It's that time of the year when YOU or someone YOU know is battling that nasty, achy FLU-BUG! If you've had it or is currently fighting it, then St. Louis County Health officials say you have a lot of company.
A week ago offiicials told us about 561 new, reported cases of the flu...compared to 166 the previous week.
Now, I'm told on 'Wednesday the new figures are expected to be released, and officials expect them the be EVEN HIGHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, their best advice is to REMEMBER ALL OF THE REMEDIES YOUR MOTHER GAVE YOU: WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN, DRINK LOTS OF COLD JUICES, GET PLENTY OF REST.
If you do come down wtih the respiratory infection see a doctor, don't do like mmany and fall in that trap of "OH I JUST HAVE A COMMON COLD!"
