The second wave in the fall of 1919 was when they started dropping like flies.

Loosing a loved one to the H1N1(Pneumonia)combination is sad statistic. No one ever wants to be included in that growing group.
I work in a very busy urgent care that has seen our “flu-like” symptoms sky rockets in the last two months.
if you have a Fever of 101.0 or higher and can not get it down with Advil or Tylenol (gen ok) and a sudden Sore Throat, Cough, Body Aches some times even diarrhea and vomiting. GO TO THE DOCTORS
These are Classic symptoms of the FLU get checked, Wash your hands often, Cover Your Coughs, Stay Away from Others.
How do they test. First they will want to make sure its not Strep, throat swab. Second a nasal swab to be sent to the lab. Some clinics have rapids results some don’t but all ER’s will.
The “Normal Flu season” is Mid Feb to end March this is out of control clear in to JUNE.
