Covid-19: ‘Flurona’ isn’t real, people can get co-infection, say researchers

Some posts on social media spoke of an infection in Israel called “flurona,” which users say is a co-infection of Covid-19 and the flu.

But healthcare experts have now dismissed that, saying it’s not the same thing.

“Contractions like ‘flurona,’ I think they’re very misleading. It raises the idea that the two viruses are somehow merging into one, but that’s not the case,” says Allen, an immunologist at Yale University School of Medicine Dr. Foxman told NBC News. “Someone is infected at the same time. People are always infected at the same time.”

Other researchers agree with Dr. Foxman. Co-infections can lead to three outcomes: few or no symptoms, severe illness due to viral attack, or one infection may prevent another, explains Dr. Guy Boivin, a clinical virologist in Quebec.

The first case of “flurona” was reported in late December, in a pregnant woman who was admitted to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikwa for delivery. Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the young woman was not vaccinated.

At the time, Dr. Nahla Abdel Wahab, a doctor at Cairo University Hospital, told Israeli media that the “flu virus” could indicate a major malfunction of the immune system, as both viruses entered the body at the same time.

Amid box office concerns for the film, a pirated version of Game Changer was allegedly aired on a local TV channel and shown in buses. Screenshots of the same surfaced on X, which caught the attention of producer Sreenivas Kumar. He took to his X account to demand strict action on it.

A few days ago, the makers of the film had filed a complaint against individuals for allegedly leaking a pirated version of the film online. The complaint also states that before the film’s release, the producers and a few team members were threatened through social media and messaging platforms like WhatsApp, wherein the same alleged pirates demanded money from producers and threatened to leak the pirated version if their demands were not fulfilled.

Game Changer is directed by Shankar and stars Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, and SJ Suryah. The film has also been released in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
