Flu tends to have a 2-year up and down cycle: last season flu incidence was fairly low; the year before it was extremely high with 50,000 people known to have died in the USA and about 8,000 in Germany (the numbers are a bit understated because many died from complications arising from influenza such as severe brochitis or pneumonia). Sudden outbreak of fever is the main initial symptom. If you have not been vacinated, you should nevertheless get to the doctor within two days and he can help deal with the symptoms and prevent complications arising. cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm
