Flu? Pah. I've had pneumonia twice. Then you really know you are ill.
First time I was about 15 and primary antibiotics sorted it. Second time I was about 40 and secondary cleared it up. A bit of coronavirus going to my lungs and a hospital admission could be required assuming there are any beds available.

I had pneumonia last year. Complication of some cracked ribs.
Being a fool, I didn't find out that I had cracked ribs and pneumonia for five weeks after the accident. Turns out that pneumonia can randomly be quite mild in some people. Only found out after a chest x-ray and I was already on the mend by then.
I think they called it "walking" pneumonia.

Have had pneumonia once and ended up in hospital. Have reduced lung capacity from birth, scary moment as the mask caused me to panic quite a few times. Twice must have been really scary.

Yup, i've had real flu twice and it made even the heaviest of colds feel like a walk in the park.
