Australia’s health chief issues ‘flurona’ warning ahead of winter months

We may be in the middle of summer, but Australia’s chief medical officer is already warning of a potential winter wave of COVID-19 infections.

Professor Paul Kelly said the colder months are likely to bring a new spike in cases and potentially new variants of the virus.He also foreshadowed that many of us could be infected with COVID and influenza at the same time, an unfortunate situation known casually as ‘flurona’. Flurona is not a distinct disease, but refers to when a person cops a dose of both viruses at the same time. It has been reported in multiple countries around the world.Credit:“In winter we will see more COVID, that’s been the case everywhere so far,” Professor Kelly told reporters on Tuesday.

“We’re almost certainly going to have a flu season this year as well in winter, and flu and coronavirus together - as is being seen in several countries in the northern hemisphere right now - is challenging.” Professor Kelly said Australia was up for the challenge and further planning was underway to cope with future spikes in infection numbers.“Whether that will be armageddon for people that have not yet got it during this wave, or another variant, I can’t tell. That’s a crystal ball matter,” he said.

Nope Nope Nope! 😬🙃
