BOSTON (Reuters) - With flu cases in this city up tenfold from last year, the mayor of Boston declared a public health emergency on Wednesday as authorities around the United States scrambled to cope with a rising number of patients.

U.S. health authorities say the flu arrived about a month earlier than usual this year, and the flu strain making most people sick - H3N2 - has a reputation for causing fairly severe illness, especially in the elderly.

people taking the flu shots are up. Shocking.

I guess disarming the american people is not enough, now the state for "the greater good" must phase in forced innoculations starting with heathcare facilities. Part of Obamacare. (Government, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Hospital Adminstrations Healthcare)
