Como si se tratara de una pesadilla o un apocalíptico capítulo de Black Mirror: El nuevo coronavirus no solo está mutando y burlando la eficacia de las vacunas, sino que cada día se detectan más casos de personas infectadas simultáneamente con los virus de la gripe y SARS-CoV-2, un raro fenómeno conocido como flurona.
Esta combinación de enfermedades se bautizó de esta forma debido a la mezcla del nombre de los dos virus en inglés: “Flu” y “Coronavirus”.

Se confirmó que la paciente no se había aplicado ninguna vacuna contra el coronavirus y al realizarle las pruebas, se detectó una infección simultánea de gripe tipo A o B y el coronavirus Sars-CoV-2.
Asimismo, este lunes España identificó sus primeros casos de flurona, todos con síntomas leves.
