Flu Like Illness On Increase In The State Maine Dept Reports A2 Type
The Maine Health and Welfare Department said a probable influenza illness is rising in isolated areas but not yet a state epidemic. It may reach that stage, but residual immunity from a past outbreak could slow spread. The illness, not yet lab confirmed, is linked to an Asian flu like A2 virus and is generally milder in the young but more severe in older and chronically ill people.
