Lorenzo Armenteros , representative of the Spanish Society of General Practitioners and Family Physicians ( SEMG ), explains to this medium what the current situation is: “The Sivira data are based solely on the alert network, with random cases that are not significant . In primary care (PC) it is even more random than in hospitals, because the sentinel centers of the alert network sometimes perform a complete series of tests (covid, influenza A, influenza B) in those who have a respiratory infection . exists “, says Armenteros.

In fact, he mentions the non-seasonality of the SARS-CoV-2 virus : “If we extrapolate an increase in respiratory diseases that does not correspond to the times we are in, where the seasonality of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza ( A or B) are usually exceptional, we can consider that many of the respiratory infections we observe are Covid. But we can’t prove it, since we don’t have the ability to do so , we can consider them to be more like influenza or RSV. It is seasonal and in fact the big omicron that we had and that almost everyone caught it from was in one summer.
