I always wondered the difference between a flu and a cold and I came to the conclusion a flu is just a way worse cold. You usually get a higher fever, more body aches and weakness with a flu and probably more likely to get pneumonia with the flu. Honestly all upper respiratory infections look similar, it just differs in severity and of course how they diagnose it. Right now everything is being diagnosed as COVID that would have been labelled influenza in the past.I lost sense of smell and taste when I got colds. Not in the recent years but into my 20s at least. I remember eating meals and not being able to taste anything.
As for the flu disappearing, what is ‘the flu’ anyway?
