Generally speaking you only tend to have one significant viral outbreak at a time in a specific population... they tend to crowd each other out. However anything is possible at this point.
A couple things that could happen though are one virus depletes are resources and weakens our immunity and that allows another to come as a follow on, or maybe we become so focused on one that we don't do a good job of monitoring other threats. |

I’m reading your question as asking if they can merge. Different classes of virus, so no.
If you mean emerge, then I guess all bets are off. Unlikely, but I guess it’s possible. |
