Missouri sees increase in flu and COVID cases during winter months

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has seen an increase in flu and flu-like illnesses between December and January.

According to the CDC, flu activity typically peaks in February, followed by December, January and March. Boone Health's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robin Blount adds that she also sees an increase in respiratory illnesses in the winter.

"It follows all the travel that occurred over the holidays, people went all over the country and got exposed to everything going on all over the country and then brought it back," Blount said.

Flu cases peaked with 6,371 in the third week of December and saw a slight dip entering into January with 4,790 cases.

They do not want to be involved with other people's healthcare in Missouri. GOP does not even want to lift a hand on Galvanized Pipe Dipped in Zinc where. I live in Cape Girardeau, MO, and 95% of the Town is Water Flowing through lead Pipes. History repeats itself
Roman's drank from Lead Cups. Look what happened to them.
