Question

What is the difference between a cold and the 'flu?

Answer

John - It's very difficult to say. Many different viruses cause flu-like symptoms and on the other side, flu causes a range of symptoms. So, without testing somebody serologically, we can't really tell whether somebody has got flu or not.
