A lot of our facilities are old, with no isolation facilities. |
Due to factors beyond our control, we escaped a major epidemic _ for the time being, anyway. |
If you are between 5 and 60, you may be as sick as a dog, but you will recover. It's the very young and very old who don't have that immunity that are at risk. |
In the next few weeks we will see a lot of it. |
It looks definitely that we are way out of the ordinary. My prediction is that this will be a big flu season. It's all over Northern California. |
It's very active, much more than normal. |
There is no way at this time that we can even plan for this epidemic. |
Things fell off very quickly. |
We are in outbreak mode. We are seeing much more evidence of flu than we normally see. |
We could be easily overwhelmed. |
We're seeing a lot of influenza, more than in recent years. This is a very big year. |
You can do a lot to protect yourself by using hand hygiene, cough etiquette and staying home if you have a fever. |
