Seems to be the most common sentiment.. at the same time, when you catch the flu and have mild symptoms, you don’t go to the doctor for it so you probably never know you even had it.

I've had varying degrees of sickness from the flu over my life. I feel like I've got a pretty good immune system. I've had two cases of the flu put me on my ass, which led to pneumonia each time. That's something you don't want to mess around with. Both cases were after I turned 40.
Aside from those two instances, I haven't really stayed in bed due to a flu. I even had Covid twice and it wasn't that big of a deal aside from losing taste/smell for a few days. I was tired, but not to the point where I couldn't push through and keep working (from home, so as not to infect co-workers). My job, however, is not demanding physically, as my biggest workplace injury fear is carpal tunnel.
