Experts warn RSV could join Covid and flu winter virus mix

At the start of the autumn, experts warned that the UK could be hit by two viruses this winter, Covid and flu. Also known as a twindemic, this caused great concern among both the health and scientific community amid fears it could put pressure on the NHS and the health system as a whole. Fast forward to November and experts are warning of a ‘tripledemic’ of flu, COVID-19 and, RSV.

However, before we understand those conditions, it is key to understand what a tripledemic is. A tripledemic is like a twindemic except instead of two waves of two viruses hitting at the same time, three waves of three viruses hit at the same time.
