Flu widespread throughout the nation

Flu widespread through the nation, 30 children dead          (CNN HEALTH)

Summary:

The flu is an illness that causes symptoms that range from mild to severe in how much pain it causes, it can even cause the death of some.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that there were around 14,400 laboratory-confirmed cases of the flu as of January 13, meaning that this season there is a total of around 74,560 cases of the flu. The week of January 7 to January 13 came with 10 deaths among kids caused by the flu. The CDC estimates that during the same week, 8.2% of deaths for adults were caused by pneumonia and influenza-related deaths, which is a higher percentage than normal for this time of the year. The same week for every 200,000 people 70 were hospitalized, compared to the 45 out of 200,000 people hospitalized the previous week. 

Who was involved?

This flu widespread affected all states in The United States, except for the state of Hawaii with normal percentage of flu cases. This outbreak is affecting people from all ages, but is mostly affecting children (10 deaths were children's) and elderly people. The CDC is working on how to decrease the numbers of flu cases. 

What is being done about it? 

The CDC is conducting more research to stop this from becoming more severe and dangerous. They recommend for people who haven't been vaccinated to get their vaccines as soon as possible, while they try to come up with solutions to this nation wide problem.

Reflection:

Although it hasn't affected me directly, this issue is very important. This can affect anyone at any moment and it's scary. Since it is affecting people from all ages, and occurring in most states including California this is something that worries me, and there should be more awareness towards this topic.

    Amazing blog post,This is the idea of all authorities who perform particular things at one time but you can get on this page for best work. People did not understand that this kind of the movement is so extreme yet they did it only for the preoccupation of the all inclusive community. Reproving is basic anyway act in this way is so serious business.

Daily Student Success Statement  "True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."  - Brigham Young  Reflection:  I agree with this quote because true independence and freedom can only exist  in doing what's right. So do what's right because it's important to be independent and live freely once you start choosing the right. Like Brigham Young University students don't use bad language, they don't drink alcohol, and caffeine which includes coffee and soda which is so sad. But they resist temptations anyway. SO choose the right.

Daily Student Success Statement

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values." -Dennis Prager Reflection:  I agree with the fact that having good values should be everyone's priority. The first thing that should come to people's mind when they think of something that should be a top priority, is good values. Many people may think that money, health, happiness, or love are more important, but they are not. Although it's better to have money than to not, it still isn't as important as having good morals. Health is good because it keeps you alive, but having health and no good values is not a really good thing. Happiness and love are good but without good values you probably won't receive any of it. So know that although the other options seem better, they are actually not. It is better to be nice, honest, loyal and helpful than rich and healthy but mean and selfish. So like Dennis Prager said without good values, money, happiness, and love are not that good.
