I've already caught it. The flu itself wasn't bad but I got a bit of a secondary infection in my gut that made me constipated for a few days which made me unable to eat which made me weak for a few days. My elderly parents had some lung problems.
I'd say it was slightly worse than a typical flu. Not something I would destroy the world over or inject myself with untested crap for.
My parents were out for about two weeks. They were fine the moment they got some medicine which all the doctors refused to prescribe. I'm pretty sure the medical system is more dangerous than this flu.
Iatrogenic: Due to the activity of a physician or therapy. For example, an iatrogenic illness is an illness that is caused by a medication or physician.

I believe it was buednisone. A steroid they breathed directly into their lungs with a nebulizer.
