February is traditionally one of the most active flu months in Ohio and Michigan, but Lucas County already has experienced a harsh flu season this fall and winter compared with recent years.
Toledo-Lucas County Health Commissioner David Grossman said it?s difficult to know if the flu season has peaked.
?I don?t think anybody can say definitively where we are at but we haven?t had any more deaths and the number of hospitalizations has slowed down. I would like to think we have reached the zenith and that it is leveling off but it could pick up again like crazy next week,? Dr. Grossman said.
