In about 40% of U.S. households during the holiday season, at least one person got sick with one of the trifecta of respiratory illnesses referred to as the tripledemic, a new survey shows.

According to the from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 27% of households reported someone sick with the flu. COVID-19 infections affected 15% of households, and 10% reported an RSV infection.
Most people reported trying to get over-the-counter medicine to treat their illness. Among them, 1 in 5 said they had trouble finding those medicines amid shortages, and parents were more likely to report trouble finding over-the-counter medicines than non-parents. Most people sick with the flu or COVID-19 did not try to get prescription medicines that can make the illness less severe. Among people sick with the flu, 16% sought the medication Tamiflu, while 14% of people sick with COVID-19 sought the medication Paxlovid.The"tripledemic" viruses have all been on the retreat recently.
