Flu

Fast Flu Facts

The flu is an airborne virus spread from one person to another by droplets from coughing or sneezing.
Although flu symptoms are felt throughout the body, the flu virus lives and multiplies primarily in the lungs.
Upset stomach and vomiting are not symptoms of the flu--"stomach flu" is usually caused by other microorganisms and is often mistakenly referred to as the "flu."

Is it a cold or the flu?
