Double trouble? When a pandemic and seasonal virus collide

As healthcare capacities in the US and Europe reach their limits due to a surge in the COVID-19 pandemic, both regions enter the 2020-2021 influenza season. Southern hemisphere countries that had suppressed influenza seasons provide a hopeful example, but the lack of reduction in influenza in the 20...

description As healthcare capacities in the US and Europe reach their limits due to a surge in the COVID-19 pandemic, both regions enter the 2020-2021 influenza season.

The US and Europe must promote the implementation and continuation of these measures in order to prevent additional burden to healthcare systems due to influenza.
