We've all heard of the flu, and probably know that it is associated with a particular virus. What is the structure of this virus? How is it transmitted? What steps do we have in place in terms of treatment and prevention? The flu is actually no joke, lots of people die from influenza every year, so let's get a closer look now!

Dave the reason for the name "Spanish Flu" is because Spain finally confirmed the flu when other nations (USA, France, etc) would not. Spain was a neutral country during World War 1.

Great work, Professor Dave. Started following your channel about 6 months ago and haven't missed a new post yet. It's been fun going back to some of your older stuff, as well as checking out your earlier music career. The montage of the various Mario Bros. songs on the piano (for the kids?) was a lot of fun to watch.

I dont get it. Videos like this one that helps people out the most, very useful and can broaden people's understanding of current diseases and knowledge, gets so little views. I wish more people in this world was more inteligent and receptive of science instead of only watching videos that either cause polerization or about a topic where they can feel "superior". Keep up the good work Dave.

There is a reason the average term exists, average intelligence people continually watch those minuscule and nigh irrelevant topics while rarely focusing on important informative things like these. True above average people in intelligence are capable of reaching out and gaining information. To get knowledge you must eliminate or at least suppress obstacles masking information. Those videos gain views and pop up in your feed to mask informative videos like these

It's a great video, but I'd like to point out that there's a little mistake in the viral structure: what you called "capsid" is actually a protein matrix (the inner layer of the envelope). Influenza A has a nucleocapsid, thus the "capsid" arrow should point to the proteins surrounding the RNA.

Hi Professor Dave Explains, when they make flu vaccines, what part or parts of the flu virus(es) specifically are they putting into the vaccines? I keep coming hearing they are adding strains of what they figure will show up most, but I don't know precisely what is meant by strains. I would assume this means that they are putting small amounts of the whole of a virus molecule, comprising the protein spikes, sphere and RNA within. Is that what is meant by a strain? Thank you.

Hey, Dave, what is the difference between the three classes of the flu? (Influenza A,B,C) I've tried finding difference sources but some are a little confusing in their explinations.

@HeyImLucious 4 жыл бұрын

Difference is: all 3 cause the flu. Type-A can infect a wide variety of animal hosts. Type-B can only infect humans. Type-C also can only infect humans but type-C causes much less severe symptoms on average.

I am 85 years old. I tested negative at the Dr. office for the flu. But specimen sent to lab indicated Influenza A. Can’t recall ever being this sick. Most symptoms are almost gone, but general weakness keeps me close to the couch. I did get the flu vaccine in early November. I’ve also had all Covid shots to date. So my question is..did the vaccine protect me at all? And how did I get a negative result at Dr. office but positive from the lab? Please clarify my confusion. Thx.

So with other words, the Plague doctors was on the right track but did not identify the right way of the spread. A mask that cover the whole face, stuffed with things that suck up moist, then cover body with a hoodie that cover the head and neck area too, then gloves and boots, that almost sounds how I want to dress when I go to the store. Like a face mask that cover mouth and nose and have filters I can replace, some swim goggles (behind some shades), and latex gloves; and then when I come home use something that almost is like the Miasma theory by washing hands 30 to 40 seconds two times in soap that make my hands smell like roses and lavendel.

By talking about the flu and not talking about coronavirus he leaves the politics that have been built up around it out of the conversation. Many of the thing in this video will have parallels with the coronavirus, granted it would be nice to have a video on SARs and MERs coronaviruses to help explain the current virus.

I have a possibly stupid question. Are viruses actual living animals? Because they seem to function in a way that seems more like a machine than a living organism.

@Tornadopelt 4 жыл бұрын

They're not considered alive, even though they can be killed. Viruses are in a sort of "grey" area between clearly not alive and clearly alive, but they cannot reproduce on their own and they don't maintain internal homeostasis, two of the most important requirements for something to be alive.

Don't worry, we have a vaccine, but herd immunity hasn't been achived because of anti vaccers, actually!

@sudsy0666 4 жыл бұрын

The flu shot is not a guarantee that the recipient will not catch the flu. They have no way of immunizing against undiagnosed mutations. Flu vaccination effectively works in approximately about half of the healthy adults under the age of 65, that are vaccinated. The vaccine is not a silver bullet cure all. Some people that have been vaccinated may still catch the virus after having the flu shot, but the risk of illness is still reduced.

I don't really understand the whole issue with the Spanish Flu name. Like, yeah its not 100% factually accurate because Spain was simply the first to admit it struck their country but... its just a name. Just like how the West Nile Virus is just a name. Nobody is going around saying "damn those Spaniards, always getting sick n shit, why can't they be more like Portugal- the *better* Iberians" or anything else stupid like that. I just... I don't see the controversy that evidently exists.
