Flu, RSV starting to circulate but cases remain lower than last year: CDC_我的网站

A |     中新网北京8月24日电(记者 李京统)近日，河北张家口康保县部分大白菜在装车前蘸取甲醛溶液保鲜的视频引发舆论关注。事件曝光后，康保县发布通报，确认视频反映情况属实，系收购商为蔬菜运输保鲜，在装运过程中的违法行为。    Influenza and other respiratory viruses are starting to circulate but so far remain lower than this time last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.As of Oct. 7, CDC's FluView weekly report showed that the percent of flu cases were relatively unchanged, rising about 1% compared to the week prior.In that same timeframe, 1,127 people were hospitalized with influenza, up from 1,050 people the week prior. About 35% of all flu hospitalizations were reported in the southeast of the U.S., which experts say is a typical trend at the start of the flu season.Most of the flu cases detected were Influenza A and the most common subtype was Influenza A(H1N1), which is the strain of the virus that the flu vaccine usually offers better protection from, according to the CDC.The percent of all reported respiratory viruses circulating over the past week have been relatively unchanged nationally, but there is regional variability. Region 9 -- made up of Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada -- was the only region that saw an increase.Still, the numbers in all regions of the U.S. remain below their baseline and outpatient respiratory illness activity is either minimal or low throughout most of the U.S., according to the CDC.Alaska is the only state that is currently experiencing moderate respiratory illness activity. Influenza typically circulates this time of year and peaks between December and February for most of the U.S., according to the CDC.Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) numbers are on the rise and are projected to increase further, according to the CDC's weekly surveillance. RSV typically circulates from October to April, according to the CDC.

How to prepare for this year's cold and flu season

This time last year, the U.S. was bracing for a "tripledemic" amid rising cases of COVID-19, influenza and RSV after the seasons became more unpredictable during the COVID-19 pandemic.Dr. John Brownstein, chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital and an ABC News contributor, said these early cases are behaving in a more predictable pattern."The data is pointing to something a little bit more par for the course. We're seeing the early rise of RSV and flu at a time when you'd expect it," Brownstein said.Brownstein, however, cautioned that cases of respiratory viruses are expected to increase further and higher levels still have potential to strain health systems and cause severe illnesses, Brownstein said."I think there's still concern around the threat of all three respiratory viruses plus, of course, the rest of the seasonal mix [of viral illnesses], wreaking havoc on our health systems," he said.Experts are hopeful that new and updated immunizations that protect against COVID-19, influenza and RSV will stave off the strain on health care systems.These viruses may only cause mild illness for many people, but young babies, pregnant women, people who are immunocompromised and the elderly are at highest risk for severe disease.Everyone 6 months and older is eligible for an updated COVID-19 shot and the annual flu vaccine.The Department of Health and Human Services told ABC News that, so far, more than 7 million updated COVID-19 shots have been administered. The CDC recommends getting the COVID-19 and flu vaccines by the end of October and encourages both to be given at the same time.Adults who are 60 years and older can get an RSV vaccine and pregnant women who are in their third trimester can get an RSV shot that provides protection against RSV to their baby for the first 6 months of life.Babies less than 8 months old who are born to mothers who did not get an RSV vaccine during pregnancy can get a protective shot called nirsevimab that offers about five months of protection against RSV.Nirsevimab is a one-dose shot made of monoclonal antibodies, which are proteins manufactured in a lab and mimic the antibodies the body naturally creates when fighting an infection. This is different than a vaccine, which activates the immune system.Brownstein said the pandemic has helped make many health systems better prepared for seasonal spikes in respiratory viruses and is hopeful that people are more motivated to stay up to date on shots that are available for protection and prevention this respiratory virus season."Now is really the time to get the protection advanced of the seasons really heating up," Brownstein said.Dr. Jade A Cobern, M.D., M.P.H, a licensed and practicing physician, is a member of the ABC News Medical Unit.。                        　　表面上看是为了“卖相”，实则是将利益凌驾于消费者的健康之上，为一己私利出卖良知。

B | 这种行为，不是不懂法，而是明知故犯；不是疏忽大意，而是利欲熏心。         　　“甲醛白菜”，触碰的是民生红线。此次事件曝光后引发了公众的连锁担忧：这样的“甲醛白菜”我们已经吃了多少年？已经流入了哪些地方？除了白菜，还有多少蔬菜可能藏着类似的“保鲜秘方”？食品安全问题之所以牵动人心，正是因为关乎每一个人的一日三餐，关乎最基础的健康保障。当一颗再普通不过的大白菜都可能成为健康隐患，公众的焦虑便不难理解。

C |          　　此事也抛出了一个尖锐的追问：既然一位自媒体博主都能发现“甲醛白菜”，监管的“鼻子”为何“嗅不到”？是商家手段高明、蒙混过关，还是日常抽查流于形式、监管存在盲区？监管的缺位，某种程度上纵容了违法者的侥幸心理。         　　守护食品安全，既要治“标”，更要治“本”。眼下最迫切的，是顺着生产、运输、销售链条一查到底，尽快查清问题白菜流向，最大限度减少危害扩散。同时，必须让违法者付出沉重代价，提高违法成本，彻底“打疼”那些敢在食品安全上动手脚的人。更重要的是，监管必须关口前移，从“事后灭火”转向“事前预防”，在田间地头、在批发市场、在流通环节织密检测网络，让问题农产品无处遁形。         　　“甲醛白菜”事件再次敲响警钟：食品安全这根弦，任何时候都松不得。唯有以最严谨的标准、最严格的监管、最严厉的处罚、最严肃的问责，才能守护好人民群众“舌尖上的安全”。任何对食品安全的轻视与敷衍，最终都会透支公众信任，付出沉重代价。         　　让百姓吃得安心，这是最基本的民生工程、民心工程，也是最不容失守的底线。(完) 【编辑:张子怡】。
