He probably genuinley has the flu... whilst all these other people are either making excuses or had a cold or some other infection or virus.

People through the word Flu around for any illness that involves having a blocked nose and sneezing etc... those are just minor symtoms of the flu... the fatigue is very high... like I said to high for you to be able to make it into the ring just about... this is not an exageration...

people at work all the time say "I had the flu" when they were off... the Flu is not that common, I have had my fair share of colds and have had the Flu once in my life time...

I couldn't make it up the stairs with out nearly blacking out.

You can die from having the Flu for gods sake... people just like to through it around because a cold sounds weak.
