Hola, iam Ronald Lugo, Have a good day!
Oh man, this flu season is no joke! With the added threat of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to take precautions and tell the flu to hit the road. Washing your hands regularly, wearing a mask in public, and getting your flu shot are all great ways to stay healthy. Let’s do our part to keep ourselves and our communities safe!
How Do You Tell If I Have The Flu Or Covid? [Solved]
COVID-19 and the flu have a lot in common when it comes to symptoms. Y’know, fever, chills, cough, fatigue, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose - the usual suspects. Plus muscle pain or body aches and headaches. Oh yeah, and don’t forget vomiting or diarrhea. Ugh!
Transmission: Flu is spread through contact with respiratory droplets from an infected person, while COVID-19 is spread through contact with respiratory droplets or contact with contaminated surfaces.
Symptoms: Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches and fatigue; while COVID-19 symptoms include fever, dry cough and shortness of breath.
Treatment: Both flu and COVID-19 can be treated with rest and over-the-counter medications to reduce symptoms; however, there is no specific treatment for either virus at this time.
Vaccines: There are vaccines available for the flu that can help prevent infection; however, there is currently no vaccine available for COVID-19.
Prevention: The best way to prevent both flu and COVID-19 is to practice good hygiene such as washing your hands often and avoiding close contact with people who are sick or have been exposed to the virus
Flu and COVID-19 are both contagious illnesses, but they’re not the same. Flu season typically runs from October to May, while COVID-19 is a newer virus that’s been around since late 2019. Both can cause similar symptoms like fever, cough, and fatigue, so it’s important to know the difference between them. If you think you have either one, get checked out right away - don’t wait!
