Asymptomatic Flu???

Am I the only one that didn’t know you could have the flu and be asymptomatic? All these years I thought I had an excellent immune system.
We’ve never had “just in case” testing for asymptomatic spreaders of the flu have we?

The commonly cited 5% to 20% estimate was based on a study that examined both symptomatic and asymptomatic influenza illness, which means it also looked at people who may have had the flu but never knew it because they didn’t have any symptoms. The 3% to 11% range is an estimate of the proportion of people who have symptomatic flu illness.

Probably. Do you even science, baw?

That’s one reason why death rate per case is a stupid comparison.

No such thing as asymptomatic flu. Covid is not the flu.

Makes more sense now.
Seriously, though, I think you can have pretty much any infection without symptoms. Just because you catch a cold or virus doesn't mean your immune system will just throw in the towel from the get go.

Speak for yourself. I don't assume anyone's gender.

You probably do have a good immune system if you are asymptotic from upper respiratory infections
