What are Influenza and COVID-19?

The seasonal flu or influenza is caused by contagious influenza viruses that can infect the throat, nose, and, sometimes,
the lungs.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that influenza can cause mild to severe illness,
usually caused by two main types of influenza virus – type A and type B. The influenza type A routinely spread in people, which
is responsible for seasonal flu epidemics every year. On the other hand, influenza type B is found only in humans and causes
only mild illness.
The first symptoms of COVID-19 and influenza (flu) are similar, wherein patients experience fever and respiratory
symptoms, such as cough and sore throat.
With the flu, the most common symptoms include cough, colds, headaches, sore throat, fever, chills, fatigue, muscle
aches, and sore throat. Vomiting and diarrhea are usually frequent in children.
In the early stages, COVID-19 has lesser symptoms, which include fever, tiredness, dry cough, red eyes, and in some
cases, loss of taste, and smell.
Some patients may experience nasal congestion, sore throat, and diarrhea. These symptoms usually worsen gradually.
When symptoms progress, the person may experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. Those who are at higher risk of
severe disease may develop severe illness, characterized by pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and
eventually, multi- organ failure and death.
