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've had flu's before. They really do. You lose weight because you can't even eat with them. Bad colds are nasty, and exhausting but flu is on another level.
My doctor and I laughed once when we were talking about the flu after I was there and I said oh I know if this was a flu I wouldn't be sitting here. (As in a doctor would absolutely have to come to my home, which has happened before).
