America is facing a shortage of four key medications used for common illnesses in children as virus season comes back in full force. Health authorities are warning that RSV, the flu and COVID are combining to create a "tripledemic", and there are simply not enough medications to go around.
A children’s Tylenol shortage has spread to the United States
- Pharmacists in multiple American cities have warned of a shortage of the drug due to a spike in pediatric sickness caused by COVID-related lockdowns
- This is the first time in all my years that I have heard of such a shortage in the US
This is going to be one long winter for our medical system
- Hospital beds are rapidly filling up all over the nation
- The reason for shortages is due to increased demand, especially with a surge in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and flu cases
- More than 100,000 Americans missed work last month because of child-care problems
The Biden administration has decided to give another 4.5 billion dollars to Ukraine instead
- Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new $400 million military aid package to Ukraine on Wednesday
- The package will include "additional arms, munitions, and air defense equipment from U.S. Department of Defense inventories."
We have entered an era of great pestilences
- This year we have seen the bird flu kill tens of millions of our chickens and turkeys, a global monkeypox epidemic has spread all over the globe, and now RSV and the flu are ripping across the nation.
