How many other common viral diseases have such a range of symptoms, including none?

Do we ever get the flu and not notice?  Maybe.  Does it ever hit us with mild symptoms?  THe times I've had flu I was pretty sick.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2014/03/17/290878964/even-if-you-dont-have-symptoms-you-may-still-have-the-flu

But just because you don't exhibit these symptoms, it doesn't mean you don't have the flu, researchers say. And you could be just as contagious. In fact, their study found that roughly three-quarters of people with seasonal or pandemic flu show either no symptoms or mild ones that aren't usually linked to flu.

Weird, I did not know that.  

The study tracked nearly 5,500 people across England over six flu seasons between 2006 and 2011, including the 2009 H1N1, or swine flu, pandemic. Researchers drew blood samples before and after each season from each participant to check for signs of the infection.

They then contacted each household every week to check for cough, cold, sore throat or flu-like illnesses. Those who reported these symptoms then submitted nasal swabs to test for influenza and other respiratory illnesses.
Roughly 1 in 5 unvaccinated people was infected with the flu virus each winter, the study found, but only a quarter of those people showed any symptoms of the infection. And only 17 percent of those infected were sick enough to see a doctor.

For most people, you wouldn't.  If I think I have the flu, I don't go to the doctor, I just stay home and let it run it's course.


But I haven't had it for years (that I know of), and I get the flu shot every year.  I probably haven't had it since Tamiflu became available.

That's a lot of folks with flu walking around.  No wonder it can spread "virally".  Last year was ultra low, a thing which is interesting.

ultra low as was reported

perhaps just as many had the flu but didn't seek help from the doctor and therefore weren't reported

I've had the flu around a dozen times, but never told anyone that I was certain I had the flu nor did I go to the Doc.

When I was young, my mother may have consulted with or drug me to the doctor

Travel to/from China was shut down. That had to help with the flu numbers.

Eh. Flu is endemic, so I don't think travel to our from any specific country makes a difference.

Everything was altered (masks, distancing, school, work from home, etc), which I figure is at least an order of magnitude, maybe two, stronger of an explanation than shutting down travel to and from China.

Yeah, but with flu, just like with COVID, once it arrives in one person, it spreads on its own. Nobody except maybe New Zealand was truly locked down from travel.

The US had a flu season. The flu was here. Spread was attenuated by behavior.
