1. The flu is not a life-threatening (for all) disease. “Public health has overstated the risk of flu-related death.” Even in the elderly, the risk of death is 1 in 1000, at max. – Washington Post. There are specific cases where people may be at higher risk for complications such as the elderly, young children, those who are immune-compromised, etc. If you or anyone you know does develop the flu, and you are concerned that their health is declining quickly, always seek medical attention.
