Episode 231 – Care Givers
The current growth of the U.S. population including ages 65 and over is unprecedented and is driven by the large baby boom generation, those born between 1946 and 1964.

In recent months, the U.S. has experienced a surge in four different viruses including the flu (Influenza A), RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), COVID and a GI bug known as Norovirus. In addition, the Fall brought a spike in cases of a bacterial infection called Mycoplasma, especially in small children. Tune in to hear about all of these infections, how they are detected and treated and how you can protect yourself and your family members.

Tune in to hear the story of two selfless people, who are role models for all of us!
