Flu-Related Deaths, Hospitalizations Set Record Highs.

health authorities said on Wednesday that a fifth child has died from the flu this season. The Minnesota Department of Health “did not identify the latest victim, say whether other medical conditions came into play or specify when the death occurred.” The number of child flu deaths in Minnesota is disproportionate to the nationwide number of 69, according to the CDC. The reason is unclear, although “some states aren’t as quick to report flu-related deaths.” http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/291761531.html
