“Both tests came back positive, even after we checked again.
“The disease is the same disease. They’re viral and cause difficulty breathing since both attack the upper respiratory tract.”
Covid and the flu are both respiratory infections and have similar symptoms so you may not even realise you have both.
While ‘flurona’ sounds nasty, people have been diagnosed with both viruses at the same time as far back as two years ago according to the Atlantic.
In February 2020, a man tested positive for both coronavirus and the flu, after attending a New York hospital.
He reported having a severe cough and a fever and later confirmed three family members also had both viruses.
However, the term ‘flurona’ had not been coined until recently.
