Is there a place for bronchiolitis in the COVID-19 era? Lack of
hospitalizations due to common respiratory viruses during the 2020
winter
Abstract
It was recently reported that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the
European winter 2020-2021, bronchiolitis had practically disappeared.
But early reports from the southern hemisphere (Australia) raised
concerns about a late spring / summer peak. After a full winter season
and now ending the summer, we report that there was no peak of common
respiratory viruses in late spring / summer in South America.
