I caught the flu this year and I tell you it was the sickest I have ever felt in my entire life! This coming from a girl who has been hospitalized for two weeks before for pneumonia! Wash your hands frequently, I keep hand sanitizer at my desk, in my car , in my purse and I have been the Lysol queen!
Yesterday, I was watching the news and even the dogs have a flu epidemic right now. It can be very dangerous to our four legged friends. It was urged to keep your dogs out of daycare and dog parks for at least 30 days!
Today, the Centers for Disease Control confirmed what many Americans may have have figured oout already, that this year’s nationwide flu epidemic is the worst since the 2009 swine flu pandemic. What's even worse about the situation is, it shows no signs of slowing down! The number of people falling ill continues to increase. While the 2009 swine flu was a new virus, which are typically a whole lot tougher to rein in, this year’s dominant strain, H3N2, has been around for 50 years. That said, The New York Times reports that H3N2 "is usually the most lethal of the seasonal strains.”
