0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.4	From microbe TV, this is Twiv, this week in virology episode 1027,
0:18.8	recorded on July 20, 2023. I'm Jensen Drakenjello and you're listening to the podcast all about
0:26.3	viruses joining me today from New York, Daniel Griffin. Hello, everyone. Not too long ago, Daniel,
0:34.8	there were rumblings about perhaps having inbox outbreaks, has that ever materialized?
0:42.8	Just a few here or there, we haven't seen any major outbreaks yet. So we'll keep an eye on that.
0:49.1	The models all said we were going to have a big outbreak. You can't trust the models.
0:53.5	Okay. Okay. You know, actually, I would worry about August, just to kind of let everyone just
1:01.0	sort of speaking about what I know about behavior. We'll see what happens next month. We're almost
1:07.1	there. Okay. And I don't know if you noticed. So we just recorded this week in parasitism. I'm wearing

1:39.5	out at University of Colorado Boulder. I will just give people a little background here. We're
1:44.7	actually, we're still seeing a trickle of neurovirus cases. I guess we can't call it winter
1:49.2	vomiting. It's now going to be summer vomiting disease. A number of Babesia cases. COVID, COVID's
1:56.6	just sort of this low rumble in the outpatient. You know, we've got a few patients here there
2:01.2	that are getting admitted. But we we are start to see maybe a little more in our urgent cares,
2:07.2	a little more reports in our camp environment. So just sort of give people a heads up there.
2:12.8	And malaria. Oh my gosh. We are now up to eight cases. Another case was just diagnosed
2:20.8	on Tuesday in Florida. RSV wanted to share the news here. Really a lot going on in RSV.
