What is Flurona, exactly? Experts explain what it is and how it happens

Prevention interviewed Thomas A. Russo, MD, professor and the chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB, in an article on the first documented case of “flurona” – a co-infection of COVID-19 and the flu. “I’m concerned about this because we had a practically non-existent flu season last year, and the flu is circulating this year,” said Russo. “Each virus is potentially lethal. The combination could be quite bad.” The article was republished by mySanAntonio.com and SFGATE. Russo’s comments to Prevention were also quoted by WTHR.
