Jacqueline Ray+FollowSuper Flu Surge: Who’s Most at Risk?Flu season is hitting hard this year, with hospitalizations jumping 53% in just a week—especially for older adults and kids.

Kevin Rodriguez+FollowFlu Season Is Wild Right Now!Flu is hitting hard this year—like, record-breaking hard. Over half the country has “high” or “very high” flu rates, and hospitalizations are up.

Oh, and it’s not too late for a flu shot! Stay safe out there! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason00Share
nathan87+FollowFlu Meds: The Secret Weapon We’re IgnoringDid you know we’re in the middle of the worst flu season in 20+ years, but doctors aren’t using flu antivirals like Tamiflu as much as they could? These meds can actually shorten how long you’re sick and make symptoms less brutal, but tons of people—especially kids—aren’t getting them. Docs say it’s complicated, but early treatment really helps. Why aren’t we talking about this more? #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason71Share
Allison Bauer+FollowWhy Aren’t We All Using Xofluza?Did you know there’s a flu drug that’s easier to take and works just as well as Tamiflu? Xofluza is a one-and-done pill (no 5-day marathon) and even makes you less contagious. Hardly anyone’s using it, mostly because it’s new and not every pharmacy stocks it. But with this brutal flu season, maybe it’s time to ask your doc about it! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason10Share
suarezpatricia+FollowFlu Hotel Experiment: No One Got Sick?!Imagine being locked in a hotel with people who have the flu—and walking out totally healthy. That’s what happened in a wild new study. Turns out, not coughing and having good air flow made a huge difference. Researchers say it’s not just about being in the same room; it’s about how the air moves and whether anyone’s hacking up a lung. Maybe air purifiers and masks are the real MVPs this flu season! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason00Share
