This year's flu season has been epic. In the news, we hear about cases of influenza all over the United States and health officials are warning us of the severity of this year's strain. The flu has been particularly devastating to the older and younger generations, but anyone can be affected. Many deaths have already been reported and more are expected.
Influenza, or the flu as it's more commonly known, is a virus. It is contagious and affects the respiratory system including the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. The flu is often mistaken for a bad cold, and although the symptoms are similar, cases of the flu tend to get worse before they get better.
