What Is The Flu And Why Does It Matter?

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads mainly through tiny droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can travel up to six feet and may enter the mouth or nose of people nearby. Flu symptoms can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, it may lead to pneumonia, bronchitis, ear infections, or even death.
