"We've been overwhelmed by flu patients," Inglish said. "It's been worse than COVID. It's probably been the worst winter for flu patients in many, many years."

Just giving you guys a heads up. Unfortunately, I think we are headed for another pandemic and to be honest, I think we are already in the middle of it. I have basically 5 hospitals and over 100 clinics in our health system, and I have not seen it this bad since covid slammed us. All of our area hospitals are full, we can no longer depend on the CDC for truth on anything, and many doctors are sounding the alarm. We just opened our drive through testing facilities again. We are encouraging telehealth visits instead of in person if at all possible. Right now Covid, Flu, and RSV are running rampant... However, its this new mystery illness that is really going fucking nuts. In my direct department of 80+ people, I had 24 out with it in one week. Several of those turned into pneumonia .. 2 were hospitalized.
