I must correct your assertion that the media hasn’t raised a ruckus about RSV. Since RSV monoclonal antibodies for newborns and vaccinations for pregnant women (!) were introduced and duly consecrated by the FDA and CDC, the media have been in a positive frenzy about this disease most laypeople hadn’t heard of a year ago.

RSV has gotten more widespread attention than it has previously.
However, RSV has not prompted calls for mask mandates, and where the fear porn has been most prevalent is in conjunction with COVID under the rubric of a "tripledemic".
What we have NOT seen with respect to RSV by itself is a narrative that hospitals are at risk of being overwhelmed by rising RSV cases. COVID still gets top billing in that narrative.
