Still flu

[petmoosie]

There are still new cases being reported in the US and Canada. Illinois has suddenly had 3 deaths. But the numbers of new cases are small compared to the numbers that have already been reported. The big increases in cases are occurring in the tropics (?) like Panama, and the Southern Hemisphere, especially Latin America.

I wonder about the seasonality of it. All flu is supposed to be seasonal, due to the way it reproduces. It can be spread 6 or more feet by a sneeze in cold, dry weather. Much less distance in warm humid weather. Hmmm.
