What about Flurona?
The term “Flurona” is shorthand for a dual infection caused by the viruses COVID-19 and the typical influenza A virus (also simply known as flu).
People with the flu or the coronavirus might have similar symptoms, like fever, coughing, feeling tired, having a runny nose, a sore throat, diarrhea, and aches and pains all over the body.
Both illnesses are potentially deadly, but the degree to which a person might suffer heavily depends on their immune system. Those who work in the medical field, the elderly, and those with preexisting diseases are particularly at risk for contracting these viruses.
So, how is the co-infection known as “flurona” distinct from other SARS-CoV-2 variants like Kraken? The 1st thing you need to know is that A co-infection occurs when a person gets infected with 2 or more diseases at the same time or in a quick period of time.
A weakened immune system makes the body more vulnerable to other infections during and after the 1st sickness. This condition is also known by many other names, including polymicrobial illness, concurrent infection, and simultaneous infection.
Other common examples of co-infection include having both influenza and pneumococcus at the same time, or having both the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) at the same time.
