The forms result from the statistical surveys, which show the number of infections registered over a period of time—it is frequency distributions that assume waveforms. It should be noted that there are fundamental differences between an influenza wave and a COVID wave....
Silents were born to families who experienced the 1918 Great Influenza and have been characterized by conformity given that they grew up during World Wars and the Great Depression (Warner, 2018).In contrast to other generational cohorts, Silents (including the Greatest Generation in this analysis)...

High rates of hematuria and proteinuria have also been observed in COVID-19. The extent to which these findings differ from other severe viral respiratory illnesses is unknown. Although informal comparisons to influenza have been made, few direct comparisons have been performed. Literature on AKI ...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was detected in China during the 2019–2020 seasonal influenza epidemic.

(surface proteins, transcriptome and V(D)J sequences) to comparatively assess baseline immune statuses and responses to influenza vaccination in 33 healthy individuals after recovery from mild, non-hospitalized COVID-19 (mean, 151 days after diagnosis) and 40 age- and sex-matched control ...
National Institutes of Health who wrote a book on influenza, told the AP. Still, "they can do terrible things while they're raging." There was one important caveat to the latest milestone: The U.S. population was one-third of the size it is today, so the 675,000...
