From Wikipedia:
The World Health Organization estimates that 2–3% of those who were infected died (case-fatality ratio). It is estimated that approximately 30 million were killed by the flu, or about 1.7% of the world population died...
This flu killed more people in 24 weeks than HIV/AIDS killed in 24 years...
In the U.S., about 28% of the population of 105 million became infected, and 500,000 to 675,000 died (0.48 to 0.64 percent of the population).

The flu? What’s that....i think you Yanks are a bunch of softees.
Had your annual Flu Shot cupcake have we?
Bunch of hypochondriacs wanting that quick fix that never works.
Take it like a man/woman and have a dose of the flu.
Adds grit to your being.
Had the flu years ago and stuck it out. Couldn’t stand up. Flu shots didn’t exist in the old days.
I wouldn’t dream of having a flu shot. Waste of time and money. Just keep working and get busy. Too much hype
