«Breaking News» Child death toll from flu season rises to 13, as CDC reports widespread activity in 24 states

The pediatric influenza death toll has risen to 13 for the year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC reports that two more children died of the flu in the week ending December 29, bringing the total for the season to 13. Ten female of the fatalities were female and three male.

By the same week last year, when the flu spiked into an epidemic, there had been 27 pediatric deaths. 

Nevertheless, the CDC warns that 'seasonal influenza activity continues to increase' and advises immediate flu vaccination for anyone who has not yet had the shot.

'An annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect against influenza and its potentially serious complications,' the agency said in a statement. 

'Flu vaccination also has been shown to reduce severity of illness among people who get vaccinated but still get sick. 

'For anyone 6 months or older who has not yet been vaccinated this season, CDC recommends that they get vaccinated now.'

The agency said that in the week ending December 29, the number of states with 'widespread geographic flu activity' more than doubled to 24, from 11.

The states with widespread activity are: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.

The CDC said that H1N1 strains, also known as swine flu, have been the most commonly identified flu viruses nationally this season. However, H3N2 viruses have also been identified.

Adults have also fallen victim to the flu this season. 

In late December, 26-year-old Bre Payton, a writer for The Federalist, died suddenly from H1N1 and meningitis in San Diego.

Payton was considered a rising star at the conservative publication, and made frequent appearances as a commentator on cable news. 

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
