Title:  Confusion Between the Seasonal Influenza (Flu) And the Pandemic Covid-19: A Short Communication
Abstract:  Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection, while influenza viruses cause the seasonal influenza (flu). Since some of the symptoms are common, it can be difficult to distinguish between them solely on the basis of symptoms. In this review, we discussed about how people frequently confuse the seasonal influenza and the pandemic Covid-19. Although they share several similar characteristics, there are significant differences between them, and more is being discovered every day. Self-diagnosis and treatment are riskier and can result in more severe illnesses, so it is always preferable to see a doctor, get your symptoms evaluated to confirm the diagnosis, and receive the appropriate medication.
