Is it a cold or flu? Over 500 million respiratory diseases due to cold occur yearly, resulting in an overall cost of almost $40 billion each year. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that flu has resulted in 9 million to 41 million illnesses, 140,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 to 52,000 deaths annually between 2010 and 2020. The average reoccurrence of the common cold is five to seven times per year in preschool children and two to three times per year in adulthood. Colds account for 40 percent of time missed from work.
