The Argument

The spread of coronavirus and the flu virus at the same time may continue and worsen the outbreak. With the two viruses circulating in large amounts in the winter, scientists predict that the coronavirus may combine with the flu virus in the winter, resulting in a stronger mutated virus. This will lead to another stronger outbreak, making it very difficult to end the coronavirus as it is getting stronger. Even if the two viruses do not combine, the presence of coronavirus and flu-virus cases will overwhelm the healthcare system and may result in overcrowding and some people losing access to healthcare. Since both viruses have similar symptoms, it will also be very difficult to distinguish between a flu case and coronavirus case, making it very difficult to end the virus.
