You may have noticed anecdotally that a lot of friends, family, neighbors, and kids seem to be cropping up with variants of fever, body aches, vomiting, and diarrhea – and you wouldn’t be wrong. As of last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control was showing that Maryland wastewater was showing double the national average of viral activity. And hospitalizations have more than doubled in the past month, from 60 to 135. Thankfully, most activity is not to the level requiring hospitalization, but it is something to be aware of out there and to help take care of yourselves and others.
