Pressure mounts with different flu virus | @scoopit http://t.co/9Ebeufs9
"The earliest start to the flu season in 10 years and the rise of a strain known to cause more severe illness is putting pressure on WA's already stretched health resources. Experts have warned it could be a bad flu season this year, with flu notifications rising sharply and continuing to flood in. Around half of cases diagnosed so far are influenza A/H3N2 which is known to be more deadly and cause worse illness than other strains." OK, now a good reason to stay away from WEST Australia, too! Seriously, it's a good reminder that you don't need a pandemic flu strain to be in danger from the flu. Vaccinate!!
