My internal dialogue would be that if I was ill enough to need to take a day off work I had a 'virus' or a 'bug' more severe than the 'common cold'.

My understanding is that most of these are actually common cold; influenza is quite a bit beyond 'stay home from work' and into 'go see the doctor if at all possible' territory.

*nods* - I can see that medically they would be the same thing, but my perception (possibly warped) of a 'cold' is 'annoying, gets sympathy, more tired than normal, but can cope with working through it'.
