Signs are also posted throughout Allina clinics and hospitals asking people to wash their hands and cover their cough
to decrease the chance of spreading the flu virus.

“There’ll be boxes of masks and hand sanitation cleanser at each of those entrances associated with each of those signs,” Dr. Rhame said.

The restrictions begin Jan. 2 for Allina Health hospitals, and will stay in effect until the flu is no longer widespread throughout the state.
As of this week, Allina has admitted 120 patients with influenza, and over 870 people have tested positive for the flu.

"influenza and respiratory illness widespread"

It looks like this epidemic isn't just the flu. Minnesota took a lot of refugees from the middle east - I wonder what kind of bugs they brought with them.

I’ve heard the best tracker of the flu that has been found is google.

The number of people googling up flu symptoms is apparently a fantastic indicator of where it’s spreading.

I think stoping all nonessential people into hospitals is probably the best way to go about it until it ends. Just have nurses, doctors and patients and that is it.

Can’t be. Every drug store, discount store, grocery store and popsicle stand has signs out offering free flu shots.

Entering my 5th week with this one. Dry unproductive cough, bad chills, bad sore throat, and all the rest.

Went to Dr and gave me a penicillin shot-a shot not oral. Said that this one is just a step better than the spanish flu and are worried about it morphing into that.

Had some young people that have died from this one around her.

They are hitting it hard. OH I know, penicillin isnt good for fighting viruses and all that, but the day after I got that shot, it started to break and went to a standard productive cough and all the after effects.

BTW, he ordered me NOT to take OTC cough medicines. Use musinex, 800 ML advil a day and a anti histamine.

The State should call for the death penalty for all anti-vaxers.

The morally pure vaccinated have SUPER PROTECTION from disease. They should be happy.

... instead I bet the vaxers are let down because they got infected anyway. Sigh.

Headline is incorrect. Hospitals are not restricting patients, they are restricting visitors.

If you are of average size for your gender and you aren’t either 1)sunning almost naked daily for 30 mins or 2) taking 5000 iu of vitamin d3, you should be. Start today. If you are fighting chronic conditions take 10k iu.

You still might be exposed to the flu but with enough d3 in your body, you will not get sick or get a much less severe case.
