“Although the burden is still there, we are starting to see a plateau
Written by ABC AUDIO on December 1, 2022
CONNECTICUT — Reported COVID-19 cases jumped up in Connecticut following the Thanksgiving holiday. The increase comes at a time when the state is also battling a particularly bad flu season and high levels of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections.
The state Department of Public Health reported 3,109 cases over seven days on Thursday. There were 2,223 cases in the prior seven-day report, which ended right before Thanksgiving. It was the first time since mid-October that Connecticut reported more than 3,000 weekly cases.
There were 413 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Thursday, which was an increase of 68 patients from the prior Thursday. The hospital census is the highest it’s been since Oct.26. Overall, nearly 86 percent of inpatient hospital beds are in use in Connecticut as of Thursday, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. About 7 percent are in use for COVID-19
Another 15 COVID-19 associated deaths were reported Thursday, which brought the state total to 11,587.

This winter season will be the first where COVID-19, flu and RSV are competing with each other, DPH Commissioner Dr. Manisha Juthani said in a news briefing earlier this week. Flu and RSV arrived earlier this season. COVID-19 will likely peak sometime in January or February, hopefully after flu and RSV.
Nationally, the number of detected RSV cases dropped after a couple of months of constant growth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cases levels appear to be dropping in Connecticut as well, Juthani said Monday. Hartford County has been hit the hardest by RSV.
“Although the burden is still there, we are starting to see a plateau in Hartford County, and certainly a reduction when we look at the state overall,” Juthani said.
RSV typically causes a cold-like illness, but cases can be severe for some younger children.
Most kids get RSV before their second birthday, but COVID-19 precautions meant that many young children weren’t exposed in the last few years, said Yale Medicine pediatric infectious disease Dr. Thomas Murray in a news release.
“Right now, the problem really is just the volume of sick children. Kids can get quite sick from it, but we know how to help them,” he said. “Children are admitted to the hospital for extra oxygen or other supportive measures such as positive pressure to help with breathing and keep the lungs open.”
Connecticut had high levels of flu activity the week ending Nov. 19, according to the CDC’s latest available information. New Jersey and New York City have very high flu activity levels at that time.
There have been 153 flu hospitalizations to date this season in Connecticut, according to DPH. There were 3,935 cases between Nov. 20-26. One flu-related death has been reported so far this season.
or the first time in history, the biggest tournament in the world will be played in the autumn. Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will start in November of this year instead of the customary summertime tournament due to excessive heat. France is eager to defend its 2018 title as soccer’s best national team, but nations like Belgium, Brazil, Argentina and others are poised to break their hopes of becoming repeat champions.

Storylines are not in short supply heading into the colossal tournament. The United States — after embarrassingly missing out on the 2018 World Cup — is back in the fold this year and is placed alongside England, Iran and Wales in Group B. Elsewhere, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are back to lead their nations (Argentina and Portugal, respectively), in what will likely be their last hurrah at taking home sport’s most prestigious award. All eyes will be on them come tournament time.
Also of note is the fact that Italy, fresh off one of the most dominant runs in country history culminating in the capture of the 2020 EURO tournament championship, failed to qualify for the World Cup this time around. Italy usually poses one of the biggest threats on the international stage but their colors will not be worn in Qatar this year.
