Original Note:
"Flurona" is not a new virus; it describes a person who is infected with influenza and SARS-CoV-2 simultaneously. Co-infections are not a new phenomena (cases were reported in early 2020), but the likelihood of co-infection increases as both viruses spread. 1. https://www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2022/01/05/flurona-isnt-a-new-virus-its-just-someone-with-covid-19-and-the-flu/?sh=38d62cc1b9bc 2. https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1478820062748463116
