Question

Is the flu always this dangerous or is it just the media playing on our fears?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry too much about the flu being as dangerous as they're making it out to be. But still don't take the flu too lightly because it can be dangerous enough to kill if the flu gets worse enough.

If you feel that the flu is getting worse or the flu has lasted longer than 10 days then you should get to the emergency room asap because it can be deadly.
