Novel where there is something in the air infecting people which is sending them insane and causing them to kill other people

Novel where there is something in the air infecting people which is sending them insane and causing them to kill other people. I remember that there were a group of people who were trying to keep safe in a resort, or a hotel. I also remember a part where someone has to drive to a nursing home and risk being infected? I don’t remember when I read this book, it would have to be in the past 7 years I’m guessing but I cannot for the life of me remember any other details.

The Infected series has people go insane and kill each other from some sort of plague.

Infected
Contagious
Pandemic

Maybe The Passage or the second book in the series, in a flashback? (The Twelve). It's a bit of a stretch, but some of your description brings those to mind.

kind of reminds me of the Gone series? I haven't read it since I was about 12 so I'm hazy on the details but from what I remember they hide out in a resort at one point...

Maybe it is The Fog by James Herbert or The Mist by Stephen King? (Though it is possible that the last one is more about things in the mist than insanity.)

There is also fog or mist in Dean Koontz's The Taking.

There is als..."
Oh, now that you mention Dean Koontz, I remember his book Phantoms had a fog (?) in a ski town. The town was deserted, except for all the dead people. The investigators were working out of a hotel or a ski lodge. I do remember someone (or several someones) trying to get to a different building. Also church bells and maybe alarms or sirens would go off at weird times. It's a long shot, but you never know when one will pay off:)
