Is it possible that on top of everything else, that we’re dealing with a more virulent strain of RSV this year than normal?

@AlexanderDent6 Surveillance system for RSV (it was reviewed a couple of years before the pandemic) is simply at a baby stage and genomic surveillance is at a vestigial stage. There are indeed RSV genotypes/serotypes with different pathogenicity, but I think we are seeing host factors at play.
@ChristosArgyrop host factors in babies? What is happening to the babies?
