Of course, it requires the patient to catch both. But I haven't heard of 2 different viruses combining in that way.I have heard of two versions of COVID in one patient though, I suppose it depends on the mechanics or chemistry of the situation.
Basically, they said if there are enough such cases, it will happen eventually, I presume they mean case counts in the millions.
Cynics will claim researchers talking about this stuff are just using scare tactics to encourage vaccination, but they weren't particularly emotive about the issue, just talked some cold hard facts and highlighted that while the chance isn't high, it is not zero either.
