The Uncommon Flu
The Morning Standard|January 22, 2023
The recent outbreak has shown the unexpected, disastrous face of the seemingly harmless common flu. Why is it particularly bad this time and how do we tame it?

The Uncommon Flu

SYMPTOMS OF BAD FLU

Fever or feeling feverish/chills

Cough Sore throat

Runny or stuffy nose

Muscle or body aches

Headaches

Fatigue (tiredness)

Vomiting and diarrhoea (more common in children than adults)

There are cafés that lull us into believing that all our woes will dissolve into thin air only if we relish that extra cup of cappuccino. For Sudeshna Saxena, a 27-year-old freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Bengaluru, an unassuming visit to her favourite café in the city turned out to be a nightmare.

Make no mistake: The iced latte was all right and the croissants fresh enough. Only her hair was wet and she was sitting right under the AC vent of the café. A day later, the cold gripped her. Or, so she thought. “It was the week when it rained heavily in the city, no thanks to the cyclonic disturbance in Tamil Nadu,” she recounts. “I didn’t think it was the flu until I started waking up every day over the next 10 days with sneezing fits and a runny nose that just wouldn’t stop.”
