Flurona in Israel

The world's first known case of one person infected with COVID-19 and the influenza virus at the same time was recorded in Israel.

The double infection—dubbed the "flurona"—was found in a new mother at Rabin Medical Center in Petach Tikva, Hamodia reported. Professor Arnon Vizhnitser, director of the hospital's gynecology department, told the Jerusalem news outlet that the woman tested positive for both viruses as soon as she came to the medical center and that they double-checked to confirm.

Vizhnitser added that the woman had not been vaccinated against either virus, but she did not have any especially strong symptoms. She had been feeling well and was expected to be discharged on Thursday.

Though this was the first documented case of someone infected with both viruses simultaneously, health experts believe there are others who have not been diagnosed. The Israeli Health Ministry is studying the case to see whether it could cause more serious illness, according to Hamodia.

I was wondering the same thing, Pepper.

I googled flurona, and it said the young woman was mildly ill. Another unvaccinated genius. She got lucky.

No one is fearmongering. In case you have not realised both the flu and covid are respiratory diseases.
Making people aware that it is also important to get a flu vaccine is important, that is what the Israeli Ministry is doing. The only elaborators are you and the rag you read it in!

Have you not heard of The Rona? An abbreviation for corona virus? Some call it Miss Rona, giving the slang term, "sass." But the funniest, and cruellest slang version that I have heard is: "Boomer Remover." Youngsters might think it amusing but Boomer Remover is just as capable of taking out Gen Z too.

No I don't move in circles where slang is in common usage when it comes to serious issues

How I would love to empathise with that remark. But my problem is, you can take the kid out of the council house but you can't take the council house out of the kid. (Tell you what though Holly, that's going to get our American friends perplexed.)
