A Los Angeles County COVID-19 testing site confirmed the first local case of “flurona,” or influenza combined with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus that causes COVID-19, coming after a teen in Texas confirmed he was diagnosed with the two viruses.

Authorities at the 911 COVID-19 testing site in Brentwood, California, confirmed a child tested positive for COVID-19 and influenza A. The boy’s mother also tested positive for COVID-19.
