More Than 100 Are Dead As The Worst Flu Epidemic In Years Sweeps Across The United States<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>This flu season is already off to a record-setting beginning, and many believe that it could ultimately be the worst that we have seen in decades.\u00a0 In fact, it has been reported that if we stay on this current pace that this could truly be the worst flu season in more than 50 years<\/a>.\u00a0 As you will see below, the CDC is reporting widespread flu activity from coast to coast, and the death toll has already crossed 100.\u00a0 Here in the United States, flu season usually begins in October and ends in May, and so we still have a long way to go before it is over.<\/p>\n

Normally the mainstream media tries very hard to keep the public calm about these things, but even the Washington Post<\/a> admits that we are having \u201ca terrible, horrible, no good, very bad flu season\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

The nation is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad flu season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flu is widespread in 46 states, according to reports to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

Nationally, as of mid-December, at least 106 people had died<\/strong> of the infectious disease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Usually a flu outbreak is centered in one portion of the country, but this one is different.\u00a0 According to the CDC, this outbreak is affecting the entire nation, and the number of cases climbed another 5.8 percent<\/a> within the past week\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cFlu is everywhere in the US right now,\u201d<\/strong> said Dr. Dan Jernigan, director of the CDC\u2019s influenza branch. \u201cThis is the first year we\u2019ve had the entire continental US at the same level (of flu activity) at the same time.\u201d<\/strong> It has been an early flu season that seems to be peaking now, he said, with a 5.8% increase in laboratory-confirmed cases this week over last.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
