[Think free or die]

This is pretty scary stuff. Our school-age sons had flu shots the day after Thanksgiving, so hopefully they'll have some protection against these ugly diseases and complications. Flu is hitting their school already. I've heard quite a few reports of flu in our area of SE Pennsylvania now.

Several reports have indicated the flu is moving east in the US. The initial cases were in Texas, Colorado, and Wyoming, but eastern states are showing more activity. I expect the % of cases that type as Fujian to also increase. The other H3N2 isolates are typing out as Panama-like.

This is pretty scary stuff.

Julie Gerberding and Antony Fauci appearing on network and cable TV on the same day to talk about flu is a clear signal that there is considerable concern.
