Coronavirus
What Is Flurona?
When news broke that an unvaccinated pregnant woman in Israel tested positive for both the coronavirus and the common flu at the same time earlier this week, it sent shock waves through the medical community and introduced a new term into the COVID-19 lexicon: “Flurona.”
On Wednesday, the first reported incident of flurona since the term became popular showed up in the U.S., where an unvaccinated teenager in Los Angeles tested positive for both COVID and the flu, marking flurona’s official arrival in the U.S. However, there were other reported instances of flurona before that.
