Could someone be infected with COVID-19 and Influenza at the same time ?

    Anything is truly possible these days. I've heard of it.

    "There have been reports of patients who have contracted both flu and COVID-19 at the same time, but we are not yet clear on how co-infection occurs," Dr Tomar adds. "More evidence is needed before we can fully understand this, and how possible it is to contract both viruses at once."

    It is possible, but not too likely.

    Relax. Covid isn't real.

    Your mind is deluded.

    Explosive If True: “I’m a Clinical Lab Scientist, C19 Is Fake, Wake up America”

    01/15/2021 By Stillness in the Storm

    (Derek Knauss) I have a PhD in virology and immunology. I’m a clinical lab scientist and have tested 1500 “supposed” positive Covid 19 samples collected here in S. California. When my lab team and I did the testing through Koch’s postulates and observation under a SEM (scanning electron microscope), we found NO Covid in any of the 1500 samples.

    by Derek Knauss, January 9th, 2o21

    What we found was that all of the 1500 samples were mostly Influenza A and some were influenza B, but not a single case of Covid, and we did not use the B.S. PCR test. We then sent the remainder of the samples to Stanford, Cornell, and a few of the University of California labs and they found the same results as we did, NO COVID. They found influenza A and B. All of us then spoke to the CDC and asked for viable samples of COVID, which CDC said they could not provide as they did not have any samples. We have now come to the firm conclusion through all our research and lab work, that the COVID 19 was imaginary and fictitious.

    The flu was called Covid and most of the 225,000 dead were dead through co-morbidities such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, emphysema etc. and they then got the flu which further weakened their immune system and they died. I have yet to find a single viable sample of Covid 19 to work with. We at the 7 universities that did the lab tests on these 1500 samples are now suing the CDC for Covid 19 fraud. the CDC has yet to send us a single viable, isolated and purifed sample of Covid 19. If they can’t or won’t send us a viable sample, I say there is no Covid 19, it is fictitious. The four research papers that do describe the genomic extracts of the Covid 19 virus never were successful in isolating and purifying the samples. All the four papers written on Covid 19 only describe small bits of RNA which were only 37 to 40 base pairs long which is NOT A VIRUS. A viral genome is typically 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.

    With as bad as Covid is supposed to be all over the place, how come no one in any lab world wide has ever isolated and purified this virus in its entirety? That’s because they’ve never really found the virus, all they’ve ever found was small pieces of RNA which were never identified as the virus anyway.

    So what we’re dealing with is just another flu strain like every year, COVID 19 does not exist and is fictitious. I believe China and the globalists orchestrated this COVID hoax (the flu disguised as a novel virus) to bring in global tyranny and a worldwide police totalitarian surveillance state, and this plot included massive election fraud to overthrow Trump.

    Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

    The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

  • Yes they can. Covid 19 and influenza are both viruses but they're not the same thing.

    Covid 19 is a respiratory infection that can have flu like symptoms. Influenza is the flu. Both can kill people, but Covid 19 has killed more people then the past 5 flu seasons.

    The flu and covid are both viral illnesses (from a virus).  You only get it from other people. 

    To have the flu and covid at the same time you have to be around someone who has the flu and someone who has covid (or someone has to have both and pass both).  It's would be really unusual for this to occur.

    Illnesses like bacterial pneumonia, sinus infections, and ear infections = they grow within your own body.  Someone doesn't pass it to you.  So it's easier for an illness like covid or the flu to cause a secondary illness.

    Theoretically possible but not likely. Most people have gotten their flu vaccine and those who have not can get infected. 

    Normally when a person gets acutely infected with one virus a general immune response ensues that has anti-viral products produced like interferon. It inhibits all viruses from replicating and so it limits other viruses from taking over. It's the initial virus that predominates in numbers followed by an immune response that prevents other viruses in addition to the initial virus from progressing.

    According to the CDC site, 80% of Covid deaths were from PNEUMONIA.
