Flu cases are surging in Ohio and Kentucky, and health officials say West Virginia could be next. Doctors warn a stronger strain of Influenza A, known as H3N2 or the “super flu,” is driving thousands of hospitalizations. The CDC classifies Ohio’s flu activity as very high, with one pediatric death reported. Kentucky’s numbers are rising, while West Virginia remains low for now. Vandalia Health reports a 300 percent increase in local flu cases in just one week. Doctors urge vaccination, good hygiene, and staying home if symptoms appear.
