Summer is in our rearview mirror and fall is here. Shorter days, cooler temperatures, leaves changing, football back on tv, there is a lot to love about fall. Unfortunately, sweater weather means more than pumpkin spice lattes and the NFL on Sundays, it also means the beginning of respiratory illness season.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it appears this year\u2019s respiratory illness season is off to an early start:<\/a><\/p>\n

Common respiratory illnesses tend to go hand in hand with the end of summer and start of fall, when students are back in the classroom and germs spread from kids to families and colleagues.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Before you know it, everyone in your circle is reaching for a tissue.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The traditional start of the season for the common cold, influenza and RSV is on the horizon, but cases of COVID-19 are ticking upward.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This uptick in COVID cases is the first rise since spring:<\/p>\n

For the first time since March, cases of coronavirus have seen increases in every state, with the sharpest rises in the<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>South and West<\/em><\/a>, according to<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The CDC’s National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System, or NREVSS, is a lab-based system that monitors respiratory and enteric virus activity across the U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hospitalizations and deaths from COVID remain low, but health experts predict cases will continue to climb as immunity declines from earlier vaccinations and infections.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not Just COVID<\/strong><\/p>\n

The start of respiratory illness season isn\u2019t just about the return of COVID, it\u2019s also about the return of the common cold, RSV, and \u2013 of course \u2013 the flu.<\/p>\n

While these are different illnesses, they are transmitted in much the same ways, according to Dr. Peter McCullough:<\/a><\/p>\n

These viruses spread through three primary routes:<\/em><\/p>\n

Droplet<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 Coughing and sneezing launch virus-laden particles that land on mucosal surfaces. A single sneeze produces ~40,000 droplets traveling at ~100 mph.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fomite<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 Rhinovirus survives hours on doorknobs, phones, keyboards. You touch, you transfer to eyes\/nose\/mouth, you\u2019re infected. This is arguably the dominant route for rhinovirus specifically.<\/em><\/p>\n

Direct contact<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 Handshakes, hugs, close-quarters conversations. Skin-to-skin then skin-to-face.<\/em><\/p>\n

Incubation is typically 24\u201372 hours. Peak contagiousness occurs during the first 2\u20133 days of symptoms. Even though there may be more congestion on days 5-7, there is less spread. The average adult logs 2\u20134 colds annually; children in daycare can hit 6\u20138.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not only are the paths of transmission similar, many of the symptoms are so similar that they can be difficult at times to tell one from the other.<\/p>\n

Some symptoms are hard to distinguish among illnesses, especially with respiratory viruses. Others are unmistakable.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 The<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>common cold<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>can be caused by several different types of viruses and can cause a runny nose, congestion, cough, sneezing, sore throat, headaches, body aches or low fever for less than a week.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 The<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>flu<\/em><\/a>, caused by influenza viruses that are always changing, leads to fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headaches and feeling tired. Flu symptoms tend to hit more quickly than cold symptoms, and can last anywhere from a few days to two weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>COVID-19<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>can cause fever, chills, cough, short of breath, sore throat, congestion, loss of smell or taste, fatigue, aches, headache, nausea, or vomiting for several days.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>RSV<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>can cause a runny nose, congestion, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, fever and a loss of appetite for a week or two.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last Year Trump Stockpiled Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result of last year\u2019s horrific respiratory illness season, marked by one of the worst flu seasons in decades,\u00a0President Trump<\/strong> directed the federal government to accumulate essential pharmaceuticals, such as antivirals and the components of more than 80 vital medications.<\/p>\n

“To prevent shortages in the future, we are accumulating a six-month supply of essential medications.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 White House Fact Sheet, September 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the Trump administration thinks stocking up on meds is a good idea, doesn\u2019t it make sense for you to do the same?<\/p>\n
