The flu is on the rise in North Carolina, and it’s just going to get worse. As of February 21st, over thirty two people have died from the flu, but that number keeps rising. This is issue is important, because it affects everyone. It affects the hospitals, because they are overflowing with patients. It affects schools, because it lowers attendance. It affects businesses, because they lose employees. No one is safe. This issue interests me, because there have been lots of absences at my school, and I want to keep everyone safe, and healthy. But, why should you be interested? You should be interested, because you can be infected in seconds, and spread it even more, and if you are infected, the flu pauses your entire life, and may even put it in danger, Luckily, I have come up with some ways for you to protect yourself and others. You should wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, wear a mask when you come near an infected person, and if you are sick stay home! Going out in public while infected only spreads the virus even more Stay safe! For more info click here.

This issue is very interesting to me because there are many people in our school that are sick. I'm surprised that 32 people have died this year.
