Fox News
Tampa Bay Florida is battling a unique combination of three separate respiratory illnesses, causing mass hospitalizations. Area doctors are calling it a “triple threat”.
Red tide, COVID-19 and bronchitis are "waging war" on the area, doctors told WFLA. Red tide is a harmful algal bloom that can cause respiratory system issues in humans. Doctors say that the symptoms usually include a short-lived but intense cough that can sometimes be fatal. Experts said this year's bloom is the worst the area has seen since 1971.More Related News
