Covid-19 remained a bigger killer than the flu last winter, despite hopes the pandemic virus would eventually blend into the background with other respiratory germs that cause seasonal epidemics, a US study showed.
Patients hospitalized for Covid had a 35% higher risk of dying within 30 days than influenza patients, Ziyad Al-Aly and colleagues at the clinical epidemiology center of the Veterans Affairs St Louis Health Care System in Missouri found. Covid posed a 60% higher mortality risk than flu in hospitalized patients during the 2022-2023 season, the same researchers showed last year.
Bird flu will totally be "just the flu," though. It's in the name!![blob-no-thoughts blob-no-thoughts](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1ef20b55-8fcc-4ed6-8fa2-57d4faa6b6a6.png)
I can't wait till it turns me into a bird. I hope I'm a crow!
I hope I turn into Michael Keaton.
