The flu is striking earlier than usual in North Dakota with schools closing and some communities reporting a temporary shortage of seasonal flu vaccine.

Americans readying for swine flu

The alarm sounded with two sneezy children in California in April. Just five months later, the never-before-seen swine flu has become the world’s dominant strain of influenza, and it’s putting a shockingly younger face on flu. So get ready. With flu’s favorite chilly weather fast approaching, we’re going to be a sick nation this fall. The big unknown is how sick. One in five people infected or a worst case — half the population? The usual 36,000 deaths from flu or tens of thousands more?

Not enough people get the flu vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we think more people — especially the young, old and vulnerable — should. The vaccine is important not only because it keeps people active, healthy and working, but also because it saves lives. Each year, the flu kills about 36,000 Americans and sends about 200,000 to the hospital.
