we just heard marissa say that it is not unusual for flu cases to spike in the winter.> this is what we expect. we are worried about the peak. i think it will be heavy in places like the southeast, what we are seeing across hospitalizations that may overwhelm icus. but the peak is probably similar to some of the worst flu seasons we have seen in the last few years. >> if some of that were to overwhelm hospitals because too many people go to maybe do not need to get that level of care? >> to an extent, urgent care, e.r., the six hour wait, do you or do you not need to be there? high fever, persistently 100 degrees or higher, for 72 hours, especially if it does not respond to tylenol, another anti-fever medication, short of breath, if you feel like you are going to pass out, those are things that automatically requires an emergency room visits, or if you are medically higher risk. if you are medically higher risk , 65 years or older or another condition, i highly recommend you get tested. >> is there a chance you can get the flu again? if you have not, how do you keep you
