Interesting question: Those with public exposure during flu season have a good chance of exposure ; getting the flu.If you have little public or social contact with others, you are at less risk. If you get it you will spread it. It is selective in its ability to kill some ; not others.We lost two pregnant ladies here one season in my town of 125, 000.I get it to avoid the disease ; avoid giving it to others.
