SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, influenza, and influenza‐like illness epidemics: Allies or enemies?

The relationship between the epidemiology of pathogens that can contribute to influenza-like illness (ILI) and SARS-CoV-2 is a currently debated topic: this report analyzes how the two epidemics influenced each other and the potential causes that may have contributed to variations.
