Current Events > CDC investigators going to University of Michigan amid flu outbreak

(+) Yeah! (+)

"Investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are going to the University of Michigan to look into the flu outbreak on campus and examine how the illness is spreading.
Since the first positive flu case was detected on the Ann Arbor campus on Oct. 6, a total of 528 cases of the flu have been diagnosed at the University Health Service (UHS), according to a statement from the university.

Given the spike in cases, the university announced on Monday that starting this week, the Washtenaw County Health Department, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the university, and a team from the CDC will start looking into the influx of cases to study how the sickness is spreading and how effective the influenza vaccine is."

A little bit early for a major flu outbreak to happen, interesting. I think the flu typically peaks in Jan-Feb months.
