Officials Confirm First Flu Death In Wisconsin
Well it seems as if the flu season is a reality now with officials confirming the first flu death in Vilas County, marking the first for this year in the state.
Everyone is again being reminded to keep your flu shot up to date especially seniors, young children and those with compromised immune systems.
The flu seems to have spread slower this year but it is now considered all over our state with the most cases being reported around the south/southeast, and western sections.
So what I tell my kids all of the time, the best way to avoid getting the flu is wash your hands often, especially before you eat or drink anything. And remember to not touch your face, especially nose, or eyes during the day especially when you are with a lot of people such as in a classroom. Get plenty of sleep, and avoid crowds when possible.
Anyone home with the flu this week? Hope you are feeling better soon.
