“Feds Confirm Catastrophic Flu Outbreak
 Is In At Least 36 states – Stay Safe!”
byCI

“Flu season got an early start this year. Influenza has become widespread in 36 U.S. states, earlier than usual for the season which typically peaks in February. The CDC attributed the early start to poor efficacy of vaccines and unusually cold temperatures. More than thirty deaths from the flu have occurred this season, which the CDC attributes to a strain that isn’t totally covered by last year’s vaccine. Epidemiologists say it’s too early to tell just how bad the season will be.

Early flu season: Epidemiologists reported widespread flu activity in 31 states to the CDC on Friday. 21 states had high flu activity and five moderate activity in the last week of 2017. “It’s just one of those years where the CDC is seeing that this strain of flu is only somewhat covered by the vaccine that was given this year,” said Jennifer Radtke, manager for infection prevention at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. “They’re seeing that it’s anywhere from 10% to 33% effective, so any time there’s a mismatch between the vaccine and the circulating strain of the flu, you’re going to see more cases,” Radtke said.

The CDC released a map to show the states most affected. The 21 states with the highest activity last week were Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

Vaccine effectiveness varies from year to year. According to the CDC, risk of sickness drops about 4o to 60 percent among the overall population when a vaccine matches the strain well. False negative results are common for flu tests, said Radtke, so it’s possible that the number of people affected is much higher. And many affected also don’t go to the hospital to get tested in the first place.

30 dead: At least thirty people have been reported dead, including 12 childrenAt least 11 people 65 and younger have died in California, while 12 and seven deaths have been reported in North Carolina and South Carolina, respectively. Three flu-related pediatric deaths occurred in the final week of 2017. The culprit is strain H3N2, which experts say isn’t totally covered by last year’s flu vaccine. According to CDC data, between 12,00 and 56,000 people have died from the flu each year since 2010.”

      This is how I have managed to stay well since the winter of 2015-16. I have recently posted this comment under various articles about colds and flu.
      My method is to not get a sore throat, chest cold or flu in the first place, thanks to quercetin dihydrate. Quercetin is found in apples, onions and many other fruits and vegetables.
      The following two supplements keep my lungs and sinuses healthy (quercetin) and my lung and sinus mucus thinned and liquefied (Mrs. Dash Table Blend seasoning).

      What works for me is taking the yellow powder, quercetin dihydrate. It somehow galvanizes my lungs and sinuses.
      I am someone who believes that 500 mg per day (mornings) of quercetin dihydrate powder (about a level half measuring teaspoon) is enough to guard the lungs and sinuses and protect them from colds and flu. I haven’t had my normal winter chest cold since starting quercetin 3 years ago.
      I thought that quercetin wasn’t helping me at all, so to discontinue taking quercetin I twice dropped the dose to either 250 mg or zero (nothing), but both times I had the sniffles within a month. So it takes at least 400 mg of quercetin per day for me. I also realized that quercetin had been giving me energy so I was glad to restart taking it.

      I buy quercetin dihydrate in the 250 gram bag at Bulk Supplements. A 250 gram bag will theoretically last about 500 days at 500 mg per day.

      For thinning and liquefying lung and sinus mucus, for decades I have taken a level half teaspoon of Mrs. Dash Table Blend (MDTB) seasoning mornings. It seems to take about 2 weeks to start thinning lung mucus so it can be coughed up more easily. The sinuses probably take longer to clear but should eventually. Increasing the MDTB dose doesn’t seem to increase the results.
      I just put both the Mrs. Dash Table Blend and quercetin in mouth together and wash down with water. It’s quicker that way.

      The more exact dose of Mrs. Dash table Blend that I have taken for decades with great results in thinning/liquefying lung and sinus mucus is 1/2 level measuring teaspoon mornings. I now just use a 7 inch long stainless steel iced teaspoon (1 level iced tsp) because it dips way down into the deep seasoning container easier.
      I had laryngitis in the Fall of 2016 where I couldn’t clear my throat, even though I was taking 500 mg of the aforementioned quercetin. I restarted taking the Mrs. Dash Table Blend and my throat cleared the same day, so there is something in this 14 herb seasoning that thins mucus, maybe the lemon oil.
      I eat dairy and cheese, but dairy in general and increasing dairy intake also seems to increase mucus production for me for a day or two.

      I buy MDTB at Walmart in the 6.75 oz size which lasts over 3 months.

      My take on vitamin C is that it doesn’t keep me from taking colds and flu. The same with vitamin D-3.
      I took lots of vit C for years during the 80′s and 90′s. I would take it up to bowel tolerance.
      I took vit D-3 at 5000 units/day for 5 years starting in 2011 because I read that D-3 protects the lungs from getting colds and flu but I still got a chest cold each winter.
      Quercetin is what prevents colds and flu for me and I would try quercetin for any lung or sinus problem.
