Critical Signal: Lubbock and New Mexico fight heavy influenza outbreaks – FMX 94.5

Lubbock, Texas is in the grip of the flu season.

This is the top

Lubbock joins the rest of Texas as “very high” reports cases of flu. New Mexico is also currently suffering. Not only are we at the top of the reports diagram, remember that there are many people who just suffer from it without medical help. In Texas, some schools had to be closed due to violent influenza foci.

Avoid flu

Prevention is the first way to stop this jump. Flu shots work to prevent or reduce the symptoms of influenza. They have been tested, tried and tested and it is difficult to believe that more people do not take advantage of them. Washing hands helps immeasurably and of course it is not in close proximity to people who currently have symptoms.

Recognize the symptoms

Admit the symptoms of the flu are also very important. Flu sufferers can experience fever, coughing, sore throat, nose congestion or runny nose, muscle pain, headache and fatigue. Some, especially the younger sufferers, can also have vomiting and diarrhea.

It is serious

The flu is extremely unpleasant and can also be deadly. About 36,000 people die annually from the flu, making it the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, especially at risk, are very young, very old and people with existing conditions. It is important to stop distribution before reaching these high -risk groups. If you do not experience serious conditions, it is important to stay home, drink plenty of liquids and rest a lot.
