Description
Wei Luo and co-authors present a 2023 study on the triple-demic winter in the United States. In the winter of 2022, flu, RSV, and COVID-19 surged together and strained hospitals. The team mapped where and when the three outbreaks overlapped across all fifty-one states and territories.
They used space-time scan methods that look both backward and forward in time. Compared with the prior winter, COVID-19 fell while flu and RSV rose sharply. A large high-risk cluster covering all three diseases emerged in the central states in late November 2022. The number of states at high risk for several epidemics grew from fifteen in October to twenty-one by January. The method offers a template for joint outbreak watch.
