Flu Season Update Highlights Widespread Activity Across States
CDC officials say the flu season began in November and by mid January was widespread in 49 states and Puerto Rico with rising flu like illnesses nationwide. The dominant strain is H3N2, associated with more severe illness in seniors and young children, and vaccine effectiveness is about 30 percent. Hospitalizations remain highest among people over 65, with many cases tied to heart or respiratory conditions and obesity. Child flu deaths total 30 this season, including 10 in the second week of January, a count not yet unusual compared with past years.

Supreme Court to hear dusky gopher frog habitat case
The Supreme Court agreed to review the Fish and Wildlife Service designation of 1544 acres in St Tammany Parish Louisiana as critical habitat for the dusky gopher frog a move the landowner and 12 groups condemn as costly and overreaching while the government argues expanded habitat is needed to prevent extinction. The case centers on whether the designation reduces land values by tens of millions despite the absence of frogs on the currently designated land.
