As of last week, 455 influenza cases have been reported, including 24 hospitalizations and one death, though Baber said she knows of at least a couple other deaths and more hospital visits that haven't officially been reported. The first death ? reported this week ? was an elderly sick resident with H3N2 influenza virus.
