Unless you are in a terrible health, are from a young age or a senior you should not be worried. I expect the flu to hit with me any time now! I have it every year. The past 5 years everytime in January just after the holidays. 2 years ago I got it really bad and almost ended up in hospital. Was out more then 2 weeks from the flu. Don"t worry, worrying causes stress and stress affects your immune system ;)

I belive most people who are dying from the flu are suffering from pnemonia as well. (Complication of the flu)

If you get the flu just take care of yourself....don't over exhert yourself and you should be fine.

Usually when you get the flu you feel like you have been ran over by a mac truck. Sore throat, achey and sore all over, high fever, sinuses are going crazy, and vomitting. Basically, you have to just take care of yourself, take meds to help with the symptoms and make sure you drink lots of fluids like water, gatorade or powerade. It is easy to dehydrate, which can cause lots of problems.

If you are taking care of yourself then you shouldn't have any problems. If you think you are getting that bad, call or go to the doctor. I just got over a sinus infection, which was treated with antibiotics. If when you blow your nose it is yellow or green, more than likely it is an infection and can be treated with antibiotics.

If your worried about compications from the flue (ie Pnemonia) stay far away from anyone with a cold or broncitus usually that is what turns the flue into pnemonia 914 times and counting here ,and every time you get pnemonia it scars your lungs ...fun hmmmm?
