The number of states reporting high levels of influenza activity has dropped, but flu activity still remains "elevated" in most of the United States, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.
Twenty-four states and New York City are reporting high levels of influenza activity as of the week ending January 5 - down from 29 states the previous week, the CDC's Dr. Thomas Frieden said.
"It may be decreasing in some areas, but that's hard to predict ... influenza activity ebbs and flows," Frieden said.
National Institutes of Health: Flu deaths rising among children
Had a flu shot? You'll be OK - maybe
think people b 4 u do such a thing....its prove that d3 can help with this so called strand of flu...its hypocrazy...and people believe any thing that you say on you tv shows ...look up d3 and stop this vaccine insanity
Received the vaccine but keeping my fingers crossed.
Even a perfect immune system would need the cold and flu virus for excercise. Without these viruses, human life on earth would be impossible. Our immune systems would weaken, and something as simple as a simple staph infection could wipe us out. (just as simple staph killed 17 children in Colorado after they had their immune systems disabled by flu vaccines)
It is well known that Colorado houses the sickest people in the United States. Fact.
True, that @Jack. For decades, Colorado has led the nation in per capita child raype and also lead the nation in per capita antidepressant usage. (why Colorado legalized recreational marijunna: An inexpensive way for adult survivors of child abuse to deal with their depression issues)
So widespread is this problem of se xually abused children in Colorado, our State Hospitals are being sued for warehousing child predators!
A 7 yr. veteran policeman in Colorado Springs was accused of raypeing over 80 boys in one school year! (Joshua Carrier was also found guilty and is going to prison for the rest of his life.) We aren't allowed to execute child predators yet or we would here in Colorado.
All severley abused children develop what doctors today call "bi-polarism". Back before 1988, it was called "manic depression".
Adolph Hilter, who was rayped repeatadly by his jewish grandfather's buddy, a Parrish Priest in Lambach Ausria, also developed and was diagnosed by Dr. Theo Morel as a manic depressive. Morel prescribed "vitamin shots" for Hitler. Of course today, we know those weren't really vitamins. They were the world's first serotonin uptake inhibitors developed by Nazi Bayer AG. (SSRI antidepressants commonly used today)
Colorado's Aurora Theatre "shooter" was also a man who had been diagnosed as bi-polar and given "vitamin shots" by his doctor just like Hitler. Only Hitler's theatre was all of Europe.
In light of these nationally televised serial shootings all being carried-out by men on meds, Colorado's governor has called for mental health records to be made "readily available" for backround checks on firearm purchases.
Can you fault our governor for wanting this?
