Every Season: COVID-19, Flu, RSV

Posted by Staff on August 24, 2023 - 9:06am

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 1959, Pete Seeger wrote the lyrics to Turn! Turn! Turn! referred to as To Everything There is a Season. The song is based on the first eight verses of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes. The song was first released by the Limeliters, but became a hit when the Byrds released it. The song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 4, 1965. 

Don Henley inducted the Byrds into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. The band performed another one of their hits, Mr. Tambourine Man for the ceremony. One of the more famous original members was David Crosby who played guitar and provided vocals. He later was a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash. The music world lost this icon in January, 2023.  

Speaking of seasons and turning–we are heading into flu and RSV season. COVID-19 does not seem to have a distinct season especially with the recent uptick in hospitalized cases. It is difficult to get accurate numbers since routine testing and reporting is not being recorded for cases, so hospital visits are our best indicator of COVID-19 spread.
