If you didn't, it's not too late, and you may want to do so.  Public health officials say this has been one of the worst flu sesaons in decades.  We will  get an update from a local doctor on the reasons we are seeing so many cases and why those cases are so severe.  We will also hear abou the emerging coronavirus.  The potentially deadly respirator virus began in China late last year and is being reported in other locations globally--including the United States.
