CNN)A second coronavirus outbreak could emerge this winter in conjunction with the flu season to make for an even more dire health crisis, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told The Washington Post in an interview.
"There's a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through," CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a story published Tuesday. "And when I've said this to others, they kind of put their head back, they don't understand what I mean."
"We're going to have the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same time," he added, predicting a dual assault on the health care system.
While there are shots to help prevent the flue and drugs to help treat it -- unlike with the novel coronavirus, which still has no approved treatment or vaccine -- it remains a deadly infection.
virus worse in the winter...
CDC leadership[edit]

Redfield has served as the director of the CDC since March 26, 2018.[11] In his inaugural address to the CDC Redfield said "[The agency is] science-based and data-driven, and that's why CDC has the credibility around the world that it has.”[11] He was nominated for the post by President Donald Trump, after the President's first appointee resigned in scandal[12]. His nomination was considered controversial, and was opposed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which cited Redfield's lack of experience administering a public health agency, his history of scientific misconduct, and his religious advocacy in response to a public health crisis.[13] Earlier reporting refers to his advocacy of a religious agenda in response to the AIDS crisis [14]
