Major Flu Outbreak In Central Florida
Posted: 4:08 pm EST January 6, 2011Updated: 4:28 pm EST January 6, 2011

CENTRAL FLORIDA -- There is a major outbreak of the flu in Central Florida and even doctors said they were astounded by the number of people getting sick. This week, doctors at Florida Hospital Centra Care saw 17 times their usual number of flu patients.

The flu is spreading and people are suffering and walk-in clinics like Centra Care have been busy.

"I had mine for about 10 days, body aches, headaches, sore throat, little bit of fever," said patient Natalie Diaz.

"At Centra Care we've seen a dramatic increase in the number of flu cases," Dr. Tim Hendrix of Centra Care said.

Dr. Hendrix said in early December, Centra Care was seeing about 20 flu cases a week, and the past 7 days they've seen 340 people with the flu.

"It's been a substantial increase. I'd say we're pretty much into an epidemic type of flu scenario now," Hendrix said.....

My wife's parents live in Melbourne, FL and her father was taken to the hospital today because his kidneys are failing. There are so many flu cases that he's still in the ER because there are no beds available. A nurse who is a friend here in St. Augustine told us that since New Year's nearly all the ER admissions are flu related.
