Some states reinstated mask mandates as so-called health “experts” claim holiday social gatherings have caused an increase in four different types of viral infections, the Daily Mail reported on Thursday.
The “quad-demic” consists of a surge in infections caused by the flu, COVID-19, the respiratory illness RSV and norovirus, commonly called the stomach flu, according to the outlet.
Headlines about the quadruple threat emerged just weeks before President- elect Donald Trump takes office, fresh after talk about the risk of bird flu fell flat.
