Influenza season may seem like a routine occurrence every
winter season has become a more pronounced problem in the Northwest this flu
season. Flu activity decreased slightly but were at high level in mid February.
Some states only saw isolated instance of influenza illness while most saw
widespread infection. The most astonishing characteristic of this flu season
has been the great number of middle age adults that have been hospitalized. The
cohort with the second highest percentage of hospitalizations has
traditionoally been 0-4 year olds but this year 50-64 year olds have taken the
spot. With 33 per 100.000 adults 50 to 64 being hosptilazied and 21 per 100,000
children up to age 4 getting
hospitalized, scientists are wondering what is leading to this trend. While the
predominant strain of flu can shift from year to year, the predominant strain
this year H3N2 has been seen before and did not induce such a high rate in
middle aged adults. The vaccine effectiveness has determined to be even higher
at 48% overall compared to 47% in the past thus is not the cause of the
increase. The good news is that the worst of the flu season is though to be
over and rate of hospitalizations have begun to go down.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
