No they don't, they have a cold.

Far to many people say they have "Flu" now because they are embarrased to take time off work with a common "cold".

Flu kills people and keeps them in bed for several days, a cold means you can still get up, make yourself some food, ring in sick, and watch Kilroy and Trisha.

Surely if it was the a cold you would have some immunity to it, from previous years where as there is a new varient of flu each year meaning that you don't have immunity to it, thus it is most likely that more people will become ill with it???

AFAICR the cold virus constantly mutates itself so you bever build up immunity to it - you are only ever immune to last week's version of the cold.

it was flu
Was it though. Chances are if you really had flu you wouldnt be able to get out of bed let alone go to work.

I had a what i thought was flu a couple of months back. I was breaking out in hot and cold sweats, severe headaches etc etc.

I went to see my gp and told him i had flu he said i never had flu and it was a very bad cold.

He said people think they have flu but you would be seriously ill a lot worse than i was and i thought i was dying lol.
