Whenever I had the flu, I just went through it. Maybe some medicine to feel less sick, but nothing to actually prevent it from killing me.
We all have an immune system that is used to combating the flu.
The germs you’d get in contact with from a basic lack of hygiene, that’s what will get you.
Note that I’m a healthy 30-something person, so the flu is not much of an issue for me. I don’t want to disminish its deadlines on people with lower immune systems, but they would suffer in environments with bad hygiene even worse.
That was mostly a general statement rather than specifically about influenza. People often died from things that we don’t worry about in the modern era. Stuff much worse than influenza that we don’t need to worry about today we’re devastating back then, like smallpox. Perhaps I should have used smallpox as an example, since this is a disease that literally doesn’t exist anymore.
