A group of researchers at Northwestern Hospital are researching why some people are more susceptible to getting the flu virus. If that's how you're feeling, Dr. Pedro Avila and his research team at Northwestern Hospital would like to see you before influenza really sets in and takes over your body. "A stuffy nose, you could have some mucus in your nose. And then, in addition to that, people can have a fever, and also, body aches," Dr. Avila says. "That's when we are looking at the response--the airway response. Like the upper airway, the nose and lung response to the flu to see what difference that makes and if you have the severe flu or mild flu." Dr. Avila says the first seven days of becoming ill are critical. They take vitals like height and weight and cultures are done on the patient's nose and throat.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
