The flu isn't a "mild illness" for everyone. Again, stop assuming that everyone is as healthy as you are. The flu kills many people every year.

- cortesoft 5y agoOf course, but I would say that most people who get the flu don’t experience bad enough symptoms to go to the doctor. I am not sure what your point is with the assuming everyone is healthy. No one is saying that the flu can’t be deadly. The entire thread is about how you calculate how many people got the flu in a year. Some people suffer severe symptoms from the flu, go to the doctor, and are recorded in the statistics as having had the flu. Many people, however, don’t have bad enough symptoms and therefore don’t go to the doctor and are not tracked in the statistics as having had the flu. The question is how do they figure out the actual rates when a large portion of cases are never recorded. What does my own health or the fact that the flu kills many people have to do with that question?
