Weekly Update April 7th

I was out of the office on the East Coast last week, but I hear that Hand Foot Mouth was running rampant around here.
Last week we also saw some Strep Throat.

Today most of my phone calls were kids with some loose stools.
There are also still lots of coughs and colds out there.

The RSV viral load statistics show that that is finally slowing down.

I had some questions recently wondering if there was any updates about the mystery virus that was in the news last month.
The SF public health Department sends us a Health Advisory if there is anything new showing up.
We have gotten reports of a new and scary Meningococcal disease among men having sex with other men down in the LA area.
We have also gotten reports of more measles cases in the Bay Area.
There has been nothing more at all reported about that odd Polio like virus.
That was very rare, and had zero cases in SF.

Have a healthy week and enjoy this wonderful weather.
Judy
