Let it Go: Helping control viral infections

By Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist for ONU Healthwise

Let it Go was written for Disney’s Frozen.  The original song was performed by Idina Menzel, but a shorter version was recorded by Demi Lovato for radio. The original Frozen film was inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Snow Queen.  

Even though we have had some freezing days over the weeks, the weather is not dampening the spread of infections. 

Ohio is one of many states experiencing a quad-demic.  These four viral infections are COVID-19, influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and norovirus.  COVID-19, flu, and RSV are all respiratory viruses, but norovirus is a gut virus.
