WSU police spread awareness for flu season
snip
Many news outlets are reporting 11 deaths, which include statewide numbers. Amy Carter, registered nurse for communicable disease and epidemiology at the Weber-Morgan Health Department, said that number is probably a minimum.
?In Weber/Morgan counties, which is where I work, there have been five influenza-related deaths,? Carter said. ?When they say influenza-related, this means most of the people had started with influenza, but that they may have other conditions and/or complications such as pneumonia or respiratory failure that contributed to their death.?
