INFLUENZA UPDATE MARCH 9TH, 2012

Flu is on the upswing, slowly, in Arizona. That said, I have not documented a single case yet in our office. All suspected cases have tested negative.
This is looking to be among the mildest of flu seasons over the past several years, but do be cautious in public and attending to washing/cleansing hands and avoiding excessive casual contact with people during the next four weeks if you have the potential for infection due to a compromised immunity (diabetes, COPD, Heart Failure)….better to be safe over the coming few weeks.
