they have been seeing children testing positive for two or three viruses which does not mean a child has had them all at once, necessarily, but could mean to have been exposed to several viruses over the past few weeks. he says that is because children are playing catch-up after a few years of pandemic restrictions, and distance learning, kids are catching illnesses they have avoided for the past three years. >> this is the year where they are catching all that up. >> reporter: the message may be the same but doctors say it is as important as ever to get vaccinated against the flu and covid if you are eligible, get a booster when you can, and mask up in crowds indoors. niners fans are having a pretty good night i would say, for the first time since 2019, the 49ers are nfc west division champs after a victory in seattle. you know, it has been a lddeso far. >> i don't know how they do it but they just played a game on sunday. four days later, they go out and do that? the last two times that they clinched the division, it was at
