Flu cases surge

By John Maczko Jan 5, 2026 | 6:58 AM

Flu season is back with a vengeance.  The number of people experiencing symptoms is already spiking.  Last week alone more than 1400 people were hospitalized with the flu in Ohio.  The Ohio Department of Health this week reported that the state’s first flu-associated death happened to someone under the age of 18 from Greene County.  Doctors strongly recommend getting the flu vaccine, and certainly stay home if you feel sick or are sick.
