The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) produces a Weekly Viral Respiratory Diseases Report for clinicians. The report provides information on Influenza, COVID-19 and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) activity in the state. The report also compares activities in Arkansas to the U.S. ADH receives reports of only a fraction of COVID-19 cases and flu cases since it only requires reports of flu hospitalizations, deaths, and outbreaks. RSV is not a reportable disease in Arkansas. Therefore, it is important to understand that the information in the weekly update is representative of the timing and location of activity, but it does not reflect the overall disease burden. It is presumed that there are many more people actually affected than the report shows. Clinicians and policymakers may find the report helpful in terms of communicating to colleagues and patients about the current status of viral respiratory diseases in the state and nationwide.
This will be our first Mother's Day without our mom. Without our matriarch. Without the heart and soul of our family.
Being a parent is a huge — probably the biggest responsibility a person can have. It’s like being a doctor, a teacher, a counselor, a chef…I could go on, all rolled into one big life-long responsibility. It seems that it should feel more overwhelming but somehow — through our culture, genetic wiring or some kind of divine grace, most of us manage to get it right and raise children we are proud to brag about to anyone willing to listen.
