The flue has been particularly bad this year in many countries around the world. A summary of current flue activity from the WHO including a map is here. The worst hit countries are Europe, N. Africa & Asia. If you want to avoid the flue, move to Russia, Chile, South Africa or Australia.

Can't notice the flue symptoms at all when I'm zonked right out.

australia is in the middle of summer. they are over the flu season, but they did get hit pretty hard during the winter and that was a heads up that it was going to be bad in the northern hemisphere.
so to avoid winter stuff like the flu, stay in the summer year round. head WAY south in October or so and come back WAY north in april or so.!
