Appears a super cold virus with symptoms similar to Covid-19

After having to deal with waves Covid-19 For a long time, Australians are being infected with a new virus strain. This virus is dubbed the “super flu”, attacking them with symptoms similar to people with Covid-19.

The familiarity of the symptoms made them suspect they had nCoV infection. However, all diagnostic tests were negative. Symptoms of people with this flu strain are sore throat, headache, muscle aches, runny nose, fatigue. Sometimes, the illness lasts for weeks.

The only difference is that people infected with the “super cold virus” will not lose their taste or smell like some F0. However, Australian authorities are encouraging anyone suspected of being infected to get tested.

The level of immunity in Australia is falling below a very low level, thousands of people poured into the streets after nearly two years of social distancing, returning to normal life. This creates conditions for emerging pathogens to emerge.

According to experts, the “super flu” virus spreads as violently as nCoV.

Since the end of 2021, severe flu infections have been reported in the UK, around the same time the country reopened. British experts had previously predicted the number of respiratory infections in general would increase, flu cases are no exception to this trend.

The flu also has symptoms such as headache, body aches, and fever and can take 10-14 days to recover.

Experts say long time of blockade, no contact virus It’s generally easy to get used to this by the respiratory system and can hurt when returning to normal life. In addition, a large number of tourists to Australia also bring strange pathogens.

Dr Ian Mackay, a virologist from the University of Queensland, said the traditional view that respiratory illnesses caused by cold weather had broken down following the arrival of Covid-19.

The most recent spikes in colds and flu in Australia occurred even in warm weather, suggesting it is related to immunity rather than season.

“Obviously, they don’t show up seasonally. That’s evidence that their emergence is based on the rate of immunity of the population. If immunity is low, these viruses can do what they like and at any time. whenever”Dr. Mackay in an interview with Sydney Morning Herald.
