Communities across the Northern hemisphere are currently suffering a triple whammy of RSV, COVID-19, and influenza infections. Why are things so bad this year?

Join us today at 2 PM ET (19 UT) for a discussion, organized by the American Society for Microbiology, about the biology of these infectious diseases. We'll answer your questions and also provide updates on options for diagnosing, treating, and preventing infections now (and in the future). Ask us anything!
