Grandmother gets flu after 30-year streak amid intense U.S. outbreak
There has been an uptick in flu cases in the U.S., with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimating at least 7.5 million illnesses, 81,000 hospitalizations, and 3,100 deaths from the virus, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
Peg Neal, a flu survivor, librarian, and KIRO producer Laura Scott's grandmother, told "The Jake and Spike Show" on KIRO Newsradio that she didn't expect to be feeling so under the weather after decades of avoiding the illness.
