Highlights: The last three months have been very difficult for all of us, and now the weather also provides us with coughs, colds and raging viruses, including Corona. The good news is that the likelihood of the same severe corona epidemic we experienced in the past is behind us, but there is also bad news. Dr. Chris Smith, a virologist at the University of Cambridge, revealed the discovery in a recent interview with the BBC. "Occasionally we see people diagnosed with two, sometimes three, viral infections at the same time," he said.


If you feel that everyone around you is coughing and has a cold, you are not alone in this feeling • The good news is that the likelihood of a severe corona epidemic that we experienced in the past is behind us, but there is also bad news


The last three months have been very difficult for all of us, and as if that wasn't enough, now the weather also provides us with coughs, colds and raging viruses, including Corona.

But for some reason it seems that this winter is a little different from other winters, and it seems to us that everyone is sick now.

The good news is that the likelihood of the same severe corona epidemic we experienced in the past is behind us, but the bad news is that it turns out that you can get several types of flu and viruses at the same time.

Dr. Chris Smith, a virologist at the University of Cambridge, revealed the discovery in a recent interview with the BBC. "Occasionally we see people diagnosed with two, sometimes three, viral infections at the same time," he said in an interview.

everyone is sick now

So, if you or someone close to you has had a "horrible cold" in the past month that just won't go away, Dr. Smith says it's likely that you "got several things at the same time or one after another.

Like a domino effect."

Not only that, but Dr. Smith said that the lockdowns associated with the coronavirus pandemic have left us with "immunity debt." This is because we've gotten sick less than we normally would, meaning our immune systems need some time to adjust back to the world.

After several difficult years of epidemics, Dr. Smith said that Corona ranks low on the list of diseases that plague us this year. Instead, we can blame different strains of influenza and respiratory viruses. "People have short memories and have somewhat forgotten how we experienced diseases such as influenza and respiratory viruses that cause for a cough before the corona closures.

It seems that people are paying more attention to all kinds of symptoms since the Corona era."

were we wrong

We will fix it!
