"Winter is here, and with it come higher rates of respiratory illnesses. If
you’ve been struck down recently with a sore throat, runny nose and a cough, or
perhaps even a fever, you’re not alone.

Last week, non-urgent surgeries were paused in several Queensland hospitals due
to a surge of influenza and COVID cases filling up hospital beds.

Meanwhile, more than 200 aged care facilities around Australia are reportedly
facing COVID outbreaks.

So, just how bad are respiratory infections this year, and which viruses are
causing the biggest problems?"
