flu

East Texas has been hit hard with influenza this year. So hard, that local hospitals are following medical divert protocols.

When I walked back into the building on Tuesday after vacation. I walked into a petri dish. People sneezing, coughing, hacking and who knows what else.

I don't know about you, but every where I turn, someone has the flu, or someone has strep.  It is everywhere, I mean everywhere!.   Sickness left and right.  So how can you stay well when everyone else is sick.

Science is about to ruin your life.

Ebola may be grabbing all the headlines, but the virus we’re all far more likely to catch and get seriously ill from is one that’s very preventable: the flu.

Unless you’ve been hiding out under the covers shivering, nursing a fever and clutching your achy bones, you probably know this has been a brutal flu season. What you may not know is there are measures you can take to avoid the flu -- and most of them are pretty darned simple. So, what are they?

Over the past few weeks I'm sure you have encountered at least one person who had the flu.  The flu is spreading quickly and is heading for the Amarillo area.

With flu season upon us, 46 percent of Americans have received a flu shot, whereas 47 percent said they have not and will not.
