Many have the flu: Flu season is here. As with all infectious diseases, some people are more likely to catch a disease, while others are less likely to. A person who has close contact with many other people will be exposed to more sick people, and will be more likely to catch the flu. Someone who has no protection from past flu shots or flu illnesses, will more easily get the disease after exposure to the viruses.

Difficult to say: Flu is usually diagnosed based on local disease patterns and symptoms. There are confirmatory tests which can check for Type A or B influenza if there is need to confirm and if treatment is an option. Usually, they are swabs of the mucus produced during symptoms. Current medications for treating flu have guidelines about who would need them.
