It turns out that some people have got it into their heads that the flu virus does not kill. Like you need to get sick with the flu, and then, out of your own stupidity, you also need to pick up bacterial pneumonia. And already bacterial pneumonia will deal with the victim in its own way.
Something you, brothers, go from one extreme to another. The flu virus, of course, predisposes to the development of bacterial pneumonia, but he himself will deal with you. This is the virus that caused the 1918 massacre. Forgot?
Or do you think that those poor fellows a hundred years ago should have been locked up and quietly get sick with the flu without other complications? It doesn't work that way.
Of course, you can die from the flu itself without any other helpers.
The flu virus takes up residence in the cells of the respiratory tract, and they die. Another influenza virus itself provokes bleeding. And also from the influenza virus there may be encephalitis, or the heart may refuse.
So get the flu vaccine too. This infection is less lethal, but still lethal. This is the only way to die.
People die from the flu at any age. The worst, of course, will be for children under 5 years old, the elderly, pregnant women and people with chronic diseases.
But if we go back to that massacre of 1918, then it mowed down a lot of young people aged 15 - 35 years. So don't expect to sit out or hide behind your natural immunity. Once again, such a strain will roll over and kill a lot of people. Get the flu vaccine.
Maybe I missed something, and this is some new trendy bike? Tell us. Do not be shy.
