One of the issues with the flu is that it bends your physiology to the breaking point. You cannot control your temperature, your pulse won't regulate, your blood pressure hits the floor. You can't eat or drink. All "non-essential" functions are shut down.
Now let's introduce a little Staph into the air. A healthy body would never even give that bug a chance to infect you, but now? Staph pneumonia gets an opportunity and you're dead in 12 hours (despite antibiotics).
Or that fatal heart attack your body had planned for age 70? After the flu has pounded your body for a week you might get your heart attack 30 years early.
The flu exhausts your bodys "reserve". If you didn't think you were going to die, you probably didn't have the flu.
