RSV activity steadily down

We have seen a steady decline in RSV activity for the last two weeks, now approaching the 10% positives mark. The picture for California as a whole is similar, with a steady decline in the number of specimens positive for RSV. The small blip in the percent of positives for the NREVSS chart below may be due to a decrease in the total number of specimens submitted - lower denominator.

RSV activity beginning to decrease in state and region

We are beginning to see a decrease in RSV activity in our region, as reflected by a decrease in samples positive to RSV of the ones submitted to Sutter affiliates. The RSV activity for the whole state is also decreasing as per the NREVSS data shown below. It seems our region is about one to two weeks behind the state in the decline of RSV activity.
