District 4 Public Health wants parents and employers to know that flu-like illness is being reported in communities within the 12 county Region. Because only a small portion of persons with respiratory illness are tested for novel H1N1, confirmed and probable
case counts represent a significant underestimation of the true number of novel H1N1 flu cases.
Be worried, very worried.
The regular flu influenza is responsible for 36,000 deaths in the U.S. every year.
I just hope we can stop the H1N1 from being something big. But as it stands right now, we are in trouble. Many people will die for this.
