SARS-CoV-2 induced Covid 19 and Influenza: The Dual overwhelming infection: Rising Attentions for Similarities

  • 1. College of Dentistry / University of Tikrit

Description

The multiple mutations of the Covid 19 virus worry people around the world, and the reason for this is very clear, as the last century witnessed four pandemics of influenza viruses, which are: H1N1 in 1918, H2N2 in 1957, H3N2 in 1968, and H1N1 in 2009 - which came in a second deadly wave In the fall and the beginning of winter. Covid-19 may behave in the same way, and the dangerous mutants of Covid have already seemed to sweep the world like the Indian strain. The worry that we might get a double overwhelming infection from the flu and the coronavirus is justified and could be very dangerous to humanity.

 

 That the effect of this double overwhelming infection may be dangerous is more closely related to human behavior than to virology: as there are many similar characteristics common to the two viruses in virus transmission, spread, symptoms, and so on. Where both Covid-19 and influenza are transmitted - in most cases - through respiratory droplets, so the same prevention strategies used to limit the spread of the first will also work to limit the spread of the second and the speed of dealing with the first for sure from the second and so on. The aim of this descriptive minireview, generally,  is to shed light on the SARS-CoV-2 induced Covid 19 and Influenza Dual overwhelming infection  and the Rising attention to Similarities between them.
