PA one of 11 states with widespread flu

Despite the warm weather and mild winter, the flu is here in
Pennsylvania, in fact, this is one of the 11 states hard hit or
reported as "Widespread" last week.

The government site publishing statistics,
http://www.dsf.health.state.pa.us/health/cwp/view.asp?A=171&Q=246529,

reports that there have been 6 confirmed cases in each of Jefferson
and Indiana counties as well as 3 in Clearfield county.

Unfortunately, the flu shots aren't for exactly this strain but it
will provide some protection and shots are still available.

Despite the nonsense about terrorism and poisoned Halloween candy
(urban legend, never happened), the simple flu kills more than 35,000
people in the U.S. every year!
(The bird flu which probably will hit us in the next few years, would
kill hundreds of thousands since it is almost 90% fatal.

Yet people worry about the silliest things which have almost no chance
of happening to them.
