I am really surprised! I have been hearing about a guy at my husband's work who is in his 30s (maybe 40) who has been suffering from Covid. I read on Facebook about how the guy really needs prayers because it doesn't seem like he is getting better. Well today my husband told me that his co worker has been in and out of the hospital because he is suffering from the Flu and Covid! Can you believe that? I never considered that a person could be suffering from the Flu and Covid at the same time! Have you thought about this? Pray for the guy. He is young.

Yes, I read an article online about people catching both at the same time. It's called flurona. (No joke.)

@LeaPea2417 I was going to give you the link to the article I read but I can't find it now. (The link in my History gives me a "404" response. I have no idea why.)

@LeaPea2417 In my country a great percentage is vaccinated. Still, they catch the virus. But their cases are nild.

I have heard that it's hard to tell the difference between the symptoms related to flu or covid, in fact the nurse who evaluated me today mentioned that its more likely people are getting the flu rather than covid right now.

Poor chap, I hope he makes a good recovery. Yes it is possible to have more than one viral infection at once, those two could really knock you out.

Yes, it could kill a person who has a very weakened immune system, I suppose.

Wow, I hope for the best. My sister plays these online phone games one of the oldest ever made actually Evony. I was surprised its still going so many copied it and pissed me off for a while because was just a money grabber. Anyway, she said this dude from Russia comes on there asking for help from world. He could not get a hold of local hospital or any kind of doctor saying they all have covid and no one can breathe. Pray for us because this this our end. No one talked smack about a vaccine and no one played politics, to late for that, and nothing no one could do and he realized that. Life no joke.

We've got a guy at my work who is in the hospital right now with Covid. He's been out of work for over a month now, so he must have it really bad. I always thought this omicron variant wasn't as strong as previous variants, but it seems that those who never got earlier variants, or who never got vaccinated are getting hit hard by this current variant.
