Current influenza activity (flu) reported each week by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.
This is normal flu, not "avian flu".
It's interesting that the start this year seems to be in the area devastated a year ago by hurricane Katrina.
Last year, the flu started later, and the Southeast US was just about the last area to get flu.
This could be a real effect due to both the higher stress and lower employment and fresh food sources among the population and the continued damage to the public health infrastructure.
