HART, Mich. (WOOD) - An Oceana County woman with other chronic health conditions died following complications of the H1N1 flu.
In a statement, the medical director for the Oceana County Health Department, Dr. James Wilson, said, ?We extend our sincerest sympathies to family members and friends of this individual. This incident serves to remind us that H1N1 can be deadly. Most cases have been mild, but any flu illness has the potential to turn into something more serious, even in previously healthy persons.?
While flu-like illness reports have been declining in the past 2-3 weeks, flu activity is still much higher than the normal peak for this time of year. The regular seasonal flu is usually most widespread in February. Almost all of the flu viruses CDC has identified across the country so far continue to be H1N1
