Massive Flu Outbreak Hits United States

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

A massive flu outbreak has hit the United States overwhelming hospitals to the point some have had to set up tents to handle the number of patients.

Lehigh Valley Cedar Crest Hospital has tents set up outside the emergency room because of the “increased number of people with flu-like symptoms” according to staff members.

Terry Burger, hospital director of infection control, told NBC that removing the flu patients from the main emergency room protects everyone. In an environment where everyone is wearing masks “it’s safer for them and certainly safer for the staff.”

The Centers for Disease Control reports that 9 of the 10 geographical regions of the U.S. showed elevated outpatient visits for flu-like symptoms during the last week of 2012 and that the number of people impacted is high in 29 states and in New York City.

  1. I will pray along with you for the ones who are ill with the flu. I feel grateful and blessed for God keeping me whole and healed in Jesus Name.

  2. I haven’t caught the flu in ten years, but came down with it this year. I am extremely ill. 70 years old. My sister almost died from this. Please pray for me. I have adrenal problems and a next to nil immune system. Thank you.
