    I think at this point “just a flu” means it’s endemic and the hospitals aren’t overflowing.

        What point do you think I made?

        It’s not literally influenza, but it is a communicable respiratory disease that is endemic at this point and while it can seriously mess you up, the chances are that it’s going to have you laid up for ~a week and you’ll eventually recover.
