And here we are, potentially on the cusp of another influenza pandemic. H3N2, or the “Australian flu” is making the rounds this year and has spread to the UK, among other countries. This map from the UK Sun shows the spread – and the potential for a pandemic.

This flu is particularly deadly. 745 people died from it in Australia in late 2017.

• aching body


• feeling tired or exhausted


• dry, chesty cough


• a sore throat


• a headache


• difficulty sleeping


• loss of appetite


• diarrhea or tummy pain


• nausea and being sick
