The problem is not the disease, the problem is the amount of time that journalists with nothing better to do spend writing earnest articles like this one to scare people into taking time off.

Every winter flu takes between 5,000 and 8.000 people who are old, unwell or very young without the necessary immune system.

Consider also the vaccine.
The best you can hope for is that if taken within 48hrs of the onset, it might shorten the illness by twenty four hours.
The worst is that the vaccine could kill you.
They kept that quiet.
