Exactly this. I had flu a few years ago and genuinely thought at points if I'd been older it would have finished me off

I did a BSL course a few years ago and my tutor was deaf due to 'flu.
Also: people who say they have the flu when they really have a cold.
"won't be in work today, I have the flu" returns the next day with a pack of lemsips and runny nose. mugs. -
In Northern Ireland "flu kills" and "it's not just a flu" signs are plastered all over ambulances and bus stops / bus ads signs etc.
If you can still walk out of bed, it's not the flu I was told.

I hate people who downplay Covid by saying it will be ‘just like flu’ as though flu is something that doesn’t floor you for the best part of a fortnight of agony, weird fever dreams and endless shitting.
I can only assume they’ve never had actual influenza and are mistaking it for a bad cold they once had.
