Brusly High School had nearly half of the kids out last week, with Friday being the worst day. It is a combination of flu and strep. They said they have never seen that many kids out before. I know we joke about canceling school for no reason but I thought that was a good time to do it, especially Friday. Give everyone 3 days to go home and come back Monday not contagious.

My entire family is at home sick. 5/5. Although I don’t think it’s flu- more like a cold.

3 ha ha

Coppell ISD said more than 350 students were absent Monday.

The district said about 325 students didn’t come to school on Tuesday, reportedly either sick with the flu or flu-like symptoms.

GET THE FLU SHOT PEOPLE. Don’t be stupid. It is good and accurate this year.

Plus you are protecting those who can’t get their vaccinations for health reasons

Damn that’s kind of scary. I’m pretty conjested in my nasal cavity and in my chest so a lot of coughing and blowing my nose but that’s it. No flu symptoms. I’d hate to get the flu

CDC has antigenically or genetically characterized 769 influenza viruses collected September 30, 2018 – February 2, 2019, and submitted by U.S. laboratories, including 450 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, 239 influenza A(H3N2) viruses, and 80 influenza B viruses.


the cdc map shows Louisiana red.
The worst. Tied with several other southern plains and southeast states.

Good news is that only 9 per 100k being hospitalized.
Last year was 30 hospitalized per 100k and more deaths too.

There's no public vaccine for the h3n2 yet. They have it in tests.
H1n1 was a big deal previously so there's a vaccine.

Well....it is flu season.

So not that shocking that people get the flu DURING flu season.

Wash your hands. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your fricking mouth when you cough and sneeze. Get your flu shot early in the season(need at least 2 weeks before the shot can protect you).
