Influenza - USA
A special education teacher in Texas is reportedly on life support after contracting both strains of influenza, as the worst flu season in years engulfs the United States.
The nationwide flu outbreak is shaping up to be the worst on record, and federal health officials say they can’t predict when the deadly epidemic will end.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a grim report on Friday, revealing that at least 63 children have died from influenza for the 2017-2018 season so far. Ten of them died in the past week alone.
