Let the reader be warned - there is nothing new here, nothing you haven't heard. A cough cannot be hidden. Or can it?

Flu, coronavirus and whooping cough are circulating in the country, but it is still not too late to immunize. The director of the "Batut" Institute, Verica Jovanović, says that among the patients with the flu, the majority are children, but also that people with weak immunity are at risk.
Due to the large number of people suffering from flu, respiratory diseases, corona virus, whooping cough and other diseases, the question arises: how to protect yourself, whether you should wear masks again and whether the winter vacation will be extended for students
Whooping cough can infect both adults and children. Epidemiologist Zoran Radovanović told "Vreme" that, if parents do not vaccinate their children, death is possible in small patients.
Serbia has recorded a record number of whooping cough diagnoses in recent years, a disease that can be fatal for children. "For infections preventable by vaccination, it is important that the population be vaccinated," epidemiologist Zoran Radovanović told "Vreme".

"I'm not going to push the panic button on the pandemic based on what we know so far, but I'm very interested to see China's response and to see the WHO's assessment after that," said Brian McCloskey, a public health expert.
