Yes, influenza can be deadly in humans. It is caused by several different strains of viruses that are continuously mutating. That is why it is so hard to control and to find just the right vaccine to give each year.

It's a super long name for the flu. It usually doesn't kill people, but it can. It usually depends on the victims overall health and lifestyle. People who are generally unhealthy, don't exercise, drink, and eat unhealthy foods, are at more risk of dieing, than those who do exercise and eat healthy. But some are just those unlucky ones whose DNA causes them to have weaker immune systems. But generally, if you stay healthy and take a multivitamin, you shouldn't be at too much, if any, risk.
