Everything Old Is New Again: hMPV and health

By Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist

Anne Murray sang Everything Old Is New Again on episode 415 of The Muppet Show, which aired on February 1, 1980 in the United Kingdom and March 10, 1980 in New York City.  Anne sings while different Muppet characters including Scooter are on skateboards going in and out of the sketch.  

In 1987, Anne Murray was the first female country artist to earn triple platinum for an album.  Anne is from Canada and first started recording her music in 1967.  She retired in 2008 and has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.

Murray’s song is a good descriptor for the current news about the hMPV virus.  Why?

The human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is similar to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and most of us have been exposed to hMPV before the age of 5.
