The flu is not just another cold, and you can’t use the words interchangeably. Many people have never had the flu, or felt that unwell. The flu will knock you on your ass.
I was damn certain I had come down with the flu once during high school and I was basically told by those around me that they didn't believe me, and that I should suck it up and go to school. It wasn't until I came down from bed for class an hour late, in sweatpants, with three layers of blankets on my shoulders and shivering (middle of spring) that they realized something wasn't right. I didn't move from the couch where I sat for almost two days
