Elizabeth Cohen: ‘Wearing a Mask Will Protect Against the Flu, and RSV, and Covid’

‘It’s things like getting a flu shot, so important’

EXCERPT:

COHEN: “So all of the advice that I'm going to give you, you have heard it before. There is nothing new under the Sun. It's very basic stuff. It's things like getting a flu shot -- so important. Washing your hands frequently. And if you want to -- no one's advising you to -- but if you want to certainly wearing a mask is going to help protect you against the flu, not to mention things like RSV, and Covid and other respiratory diseases. As you mentioned, flu hospitalizations at a high right now for this point in the season. Such an early flu season. If you look all the way to the right, you can see a bar that represents the rate now. All the rates over the past 10 years way lower at this point in the season.”
