Influenza

Hi, this has been on my mind for sometime now, and I wanted to ask you
all a few questions. I have read an article at Influenza . I was
reading about it on medical health care info
http://www.medical-health-care-information.com/encyclopedia/I/Influenza.asp
which says
Influenza (flu) is a viral upper respiratory illness that comes on
suddenly, causing symptoms such as fever, body aches, headache,
fatigue, loss of appetite, a dry cough, and a sore or dry throat. The
flu is not the same as the common cold; flu symptoms are usually more
severe, and you will often miss more work or school than you would
with a cold. Influenza viruses A and B cause the classic flu. Type A
is usually responsible for the outbreaks that occur annually. The flu
causes fever, cough, shaking chills, body aches, headache, and
fatigue. These symptoms usually last for 3 to 4 days, after which you
may have a dry cough, runny nose, and a sore or scratchy throat for
another week or so. The incubation period-the time from exposure to
the flu virus until you develop symptoms-is 1 to 4 days.....
While it must be true, I wonder what you have to say about it. Do let
me know! Regards, Leena
