That's what I thought. If influenza is a respiratory ailment, how could it make you poop and puke?
Are people equating food poisoning/gastro-intestinal bugs with the flu?
When you get a flu shot, what is that for?
I think when most people/doctors are talking about the "flu", they are really referring to stomach bugs.
