Warner Hospital CEO Reports Flu Down 75-Percent

Warner Hospital CEO Paul Skowron reports the flu is down 75-percent locally.

 

Skowron says they have seen a massive reduction in the flu this year and he attributes it to the distancing and mask-wearing measures the public has taken thanks to COVID.

 

 

Because this year's flu has been so mild if things return to normal in the flu season of 2021-22, could things be a lot worse? Skowron says that is not out of the realm of possibility and indicates it will be very important everyone gets their flu shots.

 

 

As Illinois begins to ease COVID mitigations, a spring surge of the flu is not out of the question either. Skowron says our immune systems may be thrown off by the quick re-adjustment to a routine we haven't had in a year.

 

 

If you're looking for a reliable way to fend off illnesses like the flu, even COVID, Skowron recommends a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet.
