Because it spreads more quickly than a hidden virus
Because the influenza viruses begin affecting you as soon as you are infected and start reproducing as soon as they are in the target cells of your respiratory system. Active viruses do not invade and then remain dormant to produce new symptoms in the future (sometimes the distant future).
