Our local medical expert, an infectious diseases doc, was on the news saying that the young seem to be harder hit.
He said it's similar to viruses that have been around since the thirties, and older people might have built up some amounts of immunity to it.
What I wonder is if it's been around that long, why won't the vaccine take care of it?
He said not to panic, to take regular precautions, and to make sure to contact your doctor if you come down with the flu.
He also showed a nasopharyngsomething or another swab, which perhaps worked against his urgings to contact your doctor.
