It didn't get a whole season named after it for nothing - possibly, a complete season of a game is named after something because that something is too good or has done exceptionally well. You have to stay in bed all day - probably, this is being said to someone who is not well, and therefore needs to take rest by staying in bed. You don't mess with flu - flu is too dangerous to be messed with - you are being warned that you must not take your flu casually, and must take care.
