The viruses highly contagious nature shows us that its goal is to infect as many people as possible, as fast as possible. Influenza is not able to stay in one host long term, so it moves quickly, spreading like wildfire to anyone it can find. This quick movement makes it so that by the time the immune response occurs, its already spread. This is how to virus stays alive and outsmarts the immune system. Studies have also shown that influenza uses a protein to mask itself and enter the cell. This allows the influenza to spread before the immune system realizes. ]]> 2021-11-03 05:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863706660 jfanshawe0425 https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863709532 The doctor can confirm a positive flu case by using a nose or throat swab. ]]> 2021-11-03 05:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863709532 jfanshawe0425 https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863712209 The following symptoms will quickly be felt:

Once the virus is detected it will begin to fight it, but if the virus begins to spread, symptoms such as a fever and sore throat will be felt.]]> 2021-11-03 05:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863725797 jfanshawe0425 https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863732580 The success of the influenza is determined by how long it was able to stay alive in one host and how many other people it infected. The longer it stays in one host than the more of a chance of spreading it. Like other viruses, influenza cannot live without a host, so its main goal is not to kill. ]]> 2021-11-03 05:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863732580 jfanshawe0425 https://padlet.com/jfanshawe0425/5hth0kq69vpvwicg/wish/1863747622 1.
