Death from the flu?

When I hear about people dying from influenza, I am very confused. How does one exactly die from the flu? Isn't it just weeks of incessant fever, coughs and sore throats?

The flu outbreak of 1918 killed 50-100 MILLION in one year around the globe....

You were alright in the morning and dead by dinner....caused a cytokine storm that basically filled your lungs with fluid in a few hours....

Usually, its pneumonia that gets you....

it can clog up the air passages and people can sufficate from it

Seems like I recall that 37,000 people die each year from the flu?? That would be old people and the very young. And the flu we usually get is mild.

If there's a severe flu (bird flu, or the old swine flu of 1918), it kills so quickly that your body can't respond to it. I seem to remember that just in October of 1918 we lost 195,000 Americans to the swine flu.

The story was you could get on the subway feeling OK and get off dead. That was a bad flu.
