Minnesota girl dies from flu
We’re already extremely paranoid about the flu, a seemingly innocuous virus that most think will just mean a couple days home from work or school, but that actually kills about 20,000 people a year especially the elderly and young children. The first tragic case at the beginning of this year’s flu season comes from Minnesota, where a Twin Cities 12-year-old has died from influenza.
Police responded to a call around 2:30 in the morning last Monday at the 4200 block of South Fifth Avenue.
When they arrived the 12 year-old girl was already dead.
Neighbors say the girl had been sick for a couple of days.
This as doctors say the flu season has just started in Minnesota.
Counties are also working on a mobilization effort to get more flu shots out to kids.
Doctors at West Health in Plymouth say spring may be around the corner, but the flu season is far from over.
