                          N.C.'s deadliest flu season appears to be fizzling out

                          By Paige Rentz Staff writer

                          North Carolina's deadliest flu season in years appears to be fizzling out.
                          Last week, one person died of flu-related causes, the state Department of Health and Human Services reported Thursday.
                          "Certainly, that's nothing to celebrate, but it's nice to see the numbers go down," said Dr. Zack Moore, an epidemiologist with the state DHHS.
                          That's down from seven straight weeks during each of which six or seven people died. Before then, the state saw six weeks with double-digit death tolls, which peaked at 41 during the week ending Jan. 3.
                          With a total of 207 flu-associated deaths recorded since the week ending Oct. 3, this season has seen nearly double the highest death toll of 107 in at least the past six years. The state began tracking adult deaths in 2009, when the H1N1 flu pandemic struck, Moore said.
