1. flu

   The flu, or influenza, is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose, throat, and lungs. It typically presents with sudden onset of symptoms like fever, chills, muscle aches, headache, fatigue, sore throat, and cough. The illness can range from mild to severe, potentially causing complications such as pneumonia, heart problems, or death in people with weakened immune systems or other underlying conditions. It spreads primarily through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, or by touching a surface contaminated by the virus and then touching the mouth or nose.

Examples of FLU in a Sentence

1. The CDC:

   Flu activity is unusually low at this time but may increase in the coming months.

2. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:

   This particular pandemic is one where, I don't think nationwide there's been a single fatality under 25. For whatever reason it just doesn't seem to threaten, you know, kids, and we lose in Florida between five and 10 kids a year for the flu. This one, for whatever reason, much more dangerous if you're 65 and plus than the flu, no doubt about that, if you're younger it just hasn't had an impact. So that should factor into how we're viewing this.

3. Sarah Clark:

   We may see peaks of flu and COVID-19 at the same time, which could overwhelm the health care system, strain testing capacity and potentially reduce our ability to catch and treat both respiratory illnesses effectively.

4. Claudia Hoyen:

   I hope this makes a lot of seniors really excited about the news that they are now eligible for boosters if they're six months out, and as we're going into winter we want to be sure that everyone's immunity is up, so now would also be a good time for those seniors to go ahead and think about boosters and flu shots.

5. Chris Hayes:

   The risk went from something that we hadn’t really dealt with specifically like this before in our lifetimes – we hadn't quite had an illness this infectious and this possible to cause serious illness – to something that does look more like the flu. The flu of course can still be dangerous … but we don't orient our lives around the flu.
