Going Viral: Health and the quad-demic

Posted by Staff on Thursday, February 13, 2025

By Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist, ONU Healthwise Pharmacy 

The term “going viral” describes content spreading quickly and broadly across social media. In 2016, Pinkfong, a South Korean entertainment company released a version of a youth song called Baby Shark with an accompanying YouTube dance video. The video has gone viral with 7.04 billion views as of November 2020, 10 billion by January 2022, and an amazing 15.34 billion by November 2024.  

As quickly as these videos go viral, so have viral infections in Ohio. Ohio is one of many states experiencing a quad-demic of infections.  These 4 viral infections are COVID-19, influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and the newcomer known as norovirus.  COVID-19, flu, and RSV are all respiratory viruses, but norovirus is a gastrointestinal or gut virus.
