CDC Warns of Respiratory Virus

ATLANTA – The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is warning the public about a cold-like virus that can be dangerous to children and some adults. According to the CDC, respiratory syncytial virus is a common respiratory virus that may look like the flu or cold but is actually the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children and in adults over age 65. Those at higher risk of infection include people with asthma, congestive heart failure and adults with chronic medical conditions.  The CDC recommends reaching out to a doctor if you or your child is having difficulty breathing, not drinking enough fluids or experiencing worsening symptoms.
