Men’s Health republished an article that originally appeared in Prevention, which interviewed Thomas A. Russo, MD, professor and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB in a report 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.”
