Flu facts:
- It can take up to 3 days from the time you catch it to the time you notice symptoms.
- You still 'feel' sick for those 3 days prior to getting the symptoms. ("I think I'm getting sick")
- You stop being contagious about 2 days after you notice symptoms, even if symptoms persist for another 3-4 days.
- 50% of the time when you catch a virus, you don't actually get any coughing/sneezing symptoms at all, but you do get lethargy/lack of motivation. In other words you don't look sick, but you feel sick.
It's possible half the team were suffering from lethargy without even knowing they had a virus at the time. Some might 'get worse' today and tomorrow, and if they do, then it means they were suffering from sickness symptoms on Friday even though they didn't look sick.
Just some interesting facts about the immune system.

Pretty rarely, I hate it when people do that because it allows people to weasel out of providing a genuine argument by asking the wrong questions.
If the Q was a joke, it didn't hit the spot for me :hihi

Each year the WHO make an educated guess as to the three major strains of flu that will be prevalent that year. Viruses mutate, and which strains become prevalent in certain areas can vary. Hence the flu shot is not a guarantee.
Mind you I've had it the last five years through various employers and have not got the flu once in that time...
It would be highly unlikely that a club would come out publicly with that information as it would be almost saying we had an excuse for the loss. I've never heard a club do this.
