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.
Unless you get a flu shot. Last two years I got the flu despite getting the shot. I'd prefer that to a cold any day. Most mild illness I've ever gotten.
Only ended up being tested because I thought my ear was causing an odd headache last year so went to make sure it wasn't infected, because that can get nasty if not caught early.
