Pharmacists are reportedly running out of children’s Tylenol as cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surge among children in the United States.

Tylenol can effectively bring down fevers, a common symptom of RSV; the season for the virus starts in the fall and continues through the winter.

“Just too much demand for the current supply,” Buffalo, New York pharmacist Don Arthur stated. “I think unfortunately with RSV, every flu season we deal in our community with the common flu, we deal with colds, we deal with RSV, but we still have COVID in smaller levels. … It’s still present, and now it seems we have a bit of a spike with RSV.”

“Just a few weeks ago we told you about the Amoxicillin shortage,” WFSB in Connecticut reported on Wednesday. “Now over the counter kids’ medicines like Tylenol, Motrin and Advil are all in short supply.”

“We are not experiencing shortages of children’s Tylenol in the United States,” Johnson & Johnson, which makes Tylenol and admitted Canada is experiencing shortages, told the Daily Mail. “There is increased consumer-driven demand for our children’s pain reliever products in certain regions and we’re taking all possible measures to ensure product availability.”

“RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children younger than 1 year of age in the United States,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states.

“RSV can be dangerous for some infants and young children. Each year in the United States, an estimated 58,000-80,000 children younger than 5 years old are hospitalized due to RSV infection,” the CDC adds.

“In my 25 years of being a pediatrician, I’ve never seen anything like this,” pediatric infectious disease specialist Stacene Maroushek said, according to CNN. “I have seen families who just aren’t getting a break. They have one viral illness after another. And now there’s the secondary effect of ear infections and pneumonia that are prompting amoxicillin shortages.”

NBC Buffalo scouted locations including some Walgreens drugstores and a local Target and found no infant and children’s liquid acetaminophen and ibuprofen products.

The White House geared up for the Thanksgiving holiday by sharing a list of talking points for people to reference if the happened to find themselves talking to “that uncle” during a family gathering.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — along with several other officials in President Joe Biden’s administration — shared a handy tip sheet for those who just had to keep talking politics at the Thanksgiving table.

Jean-Pierre tweeted the list — complete with holiday-themed illustrations and bullet points for easy referencing — with a pun-filled caption: “It’s hard to quit talking politics cold turkey — even at Thanksgiving. Talk to your family from across the aisle, and across your dinner table, with this cheat sheet.”

Chief of Staff Ron Klain joined in with his own caption, saying, “One last item for your Thanksgiving dinner: some talking points when ‘that Uncle’ comes ‘at you’ about @POTUS.”

The first point alleged that Biden had been “tackling inflation and lowering costs” — despite the fact that the price of a Thanksgiving dinner is up a average of 20% since last year and gas prices, though down considerably from their record-shattering peak, are still straining wallets nationwide.

The second point touted Biden’s moves to lower prescription drug costs, and point #3 outlined the bipartisan infrastructure deal. The following points addressed the CHIPS and SCIENCE Act, recent gun control measures, and the economic progress that many Republicans argue was simply the natural result of businesses being allowed to reopen.

The final point on the “cheat sheet” calls Congressional Republicans “extreme” and accuses them of pushing for a full national abortion ban, trying to cut Social Security and Medicare, and “trying to raise costs on Americans by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act.”

Critics were not impressed by the talking points, however, and they made their thoughts known.

“No thank you. I like my family,” Chad Felix Green said.

“During this holiday season, share the gift that keeps on giving with your loved ones: government propaganda,” Siraj Hashmi suggested.

From NRO’s Isaac Schorr came the following: “My favorite family tradition is when we go around the table at Thanksgiving dinner, each of us enumerating our ‘top accomplishments’ in an effort to humiliate the others.”

“If things were going well, perhaps you wouldn’t need dishonest talking points to make it through Thanksgiving dinner …” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) observed.
