In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin highlights measles outbreaks throughout the continental US, reviews recent statistics on the circulation of respiratory syncytial virus, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 before discussing if vaccination protected children from the development of long COVID or cardiovascular diseases associated with virus infection, revised guidelines SARS-CoV-2 treatment and how to treat respiratory viral infections, continues to dispel the myth of viral rebound, when to use steroids and the benefits of convalescent plasma, how COVID-19 effects the autonomic nervous system, and if nirmatrelvir-ritonavir protects against adverse cardiovascular effects following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
