"once or twice in our lives"
flu is a seasonal illness, unless you're a complete shut in, you get it much more frequently than that, considering the modern diets and vitamin deficiencies.
- somewhereoutth 5y agoExcept that is not true. We get the common cold quite often, but real flu very rarely. If you get the flu you know about it - it is much more severe than the common cold (which is why it kills people).
- kodachrome64 5y agoI've heard "if you get the flu you know it" spread around the internet for years, but given what we know now about the wide range of severity in cases of covid can that really be said with any confidence? Are we certain there aren't people who get the flu and are asymptomatic, or who just end up with mild to moderate cold symptoms?
