Since Oct. 1, there have been 525 children and 29 adults hospitalized with RSV. The hospitalization rate is currently higher than it was at any other point in the past four RSV seasons, CDPHE said. via PattrikPerez
"[It's] a pretty unusual, severe RSV season that we're experiencing currently," CDPHE State Epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy said.
"It's earlier than usual to see levels of hospitalizations this high and also much higher than we typically see," Herlihy said. "To put it mildly, we are seeing a very early and intense start to both the RSV and flu seasons, and our emergency departments and inpatient units are really managing patient volumes like we've never seen before," said Dr. Kevin Carney, associate chief medical officer at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
"Despite all these efforts, patients and their families are currently experiencing significantly longer wait times in our emergency departments due to the sheer volume of people seeking care," Carney said.
