It doesn't have to be more dangerous to cause serious implications. That half your hockey team was sick with the flu only proves that this is NOT a 'dud'. It is a very contagious flu that (a) can be spread to those that are high risk, (b) put strain on already crowded emergency rooms and pulling doctors away from scheduled surgeries and (c) cause work place shortages.
