What Is the Flu? Influenza (also called "the flu") is a contagious respiratory virus that affects hundreds of thousands of people every year. It can cause mild to severe symptoms, and in some cases, death. Approximately 5-20% of the population gets the flu each year, with children ages 5-14 being 2 to 3 times more likely to contract the flu, due to the close proximity of other school-aged children. In 2005 in the United States, approximately 35,000 people died from the flu; most people that are not at high risk of complications, however, get better within one week.
