Flu season worsens as CDC notes peak levels
The CDC says the flu season is getting worse with visits for coughs and flu symptoms at peaks tied to the 2009 swine flu epidemic. One in 13 doctor visits last week cited flu symptoms as the reason, a level reaching its highest since 2009 and surpassing every winter since 2003. The season began early and spread widely by December, driven by a severe flu type causing more hospitalizations and deaths.

Rally to Save Historic Aiken Hospital Draws 50 Supporters
At Richland Avenue West a rally gathered more than 50 locals and officials to oppose demolition of the Colonial Revival hospital. Norah Drumming, 7, joined her sister Eva, 3, in signing a petition and carrying a handmade sign urging revival of the building as a community arts landmark. Mandy Darnsning, founder of the Revive Historic Aiken Hospital page on Facebook, compared the building to art like the Mona Lisa and urged unity across parties to preserve the site. County Council Vice Chair Andrew Siders led the event and voiced bipartisan support, with a decision pending from the council on the building's fate.
