Whats the ratio of asymptomatic vs mild symptoms vs severe symptoms for influenza infections? (I often hear things like "if its not severe then you dont have the real flu but just a common cold", is this true?)
Is it possible to get an influenza infection from asymptomatic virus carriers, similar to COVID? Do you have any numbers?
