Flu

As we close out 2015 and ring in the New Year on Friday, the weather is expected to turn colder in Jersey, and that could mean an increased risk of getting sick.

It’s still officially summer but if you’re feeling sick, you might be coming down with the flu.

It appears flu activity, which has been declared as an epidemic this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is getting worse.

Just a few days into the winter season, a growing number of New Jersey residents are getting sick with the flu.

Flu season is underway across the U.S. and as fears about Ebola spread, it's possible that some people could confuse the two viruses since they both exhibit similar symptoms in the beginning.

The calendar says mid-April, everything is turning green, the birds are singing, and yet in many parts of New Jersey there are reports of increased influenza-like illness.

Most of the time, exposure to influenza is most dangerous for older individuals, but this year just the opposite seems to be true.

'Tis the season to be jolly -- as long as you don't come down with the flu.

Flu-like activity is on the decline in most parts of the country, but not here in New Jersey.

The flu bug rages on. The New Jersey Department of Health says New Jersey flu activity remains high this week.
