In the forecast. Well, we are in the middle of one of the worst flu seasons in more than a decade, the doctor now comes to the 15 -year high for the symptoms of the flu. Nationwide, more than 50,000 people were admitted to the hospital with flu. 46 jurisdiction are reporting high or very high flu levels. Which is included here in Maryland. So now the patient is with Lavanda Stevens before joining us. Thank you very much for coming this morning. So what are you watching the patient first. Well during this season we are seeing unusually high levels of people with high fever. Symptoms of normal flu season, dry cough, muscle pain. And many of them are also affecting our children. Yes. So what do you tell people that they might not have caught it. Many people have. I know that it went through my house about a month ago. If you have managed to avoid it till now, then how can you protect yourself from flu? The most important thing is to wash hands. Avoiding sick contacts if possible. And also that if you are ill, make sure that you distance yourself from other family members and contacts. And you said that if you have not found it, it is not too late to get a flu shot. Absolutely not. I encourage all those who have now become unvacious to go in and shoot their flu. Conservation will take about two weeks to kick, but the flu season does not end until May, and it can imagine a lot of people. Once the weather changes, they can be clear and we are looking at the maps and how bad it is now. And more than the number and more than 30%, about 35% flu testing are positive in Maryland last week. In the most recent figures. Suppose you come down with it, unfortunately. What do you do? How do you recover? How do you make it? The best thing. Hydrate. Keep yourself separate. All coughs and sneezes. Make sure you use tissues. Try to avoid other sick contacts. Bed rest is very important, so I encourage everyone to remove the time that needs them to rest, hydrate and improve themselves. And I think if you are ill, stay at home, do not infect other people. Yes, most people will catch the flu with a close contact, but if you can put yourself into separation, even for a few days, until you have fever for at least 24 hours of medicines If they are not free, then it can prevent the spread of the flu. All right, Dr. Lavanda Stevens, thank you very much for coming. We know the flu season. We are still me
