already in other countries.
Australia, has already seen an 85 percent decrease of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common upper respiratory infection that often happens during flu season.
Even worse, because there are fewer flu cases, scientists can’t develop an effective flu vaccine since they can’t track the dominant mutations of the virus.
Here’s the truth: we should continue to wear masks and social distance when possible. This is what keeps viruses and flu at bay.
In the meantime, do what you can to keep your immune system strong. Wash your hands, take vitamin D, and wear a mask in public.
