In response to this post@cbarbermd
I think we have multiple pandemic-scale epidemics right now, chiefly Covid, Whooping Cough, and A(H1N1)pmd09.
Pasteur Institute says enhanced virulence factors are driving the Pertussis epidemic, and its definitely unusual for A(H1N1)pmd09 to be gaining as it is since the tendency for pandemic influenzas of attenuation rather than enhancement.
Beyond that, Clade Ib MPox is threatening to become a pandemic. America sure as heck isn't ready for that.
