1. Mini literature review in public health with a focus on
Mini literature review in public health with a focus on COVID-19, flu, and RSV. Last fall,
several cases of a common respiratory virus called respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surged
particularly among children across the Utrunited States. At the same time, flu cases
increased and the ongoing cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continued
throughout the country. Some public health and medical experts have coined a term for this
combination a potential “tripledemic.” Recognize that there is no scientific definition for this
term (tripledemic) and is simply used to refer to the presence of or collision of RSV
(respiratory syncytial virus), flu, and COVID-19, fu, and RSV to the extent that it has
overwhelmed the emergency departments of hospitals, urgent care units, and medical
centers.Assignments:For this assignment, you must complete one course on Coursera and
write a mini-paper on the Public Health Implications of COVID-19, flu, and RSV cases
occurring at the same time.-Strategies for Assisted Living Communities during COVID-19.
