It starts off with just one simple virus cell entering your body, then ends up with you getting very sick, and sometimes dying. The flu spreads very fast but the immune system has to be faster to catch the viruses. There is a cell that guides the virus down to the control center so it makes more.This video was so realistic that it was quite disturbing, even though I learned about the flu. I think these graphics were a little too good.
So now after you have watched this video, you should think twice about covering you nose when you sneeze and always wash your hands.
Also, read Anya's story about the cat that caught the swine flu and what humans can do to avoid catching spreading the flu.
