New York City Flu Epidemic – Roosevelt Island Doctor Says Worse Flu Season He Can Remember, How Are You Feeling?

The New York Post reported today:

A ferocious flu epidemic has New Yorkers rushing to doctors, hospitals and drug stores with emergency-room visits up 150 percent over last year, city health officials said yesterday.

Its a bad year. Weve got lots of flu, said city Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley, who noted influenza-related cases spiked from 2 percent of all emergency-room visits for the peak of last years flu season to 5 percent this year….

I asked Roosevelt Island’s Doctor Jack Resnick:

How is the Flu impacting Roosevelt Island this year?

Dr. Resnick replied:

These last three weeks have been the worst flu season I can remember.

Flu shots are available at the Roosevelt Island Duane Reade.

Hope you avoid the Flu but if not, take care of yourself.
