It is ultimately our immune system that is responsible for death of the host. A very strong immune system flooding the tissues with mucous, and severe coughing to get rid of it and very high fever - all detrimental to a person and leave room for secondary infections like viral and bacterial pneumonia. Too big of a fight leaves the immune system paralyzed and opportunistic infections also can happen.....Basically, it is not the virus that kills us, but an over reactive immune system, just like for auto immune disorders and allergies. What will happen with a mild immune response? Virus comes, multiplies fast and would they automatically enter into an equilibrium? Then, leave the body slowly?
I truly enjoyed how this video displays information that would otherwise be quite boring in a textbook or dry spoken seminar. National Geographic gets it.
I still don't understand how people die from the flu because I had the flu many times before and I didn't die Probably my Lord and saviour is saying that I am not dying just yet, I still got a life to live
people die from flu if they have the weak immune system or the virus mutates while inside the body, but the most common cause is the vaccine, it is a bioweapon made by the government to give people the flu virus and kll them, the shot klls million kid eac day. pleae never get the flue vaccine, it is the killer of kid.
I had the flu when I was in my late 20's. The flu is no joke. I always thought it was like a and head cold or chest cold. NONE OF THE ABOVE. Terrible horrible body aches and a fever that made me hallucinate. Great video BTW. These are facts. Science is key.
as the virus is continuously changing, it's impossible to have a general cure at the moment. Maybe in 50 or 100 years there will be some technology for it
You can't every year the flu changes like how our bodies change everyday. 1 day the flu will have a specific gene then tomorrow it will look totally different because it multiplied and because the flu changes every year you can't have the same cure every year that will cure the flu 15 or 30 years from now. There's the H1N1 Influenza virus and then next year it might be something different
My sons and I have type a flu right now, it’s rough, I can’t wait to feel better. As a type 1 diabetic, it’s been a challenge for me. My boys are getting better though, thank God.
@Fallen OffTop That's certainly one way to suicide. You say stop eating meat and sugar (also known as carbohydrates). Little do you know that every plant contains carbohydrates, so essentially you're saying stop eating meat and vegetables.
Sleep, rest, then eat healthy foods are best ways to defeat viruses. Sleep is the best thing to do as it boosts the immune system and enables cells to be strong to fight the infected cells, according to doctors and scientists.
I've never had the flu. Years later I discovered I have the HLA-B27 allele which apparently provides a protective response to influenza. Perhaps that's why I've never gotten it.
The flu from birds can travel to pigs, and then to the people who eat the pigs. We live in the very fun times for the viruses. Let's hope the vaccines do help us !
Or , stop eating pigs like the Bible said .... God designed some animals NOT to be eaten and He told us which ones they are .... PS , I have NEVER EVER had a flu shot vaccine , and I never get a serious case of the flu .... I haven't had a serious flu in 20 years , and even then it was just "rest in bed eat chicken soup for 3 days" ..... My body has built up it's own immunity over the years
I had the flu a little while back and it was miserable I had a sore throat and I hallucinated every time I closed my eyes and I couldn’t breath out of my nose
I had a flu a year before corona. I was bed ridden for 7 weeks. My ears an nose were blocked, throat n muscles on fire. Seven miserable weeks, i was so ill and unhappy. I couldnt taste or smell. Just getting up to go toilet would cripple and exhaust me. Anyhoo... this is the story of my life every year sometimes 2 or 3 times p.a.
Prevent that from happening again. Introduce black seed oil to your system and start with half a teaspoon. And then start doing the Islamic dry fasting, from dusk till down two days a week.
Do you get your scheduled vaccines? You should be getting a flu vaccine every year. Also, you may have some sort of immune issue. If possible, please go and see a doctor about that.
I must add that since I stopped taking the voluntary flu shot, I have stopped getting sick from the Flu. Every year I took it previously, I would end up becoming sick. I'm not an anti-vaccine person by any means, I just know, I seem healthier without this shot in particular.
You do realize people have Iron deficiencies right? It's quite common. I know Canada isn't as corrupt as the states so do what you want but don't make your kids fall under your mistakes and misguide them. Especially when your healthcare isn't free. Too expensive to let them get sick because your lack of awareness/misjudgement.
I’m watching this while I have Flu A. So it’s my immune system making my lungs feel “staby-staby”? Influenza has landed me in the hospital before. Be safe, guys.
Got same staby staby feeling. I have/had Influenza A H3, stayed at the hospital for three days with oxigen, got me to almost pneumonia. I am better after 3 weeks of nightmare. But the cough and phlegm is still there.

I cant tell you the last time i had a cold or flu, it was like years ago but my friend who is a VEGAN and goes to the gym and eats healthy food gets sick like once a month, i eat brisket breakfast lunch and dinner with some gin and i never get sick am i lucky or a superhuman?
Your friend might be doing all that but they are having stress. Stress really lowers one's immunity. As much as You're taking care of yourself physically, mentally one needs not to be overstressed
The flu is a highly contagious respiratory illness that shows up year after year. Which fact about the flu virus intrigued you the most?
Oh, hi
I want to hear about how the body counteracts and attacks the flu and defeats it but none of that was in the video

the information about the Spanish flu was most interesting!

It typically lasts about a week. I have had it several times, and my body tends to fight it off a lot faster now.

@fallenofftop7181stop telling people what to do and worry about yourself :)
@Fallen OffTop you need meat to survive.
@Fallen OffTop a healthy diet contains meat. As meat us rich in protein. Without it we would be pretty unhealthy
@Fallen OffTop That's certainly one way to suicide. You say stop eating meat and sugar (also known as carbohydrates). Little do you know that every plant contains carbohydrates, so essentially you're saying stop eating meat and vegetables.

get vaccinated
Vaccine. And over the decades most population will develop their immunity to it
Can you make the video of corona virus
Oh no!
