Have you noticed folks coughing or sneezing a little bit more over the last couple of weeks here in East Texas especially in Tyler, Longview, Lufkin or Nacogdoches?
Let's face it, these days you really can't tell what is what.
Is it the flu?
Is it COVID?
Is it Cedar Fever? (which is a strong allergy)
What is it???
Basically, they all have some of the same symptoms but are different viruses.
WFAA ...
Flu-related deaths in Texas continue to rise.More than 2,300 flu-related deaths have been reported in Texas since October, and flu-related deaths in our state continue to rise.
We're usually proud of Texas being ranked No. 1, but this is an honor we could do without. Flu cases are spiking across the Lone Star State this winter.
