You will only die from the flu IF:
•You have a weak immune system.
•You have AIDS.
•You commit Self Delete with the flu.
•You have no white bloodcells.
•You contract the black plague, and you become stranded in a jungle with absolutely no medical facilities near.
Really, everyone reported to have died from the flu was either too young and weak, or too old and weak. (Or they had a defense-busting disease.)
