For anyone interested, I read this article on KSL.com over the weekend...
Flu season growing stronger
February 23rd, 2008 @ 9:50pm
(KSL News) Health officials say the flu season is getting worse across the country. The latest report now shows widespread outbreaks in every state except Florida. And the percentage of deaths from respiratory illness has been climbing sharply.
Dr. Nancy Cox, with the Centers of Disease Control, says the agency isn't sure when the virus will slow down. "But we really don't know when the season will peak and when it will be over with," she said.
One of problems fueling this year's flu strain is that it's immune to this year's flu shot. Officials are already working to fix next year's shots to prevent a similar outbreak.
It sounds like all of us are doomed...Good luck! :)
