supportive care. there is not an antibiotic to treat rsv. usually oxygen and hydration. i don t think we will ever get to where we were with covid with rsv, but we want to make sure that we do everything we can to be prepared in case that does happen. we ve a lot of great doctors and nurses and medical personnel around the country working very hard to do what they can to take care of the children and the adults in the elderly as well. molly: we are so grateful for them and on this thanksgiving day as well because there is no break. dr. nesheiwat, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us on this thanksgiving and happy thanksgiving to you and yours. happy thanksgiving to you as well. arthel: happy thanksgiving to jeanette s mom. as americans celebrate thanksgiving, we are reminded of how generous the giving spirit truly is. there s one story that caught our eyes of alabama when a group of friends treated their waitress to an extra-large tip.
