Dr. Lisa Lockerd Maragakis, senior director of infection prevention at the Johns Hopkins Health Systems in Baltimore, Maryland, said back in fall 2020 that you cant escape seasonal illnesses.

In Utah, cases of the respiratory syncytial virus and the flu are down because of the coronavirus pandemic, as the Deseret News reported. A lot of this has been attributed to face masks and pandemic health measures.
