The big picture
We’re now well into November, and flu cases are already picking up. Add to this the pressures of coronavirus – and reports that show that covid-19 is more deadly when flu is thrown into the mix – and it’s all the more reason to get on top of your immunity.
The British Medical Journal reported in September 2020 that those who had both diseases were ‘twice as likely to die’ as those with coronavirus alone, looking at cases between January-April this year. In addition, those with both illnesses were more susceptible to severe illness. The findings quoted Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, as saying that ‘’coinfection with influenza and covid-19 produces bad outcomes.’’
In addition, The Lancet – the medical community’s premier journal – describes coronavirus and flu as a ‘double threat’ and warns that flu is ‘notoriously difficult to predict’. More information is needed on whether a patient with one virus is more likely to contract the other.
Signs of flu
Signs and symptoms of the common cold, flu and coronavirus have been well-documented, but little has been shared in recent weeks about flu itself. The NHS lists the following as key symptoms of the illness:
- Aches and pains
- Tiredness and exhaustion
- A fever (temperature over 38C)
- Dry cough and sore throat
- Headache
- Loss of appetite, diarrhoea, nausea and sickness
- Difficulty sleeping
Doctors advise that sleep, keeping warm, keeping hydrated and using over-the-counter pain relief (such as ibuprofen and paracetamol) can help get over the illness.
