Idaho Lucky On Flu Front

Item: Idaho luckier than most other states this flu season/Idaho Statesman

More Info: Idaho is luckier than much of the rest of the nation this flu season.
The state still is recording fewer flu deaths than during an average year, even though federal health experts are calling this one of the worst seasons in recent years nationwide. One more Idahoan, a man older than age 50, has died of flu complications in the southeastern corner of the state within the past two weeks, health officials say. That brings the statewide total to nine for the season. The flu season in Idaho generally runs from late November through May.

Question: Did you catch the flu this long winter?
