Yes. My friend who was diagnosed with both flu/Covid last summer even had GI coexistence infection. Was hospitalized for a week or so.1) The fact that COVID tests didn't identify flu is hardly a surprise. COVID tests only found COVID. Nice strawman.
2) BOTH tests are required to diagnose the COINFECTION which is what is happening with Flurona.
Basically, those folks have BOTH flu and CORONA.
Which means the pneumonia issues just got nastier.
When they say "combine", they don't mean "form a new mutant flu/COVID virus". They're *implying that*, of course... because Omicron doesn't look deadly enough for the narrative.
I don't think it's possible for two different *virus types* (Influenza + Corona) to "merge".
Someone had the flu AND COVID at the same time. I'm sure it sucks, but it's not a "new thing".
Scare tactics.
>> /dev/null with all of the other crap news.
So that means according to the current metric - she's ready to get them ALL - ALL OVER AGAIN?Yes. My friend who was diagnosed with both flu/Covid last summer even had GI coexistence infection. Was hospitalized for a week or so.
She got it ALL.
No they didnt.
I have no ideaSo that means according to the current metric - she's ready to get them ALL - ALL OVER AGAIN?
OMG!
Poor human.

Twas truly amazing how the flu seemed to all but vanish in 2020.
No, they aren't."Flurona"? I'm going to play the "hooey card" on this one. The common cold, the flu, and the "Covid-19" disease (if it exists) are all corona virii.
Read the quote. They said it is the same disease. They did not say that it was the same virus. Flu viruses are different strains also.
Excellent advice.I was discussing this issue with several friends earlier in a brief Zoom gathering.
I think we need to stop worrying about what illness we have and focus more on what symptoms are
present and what to watch for. Most of us adults have been successfully treating our own colds and flu
without fanfare for many years.
One really good tip: start a "chart" (notes) for yourself or anyone you are caring for. Keep it neat and professional-looking in case you have to share it with a medical provider. Make a graph of the temperatures if it looks like they are spiking. If there is a major problem developing, neat notes
will show a healthcare provider exactly what has been happening and may result in better treatment.
They have similar initial presentation yes. Both are respiratory pathogens but distinctly different over time.
I Do and you are right, it's not. But that's not my experience where I am.Depending on the variant, co-morbidity, initial treatment, etc, etc,. And seeing as there are so many variables, you as a PA should be treating each patient differently depending on their medical history and situation. This top down, one size fits all, police state policy is not good medicine.
Excellent advice.
Shouldn’t you say pregnant or birthing people?"Last year, we did not witness flu cases among pregnant or birthing women.
And add on that everyone's immune system has been obliterated these last 2 years with face diapers and lockdowns everyone is at risk for a severe flu season. DH got the stomach virus last week. He NEVER catches anything. The kids and grandkids got it worse.I can't take credit for the advice, Psychgirl -- just passing it on.
We met briefly because there is so much illness going on. It's been several years since we've seen so many problems. The last time was winter of either 2014 or 2015. We couldn't narrow it down. It seemed like everyone was getting that flu-going-into-a-cold/bronchitis combination that was requiring a Z-Pak in some cases, really nasty stuff! People died from that, too, but they were either in their 80s or recovering from cancer.
I don't remember children or formerly healthy people dying from it.
Jonas, please actually look at the difference between coronaviri and influenza viri since they are VERY different viri. Heck they aren't on the same branch of the Kingdom/Phylum tree. The cold viri ARE either Corona viri or rhino viri (similar branches, with similar symptoms, and which get treated reasonably similarly)."Flurona"? I'm going to play the "hooey card" on this one. The common cold, the flu, and the "Covid-19" disease (if it exists) are all corona virii.
As another member and myself mentioned privately to each other; those of you not going through this illness or caring for someone with it, the disbelief of its existence and the making fun, is saddening to us.
I wasn’t going to say anything regarding our thoughts, but we both hope and pray none of you contract it.
It’s not a laughing matter nor is it a made up fantasy.
Yeah I know.Everybody knows that it's a thing.
What's maddening is the overblown hype and how the virus is being used as a control mechanism.
That is understandable, Psychgirl. God bless you, your family, and all the many others fighting all this illness. I pray for all of you.Yeah I know.
I’m just a little sensitive right now and ...tired.
Frightened.
Sending you hugs and prayers from down under sweetie.Yeah I know.
