Today we’re going to talk about the coronavirus vs. flu differences and similarities.

Flu vs. coronavirus symptoms:

Influenza symptoms:
• Aches
• Fatigue
• Chills
• Headaches

Both the flu and the coronavirus can be transmitted the same way. A few ways they can be transmitted are:
• Sneezing
• Coughing
• Contact

• The coronavirus symptoms come on more gradually between three to seven days.

• The flu virus targets the elderly, people with a weak immune system, people with a chronic health problem, children, and pregnant women.
• The coronavirus targets the elderly and people with pre-existing health problems.

Coronavirus vs. flu recent CDC estimates (October 2019-March 7th 2020):

Influenza in the USA alone:
• 51 million infections
• 24 million medical visits
• 670,000 hospitalizations
