WELLNESS CORNER
The Wellness Corner is a dedicated space in the UAGC Chronicle where faculty and staff can find resources, tips, and information related to various aspects of wellness, including physical health, mental well-being, work-life balance, and personal development. This column is but one initiative of the Faculty Council’s Faculty Wellness Subcommittee, a group of faculty members who are passionate about wellness and will be working with the administration, staff, and external experts to develop programs and activities that address our faculty's specific needs and interests and enhance the overall well-being of our faculty community. This column is intended to be a platform for diverse perspectives on wellness within our community. Please contact Faculty Council co-chairs Dr. Cara Metz and Dr. Yvonne Lozano if you want to contribute or have questions or suggestions related to the Wellness Corner or another wellness initiative.
WHY IS THERE A FLU, COVID, AND RSV SEASON? Charles Holmes, Program Chair, Department of Health Sciences
For me, nothing beats a brisk spring day. The trees returning to some color, the temperatures warming from the winter cooling, and the promise of summer holidays ahead are my happy place. What often escapes this idyllic vision is the fact that with lingering cold temperatures also comes influenza (flu), COVID-19, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV season. While these viruses exist throughout the year and are regularly tracked, the peak circulation for all typically occurs in the fall
and winter seasons for those of us in the northern hemisphere and through June and September for those in the southern hemisphere (CDC, 2022). So, while Spring is just around the corner, we still must remain vigilant to avoid a nasty start to the coming season. So, with the peak of these three viruses occurring during cold weather months throughout the world, is it safe to assume that the cold weather causes these illnesses? No, like all viruses, environmental conditions play a role in the transmission, but the virus must be present for an infection to occur. This means that those of you who had adults shout, ‘Zip up your coat, or you will catch a cold,’ had your hearts in the right place, but temperatures alone have little impact on illness except in the extremes.
