CORONA Virus panic: First case of 'flurona'– Covid and flu merge to form horror double infection

[TFergeson]

First mentioned in the Coronavirus main thread, flurona has now hit the MSM with a little more info. With the usual results. At this point their desperation to hold on to their original pandemic power is pathetic. Its like a junkie trying to chase the dragon. Since Omicron fell flat I expect this to be the new doom going forward.

Virus panic: First case of 'flurona'– Covid and flu merge to form horror double infection
A MIXTURE of the flu and coronavirus, dubbed Flurona, has been detected in Israel.

The first case of Flurona was found in a young pregnant woman in Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikva. Flurona is a dangerous mixture of coronavirus and influenza. The young woman was unvaccinated and results from the hospital detected the co-presence of both the flu and the Covid 19 pathogens.

Local press in Israel reported the woman was found positive for the two infections during analysis at the hospital in Petach Tikva.
The Israeli Health Ministry is studying the results. The woman has presented with relatively mild symptoms of the disease. However, the health ministry in Israel is studying the combination of the two infections to detect if it could cause a more serious illness.

Now experts in Israel have said that several other patients have contracted the two viruses but have not been diagnosed.
Professor Arnon Vizhnitser director of the hospitals' Gynecology Department said: "Last year, we did not witness flu cases among pregnant or birthing women.

"Today, we are seeing cases of both coronavirus and the flu that are starting to rear their head.
"We are seeing more and more pregnant women with the flu.

"It is definitely a great challenge dealing with a woman who comes in with a fever at childbirth.
"This is especially when you do not know if it's coronavirus or the flu, so you refer to them the same.
"Most of the illness is respiratory." Mr Vizhnitser added that the patient did not experience any unusually serious symptoms.
He added: "She was diagnosed with the flu and coronavirus as soon as she arrived.

"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."

Oops! Good catch thanks!

Don't let yourself get run down, and don't take unnecessary chances out with the pestilent masses if you don't have to.

Winters are all the same with regard to multiple bugs floating around. Covid sure doesn't change that. This version of the Covid bug might flush through the population relatively quickly. Keep up your chin AND your guard.

 

[hunybee]

yes, this is a concern. it always has been. its not that they combine to create a superbug. its that they are binary infections.

that is ALWAYS the concern for covid, influenza, etc. the concern for influenza is a co-infection of a bacterial infection or any number of other infections...bacterial or viral.

 

[TFergeson]

You know what else just occurred to me? This is why they are going to "need" to combine the COVID boosters with the flu shots going forward.

 

[Meemur]

I think the "flurona" was around last year.

 

[psychgirl]

I think the "flurona" was around last year.

I just came here to say that!
Months ago I had a personal friend who was hospitalized after not eating for 8 days yada yada.... she tested for both, in
Indiana

 

[tech]

Anything to extend the "crisis."

 

[BUBBAHOTEPT]

Sounds like the flu never really disappeared…

 

[KFhunter]

I'll take flurona over pneumrona

Since CDC only recently admitted that the Covid test cannot tell the difference between Covid and this year's flu, how many people have been hospitalized/treated for Covid when they needed treatment for the flu?

Madame Wildweasel's brother, his wife and her mother were diagnosed with Covid and were very sick "with non-standard symptoms" that sounded like the flu to me. Two weeks later the late 80s MIL has pneumonia while BIL and wife are slowly recovering.

Misdiagnosis and wrong treatment that is probably going to kill people. The latest legacy of Covid paranoia the leadership is going to try and ride forward to totalitarianism.

Yep, and it may be an attempt to justify spending money on those pcr tests.

Thanks for interjecting some calm. Just because some people just realized the issues doesn't mean that it hasn't existed all along. Covid with anything else is an issue. That's why some comorbidities are more problematic than others.

This is probably the exact danger some people are facing. It is like when the cops make an assumption on who a criminal is rather than looking at the real evidence.

 

[Dobbin]

Optic cover for the lastest CDC discovery that the test can't differentiate between Covid and ordinary flu.

And everyone wondered why Covid seemed to have "eliminated" the seasonal flu?

"Oh its the masks" they all said.

Horsepucky - coming out now - stand by with your fork for agricultural amendment from the CDC.

It was bound to happen, but having two viruses/infections at one time isn't really that unusual. Ear infections, sinus infections with cold or flu, chicken pox with bronchitis piling on (especially with asthmatics, don't ask me how I know), etc.

About 30 years ago one in-law had viral meningitis and bacterial pneumonia at the same time, and she was pregnant. Scared the heck out of the entire extended family. All turned out well.

We all just have to work our hardest to stay healthy in every way possible. The rest really is out of our hands. It will be all over the news like crazy, I'd think....sometimes I think they're trying to scare everyone to death. Fear is the mind killer :-)

 

[sunflowerstation]

HMMM, sorry, I just can't accept this. If the CDC already admitted that the "tests" can't recognize variants like 'delta' and "omicron" how the heck can the tests recognize ANYTHING?

Flame away

Twas truly amazing how the flu seemed to all but vanish in 2020.

 

[Hfcomms]

For people sensitive to being anxious it is high past time to turn off the tube or just totally stay away from the news/propaganda channels. Paying to much attention to the propaganda can negatively affect your overall health and innate immune system just when you need it to be strong. As to the original story all I can say is they are a one trick pony and any trick tried to excess loses effectiveness over time.

I thought the same thing, if they couldn't tell the diff between covid and flu how is this working to say its both?

The “flurona” was detected early in the beginning of covid. I have wondered if some of the severe cases of covid were co-infections:

“Co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A Virus in Patient with Pneumonia, China...

Abstract
We report co-infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A virus in a patient with pneumonia in China. The case highlights possible co-detection of known respiratory viruses. We noted low sensitivity of upper respiratory specimens for SARS-CoV-2, which could further complicate recognition of the full extent of disease.
A 69-year-old man was seen in the clinic of China-Japan Friendship Hospital on January 23, 2020, for fever and dry cough...”

Co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A Virus in Patient with Pneumonia, China

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 can be difficult and patients can be co-infected with influenza A virus and COVID-19.

I believe no one which is almost as bad as believing everyone. Just thankful to be stocked up on lots of antibiotics and antivirals. We will do what we want to do within reason.

 

[intowolves]

Are you guys sure the cdc actually said that, cause there's quite a few differing opinions of what the cdc did.
Sure I can believe the hypocracy and lies surrounding the cdc etc, but I also know alot of people will grab at anything to support their narrative. Either way I just want the truth whether it supports my position or not.

 

[rondaben]

I think the "flurona" was around last year.

It's been around since the beginning and will be around in the future.

 

[SouthernBreeze]

Our DIL came down sick, and was tested the day after Christmas. She was tested separately for the Flu and for Covid. She was negative for the Flu, but was positive for Covid. She exposed us on Christmas day. Now we have it, so there is no reason for us to be tested. BUT, what we have is like a bad case of the Flu. So, who knows? We're treating ourselves as if we have the Flu.

 

[Lone_Hawk]

"The disease is the same disease; they're viral and cause difficulty breathing since both attack the upper respiratory tract."

So they are finally admitting that all this crap has been about a different strain of the flu. About time. So let's stop all this silly crap and get back to living life.

 

[Babs]

In the early days of the rona, there were MANY people testing positive for rona and influenza. I was hearing it from my heathcare provider family members.

 

[KFhunter]

I understand co-infection, but I do not understand how these two viruses can merge into one virus, they are very dissimilar.

 

[pauldingbabe]

Fear is the mind killer

Yes.

No they didnt.

 

[rondaben]

didn't. Aren't. It's coinfection.

 

[night driver]

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.

 

[mostlyharmless]

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.

 

[jward]

like we noted when I first posted ... Nasty, yes, but it's this constant hair on fire due to not understanding and catastraphizing everything that is going to crater everyone's resilience, immune systems and health..

What in the actual F...? People have had Flu combined w/tonsillitis, flu w/pneumonia, flu w/sinus infections... The list goes on. One is a primary infection, one is a secondary ..... You DON'T GET TO RENAME AND CLASSIFY INFECTIONS!!!

 

[WildDaisy]

Flurona - mild symptoms - but panic, panic, panic! Get more shots, get more boosters, spend, spend, spend! Someone has to get to that quota that was promised to Moderna and Pfizer!

 

[Firebird]

I just fired up a My Father's LA Promesa to ward off the Flurona
