Let's talk about viruses.
You know that feeling when you send your kid to daycare,
and they invariably come back with some cold or flu or some virus?
Well, it looks like a lot of kids are coming back with a new virus.
That's because the human metapneumovirus, otherwise known as HMPV,
is spreading across the U.S. right now.
Its symptoms are pretty much identical to that of the common cold,
including things like a cough, fever, sore throat, as well as nasal and chest congestion.
According to the CDC's National Surveillance System, the one that tracks these viruses,
HMPV is really currently on the rise.
By the end of March, in nationwide tests that were positive for respiratory viruses,
6.3% of them were positive for HMPV, which is lower than influenza,
but notably, it's higher than COVID-19, roughly three times higher.
Moving along, though, speaking of new types of viruses,
there is a new variant of COVID that has recently emerged across 25 different states.
The official name for this new variant is BA.3.2,
and it's an offshoot of the Omicron strain of SARS-CoV-2.
