During an epidemic, GP consultation rates forinfluenza-like illness may reach 450 per 100,000 population or over a week.
That all depends on the season or setting. Cold and flu viruses are very contagious in the winter, and sometimes fall. But usually, it depends where you are. If you are at, let's say, a SCHOOL, there would be a greater risk of catching the flu, since many school kids get sick all throughout the year. So, in conclusion, influenza is quite common, but if you know how to stay away from it, and protect yourself from the virus, you'll have a less of a chance of catching it.

What is the causative organism of seasonal influenza?
The common cold is an upper respiratory tract infection of viral origin, usually caused by a rhinovirus (up to 40% of colds), or by Coronaviruses (about 20%). These are the more common viruses, but there are more than 200 different viruses (some say as many as 700) that can cause the common cold. There are a huge number of different viruses from a number of different viral 'families' that cause cold symptoms. This is the main reason there is no vaccine for the common cold - there are simply too many different viruses to develop vaccines specific to each virus, and before a vaccine can be developed for a new viral mutation, it can mutate again.
