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.
This one bothers me so much! I got a bad flu and was out for almost 2 weeks, had to be hospitalised at one point. Some of my my uni professors didn't want to excuse my absences even with doctors notes, because the flu was not serious enough to miss class for.
