The flu is a highly contagious respiratory illness that shows up year after year. Which fact about the flu virus intrigued you the most?

@thecringeysavagegirl6640 5 лет назад

Oh, hi

@blountman747 4 года назад

I want to hear about how the body counteracts and attacks the flu and defeats it but none of that was in the video

@kumu2613 4 года назад

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?

@masterrblx3475 4 года назад

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.

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

@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.

@artfervorpaintings 4 года назад

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.
